23、s and modest hearts.It is as if they have become one with their craft and with the history of the country.译文参考时间大师在紫禁城高墙后的西三所安静的庭院里,时间按着自己的节奏流逝着。要不是那三集纪录片,外面的人永远也不会知道,在这里工作的那些衣着朴素的人竟然都是精于各门技艺的大师,他们毕生都在修复珍贵的古董。这其中便包括钟表修复大师王津。王津穿过七重深红色的大门,走向自己的工作地点。尽管现在他经常被想和他合影的粉丝拦住,他仍然认为自己是故宫博物院的一名普通工人。王先生和他的学生们日复一日
24、地修复着数百年前的钟表,但在过去相当长的一段时间里,故宫博物院修理钟表的工匠只有他和他的学生亓昊楠。清朝的皇帝们十分喜欢钟表。因此,外国使节们把最精致、最华丽的钟表送给这些皇帝来取悦他们。如今,故宫博物院拥有一部分世界上最重要的钟表藏品,这些钟表主要来自欧洲和中国。从小怀表到一米多高的钟,每一件都需要独特的修复方法。考虑到工作的复杂性和缺乏必要的材料,这意味着每个专家每年最多可以完成两件大型作品。但是,王先生和他的学生们通过艰苦的努力不只是修复了钟表他们还让钟表恢复了生命。在王津的工作坊里,唯一能打破寂静的声音是在修理、抛光钟表时发出的报时的旋律。对王津来说,这是世界上最美的音乐。经过八个月无
25、休止的调整,王先生现在终于进行到了为乾隆皇帝时代的巨型钟表上弦的时候。那些已经静止了几个世纪的造型复杂的摆件瞬间复活了:水流动着,船航行着,狗吠叫着,鸡拍动着翅膀,一个女人纺着线。这真是一个令人惊叹的时刻。人们突然明白了,当钟表大师们说“这些古董有生命”时,这既不是夸大其词,也不是暗喻。但是,尽管经过了几代大师的共同努力,钟表的修复似乎永远不可能完成。即使故宫博物院的每件钟表都被修复了。仍然有工作要做,因为可能需要重新开始对很久以前修复的钟表进行修复。这是一场与时间的赛跑,却永远不可能赢!尽管如此,王先生对这些钟表的未来仍持乐观态度。多年前,王先生继承了师父的事业,而现在他已将自己的技艺传授给了将承担未来许多修复工作的新成员。更重要的是,在继承父业这一壮志的激励下,王先生的儿子现在也开始修复古董钟表。新一代的工匠们不仅能够协助保留传统技艺,他们给技艺带来的创新也将确保钟表修复艺术能够经得起时间的考验。在当今快节奏的世界里,“时间不等人”的说法似乎再贴切不过了。然而,在西三所的隐秘庭院里,王先生和他的同事们用灵巧的双手和谦逊的心沉着地拼凑着过去,带来了永恒,好像他们已经与自己的技艺和这个国家的历史融为了一体。
