【課文】

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

作為世界上最著名的紀(jì)念碑之一，自由女神像于19世紀(jì)由法國(guó)人民贈(zèng)送給美國(guó)的。這座宏偉的雕像由雕塑家?jiàn)W古斯特·巴托爾迪（Auguste Bartholdi）設(shè)計(jì)，耗時(shí)十年完成。雕像的實(shí)際主體部分由銅制成，并由埃菲爾（Eiffel）專門設(shè)計(jì)建造的金屬框架支撐。在將其運(yùn)往美國(guó)之前，需要先選定一個(gè)安放地點(diǎn)并建造一個(gè)基座。最終選定的地點(diǎn)是紐約港入口處的一座小島。到1884年，一座高達(dá)151英尺的雕像已在巴黎豎立起來(lái)。次年，雕像被拆解運(yùn)往美國(guó)。到1886年10月底，雕像已重新組裝完畢，并由巴托爾迪正式贈(zèng)予美國(guó)人民。自那時(shí)起，這座偉大的紀(jì)念碑便成為自由的象征，激勵(lì)著數(shù)以百萬(wàn)計(jì)經(jīng)由紐約港來(lái)到美國(guó)安家的人們。
