01 Introduction 当地时间2019年4月15日下午6点50分左右，法国巴黎圣母院发生火灾，整座建 筑损毁严重。着火位置位于圣母院顶部塔楼，大火迅速将圣母院塔楼的尖顶吞噬，很 快，尖顶如被拦腰折断一般倒下。 本文节选自：The Guardian（2019.04.17） Notre dame restoration： how to save an iconic building from fire On Monday night, David watched in horror as the 850-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burned. But he remains optimistic that the building can be brought back to its former glory. “The roof’s completely gone and there is damage to the vaulting, which does concern me, but the rest of it is repairable,”he said.“There are people who can do it.” According to Prof Stefan Holzer, from the building archaeology and construction history group at the ETH Zürich university, the first priority needs to be the installation of a temporary roof to prevent fur‐ ther damage from“atmospheric influences”such as rain. He said scaffolding should be erected inside the building to check that the structure was secure. It is possible that water used to extinguish the fire has caused damage to plaster, masonry and furnishings, while the high temperatures during the fire may have made the stone work less solid. Of particular worry at Notre Dame were the rose windows, three immense round stained-glass win‐ dows that date back to the 13th century. On Tuesday afternoon, they were reported as saved. 周一晚上，大卫惊恐地看着有着850年历史的巴黎圣母院大教堂被烧毁。但他仍然乐观地认 为，这座建筑能够恢复昔日的辉煌。 他说:“屋顶完全没了，拱顶也有损坏，这确实让我感到担心，但其余部分是可以修复的。”“有人 能修。” 苏黎世联邦理工学院建筑考古与建筑史小组的斯蒂芬·霍尔泽教授表示，当务之急是安装一个 临时屋顶，以防止雨水等“大气影响”造成进一步的破坏。 他说，应该在建筑内部架设脚手架，以检查结构是否安全。用于灭火的水可能对灰泥、砖石和室 巴黎圣母院的重建： 如何在大火后挽救这个标志性建筑 Translation 第一篇 1 英语外刊阅读 内陈设造成了破坏，而火灾期间的高温可能使石头的硬度降低。 尤其令人担忧的是巴黎圣母院的玫瑰窗，这三扇巨大的圆形彩绘玻璃窗可以追溯到13世纪。 周二下午，据报道它们被救下来了。 1.Notre Dame Cathedral 巴黎圣母院 2.vaulting英 ['vɔːltɪŋ] 美 ['vɔltɪŋ] adj. 夸大的；跳跃的 n. 拱顶结构；跳跃 v. 给…盖以拱顶；作成穹形；跳跃（vault的 ing形式） 3. archaeology英 [,ɑːkɪ'ɒlədʒɪ] 美 [,ɑrkɪ'ɑlədʒi] n. 考古学 adj. 考古学的 4.atmospheric英 [ætməs'ferɪk] 美 [,ætməs'fɛrɪk] adj. 大气的，大气层的 5.scaffolding英 ['skæfəʊldɪŋ; -f(ə)ld-] 美 ['skæfəldɪŋ] n. 脚手架；搭脚手架的材料 6. plaster英 ['plɑːstə] 美 ['pl
