krater

基本解釋

Set in its windows, like pearls in an oyster, are an elegant Attic red figure krater attributed to a 5th-century BC painter, an Etruscan pouring vessel and an array of vases.
許多骨董像是蚌殼里的珍珠般被放在櫥窗里，有一尊造型優(yōu)美的紅色雅典酒器，推測是出自西元前5世紀(jì)一位畫家之手，有一個伊特魯里亞人水瓶和一整排的花瓶。
Current Status: After several years of negotiation, the Met returned the krater to Italy in 2008 in exchange for the rights to display several comparable artifacts on loan.
目前狀況：經(jīng)過多年的磋商，大都會博物館在2008年把陶瓶歸還給了意大利，作為交換，博物館獲得了借走幾件相同價值文物的用來展覽的權(quán)利。
And while any cloud of suspicion over the krater's provenance was unbeknownst to Met curators in 1972, the museum faced calls from Italy to return the artifact, originally discovered outside Rome.
所以正當(dāng)大都會博物館館長為陶瓶究竟來自哪里而感到疑惑時，博物館收到了來自意大利的電話，原來陶瓶是最先在羅馬城外發(fā)現(xiàn)的，并且意大利方面要求將陶瓶退還。
