这个黄金马桶是由备受争议的意大利艺术家Maurizio Cattelan设计的,两天前才在布伦海姆宫(即温斯顿•丘吉尔出生地)展出。

The fully-functioning solid gold toilet was created by Cattelan for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, where more than 100,000 people queued to use the security-guarded loo.

这个功能齐全的纯金马桶可以正常使用。它是由艺术家Cattelan为纽约所罗门R.古根海姆博物馆创建,吸引超过10万人排队使用。

The golden lavatory, named America, drew large crowds when it was exhibited in New York. It had been installed in a wood-panelled chamber opposite the room where Churchill was born.

和一般展览物件不同的是,艺术家给这个黄金马桶安装了水泵,可以正常使用。

Visitors were able to use the five million-pound toilet and were allocated a strict three-minute time slot.

体验过18K黄金马桶的人说,那感觉就好像在瓷器上撒尿一样畅快。

You get three minutes alone in the wood-panelled chamber. How does it feel to urinate on gold? Much like peeing on porcelain.

你可以在木板房里独自待上三分钟。在黄金马桶上小便的感觉如何?就像在瓷器上撒尿一样。

黄金马桶失窃,是谁都没有想到的事情。不仅是因为黄金分量重,难以移动,还因为你完全不知道上一个使用者会“留下些”什么……

Ahead of the toilet’s installation, Edward Spencer-Churchill, founder of the Blenheim Art Foundation, said last month the lavatory wouldn’t be “the easiest thing to nick”.

在安装展品之前,布伦海姆艺术基金会的创始人Edward Spencer-Churchill上个月还放出话,黄金马桶不容易被偷走。

“Firstly, it’s plumbed in and secondly, a potential thief will have no idea who last used the toilet or what they ate,” he told the Times. “So no, I don’t plan to be guarding it.”

“首先,它接着水管。其次,一个潜在小偷不会知道谁最后一次使用厕所或他们吃了什么,”他告诉《纽约时报》。“所以,我觉得它不需要重点看守。”

这位基金会创始人,显然是太低估了小偷水平……

A 66-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the theft.

警方逮捕了一名66岁的男性嫌犯。

The burglary has left the palace with significant damage and flooding.

盗窃现场给宫殿带来了巨大的破坏和渗水。

“The artwork has not been recovered at this time, but we are conducting a thorough investigation to find it and bring those responsible to justice.”

“这件艺术品目前尚未找回,但我们正在进行彻底的调查,以求找到它并将肇事者绳之以法。”
