Sri Lanka Abandons Giant Christmas Tree Project
斯里兰卡放弃建造巨大圣诞树的项目
Construction of a massive Christmas tree made out of scrap material has been abandoned on a beachfront in Colombo. The project came to a halt after the archbishop of Colombo's Catholic church criticized organizers, saying that the money would be better spent on charity. The project was already three months underway, and half of the funds had already been spent. The tree, which was designed to symbolize peace and religious harmony, was supposed to be unveiled on Christmas Eve. Organizers and volunteers, including Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, were hoping to win a Guinness World Record for the world's tallest Christmas tree.
一项建造由废料制成的巨大圣诞树的工程被遗弃在科伦坡的海边上。科伦坡天主教教堂的主教对组织者提出批判以后，这项工程就停了下来，主教认为最好把建造圣诞树的金钱用在慈善上。该工程已经开工了三个月，一半基金已被花掉。这棵为了象征和平和宗教和谐的圣诞树原计划在圣诞节前夕亮相。组织者和志愿者，包括佛教徒、印度教徒、穆斯林和基督徒，本希望凭借它赢得吉尼斯世界纪录——世界上最高的圣诞树。
