新奇事件簿 人类孕育之旅雕塑在卡塔尔揭幕（在线收听）

A new artwork has been unveiled in Doha, Qatar. The new artwork was created by the British artist Damien Hirst. He is famous for his art installations that include dead sharks and cows in clear plastic boxes. His new modern-art work is called The Miraculous Journey. It consists of 14 giant bronze sculptures that show the beginning of human life from conception to birth. The first exhibit shows a human sperm entering an egg. The sculptures progress from the egg producing an embryo, which then turns into a fetus in a giant womb. The final sculpture is of a newborn baby. The very detailed exhibits are between 5 and 14 meters high. They have been installed in front of a women's healthcare center in Qatar.

一件新艺术品在卡塔尔多哈揭幕。这件新艺术品的作者是英国艺术家达明安·赫斯特。他以艺术装饰而出名，作品包括透明塑料箱中摆放死鲨鱼和牛。他的新现代艺术作品名为奇迹之旅。该作品包括14座巨大的青铜雕塑，展现了人类生命的开端，从孕育到出生。第一个展品展现了一颗人类精子进入一颗卵子。这些雕塑从卵子发育成胚胎，然后变成一个巨大子宫中的一个胎儿。最后一个雕塑是一个新生儿。这些细节精致的展品高约5至14米。它们被安置在卡塔尔一家女性保健中心门前。

Not everyone is happy with the sculptures. They are very controversial in Qatar. Layla Ibrahim, a Qatari art specialist, said: "They are not meant to be decorative, they are meant to create debates. We are not expecting everyone to like them [or] understand them." She added: "We believe it reflects the hospital's mission of taking care of the healthcare of women and babies." Mr Hirst said: "Culturally, it's the first naked sculpture in the Middle East. It's very brave." He added: "The journey a baby goes through before birth is bigger than anything it will experience in its human life. I hope the sculpture will instill in the viewer a sense of awe and wonder at this extraordinary human process."

并不是所有人都喜欢这些雕塑。它们在卡塔尔备受争议。卡塔尔艺术专家蕾拉·易卜拉欣表示：“它们不是装饰品，它们本就是要引发争论。我们并不期待所有人都喜欢或理解它们。”她还说：“我们认为这反应了医院呵护女性和婴儿健康的使命。”赫斯特说：“从文化上来看，这是中东地区首件祼露的雕塑，这非常勇敢。”他还表示：“婴儿在出生之前经历的旅程比人生中将经历的任何事情都重大。我希望这些雕塑将给观赏者灌输一种对这段非凡人类进程的敬畏感和求知欲。”
