An image of Jesus Christ on the cross has been “seen” in a telephone pole covered in vines next to a motorway in Louisiana. 美国北卡罗来纳州金斯顿一根爬满葛藤的电线杆因酷似耶稣被钉十字架的形象而爆红。
The resemblance was reported by drivers on Highway 26 in rural Jeff Davis parish. 这幅景象是Jeff Davis教区乡下26号高速公路的司机们发现的。
One of them, Rickey Navarre, told US television station KPLC: “It just caught my eye. I said to myself that sure looks like an image of Jesus hanging from the telephone pole.其中一位名叫Rickey Navarre的司机告诉美国KPLC电视台:“它吸引了我的目光。我对自己说这个真的很像耶稣被钉在十字架上的形象。”
“He might just be telling us something, you know, 'I’m looking over you, I’m going to answer your prayers.’” Local officials were less inspired by religious fervour when they saw the pole and decided it was a safety hazard.“他可能只是在告诉人们一些事情,‘我在看着你们,准备回应你们的祈祷’。”当地官员看到这根杆子时想得更多的不是宗教意义,而是这可能是个安全隐患。
They said the vines were close to high voltage wires and had already been earmarked for cutting before their potential religious significance emerged.他们说这些藤蔓太靠近高压线,在耶稣显灵之前已被标记需要砍掉。
After news of the potential symbolism of the pole came to light the officials acted even more quickly, in case someone tried to climb it to be closer to Jesus. Mike Heinen, a local electrical manager, told KPLC: “We were getting to that one but since it had such notoriety we went and cleared it up today.在该电线杆的神灵象征意义众所周知后,当地官员加进了砍伐的速度,以防止某些人试图爬上电线杆接近基督。当地电力经理Mike Heinen告诉KPLC电视台:“本来我们照计划砍伐的速度正接近这根电线杆,但因为这根电线杆目前众所周知,所以我们在今天先把这里的藤蔓清理掉了。”
“For public safety concerns we don’t want anybody trying to climb the pole or trying to touch the vines.” He said a church might be a better place to go looking for Jesus.他接着说道:“出于安全考虑,我们不希望任何人爬上这根电线杆或试图靠近藤蔓。” |
