墨索里尼的防空洞將開放參觀
Mussolini air raid shelter opens to tourists
A Roman villa's wine cellar, which was converted into an air raid shelter for Benito Mussolini and the Italian dictator's family, is opening its anti-gas, double steel doors to tourists.
羅馬別墅內，由酒窖改建、給義大利獨裁者本尼托‧墨索里尼和家人避難的防空洞，打開那扇防毒氣的雙層不鏽鋼門讓遊客參觀。
The shelter was quickly constructed in 1940, after the outbreak of World War II, in what had once been the wine cellar of a noble family who lived there before Mussolini took up residence during his Fascist rule.
1940年，防空洞在第二次世界大戰爆發後快速建成。防空洞本來是一戶貴族家族的酒窖，後來墨索里尼執行法西斯主義獨裁統治時住在該處。
Visitors at a preview Saturday saw the iron-rung ladder used for emergency exits and a rusting contraption to purify air in case of a gas attack. A label on the apparatus was dated November 1940 in Roman numerals, in keeping with Mussolini's style of evoking the ancient Roman empire's glory days as inspiration for his own rule.
星期六的預展上，遊客看到用做緊急逃生出口的鐵梯，和一個已經生鏽的空氣淨化新奇裝置，為遇到毒氣攻擊時使用。儀器上貼有用羅馬數字標示的日期：1940年11月，符合墨索里尼對羅馬帝國的熱愛；他的執政方式是受到羅馬帝國啟發。
The tours, which will run on weekends starting Oct. 31, will also take visitors to see a separate underground bunker that was later built for Mussolini directly under the villa.
參觀行程將於10月31日開始，只有周末開放。行程還會帶遊客參觀別墅地下後來蓋的另一獨立地下碉堡。
