2021考研英語雙語閱讀材料賞析：消失了23年的名畫
A painting found stashed inside a wall at an Italianmuseum has been confirmed as the stolen ＂Portraitof a Lady＂ by Austria＇s Gustav Klimt， prosecutorssaid on Friday， two decades after the artwork wentmissing.
周五有檢察官說，一幅畫被發(fā)現(xiàn)藏在意大利一博物館墻里，經(jīng)證實(shí)是被盜的奧地利的古斯塔夫·克林姆特所畫的《一個女人的肖像》，這幅藝術(shù)品失蹤20年了。
The century-old painting was discovered concealedin an external wall by gardeners at the Ricci OddiGallery of Modern Art in Piacenza， northeast Italy， last month.
上個月這幅百年老畫被園丁發(fā)現(xiàn)藏在意大利東北部皮亞琴察的里奇·奧迪現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)館外墻里。
The museum estimates that the 55-by-65-centimetre （21-by-26-inch） expressionist work couldbe worth between 60 and 100 million euros （US$67-111 million）， but notes the difficulty inestimating the work as it has never been sold on the market.
該博物館說這幅55*65厘米（21*26英寸）的表現(xiàn)主義作品的估價可能在6000萬至1億歐元（6700萬至1.11億美元）之間，但很難確定，因?yàn)檫@幅畫從未在市場上出售過。
＂It is with no small emotion that I can tell you the work is authentic，＂ prosecutor Ornella Chiccatold reporters.
檢察官Ornella Chicca告訴記者：“我可以毫不夸張地告訴你，這幅作品是真跡。”
Museum officials had initially said they could not immediately determine whether the paintingwas indeed the stolen Klimt until scientific tests were undertaken.
博物館的工作人員最開始說他們不能立刻確定這幅畫是否就是被偷的克林姆特的畫，需要先進(jìn)行科學(xué)檢測。
Painted in 1916-1917， the expressionist work depicts the face and torso of a young woman withbrown hair， over an emerald green background.
這幅表現(xiàn)主義作品的創(chuàng)作時間是1916年至1917年，刻畫的是一個棕發(fā)年輕女孩的臉和身體，背景是翠綠色的。
The painting went missing in February 1997 while the museum was closed for work.
1997年2月份博物館因工作原因關(guān)閉，這幅畫就失蹤了。
In December， gardeners removing ivy from a wall found a small ventilation space anddiscovered the painting inside， without a frame and wrapped in a black garbage bag.
12月份園丁在修剪墻上的常春藤時發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個小的通風(fēng)口，在里面找到了這幅畫，沒有框，包在黑色垃圾袋里。
The ivy covering the space had not been cut back for almost a decade.
常春藤蓋住了通風(fēng)口，差不多有十年沒修剪了。
Chicca said further tests would determine whether the painting had been lingering inside thewall space since it was stolen， or whether it had been hidden there at a later date.
