A new painting by the "guerilla artist" Banksy is currently the focus of a heated argument in the city of Bristol, England. The painting appeared overnight on a building. The leader of a nearby youth club, DennisStinchcombe, couldn't believe his luck when he saw it and discovered it was a Banksy that could be worth up to $150,000. He prised it off the wall using a crowbar and stored it in the youth club. However, the city mayor said Mr Stinchcombe had no right to take the painting as it was on the wall of a city-owned building. The mayor wants the painting put back. Stinchcombe said it would be vandalised and hopes to auction itto raise money for the youth club. He has since received death threats from angry Banksy fans.

涂鴉藝術(shù)家班克西的新畫(huà)作成為了英格蘭布里斯托爾的熱議話題。這一畫(huà)作一夜之間出現(xiàn)在了一棟建筑之上。旁邊青年俱樂(lè)部的經(jīng)理丹尼斯·汀康比不敢相信他會(huì)如此幸運(yùn)，班克西的這幅畫(huà)作可能會(huì)價(jià)值15萬(wàn)美金。他用撬棍將墻體撬下來(lái)，并保存在了青年俱樂(lè)部中。但是，布里斯托爾市市長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為汀康比沒(méi)有權(quán)利將畫(huà)作取走，因?yàn)閴w是城市建筑。市長(zhǎng)希望將畫(huà)作放回原處。汀康比認(rèn)為這將會(huì)造成破壞，他希望能夠把這幅畫(huà)作拍賣出去，為青年俱樂(lè)部籌錢。自此之后，他還收到了班克西粉絲的死亡威脅。

The painting has been called "Mobile Lovers". It depicts a man and woman embracing while checking out their mobile phones over one another's shoulder. Art by Banksy is much sought after the world over. The mysterious artist, who is only known by the pseudonym Banksy, has become famous for paintings left on walls and buildings around the world. Many have been removed by building owners and caused similar spats. Wikipedia says Banksy's work combines, "dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique." Banksy's work is heavy on political and social commentary. The city mayor said it was "against the spirit of Banksy and street art" to remove it from where the artist put it.

這幅畫(huà)作叫作“移動(dòng)的戀人”。這幅畫(huà)展現(xiàn)的是一對(duì)情侶相擁在一起，并在彼此的肩頭查看手機(jī)。班克西的著作在全世界受到熱捧。他是位神秘的藝術(shù)家，我們只知道他的匿名叫作班克西，他也因在建筑上留下畫(huà)作而出名。許多建筑擁有者將畫(huà)作移除，這也引起了相似的指責(zé)。維基百科認(rèn)為班克西的作品把黑色幽默和涂鴉相結(jié)合，并運(yùn)用鏤花涂裝技術(shù)表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。班克西的作品大多數(shù)是關(guān)于政治和社會(huì)評(píng)論。城市市長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為將藝術(shù)家的畫(huà)作拆除是對(duì)班克西以及街頭藝術(shù)的對(duì)抗。
