英语翻译
White shell-like roofs,unlike anything else in the world,make the Sydney Opera House an image of timeless beauty.It is famous for being a symbol ,not only of a city,but a whole country and continent too.
Its creator ,Danish architect Jorn Utzon,turned 85 last Wednesday.And he was awarded the Prize of architecture on April 6,but Utzon has never seen his Opera House.
The story began in 1957 when Utzon won an international competition to design an opera house in Sydney.But not everyone was excited.Utzon left his Opera project in 1966 after an argument with the local government and a storm of public criticism (批评) over the building's design.It was not completed until seven years later and Utzon has never returned to Australia to see the result of his work.
"Utzon made a building well ahead of its time,and he persevered (坚持) through criticism to build a building that changed the image of an entire country," said Frank Gehry,a Pritzker Architecture Prize judge.
Although the Sydney Opera House was Utzon's masterpiece,it damaged his career.Upon his return to Denmark,he found work hard to come by,so he became a teacher at a university in Hawaii.Utzon said he once saw posters of the Opera House.The interiors (内部构造) were different from his designs.But,he said:"There is not regret from his designs,for it gave me such a wonderful experience in Australia and towards which I only have love and appreciation."
Britain's Queen Elizabeth opened the Opera House in 1973,and it now holds around 3,000 events every year.It is recognized as one of the great symbolic buildings of the 20th century.

白色贝壳似的屋顶,不同于世界上任何其它的建筑,成就了悉尼歌剧院永恒的美.它以象征整个国家甚至大陆而闻名,而不仅是一个城市的象征.
它的创建者,丹麦建筑师学家Jorn Utzon,上周三刚过了85岁的生日.他在4月6日被授予建筑学奖,但是Utzon自己从来没有看见过悉尼歌剧院.
故事从1957年开始,Utzon在一次国际性的为悉尼设计歌剧院的比赛中获胜.但是不是所有人都为此激动.Utzon 在1966年与当地政府发生争执,引起公众对建筑设计的批评风暴后,退出了歌剧院工程.这项工程指导7年后才完成,Utzon也再也没有回到澳大利亚去看过他的作品.
“Utzon设计出了走在那个时代前列的建筑,而且他在批判声中坚持建造了一个改变整个国家形象的建筑.”Frank Gehry说,普利兹克建筑奖的评委之一.
虽然悉尼歌剧院是Utzon的杰作,却也毁了他的事业.当他回到丹麦,发现很难找到工作,所以他在夏威夷当了一名大学教师.Utzon说他曾见过歌剧院的海报.它的内部构造与他的设计不同.但是,他说：“对于设计,我没有遗憾,因为它给了我在澳大利亚一段如此精彩的经历,我对澳大利亚只有热爱与欣赏.”
1973年,伊莉莎白为悉尼歌剧院揭幕,现在它每年可以容纳大约3000场演出,被认可为20世纪最具象征性的建筑物之一.
