Less Leaning Tower of Pisa
意比薩斜塔被'美白矯正'
The Leaning Tower of Pisa has been returned to its former glory after an 8-year restoration project in which it was cleaned and partially straightened, the Daily Telegraph of London reported Monday. Workers used chisels and hi-tech laser technology to scrub grime from the more than 24,000 blocks of stone that make up the 183ft (55.8m) tall tower. The world famous monument has also had its famous tilt partially corrected after engineers managed to straighten it by 18 inches (45.7cm) from the vertical, returning it to its position in 1838.(See photo)
據英國《每日電訊報》13日報道，經過歷時8年的"美白"和"矯正"工程，意大利比薩斜塔恢復了昔日風貌。比薩斜塔高183英尺(55.8米)，由超過2.4萬石塊建造而成，修繕者使用鑿子和高科技激光技術擦洗表面污垢。工程師還對比薩斜塔進行了部分"矯正"工程，使其縱向回歸18英寸(45.7厘米)，恢復了1838年的位置。(見圖)
