Sri Lanka Abandons Giant Christmas Tree Project
斯里蘭卡放棄建造巨大圣誕樹的項目
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.
一項建造由廢料制成的巨大圣誕樹的工程被遺棄在科倫坡的海邊上。科倫坡天主教教堂的主教對組織者提出批判以后，這項工程就停了下來，主教認為最好把建造圣誕樹的金錢用在慈善上。該工程已經開工了三個月，一半基金已被花掉。這棵為了象征和平和宗教和諧的圣誕樹原計劃在圣誕節前夕亮相。組織者和志愿者，包括佛教徒、印度教徒、穆斯林和基督徒，本希望憑借它贏得吉尼斯世界紀錄——世界上最高的圣誕樹。
