The Statue of Liberty then and now
自由女神雕像今昔对比






伸出一只手 Lending a hand
自由女神像是法国人送给美国人的礼物，它在其最初几年还起到灯塔的作用-是由弗雷德里克奥古斯特巴托尔蒂设计的。然而，建造自由女神像底座和高台的钱还是来自美国人的口袋，报纸出版商约瑟夫普利策就是最热情的参加筹款活动中的一员。这张图片可以看到，在1876年，费城百年博览会上展出的自由女神像前臂和火炬的雕像。市民可支付50美分，上升到火炬的观景台。
A gift from France, the Statue of Liberty -- which also served as a lighthouse in its early years -- was designed by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi. The money for the base and pedestal, however, came from American pockets,with newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer among the most passionate in raising funds. In this picture, the forearm and torch of the statue is seen on display at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. The public could pay fifty cents to climb to the balcony of the torch.

自由女神背后的男人 Men behind the monument
这两张照片摄于1880年左右，照片中的人物是自由女神像的两位重要设计者：法国雕塑家弗雷德里克·奥古斯特· 巴托尔迪和法国工程师亚历山大·居斯塔夫·埃菲尔，后者还是巴黎埃菲尔铁塔的设计者，他负责自由女神像的内部结构，整个结构外面包着一层铜片。
Taken circa 1880, these pictures show the two great minds behind the Statue of Liberty: sculptor Auguste Bartholdi (right), and French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. The latter, the man behind the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was responsible for the statue's internal structure, around which was wrapped the sculpted copper cladding.

修复皇冠 Crown repaired
1939年世界博览会举行前，高空作业工人将皇冠从自由女神像头部取下进行修复。本届世博会吸引了七大洲的数十万人前来参观，而自由女神像的冠冕恰恰有象征世界七大洲的七道尖芒。

金色岁月 Golden days
在一首名为《新巨人》的诗中，女诗人爱玛·拉扎鲁斯（Emma Lazarus）写道：“她那灯塔一样的手臂哟，把炽热的呼唤送给世界各地。”这首诗如今雕刻于自由女神像里面。这张照片摄于1985年，法国修复小组成员罗伯特·格哈德正给雕像的新火炬进行收尾工作。
"From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome," Emma Lazarus wrote in a poem now engraved inside the monument. In this 1985 picture, Robert Gohard, a member of a French restoration team, puts finishing touches of gilding on the statue's new torch.
