Lesson93 A noble gift
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.

Auguste Bartholdi
1834年巴特勒迪出生于法国阿尔萨斯,在法国国立工艺学院学习建筑和绘画,自由女神像是因为美国摆脱英国独立而由英国的宿敌法国送给美国的。巴特勒迪塑造自由女神像时据说是依照自己母亲的面容。由设计埃菲尔铁塔的法国建筑师爱菲尔设计内部支撑铁架和整个支撑结构。巴特勒迪为了安置女神像,亲自到美国选择地点。由美国人集资建造塔座。整个铜像分成350块,装了214个包装箱用船运到美国。原型树立在巴黎塞纳河畔正对着爱菲尔铁塔。
