For almost a century, Copenhagen's iconic Little Mermaid statue has perched alone on a rock in the harbour, wistfully pining for the prince she has been promised - and now she will finally get her man.
近百年来,丹麦哥本哈根的标志性景观——小美人鱼雕像——就那样孤独地躺在港口岩石上,渴望着约定好的王子的到来。如今,小美人鱼终于如愿与偿。

The city of Helsingoer will on Saturday unveil a suitable companion, named Han(Him, in Danish), to Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale mermaid.
周六,赫尔辛基市将为安徒生童话中的小美人鱼揭开她理想伴侣的面纱,伴侣名叫Han(丹麦语中表示Him)。

The stainless steel young male figure is to perch on his own steel rock in a similar pose in Helsingoer harbour, watching the fleets of luxury liners that pass through the Oeresund Strait on their way to the Little Mermaid.
这尊年轻男性雕像是不锈钢材质,他将以同小美人鱼相似的姿势躺在自己的钢制岩石上,在赫尔辛基海港看着一艘艘豪华客船驶过厄勒松海峡,驶向小美人鱼像。

"It's a beautiful sculpture and it has lots of curious details - like the eye that blinks and the mirror effect," Helsingoer mayor Johannes Hecht-Nielsen said.
“这是尊漂亮的雕像,有很多奇妙的细节,比如那双眯着的眼睛,以及雕像的镜像效果。”赫尔辛基市市长Johannes Hecht-Nielsen说道。

At a cost of around three million Danish kroner, the city is hoping its new acquisition will attract an increasing number of tourists.
这座雕像的造价高达300百万丹麦克朗(约合318万人民币),当地政府希望它能为本市吸引来更多游客。
