It may look like a load of old rubbish. But the creator of this wonky bin has just won one of Britain's biggest art competitions. This year's Turner Prize went to Martin Boyce, who created the bin as part of a recreation of a park scene.
这看起来就像是一堆旧垃圾,可是这个摇摇欲坠的垃圾桶的设计者却因此获得了英国最大的艺术大奖。2011年特纳奖得主马丁-博伊斯称,他设计的这个垃圾桶将作为公园休闲的一景。

But despite its scruffy appearance, judges for the £25,000 prize said it was 'pioneering' and had a 'new sense of poetry'.
但在这个破旧肮脏的外表之下,特纳奖的评委们却把两万五千英镑(约合人民币25万元)的的大奖授予了这个先锋作品,并赞其为“体现了一种新的诗意”。

The bin has been bestowed with the lofty but rather confusing name, Northern Skies. It beat three other similarly unconventional exhibits to the prize –including a room of screwed up paper and a video of a floorboard.
这个垃圾桶被授予了极高的荣誉,却有着令人困惑的名字,叫做“北方的天空”。这件垃圾桶艺术品打败了其它三件非传统的艺术作品而获得大奖,其它的参赛作品包括一个塞满废纸的房间和一段地板的视频。

Scottish-born Mr Boyce, 44, has said of his work: "When I make these pieces, I want them to feel like they have been found." His work is made from industrial materials and is thought to be inspired by modernist design.
博伊斯出生于苏格兰,现年44岁,他对自己的作品是这样评价的,“当我创作作品时,我希望作品本身可以觉得它们是被发现的美。”博伊斯的作品是由工业材料制成的,据说是受到了现代设计的启发而完成的。
