文物的真正价值只能在其原属国而非其他任何地方得到认可。

Simply, there are people in Nigeria who cannot travel to the Smithsonian Institution to see that part of their history and culture represented by the Benin Bronzes. These should be available to them as part of their cultural heritage and history and as a source of national pride. There is no good reason that these artifacts should be beyond the ordinary reach of the educational objectives or inspiration of the generations to which they were left. They serve no purpose in a museum in the United States or elsewhere except as curious objects. They cannot be compared to works of art produced for sale which can be passed from hand to hand and place to place by purchase. ,Smithsonian InstitutionBenin Bronzes

分历史和文化。这些文物应当作为他们文化遗产和历史的一部分以及民族自豪感的来源而为他们所用。没有充分的理由让这些文物超出其所留给的世世代代的教育目标或灵感启发的通常可及范围。这些文物在美国或其他地方的博物馆中除了作为奇特物品外别无用处。它们不能与为出售而创作的艺术品相提并论,后者可以通过购买在不同的人和地方之间流转。

在原件归还后,博物馆参观者仍然可以从文物的复制品中学到同样多的东西。

第 4 段

We know very exact reproductions of artwork can be and are regularly produced. Perhaps museums and governments might explore some role for the use of nearly exact reproductions as a means of resolving issues relating to returning works of art and antiquities. The context of any exhibit is more important to me than whether the object being displayed is 2,000 years old or 2 months old. In many cases the experts have a hard time agreeing on what is the real object and what is a forgery. Again, the story an exhibit is trying to tell is what matters. The monetary value of the objects on display is a distant second place in importance.

我们知道艺术品的精确复制品可以被制作出来,而且是定期制作的。也许博物馆和政府可以探索使用几乎完全精确的复制品作为解决归还艺术品和文物相关问题的某种方式。对我来说,任何展览的背景比展出物品是2000年前还是2个月前的更重要。在许多情况下,专家们很难就什么是真品、什么是赝品达成一致。再说一次,展览试图讲述的故事才是重要的。展出物品的货币价值其重要性远远居于第二位。

从其他国家获取文物的方式必须是得体和合法的。

第 6 段

When visiting the Baltimore Museum of Art, I came across a magnificent 15th-century Chinese sculpture. It inspired me to learn more about the culture that it represented. Artifacts in museums have the power to inspire, and perhaps spark that need to learn and understand the nature of their creators. Having said that, I do feel that whatever artifacts find their way to public museums should, in fact, be sanctioned as having been obtained on loan, legally purchased, or obtained by treaty. Stealing artifacts from other peoples' cultures is obscene; it robs not only the physical objects, but the dignity and spirit of their creators.

在参观Baltimore Museum of Art时,我偶然看到一件宏伟的15世纪中国雕塑。它激发了我去更多地了解它所代表的文化。博物馆中的文物有激发灵感的力量,或许能激发那种学习和理解其创造者本质的需求。话虽如此,我确实认为无论什么文物进入公共博物馆,事实上都应当被认可为是通过借展、合法购买或条约获得的。从其他民族文化中偷窃文物是可耻的;它不仅掠夺了实物,还掠夺了其创造者的尊严和精神。

对安全的担忧不是拒绝将文物归还其原属国的借口。

第 8 段

Ancient art that is displayed in foreign countries by all means should be returned to the original country. The foreign countries have no right to hold back returning the items. I would ask that the foreign nations and the original country discuss the terms of transfer. Yes, there is the risk that the original country will not have as good security as do the foreign countries. But look at what happened to Boston's Gardner Museum theft in 1990, including the loss of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Manet, and other masterpieces. Nothing is absolutely safe, anywhere. And now Climate Change agitators are attacking publicly displayed works in European museums.

在外国展出的古代艺术品无论如何都应当归还原属国。外国没有权利阻止归还这些物品。我希望外国和原属国讨论移交的条款。是的,原属国可能不会拥有像外国那样好的安全保障。但看看1990年波士顿地方的任何东西是绝对安全的。而现在气候变化激进分子正在攻击欧洲博物馆公开展出的作品。

反对将文物归还其原属国的推理是有缺陷的。

第 10 段

To those of you in the comments section who are having strong feelings about artifacts being removed from cities in the U.S. and Britain and returned to their countries of origin, I would ask you to consider why do you think Americans have more of a right to easily access the Benin Bronzes than the people of Nigeria? Why are people who live within a day's drive of London entitled to go and see the Elgin Marbles whenever they want, but the people of Athens aren't? What intrinsic factors make the West a suitable home for these artifacts but preclude them from being preserved and displayed by their countries of origin? If your conclusion is that the West is better able to preserve these artifacts, think about why you're assuming that to be true.

对于评论区那些对文物从美国和英国的城市被移除并归还其原属国有强烈感受的人,我想请你们考虑一下为什么你们认为美国人比尼日利亚人民更有权利轻松接触Benin Bronzes?为什么住在伦敦一天车程内的人有资格随时去看Elgin Marbles,而雅典人民却不能?是什么内在因素使西方成为这些文物的合适归宿,却排除了它们被原属国保存和展示的可能性?如果你的结论是西方更有能力保存这些文物,想想你为什么会假设这是真的。
