A rare pink diamond has fetched 50.3m Swiss francs at auction, a record price per carat.

　　一枚罕见的粉红钻石在拍卖会上以5030万瑞士法郎的价格成交，创下了克拉单价的纪录。

　　Pink Legacy, weighing in at just under 19 carats, was bought by US brand Harry Winston at auction in Geneva.

　　这枚钻石名为“粉红色的遗产”，重量差不多19克拉，由美国钻石品牌哈利·温斯顿(Harry Winston)在日内瓦拍卖会上购得。

　　The price of around USD 2.6m per carat marked a world record for a pink diamond, according to the Europe head of auction house Christie’s.

　　据佳士得拍卖欧洲总部行称，该钻石每克拉约260万美元的价格创下了粉红钻石的世界纪录。

　　It had been valued at between USD 30-50m before sale, and was bought after only five minutes of bidding.

　　它的标价在3000万至5000万美元之间，在竞标仅五分钟的后就被购买。

　　The diamond’s new owners have rechristened it the Winston Pink Legacy.

　　钻石的新主人将其重新命名为“温斯顿粉红色的遗产”。

　　Once owned by the Oppenheimer family, who formerly ran the De Beers mining company, the diamond was referred to as "one of the world’s greatest diamonds" by Christie’s international head of jewellery, Rahul Kadakia.

　　曾经为奥本海默(Oppenheimer)家族所有——该家族曾经运营戴比尔斯(De Beers)矿业公司，该钻石被佳士得国际珠宝首饰负责人Rahul Kadakia称为“世界上最伟大的钻石之一”。

　　"You may see this colour in a pink diamond of less than one carat," Mr Kadakia said. "But this is almost 19 carats and it’s as pink as can be. It’s unbelievable."

　　“你也许见过不到一克拉的粉红色钻石，”Kadakia先生说。 “但这枚差不多19克拉，粉红无比。这真是令人难以置信。”

　　It was graded as "fancy vivid" - the highest level of colour intensity.

　　它的颜色被评为最高级别的强度色——“花哨生动”。

　　The rectangular-cut stone was found in a South African mine around 100 years ago and has likely not been altered since it was first cut in 1920, Christie’s said.

　　佳士得说，这块长方形切割的石头大约在100年前在一个南非的矿井中被发现，并且自1920年首次切割以来可能没有被改变过。

　　Finding a fancy vivid pink diamond larger than 10 carats is virtually unheard of, the auction house said.

　　拍卖行说，要找到一颗大于10克拉的鲜艳粉红色钻石几乎是闻所未闻的。

　　The auction price of the Pink Legacy diamond, sold at Christie’s annual Magnificent Jewels auction, beat the previous record price-per-carat.

　　在佳士得一年一度的“壮丽珠宝”拍卖会上出售的这枚“粉红色的遗产”钻石的拍卖价格打破此前创纪录的克拉单价，创下新纪录。
