'We WILL rebuild Notre Dame': French president Macron says 'the worst' has been prevented as bell towers are saved but inferno reduces much of the medieval cathedral to ashes in just an HOUR

法国总统马克龙称“我们将重建圣母院”，我们保住了钟楼，但在短短一个小时内这座中世纪大教堂的大部分已化为灰烬

French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild Notre Dame with help from the international community after a devastating fire gutted the famous Catholic cathedral last night.

法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙承诺，要在国际社会的帮助下重建圣母院。

Speaking just hours after the roof of the 850-year-old building caved in, Macron said a national fundraising campaign to restore the historic building would be launched today, and he called on the world's 'greatest talents' to help.

在这座拥有850年历史的建筑屋顶坍塌几小时后，马克龙发表讲话说，将于今天发起一场旨在修复这座历史建筑的全国筹款活动，他呼吁世界上“最伟大的人才”伸出援手。

The French leader credited the 'courage' and 'great professionalism' of firefighters with sparing Notre Dame's spectacular Gothic facade and two landmark towers from being destroyed, saying 'the worst has been avoided'.

这位法国领导人赞扬了消防员的“勇气”和“伟大的专业行动”，使圣母院壮观的哥特式外墙和两座地标性建筑免于被毁。他说，“最坏的情况已经避免了”。

But much of the UNESCO World Heritage landmark building was devastated. The 300ft-tall Gothic spire collapsed into the embers early in the blaze to pained cries of 'Oh my God' from locals transfixed by the unfolding scene.

但是联合国教科文组织世界遗产、地标性建筑的大部分结构遭到损毁。这座300英尺高的哥特式尖塔在大火初起时坍塌，当地人被眼前的景象惊呆了，痛苦地呼喊着“哦，上帝啊”。

'We have been dealt a knockout blow,' a grief-stricken Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit said at the scene.

悲痛万分的巴黎大主教奥珀蒂在现场说，“我们受到了致命的打击。”

The blaze broke out just before 7pm local time in a roof area undergoing around £6m of renovations. The fire service said last night they believed it was an accident, but investigations were continuing.

大火发生在当地时间下午7点之前，起火点位于屋顶区域，当时正在进行约600万英镑的翻修工程。消防部门昨晚表示，他们认为这是一起事故，但调查仍在继续。

More than 400 firefighters battled the flames, which quickly spread along the roof structure, causing burning timbers to collapse onto the ceiling of the vault below. Some of that collapsed into the aisle however the cathedral's Twitter account declared the damage inside was less than feared, in a message ending 'Allelujah'.

400多名消防员与大火搏斗，大火迅速蔓延到屋顶结构，导致燃烧的木材坍塌到下面穹顶的天花板上。其中一些倒塌在过道上，但是大教堂的推特账号在推文中称，教堂内部的损毁并不像人们担心的那么严重，并以“哈利路亚”为结束语。

At around 3am local time, Paris fire brigade chief Jean-Claude Gallet said: 'We can consider that the main structure of Notre-Dame has been saved and preserved as well as the two towers.'

当地时间凌晨3点左右，巴黎消防队队长让-克劳德·加勒特说:“我们可以这么认为，圣母院的主体结构和两座塔楼得以保存了下来。”

And a brigade spokesman added: 'We will continue to watch over any residual pockets of fire and cool down the areas that are still red-hot, like the wooden beam framework.'

一名消防队发言人补充说:“我们将继续监视任何残留的火星，并对炽热区域—比如木梁框架—进行降温。”

One fireman was severely injured tackling the blaze, but no fatalities were reported. The building – and the entire Ile de la Cite island it occupies in the centre of the French capital – were successfully evacuated as the seriousness of the fire became clear.

一名消防员在灭火过程中受重伤，但没有造成人员死亡。随着火势越来越猛，这座建筑以及它所占据的位于法国首都中心的整个城市岛都被成功疏散。

As well as the historic stricture, the cathedral was home to dozens of priceless artefacts, including the reputed Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus during his crucifixon.

除了古老的建筑，这座大教堂还收藏了数十件价值连城的文物，包括著名的耶稣受难时戴的荆棘王冠。

A human chain of emergency service workers carried this and many other items to safety.

一条由紧急服务人员组成的人龙将这些物品和许多其他物品运送到安全地带。

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said: 'Thank you to the [Paris fire brigade], policemen and the municipal agents who have made this evening a tremendous human chain to save the works of Notre Dame. The Crown of Thorns, the tunic of Saint Louis and several other major works are now in a safe place.'

巴黎市长安妮·伊达尔戈说:“感谢(巴黎消防队)、警察和市政工作人员，你们今晚组建了拯救巴黎圣母院建筑的巨大人龙。荆棘王冠、圣路易斯的束腰外衣和其他几件重要作品现在都转移到了安全的地方。”

Priceless works that couldn't be moved fared less well. Firefighters told how the building's stained-glass rose windows, high on the north, west and south faces of the cathedral, 'exploded' in the heat of the inferno.

而那些无法搬动的无价之宝就没那么幸运了。消防队员讲述了这座建筑的彩色玻璃窗是如何在大火高温下“炸裂”的。

'They exploded because of the heat of the blaze,' said one, referring to the Rosette West, which was created in 1225, the Rosette North and the Rossette South, both from 1250.

其中一人说，“玻璃炸裂是因为大火温度太高了。”他指的是1225年建成的玫瑰西窗、1250年建成的玫瑰北窗和玫瑰南窗。

In an impassioned speech outside the cathedral, President Macron said: 'We will appeal to the greatest talents and we will rebuild Notre Dame because that's what the French are waiting for, because that's what our history deserves, because it's our deepest destiny.'

法国总统马克龙在大教堂外发表了极富感染力的讲话，他说:“我们将向最伟大的人才发出呼吁，我们将重建圣母院，因为这是法国人期盼的，这是我们的历史应得的，因为这是我们的命运。”

Late on Monday evening French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault pledged 100 million euros (£86.2 million) towards the rebuilding the cathedral.

周一晚些时候，法国亿万富翁弗朗索瓦-亨利•皮诺特承诺为重建大教堂提供1亿欧元资金(合8620万英镑)。

In a statement sent the CEO of the Kering group, which owns Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent fashion houses, said the money towards 'the effort necessary to completely rebuild Notre Dame' would be paid by the Pinault family's investment firm Artemis.

开云集团首席执行长在一份声明中说，重建圣母大学所需的资金将由皮诺特家族的投资公司Artemis支付。开云集团拥有古驰和伊夫•圣罗兰两家时装公司。

The cathedral is one of Europe's most-visited landmarks, and as Holy Week got underway yesterday, thousands of tourists were in the vicinity and were joined by locals who spilled open-mouthed onto the streets to watch the disaster unfolding.

大教堂是欧洲游客最多的地标性建筑之一，昨天是圣周的第一天，数千名游客聚集在附近，当地人也张大了嘴巴，站在街上眼睁睁地看着灾难的发生。

'Notre-Dame survived all the wars, all the bombardments. We never thought it could burn. I feel incredibly sad and empty,' Stephane Seigneurie, a consultant who joined other shocked onlookers in a solemn rendition of 'Ave Maria' as they watched the fire from a nearby bridge.

“圣母院经受住了所有的战争和轰炸。我们从没想过它会被烧毁。我感到难以置信的悲伤和空虚。”Stephane Seigneurie和其他震惊的旁观者在附近的桥上观看大火，一起庄严地唱起“圣母玛利亚”。

The cathedral, one the finest example of French Gothic architecture in Europe, is located at the centre of the French capital in the Middle Ages and its construction was completed in the mid-14th century after some 200 years of work.

大教堂位于中世纪法国首都的中心，是欧洲哥特式建筑的精品，历时200多年于14世纪中叶建成。

During the French Revolution in the 18th century, the cathedral was vandalised in widespread anti-Catholic violence. Its spire was dismantled, its treasures plundered and its large statues at the grand entrance doors destroyed.

18世纪的法国大革命期间，这座大教堂在大规模的反天主教暴力中遭到破坏。教堂塔尖被拆除，财宝被掠夺，大门前的巨大雕像被毁。

It would go on to feature as a central character in a Victor Hugo novel published in 1831, 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' and shortly afterwards a restoration project lasting two decades got under way, led by architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc.

1831年维克多·雨果出版了小说《巴黎圣母院》，此后不久，建筑师尤金·维奥莱特-勒杜克带头的一项历时20年的修复工程就此开始。

The building survived the devastation of two global conflicts in the 20th century and famously rang its bells on August 24, 1944, the day of the Liberation of Paris from German occupation at the end of the World War II.

这座建筑在20世纪的两次全球战火中幸存下来，并在1944年8月24日，巴黎在二战末期从德国占领下解放独立之日，敲响了著名的钟声。

Before yesterday's blaze it was in the midst of renovations, with some sections under scaffolding, and bronze statues had been removed last week for works.

在昨天的大火发生之前，它正在进行翻修，有些建筑体覆盖在脚手架下，为了施工，铜像在上周被移走了。

Its 330ft-long roof, of which a large section was consumed in the first hour of the blaze, was one of the oldest such structures in Paris.

高达330英尺的屋顶是巴黎最古老的建筑之一，在大火开始后的一个小时内，屋顶的大部分被烧毁。

Notre Dame is gravely damaged. Yet its most spectacular features – the 850-year-old twin towers – are still there. For centuries, these were the highest structures in Paris until the Eiffel Tower came along. To this day, they are instantly recognisable the world over.

圣母院严重受损。但它最壮观的具有850年历史的双子塔，仍然伫立在那里。几个世纪以来，这两座塔一直都是巴黎最高的建筑，直到埃菲尔铁塔建成。

Within hours, speculation was rife as to the cause of the fire. For now, it seems that it was what one official called a 'stray flame' – linked to a £5 million restoration project – which sparked the inferno.

人们纷纷猜测起火原因。目前看来，可能是某名官员所说的“喷溅的火星”引发了这场大火—而这与一项耗资500万英镑的修复工程有关。

Experts have warned for years that the cathedral has been in a poor condition, with the French state reluctant to fund renovation work in recent decades.

多年来，专家们一直警告说，这座大教堂现状不佳，法国政府近几十年来不愿拨款进行修缮。

Experts said that the building needed a £129.5million (€150million) restoration, but the state had only offered €40million.

专家表示，该建筑需要1.295亿英镑(1.5亿欧元)的经费，但法国只拨款了4000万欧元。

Firefighters, police, and churchmen risked their lives last night to carry priceless historical artefacts and religious relics away from the flames which engulfed Notre Dame de Paris.

昨晚，消防队员、警察和教堂工作人员冒着生命危险，从吞噬巴黎圣母院的大火中救出了价值连城的历史文物和宗教遗物。

'Centuries of art and history destroyed before our eyes. This building has stood since the Middle Ages. This is absolutely devastating,' one Twitter user wrote.

网友发推文写道：“历经了几个世纪之久的艺术和历史在我们眼前毁损了。这座建筑物自中世纪以来就一直矗立在这里。这绝对是毁灭性的。”

They've rebuilt Abbeys and Cathedrals that's been in worse condition after a fire, Selby Abbey was completely gutted by fire, Ypres was completely rebuilt after WW1, York Minster when a section of that burnt down and so on. Yes alot of medieval architecture will be lost or have to be repaired, its just another chapter in the buildings history and not a happy one

他们重建了修道院和大教堂，这些修道院在火灾后情况更糟，塞尔比修道院完全被大火烧毁，伊普尔修道院在一战后完全重建，约克大教堂的一部分被烧毁，等等。是的，很多中世纪的建筑会败落或不得不修复，这只是建筑史上的又一个篇章，虽然并不是一个愉快的篇章。

Windsor Castle fire was a warning to the keepers of all historic buildings about fire management, yet the lesson has been largely ignored around the world. Curators of such important buildings have a duty to protect them at all costs, because these historic structures can be replicated but never regained.

温莎城堡火灾是对所有历史建筑的管理员的关于火灾管理的一个警告，然而这个教训在世界范围内基本上被忽视了。这些重要建筑的管理者有责任不惜一切代价保护它们，因为这些历史建筑可以复制，但永远无法恢复。
