熊孩子! 臺灣12歲男孩跌倒壓壞世界名畫!

A 12-year-old in Taiwan lived out many museum-goers' nightmare (and many parents') when he tripped and caught his balance by punching a hole in an oil painting that is over 300 years old and valued at $1.5 million.

許多博物館迷（和家長）們的噩夢真切地發生了。一個來自臺灣的12歲男孩在看展時腳下一絆，爲了保持平衡，他在一幅油畫上捅了個拳頭大小的窟窿。這幅油畫有300年曆史，估值150萬美元。

The video of the mishap is mostly uneventful. The boy, carrying something that looks like a canned drink, is taking a casual stroll through the exhibition when he stumbles and falls into the painting.

從監控拍到的視頻來看，意外發生時並沒有引起人們的注意。當時男孩手裏拿着罐裝飲料狀的東西，本在悠閒地踱步看展，突然間失去平衡跌向了那幅畫作。

Then he catches his balance and quickly looks behind him to see if anyone saw him fall.

重新站穩後，他迅速瞄了眼身後，觀察周圍有沒有人注意到他。

He left a fist-size hole in the right bottom corner of the canvas, Sun Chi-hsuan, a representative from the company that co-sponsored the exhibition, told reporters. He also said that the exhibition's curator had asked that the boy not be punished for damaging the painting.

展覽贊助商代表之一的孫齊軒告訴記者，男孩在畫布右下角留下了一個拳頭大小的窟窿，但策展人希望他不會因此受罰。

The work, "Flowers," is by the Italian artist Paolo Porpora, who specialized in Baroque-style paintings of still-lifes. According to an art database, it is the only one of the artist's works that is signed.

這幅名爲《花》的畫作爲意大利藝術家保羅·波爾波拉所繪，波爾波拉擅長巴洛克風格的靜物描繪。一個藝術品數據庫的資料顯示，它是藝術家簽過名的唯一一幅作品。

The boy, who by the mercy of the Internet gods has not yet been identified, joins an elite group of art patrons who have damaged expensive works. The most famous is probably the billionaire Steve Wynn, who once put his elbow through Picasso's "Le Reve." In the end, it was repaired and sold to another billionaire for $155 million.

網友們手下留情，肇事的男孩目前還沒有被"人肉"出來，他也不是唯一一個損壞了昂貴畫作的馬大哈。在這個名畫殺手俱樂部裏，最有名的要數億萬富翁史蒂夫·韋恩，他的手肘捅破了畢加索的畫作《夢》。畫作被修復後以1.55億美元的價格賣給了另一個億萬富翁。

Perhaps "Flowers" will have a similar happy ending: A restoration specialist is already at work on repairing the painting, according to The Guardian.

也許《花》也將得以善終：據英國《衛報》消息，專家已經着手進行修復。
