“南天一柱”已正式更名為“阿凡達哈利路亞山”

如果能夠親眼見到潘多拉(Pandora)，誰還要在2D屏幕上看《阿凡達》(Avatar)？

Who needs to watch 'Avatar' on a 2D screen when you can visit Pandora in person?

或至少見到影片中異族世界的中國版。或許是為了借卡梅隆(James Cameron)導演的這部大片成功之東風大賺一把，湖南的一個國家公園決定以該影片重新命名公園中的一座山峰。

Or at least the Chinese version of the movie's alien world. Perhaps seeking to cash in on the success of the James Cameron blockbuster, a national park in Hunan province has decided to rename one of its mountains after the film.

周一，原名“南天一柱”(又名干坤柱)的山峰被正式更名為“阿凡達哈利路亞山”。該峰所在的張家界市政府在其網站上稱該地區仿若刀劈斧削般令人震撼的地貌是電影中懸浮山的靈感來源，并指出一位好萊塢攝影師曾于2008年到訪張家界。（應當指出的是，卡梅隆親口稱電影中的景色來源于安徽省久負盛名的黃山。這引發了中國網民的討論。）

On Monday, the peak formerly known as 'South Sky Pillar' (or 'Heaven and Earth Pillar') officially had its name changed to 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain.' The local government of Zhangjiajie, where the park is located, says on its Web site that the striking tall and craggy formations in the area served as the inspiration for the floating mountains seen in the film, citing a visit by a Hollywood photographer to the park in 2008. (Cameron himself, it should be noted, reportedly said the famed Huangshan range in Anhui province was the source of the film's scenery, leading to some debate among Chinese netizens.)

“阿凡達哈利路亞山”是武陵源國家公園中約3000座此類山峰中的一座。該公園被聯合國教科文組織(Unesco)命名為世界自然遺產，每年吸引游客眾多。但鑒于《阿凡達》在中國取得的巨大成功，與它扯上關系大概不會有什么壞處。電影僅上映15天便創造了新的票房記錄，迄今為止總收入超過1億美元。為了給國產影片《孔子》讓路，《阿凡達》2D版遭停映，為此激起一片失望之聲。

The 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain' is one of around 3,000 such peaks in Wulingyan national park, itself a Unesco World Heritage Site that doesn't exactly lack for tourists. But the new link probably won't hurt, given the huge success of 'Avatar' in China. The film set a new box-office record in just 15 days, grossing over $100 million to date, and leading to choruses of frustration when it was pulled from 2D screens to make room for a domestically produced Confucius biopic.

國有旅行社──中國國家旅行社(CITS)的當地分社已經開始利用與該影片的關聯進行促銷。路透社(Reuters)報道稱該旅行社正在推出“阿凡達-潘多拉神奇之旅”和“阿凡達懸浮山神奇之旅”線路。

Already the local branch of state-run travel agency CITS is also promoting the connection to film--Reuters reports that it is offering a 'Magical tour to Avatar-Pandora' and a 'Miracle tour to Avatar's floating mountain.'
