一座毁灭赌场的交运和澳门的文化认同之争

MACAU — What will become of Lady Luck?
澳门——荣幸女神会落得个什么着力？
In 2015, officials in Macau announced that they planned to redevelop the 1962 Hotel Estoril, the former Portuguese colony’s first modern-style casino resort, which features a mosaic on its concrete facade depicting Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance.
2015年，澳门官员晓谕他们野心重建爱都货仓(Hotel Estoril)。于1962年揭幕的爱都，是这块前葡萄牙隶属国上的第一个当代立场的赌场度假村，其混凝土外立面上的马赛克壁画，呈现的是罗马荣幸女神福尔图娜(Fortuna)的形象。
But the redevelopment plan has been stalled for two years, mostly because of opposition from young activists. And the fate of the hotel has prompted an unusually acrimonious debate over which sites best represent Macau’s history and identity — and which are worth preserving amid a recent flurry of urban redevelopment projects.
但重建野心已停滞两年，主如果因为年青活动人士的反对。此外，这座货仓的交运，激勉了一场很是犀利的大相干，其主题为：哪些场面最能代表澳门的历史和身份认同——在最近掀翻的城市重建风潮中，哪些场面值得保留。
“There’s a general sentiment that Macau has changed too fast in the past 10, 15 years,” a period in which the construction of several enormous casino resorts has transformed the city’s skyline and character, said Sulu Sou, 26, the vice president of the New Macau Association, one of the civic groups that is fighting to save the Estoril and its mosaic.
“一种无数的主张是，曩昔十年或十五年里，澳门变得太快了”，在此工夫，几许广泛的赌场度假村的修建改变了澳门的天空线和特质，现年26岁的新澳门学社(New Macau Association)副理事长苏嘉豪(Sulu Sou)说。新澳门学社是为救助爱都货仓过头马赛克壁画而叛逆的公民团体之一。
The Estoril and other unprotected sites that face redevelopment in Macau “were very important in our childhood,” Mr. Sou added. “And that’s why a lot of young people feel a sense of urgency about them being lost.”
爱都以及澳门其他一些濒临重建的不受保护场面，“在咱们的童年时间极度紧要”，苏嘉豪络续说道。“正因为如斯，它们正离咱们而去的事实，让许多年青人有一种紧要感。”
The Estoril was built for Stanley Ho, the tycoon who helped make Macau, a city on the southern coast of China that returned to Chinese rule in 1999, into the world’s largest gambling market. Neither the building nor its mosaic is among Macau’s 22 officially recognized historic sites.
爱都是殷商何鸿燊出资开荒的——他匡助把澳门这座位于中国南部沿海、在1999年追忆故国的城市，酿成了宇宙上最大的博彩市集。货仓建筑自己过头马赛克壁画，都不在澳门官方招供的22处历史建筑之列。
Some prominent architects say demolishing the hotel would be just fine because they do not see much artistic or historic value in the structure, which has been abandoned since the 1990s, and has weeds and wildflowers growing in its mildewed crevices.
一些知名建筑师说，撤废爱都货仓没什么大不了，他们合计它并莫得太多艺术价值或历史价值。这座建筑从1990年代起便被毁灭，杂草和野花在发霉的裂缝里闹热孕育。
The hotel was designed by a Macau-born Portuguese architect, Alfredo Victor Jorge Álvares. The mosaic, which overlooks Tap Seac Square and Macau’s historic center, was designed by Oseo Acconci, a builder and sculptor from Italy who moved to the city in the 1940s. Mr. Acconci’s work is emblematic of Italian Futurism, an artistic movement that emphasized geometric abstraction. A local magazine described his rendering of Fortuna as “Macau’s Futurist Woman.”
爱都货仓是由降生于澳门的葡裔建筑师阿尔弗雷多·维克多·乔治·阿尔瓦雷斯(Alfredo Victor Jorge Álvares)想象的。那幅俯视塔石广场和澳门历史城区的马赛克壁画，则出舒缓1940年代移居澳门的意大利建筑师和雕镂家夏刚志(Oseo Acconci)之手。夏刚志的这件作品带有强烈的意大利将来主张立场——一种强调几何抽象的艺术派系。当地一册杂志将他塑造的福尔图娜称作“穿越女神”。
The Estoril site, which included restaurants and a municipal swimming pool, marked a transition in Macau from opium-filled gambling dens to the kind of “integrated” casino resorts that are common now, said Melody Lu, a sociology professor at the University of Macau who studies gambling in Asia.
爱都货仓建筑群——其中包括几许餐厅和一个环球泳池——是烟土泛滥的澳门赌场编削为现今常见的那种“概括性”赌场度假村的标识，澳门大学(University of Macau)研究亚洲博彩业的社会学素养吕家玟(Melody Lu)说。
Ms. Lu said some Macau residents felt an emotional connection to the Estoril because it was the “first touch of modernity” they experienced after arriving from the Chinese mainland in the years after the 1949 Communist revolution.
吕家玟说，一些澳门住户对爱都很有热枕，因为它让他们这些在1949年共产主张转变顺利后的几年间从中国大陆来到澳门的人，体验到了“第一点当代气味”。
Some younger residents have seized on the Estoril, she added, as an expression of the Chinese experience here — a heritage they argue is obscured by the attention the government pays to Macau’s colonial past.
她还暗示，年青一代市民用爱都来抒发这里的中国履历——由于政府过分温情澳门动作隶属国的过往，这份遗产被隐私了。
But the Estoril is not universally admired. A local teachers’ union, for example, has criticized the mosaic — in which Fortuna’s midriff and pelvic area are obscured, respectively, by a red shawl and a green leaf — as lewd.
但并不是每个人都观赏爱都。举例，当地的一个教师协会就月旦壁画淫邪——福尔图娜的中腹部和骨盆解决别由一条红色披巾和一派绿叶讳饰。
Alexis Tam, Macau’s secretary for social affairs and culture, told reporters in 2015 that, after meeting with educators and civic groups, he felt it would be “inappropriate” to retain the mosaic if the government carried out a plan to replace the hotel with a youth recreation center and performance spaces for the Macau Conservatory.
2015年，澳门社会文化司司长谭俊荣(Alexis Tam)曾在会见示育界人士和公民团体后告诉记者，他合计，如果政府按照野心将爱都货仓改建为青少年文康活动中心和澳门演艺学院(Macau Conservatory)饰演空间，那么保留那幅壁画就“分离适”。
The Estoril has also been criticized by Docomomo Macau, a nonprofit organization that presses for the preservation of some of the city’s Modernist structures.
爱都还遭到力主保护澳门某些当代主张建筑的非谋利组织澳门当代建筑学会(Docomomo Macau)的月旦。
Rui Leão, an architect and the group’s chairman, called the Estoril “a huge mess,” partly because it sits awkwardly in a crowded lot and is visually unappealing.
身为该学会会长的建筑师利安豪(Rui Leão)称爱都为“广泛的烂摊子”，部分是因为它难熬地坐落在一个拥堵的地区，在视觉上也莫得什么眩惑力。
The government initially planned to hire Álvaro Siza, a renowned Portuguese architect, to design the replacement for the Estoril. Mr. Leão, who supported that plan, said this would have raised the city’s architectural profile.
政府开头野心遴聘知名葡萄牙建筑师阿尔瓦罗·西扎(Alvaro Siza)来讲求爱都重建名堂标想象责任。对该野心暗示守旧的利安豪说，这会让澳门的建筑状态获得改善。
But officials appeared to suspend the project after Root Planning, a Macau organization devoted to heritage preservation, petitioned them to reconsider.
但在当地发愤于于遗产保护的团体我城社区接洽配合社(Root Planning)提请复议后，官员们似乎将该名堂放手了。
Hoi Ian Lei, 34, an urban planner and a co-founder of Root Planning, said her group did not ask the government to preserve the building per se, but merely to conduct a full heritage assessment of it as a matter of “procedural justice.”
现年34岁的城市接洽师、我城社区接洽配合社邻接创举人李海欣（Hoi Ian Lei，音）说，配合社并未条目政府保留这处建筑自己，而是提请政府秉持“智商正义”原则，对它进行全面的遗产评估。
“We are extremely concerned about the preservation policies for modern architecture in Macau,” she said.
“澳门的当代建筑保护战略让咱们极为担忧，”她说。
People involved in the debate over the Estoril say it is now unclear whether the government will demolish or just remodel the hotel, and whether it will preserve the mosaic. A spokeswoman for Macau’s Department of Cultural Heritage declined to comment.
一些参与爱都货仓问题相干的人说，现在尚不了了政府是会撤废爱都，还是会校阅它，也不了了政府是否会保留那幅壁画。澳门文化遗产厅的发言人休止置评。
Last year, the president of the New Macau Association, Scott Chiang, was arrested after he draped a black banner over the mosaic that accused Mr. Tam, the city’s cultural secretary, of being a “heritage killer.”
客岁，新澳门学社理事长郑明轩(Scott Chiang)因为在壁画上吊挂玄色条幅斥社会文化司司长谭俊荣为“文物杀手”而被捕。
One of the Italian sculptor’s 15 children, Giulio Acconci, said that while he did not consider the mosaic a “masterpiece,” he still would love to see it preserved as a facade for whatever new building replaces the hotel, or perhaps even as a floor for the adjacent swimming pool.
意大利雕镂家夏刚志的十五名子女之一祥瑞奥·阿孔奇(Giulio Acconci)说，他并不合计那幅壁画是“佳构”，但不论爱都被什么新建筑取代，他都但愿看到壁画动作新建筑的外立面被保留住来，概况哪怕是动作与之毗邻的游池塘的池底。
“People in Macau are sentimental — that’s our characteristic,” he said, adding that he remembered playing in Tap Seac Square as a child. “This is a sentimental thing.”
“澳门人重热枕——这是咱们的本性，”阿孔奇说。他说他还难忘小时辰在塔石广场玩耍的时光，“很令人感怀。”
During a recent sunset, the sidewalk beside the shuttered Estoril was empty except for some commuters who were waiting at a bus stop that sits under Fortuna’s feet. Sunlight was falling squarely on the mosaic, illuminating the goddess’s features even as the nearby square faded into darkness.
不久前的一个薄暮，爱都傍边的人行道上空荡荡的，惟有一些通勤者在福尔图娜眼下的公交站等车。阳光正值散落在壁画上，衬映着女神的面孔，尽管隔邻的广场正隐入迷蒙。
Alex Lei, 17, said he firmly opposed demolition, even if he considered the mosaic only “so-so.”
现年17岁的阿历克斯·李(Alex Lei)说他坚定反对撤废爱都，尽管他合计那幅壁画只可算“还好”。
But Mona Chu, 50, said she would like to see the Estoril replaced with a community center.
但现年50岁的莫娜·朱(Mona Chu)说她但愿看到爱都被一个社区活动中心取代。
Asked about the mosaic, she grimaced slightly.
被问及对壁画的主张时，她流露一点苦笑。
“It’s not so special,” she said.
“它没那么稀零，”她说。
