据当地媒体报道，法国上月发生两幅皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿画作被盗案，目前已至少有五人被捕。其中两名涉嫌入室盗窃的嫌疑人也在被捕之列。
At least five people have been arrested in France in connection with the theft of two paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir last month, local media report. The two suspected burglars are said to be among them.
这两幅从尼斯郊区卡涅-苏尔梅尔雷诺阿博物馆被盗的杰作至今仍未追回。另有两件作品则被窃贼在仓促逃离博物馆时遗弃。
Two of the masterpieces stolen from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a suburb of Nice, have yet to be recovered. Two other works were abandoned by the thieves as they rushed to leave the museum.
这起盗窃案是欧洲近期一系列高关注度艺术品盗窃案中的最新一起，也让美术馆和博物馆的安全问题成为公众关注的焦点。
The heist was the latest in a series of high-profile art thefts in Europe which thrust the security of galleries and museums into the spotlight.
9月8日黎明时分，嫌疑人剪断围栏进入博物馆绿树成荫的庭院，砸碎窗户潜入内部，并使用电锯割开画框固定装置。
The suspects cut through a fence to enter the museum's tree-lined grounds at dawn on 8 September, smashed a window to get inside, and used an electric saw to cut through the frame mountings.
失踪的两幅画作分别是《科洛纳·罗马诺夫人肖像》（1910年）和《井边少女》（1886年）。
The two missing paintings are the Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano (1910) and Jeune fille au puits (1886).
据最先报道逮捕消息的《尼斯晨报》称，这些嫌疑人可能属于一个有组织的犯罪团伙。包括《尼斯晨报》在内的一些法国媒体称，被捕人数为六人。当地检察官在回应BBC询问时，拒绝证实逮捕一事。雷诺阿博物馆收藏了这位著名画家的12幅作品。
According to the Nice-Matin newspaper, which first broke the news of the arrests, the suspects could be part of an organised criminal gang. Some French news outlets, including Nice-Matin, say the number of those arrested is six. Local prosecutors have declined to confirm the arrests when contacted by the BBC. The Renoir Museum is home to 12 of the famous painter's artworks.
该博物馆于1960年开放，是雷诺阿在1919年去世前的最后一处住所，馆内还陈列着许多他曾拥有的物品，包括他的画架、轮椅、照片以及私人信件。近几个月来，欧洲多家博物馆和美术馆都发生了重大盗窃案。
Opened in 1960, it was Renoir's last home before his death in 1919, and also features many things that once belonged to him, including his easel and wheelchair, as well as photographs and personal letters. Several European museums and galleries have seen major thefts in recent months.
8月，意大利一家博物馆内雷诺阿、保罗·塞尚和亨利·马蒂斯的画作被盗，整个盗窃过程仅持续了三分钟。这些画作后来被成功追回。
In August, paintings by Renoir, Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse were stolen from a museum in Italy, in a heist that lasted just three minutes. They were later recovered.
其中一起最引人注目的事件发生在去年10月，当时法国王冠珠宝在巴黎卢浮宫被人在光天化日之下盗走。
One of the most high-profile such incidents was in October last year, when France's crown jewels were stolen in broad daylight from the Louvre in Paris.
窃贼伪装成建筑工人，在卢浮宫开放期间闯入了其一楼的阿波罗画廊。他们使用角磨机打开展柜，盗走了价值8800万欧元（7800万英镑）的珠宝，这些珠宝曾属于19世纪的王后和皇后。此后，卢浮宫因安保投入不足而受到批评。
The thieves, disguised as construction workers, broke into the Louvre's first-floor Apollo Gallery during the museum's opening hours. Using a angle-grinder to open display cases, they made off with €88m (£78m) of jewels that once belonged to 19th-Century queens and empresses. The Louvre was subsequently criticised for under-investing in security.
