At London's National Gallery, one of the world's most iconic paintings is about to become unrecognizable.
在伦敦的英国国家美术馆，世界上最具标志性的画作之一即将变得面目全非。
After throwing tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, the two activists stuck their hands to the wall.
在把番茄汤泼在梵高的这一杰作上后，这两名激进分子把手黏在了墙上。
"What is worth more, art or life? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet?"
“艺术还是生活，到底哪个更有价值？你是更关心保护一幅画，还是更关心保护我们的星球？”
It's a growing trend. In July, protesters stuck their hands to a painting by Botticelli in Florence.
类似的事件在不断上演。今年7月，就有抗议者在佛罗伦萨，把他们的手黏在了波提切利的一幅画作上。
And earlier in May, a man pretending to be disabled, smeared the Mona Lisa with cake in Paris Louvre Museum.
5月初，在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆，一名男子假装残疾，用蛋糕涂抹了名画《蒙娜丽莎》。
Each protest is painstakingly choreographed and filmed, but the protagonists are struggling to get public opinion on their side.
而每一次的抗议，都是经过精心策划和拍摄的，事件的主角都在努力争取公众舆论站在他们这一边。
"It's always ridiculous to attack symbols. I don't understand what it achieves apart from making a buzz."
“对这些标志性的作品进行攻击真的很荒谬。我不明白除了制造轰动外，这么做还能有什么效果。”
"I understand the point because it gets people talking, but I don't think it helps people fighting for the environment."
“我能明白他们这么做的点在哪里，因为这会让人们进行热议，但我不认为这么做对人们为环境进行抗争有什么用。”
But for some environmentalists, these kinds of stunts are the best way to draw attention to their cause.
但对一些环保人士来说，这类噱头是吸引人们关注他们的事业的最佳方式。
"They're attacking something that's sacred in a way.
“他们攻击的是一些在某种程度上可以说是“神圣”的东西。
So right now, their aim is to multiply the potential targets to spread the word and get as many people talking about the environment as possible."
所以他们现在的计划是扩大潜在目标，传播这类信息，让尽可能多的人谈论环境问题。”
For now, the works targeted have all been protected by glass covers, so while the frame may need replacing, this time, van Gogh's Sunflowers have escaped intact.
到目前为止，所有被盯上的作品都被玻璃罩保护着，所以尽管画框可能需要更换，但这一次，梵高的这幅《向日葵》，完好无损地躲过一劫。
