要救威尼斯,只有“米老鼠”

Briton Wins Prize for ＂Mickey Mouse＂ Venice Idea

一项将水城威尼斯改造成迪斯尼式主题公园的提议赢得了威尼斯一所著名学院颁发的大奖，尽管其创意遭到了学院的否定。这一提案由英国经济学家约翰·凯提出，被古老的威尼托学院描述为“对威尼斯笨拙的旅游经济的发人深省的批评”。凯写道：如果威尼斯成为一个主题公园，并收取50欧元门票费的话，它的经营境况将好些。他因此从那所有着近两百年历史的学院赢得了5，000欧元的奖金。他阐述这一想法的文章刊登在英国《泰晤士报）上，

Aproposal to turn the lagoon city of Venice into a Disney-style theme park has won a prize from a famed Venetian academy, even though it rejected the idea. The venerable Istituto Veneto described the scheme by British economist John Kay as a thought-provoking critique of the Italian city＇s unwieldy tourist economy. Kay won 5,000 euros from the nearly 200-year-old institute for writing that Venice would be better off as a theme park, complete with a 50 euro entrance fee.
