金融街熊大熊二搬家 原因竟是證監會投訴

A statue of a cartoon bear has been removed from outside China's securities regulator after complaints that it was making a middle-finger gesture at the building.

日前，在證監會投訴稱兩座卡通熊（“熊大”和“熊二”）的雕塑看起來像在對證監會大樓豎中指之後，位於北京金融街的這兩座雕塑就被搬離了。

Statues of two characters from the popular Boonie Bears cartoon had been installed opposite the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) headquarters in Beijing, as part of an attraction marking Children's Day, the People's Daily newspaper reports. But it wasn't long before one bear's paws caught the attention of passers-by, with two outstretched digits apparently aimed at the government building.

據人民日報報道，放置在中國證監會北京總部對面的這兩座卡通片《熊出沒》的雕塑，本來是慶祝兒童節的一個標誌。但是很快，其中一隻熊就引起了行人的注意，它豎起的兩根手指，很明顯地在指着證監會大樓。

Both statues were subsequently taken down and replaced with cartoon monkeys.

很快這兩座雕塑就被撤了下來，而換上了一隻卡通猴子。

Zhu Lei, who was in charge of the Boonie Bear attraction, says the CSRC called to complain about the bear's "impolite hand gesture". They said it was "as if it was putting its middle finger up at them", he tells Beijing Youth Daily. "But a bear only has four fingers, it would not give a middle finger."

據負責這兩座《熊出沒》雕塑的朱磊透露，是證監會打電話來向他們投訴這隻熊的“不禮貌手勢”。朱磊接受《北京青年報》採訪時表示，證監會的人說這隻熊看起來“好像在對他們豎中指”。但是實際上熊只有4根手指，根本沒有中指。

The gesture may not have been the only issue though - the term "bear market" refers to falling share prices and widespread selling, and mid-June marks a year since China's financial market turmoil began.

這個手勢也許不是唯一的原因，“熊市”表示股票價格下跌和大範圍的股票拋售，而到今年6月中旬爲止，中國股市的動盪已經持續一年了。

That fact has not been lost on Chinese social media users. "Who knew the CSRC's leaders were superstitious," says one on the Beijing Youth Daily website.

不過中國社交媒體上的用戶們卻沒有遺漏掉這一事實。在《北京青年報》的網站上，有人評論稱：“誰知道證監會的領導是不是迷信。”

Another simply declares: "These rotten stock exchange people are too sensitive."

還有人則簡單地指出：“這些爛股票交易所的人實在是太敏感了。”

Mr Zhu says the Boonie Bears have now been consigned to a store room in order to avoid any further trouble.

據朱磊表示，現在這倆座《熊出沒》雕塑已經被放進了儲藏室裏，以免將來惹出什麼其他事端。
