英国不列颠博物馆所藏古希腊大理石雕刻

A museum has opened in Athens with a special gallery for the Elgin Marbles, Greek sculptures which have been in the British Museum in London for nearly 200 years and are still there.

雅典博物馆开幕为英国不列颠博物馆所藏古希腊大理石雕刻举行了特别的画展，这个希腊雕塑品在伦敦英国博物馆躺了将近200年，至今还在那里。

Dashing any hope that the Elgin Marbles would be returned to Greece for the Olympics, the Greek government recently announced that the Acropolis Museum, designed by Bernard Tschumi, would not be ready in time for the August games.

在英国不列颠博物馆所藏的古希腊大理石雕刻不会为奥运会而返回希腊的情况下，希腊政府最近宣布了：由Bernard Tschumi所设计卫城博物馆将无法为这个八月盛典而做好准备。

就算没有英国不列颠博物馆所藏古希腊大理石雕刻，新博物馆也是值得期待，在超现代感建筑物夺得永远壮观的古雅典。
