NEW YORK (AFP) - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show their baby daughter off in public, but eager fans were given an unusual preview with the chance to see a bronze cast depicting her first solid stool.
好莱坞巨星汤姆·克鲁斯和未婚妻凯蒂·赫尔姆斯还未带着宝贝女儿公开露面，但是狂热的追星族们却迎来了和小宝宝非同寻常的第一次亲密接触——去参观有关她的一尊铜像——她第一次排出的固体大便！
The scatological sculpture is purportedly cast from 19-week old Suri's first bowel movement and will be shown at the Capla Kesting gallery in Brooklyn, New York, before being auctioned off for charity.
据称，这尊大便雕塑的原型是克鲁斯19周大的女儿苏瑞第一次拉下的固体大便，雕塑将在美国纽约州布鲁克林的Capla Kesting美术馆展出，之后将被公开拍卖，所得收益全部捐赠给慈善事业。
The artist behind the work, Daniel Edwards, previously courted controversy with a life-size nude sculpture of pop star Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug. That work was shown at the same gallery in April.
该雕塑的创作者是丹尼尔·爱德华。爱德华之前创作出了富有争议的布兰妮临盆塑像。那尊和真人一样大小的塑像展现的是布兰妮趴在熊皮地毯上临产时的模样。今年4月，布兰妮临盆雕塑也是在Capla Kesting美术馆展出的。
"A bronzed cast of baby's first poop can be a meaningful memento for the family," gallery director David Kesting said, adding that he hoped the work would attract bids of up to 25 or 30,000 dollars.
美术馆馆长大卫·凯斯汀说：“宝宝首次排泄的固体大便的铜像对这个家庭而言是件意味深长的纪念品。”凯斯汀还补充道，他希望这件作品可以拍卖出2.5万至3万美元的价格。
The sculpture, which sits on a wooden mounting with a glass casing, is to be sold on eBay next month with proceeds from the sale going to infant health charity March Of Dimes.
这件雕塑被置于木质的底座上并被玻璃罩封住。它将于下月在网上被拍卖，收益将捐赠给致力于婴儿健康事业的March Of Dimes慈善会。
As of Wednesday it had attracted a top bid of 41 dollars.
8月30日，这件作品在网上的竞价已经升至到了41美元。
Cruise and Holmes announced Suri's birth in April. A spokeman for the couple was not immediately available Wednesday to comment on the sculpture.
4月，克鲁斯夫妇引来了女儿苏瑞的降生。目前，二人的发言人对这件大便雕塑的评论还不得而知。
