HEALDSBURG, Calif. — Authorities in Northern California are looking for a hammer. A really, really big one.
加利福尼亚希尔兹堡—北加州当局正在寻找一把锤子。一把非常非常大的锤子。
The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat says police in Healdsburg in California’s wine country are looking for an enormous artwork that vanished over the weekend.
《圣罗莎民主党人报》说,加州的警方正在寻找希尔兹堡酒庄周末消失的一件巨大艺术品。
The artwork was an 800-pound ball-peen hammer made of metal with a long redwood handle. The hammer measures 21 feet long and the head is 6 feet tall.
这件艺术品是一把重达800磅的圆头金属锤子,锤柄为红木制成。锤子长21英尺,锤头高6英尺。
The piece, valued at $15,000, was loaned by the artist about a year ago to the Healdsburg Community Center. It vanished from the lawn sometime Friday night or Saturday morning.
这件作品价值1.5万美元,希尔兹堡社区中心大约一年前从作家那里借来。周五晚上或周六早上的某个时候它从草坪上消失了。
The artist, Doug Unkrey, says it would have required about eight people or a flatbed trailer with a winch to carry off his work.
艺术家道格.昂克里说,要弄走他的这件作品,大概需要八个人或一辆带绞车的平板拖车。
Police, of course, want to nail the thieves.
警察当然想抓住这些小偷。
