阿根廷银匠胡安·卡洛斯·帕拉罗尔斯正在利用福克兰群岛战争遗留的弹壳碎片及其他物品，打造一只“和平圣杯”，计划在教皇利奥十四世下月访问阿根廷时赠予他。
Combining the remnants of shell casings and other items from the Falklands War, Argentine silversmith Juan Carlos Pallarols is crafting a "Chalice of Peace" to give to Pope Leo XIV when he visits Argentina next month.
阿根廷最著名的银匠之一帕拉罗尔斯，耗时10个月制作这件作品，以赶在教皇11月8日至11日的访问行程之前完工。“我们是为他制作的，将把它呈献给他，”83岁的帕拉罗尔斯在位于布宜诺斯艾利斯历史中心的作坊里说道。
It has taken Pallarols, one of Argentina's most renowned silversmiths, 10 months to make the piece ahead of the pope's November 8-11 trip." We're making it for him and we're going to present it to him," Pallarols, 83, said in his workshop in the historic center of Buenos Aires.
这间杂乱的作坊弥漫着金属气息，摆满了金、银、铜制品以及压力机、锤子和雕刻工具。“这是一个非常齐全的作坊，”他笑着说。
The cluttered workshop, where the smell of metal fills the air, is packed with gold, silver and bronze pieces and equipment presses, hammers and engraving tools." It's a very complete workshop," he laughed.
旨在将战争用品转化为和平象征，帕拉罗尔斯用熔化的弹药，以及1982年福克兰群岛战争退伍军人捐赠的戒指、手镯等个人物品铸造了这只圣杯。那场战争由阿根廷和英国为争夺阿根廷称为“马尔维纳斯群岛”的岛屿而爆发，持续10周，造成649名阿根廷人和255名英军士兵丧生。
Aiming to convert items used in war into an object of peace, Pallarols made the chalice from melted munitions as well as rings, bracelets and other personal items donated by veterans of the 1982 Falklands War, fought between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the islands called Las Malvinas in Argentina. The 10-week war claimed the lives of 649 Argentines and 255 British troops.
福克兰群岛的控制权在阿根廷是一个极具情感色彩的议题，尽管岛民自己在2013年的公投中以压倒性多数投票决定继续保持英国统治。
Control of the Falklands is a highly emotive issue in Argentina, even though the islanders themselves voted overwhelmingly in 2013 to remain British.
阿根廷右翼总统哈维尔·米莱伊重申了本国对该群岛的主权主张，但英国坚持该岛仍属英国。阿根廷拒绝接受这一立场，理由是自决原则不适用于此案，因为大多数岛民是19世纪由英国带去的人的后裔。
Argentine right-wing President Javier Milei has renewed his country's claim on the archipelago, but Britain has insisted the island remains British. Argentina rejects that, arguing that the principle of self-determination does not apply in this case because most islanders are descendants of people brought by Britain in the 1800s.
为了让圣杯成为阿根廷人民的礼物，和平主义者帕拉罗尔斯走遍全国，让成千上万的人用小锤敲击这块金属。
To make the chalice a gift from the Argentine people, the pacifist Pallarols traveled around the country, letting thousands of people use a small hammer to strike the metal piece.A descendant of Catalan silversmiths, Pallarols said the family tradition goes back to 1715 and that his ancestors have been making pieces for pontiffs since the 19th century."
作为加泰罗尼亚银匠家族的后裔，帕拉罗尔斯表示，家族传统可追溯至1715年，祖辈自19世纪以来一直为历任教皇制作圣杯。“过去150年里，每一位教皇的圣杯都是我家族制作的，”他说。
“直到今天，”帕拉罗尔斯一边穿过作坊一边说道，他那形影不离的狗明戈紧随其后。
My family has made a chalice for every pope there has been over the last 150 years up to today," Pallarols said as he walked through the workshop, closely followed by Mingo, his inseparable dog.
