敏感时期：在加州首府议会内矗立137年，你与之曾经合影的哥伦布向女王求爱雕像就被拆除了！（视频：哥伦布殖民历史）
（FOX NEWS）Top California legislators on Tuesday said that the statue of Christopher Columbus in the state's Capitol building, which has been there since 1883, would be removed because the 15th-century explorer is a "deeply polarizing historical figure."
加州最高立法委员周二表示，自1883年就在加州议会大厦矗立的克里斯托弗·哥伦布(Christopher Columbus)雕像将被移除，因为这位15世纪的探险家是一位“极具争议的历史人物”。
State Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Assembly Rules Committee chair Ken Cooley announced the statue's removal in a statement Tuesday, joining a number of states and localities around the country removing monuments of historical figures, including those associated with the Confederacy, in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
州参议院主席当时托尼·阿特金斯,议会议长安东尼·瑞和装配规则委员会主席肯·厄尔塑像搬移宣布周二在一份声明中,加入很多州和全国各地的地方移除纪念碑的历史数据,包括那些与南部邦联,死后,乔治·弗洛伊德。
"Christopher Columbus is deeply polarizing given the deadly impact his arrival in this hemisphere had on indigenous populations," the statement read. "The continued presence of the statue in California’s Capitol, where it has been since 1883, is completely out of place today. It will be removed."
声明中写道:“克里斯托弗·哥伦布到达这个半球对土著居民造成了致命的影响，这让人们对他的看法两极分化。”自1883年起，这座雕像就一直矗立在加州的国会大厦里，如今，它的存在已经完全不合时宜了。它将被移除。”
Cooley, Rendon and Atkins are all Democrats. Many on the left side of the political spectrum in recent years have also sought to erase Columbus Day, a federal holiday in October that was enacted in 1968 in celebration of Columbus' 1492 journey to the New World, in favor of "Indigenous Peoples' Day."
Cooley, Rendon和Atkins都是民主党人。近年来，许多左翼政治人士也在寻求取消哥伦布日(Columbus Day)，这是1968年为庆祝哥伦布1492年的新大陆之旅而在10月设立的联邦假日，以支持“土著人民日”。
It has been officially recognized in liberal locales across the country, including Washington D.C., which is named in honor of first President George Washington and Columbus.
它已经在全国各地的自由地区得到了官方承认，包括以第一任总统乔治·华盛顿和哥伦布的名字命名的华盛顿特区。
It is unclear how or when California will remove the statue, which is located in its Capitol rotunda, but when it does come down the state will join Kentucky and Virginia, which removed statues of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Confederate General Robert E. Lee, respectively, in taking recent action to get rid of likenesses of historical figures amid the unrest following Floyd's death in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department.
目前尚不清楚如何或何时加利福尼亚将删除雕像,位于国会大厦圆形大厅,但当它下来国家将加入肯塔基州和维吉尼亚州,移除雕像的南部邦联总统杰斐逊。戴维斯和南方Robert e . Lee将军,最近分别采取行动摆脱历史人物在动荡的相似性弗洛伊德死后在明尼阿波利斯市警察局的监护权。
The statue in California’s Capitol depicts Columbus appealing to Queen Isabella I, who financed his voyage to the New World in 1492 that began an era of colonialism in the Americas. The statue was a gift from Darius Ogden Mills, a banker who had advocated for California’s Capitol to be built in Sacramento.
这座位于加州国会大厦的雕像描绘了哥伦布向伊莎贝拉一世女王求爱的场景。伊莎贝拉一世资助哥伦布于1492年前往新大陆，开启了美洲的殖民时代。这座雕像是银行家达留斯·奥格登·米尔斯(Darius Ogden Mills)送给他的礼物，他曾主张在萨克拉门托修建加州议会大厦。
Critics of tributes to Columbus, whether in statues or holidays, cite the fact Columbus enslaved Native Americans and played a part in introducing European diseases that Native Americans were not immune to into the New World, devastating populations.
批评人士称，无论是在雕像上还是在节日上，哥伦布都曾奴役美洲原住民，并在将美洲原住民无法免疫的欧洲疾病传入新大陆的过程中发挥了作用，造成了美洲人口的毁灭性打击。
Those who support keeping statues associated with Columbus and the Confederacy equate their removal to erasing history, which can be learned from, even if the lessons are complex.
那些支持保留与哥伦布和邦联有关的雕像的人认为，拆除这些雕像就是抹去历史，我们可以从中吸取教训，尽管教训很复杂。
