好莱坞标志面临被强拆危险

　　The iconic Hollywood sign in Beverley Hills is at the risk of being demolished。

　　贝弗利山上著名的好莱坞标志正面临被拆掉的危险。

　　Even though the sign is owned by the city, the property around it falls under the ownership of a group of Chicago-based investors。

　　虽说这个标志为洛杉矶所有，但周边地产却属于一家芝加哥地产商集团。

　　Now, these investors have planned to sell the land to developers。

　　如今，这些地产商打算将这块地卖给开发商。

　　However, a conservation group still has a chance to save the sign by buying the plot around it for 12.5million dollars by 14 April。

　　要拯救好莱坞标志不被强拆，必须在4月14日前支付1250万美金。

　　And already 9.5million dollars have been raised thanks to contribution from people in the industry such as actor Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg。

　　演艺界人士，包括汤姆汉克斯和大导演斯皮尔伯格，已经筹集了950万美金的捐款。

　　Also, Los Angeles council member Tom LaBonge said, "We're getting closer to our goal and if we continue working hard, I know we'll reach it."

　　洛杉矶议员Tom LaBonge也说：“我们正接近目标，继续加把劲的话，就能买下我们的标志了。”

　　To raise awareness, banner reading 'Save the Peak' was used to drape the sign。

　　为了引起民众关注，一条写有“拯救巅峰”的条幅被挂在标志上面。

　　The Hollywood sign was created in 1923 for publicity purpose of a real estate development called Hollywoodland。

　　好莱坞标志是 1923年建立起来的，当时是为了给名为“好莱坞之地”的地产开发活动做宣传。
