Part III

This is by far the biggest museum I have ever been to! I couldn’t see everything inside.

I just visited the displays I really wanted to see and I was very keen to see Raphael (Rafael)

and Michelangelo’s works and of course the famous Sistine Chapel. I just couldn’t get to the final

 section fast enough! It took some while to get to the Last Judgment and the Genesis but… I finally made it!

The room was dark and there were so many people standing there. This room is very special and

 everyone there was supposed to be silent and you weren’t allowed to take pictures, but, people

 were talking, sitting and using flashes when taking pictures, so I took some pictures too, although

 without a flash. Then, there was an announcement telling people to keep quiet and to stop taking

pictures and by this time I was really tired but it was certainly one of the best things I did in Rome.

 I was very satisfied with my trip there.

這是迄今為止我去過最大的博物館！我沒法看完裡面的一切。我只能參觀了我真

的很想看的展品，我非常渴望看到拉斐爾和米開朗琪羅的作品，當然還有著名的西斯廷

教堂。我無法快速到達最後的一個部分！需花上一些時間才可看到《最後的審判》

和《創世紀》，但...我終於做到了！

房間裡一片漆黑，當時有很多人站在那裡。這個房間是非常特殊的，每個人都應該要

保持沉默，你不准拍照，但是，人們在談論，坐著和使用閃光燈拍照，我也拍了

一些照片，然而沒有閃光的。然後，有一個公告，告訴人們保持安靜，並停止拍照，

這時候我真的累了，但它肯定是我在羅馬做了最好的事。我很滿意我在那裡的旅行。

The Vatican Museums trace their origin to one marble sculpture, purchased 500 years ago.

The sculpture of Laocoön, the priest who, according to Greek mythology, tried to convince the people

 of ancient Troy not to accept the Greeks' "gift" of a hollow horse, was discovered 14 January 1506,

 in a vineyard near the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Pope Julius II sent Giuliano da Sangallo

 and Michelangelo Buonarroti, who were working at the Vatican, to examine the discovery.

On their recommendation, the pope immediately purchased the sculpture from the vineyard owner.

The pope put the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons in the grips of a sea serpent on public

display at the Vatican exactly one month after its discovery.

The Museums celebrated their 500th anniversary in October 2006 by permanently

opening the excavations of a Vatican Hill necropolis to the public.

梵蒂岡博物館的起源可以追溯到500年前購買的一座大理石雕像。這座名為拉奧孔與

兒子們的雕像於1506年1月14日在聖母大殿附近的一個葡萄園裡發掘出來。

教皇儒略二世派朱利亞諾•達•桑迦洛（Giuliano da Sangallo）和米開朗琪羅去查看發掘成果。

在他們的推薦下，教皇當機立斷從葡萄園主那裡買下了雕像。在發掘出雕像整一個月後，

教皇就在梵蒂岡向公眾進行了展示。

2006年10月梵蒂岡博物館慶祝建館500周年之際，

向公眾開放了梵蒂岡山丘上公墓的發掘現場。

The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani), in Viale Vaticano in Rome, inside the Vatican City,

are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense

 collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries.

Pope Julius II founded the museums in the 16th century. The Sistine Chapel and the Stanze

della Segnatura decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.

梵蒂岡博物館（意大利語：Musei Vaticani）位於梵蒂岡城內，由羅馬梵蒂岡大道

（Viale Vaticano）可達。梵蒂岡博物館是世界上最偉大的博物館之一，

16世紀時，教皇儒略二世創建了博物館。遊客在遊覽梵蒂岡博物館時會經過由

拉斐爾裝飾的西斯廷禮拜堂和拉斐爾房間（Stanze di Raffaello）。
