>Notre Dame 'still fragile'
巴黎圣母院修復幾率50%

The rector of Notre Dame Cathedral says the Paris landmark is still so fragile that there's a "50% chance" the structure might not be saved, because scaffolding installed before the April fire is threatening the vaults of the Gothic monument.
法國巴黎圣母院院長近日表示，圣母院大教堂目前仍然很脆弱，由于今年四月火災前在建筑內(nèi)部安裝的腳手架可能毀壞這座哥特式歷史遺跡的拱頂，其結構有"50%的幾率"無法保全。

Monsignor Patrick Chauvet said restoration work isn't likely to begin until 2021.
院長帕特里克·肖維指出，正式的修復工作可能要到2021年才能開始。

"Today it is not out of danger," he said. "It will be out of danger when we take out the remaining scaffolding."
他表示："(大教堂)目前還很危險，只有完全拆除剩余的腳手架，它才能脫離危險。"

Chauvet estimated it would take another three years after that to make it safe enough for people to re-enter the cathedral, but that the full restoration will take longer.
肖維預估，需要再花3年的時間才能保證人們再次安全進入教堂，而完全修復則會花費更長時間。

French President Emmanuel Macron has said he wants it rebuilt by 2024, when Paris hosts the Olympics, but experts have questioned whether that time frame is realistic.
法國總統(tǒng)馬克龍曾表示他希望教堂能夠在2024年完成重建，那時巴黎將主辦奧運會，但專家們質(zhì)疑這一時間安排是否現(xiàn)實。
