    Wax statues 蠟像



    Friday, Mar 03, 2006,Page 20


    PHOTO: EPA

    Do you think there is anything strange about these three people? Believe it or not, there is only one real person in this picture. Can you tell which one is real?

    The person standing on the right and the person standing in the back are not real people. They are statues made out of wax. Only the man jumping in the air on the left is real.

    Wax statues are made to look just like real people. If you walked by them, you might never know that they were made out of wax.

    These two statues are made to look like two very famous actors. Can you tell who they are supposed to look like? The one on the right is Bruce Lee and the one in the middle is Jackie Chan.

    你認為這三個人有哪裡不對勁呢?不管你相不相信,這張照片裡只有一位是真人。你分辨得出誰是真人嗎?

    站在右邊與後方的不是真人,他們都是蠟像。左方凌空跳躍的才是真人。

    蠟像是模仿真人之作。假如你經過他們身旁,你大概不知道他們是由蠟製成的。

    這兩座蠟像是仿製兩位相當知名的演員。你知道他們像誰嗎?右邊的人是李小龍,中間的是成龍。
