美联社图片:丘吉尔是如何接受“世界北极熊之都”的称号的

丘吉尔,马尼托巴(美联社)——当北极熊开始来到丘吉尔时,游客们也来了。

突然之间,北极熊开始无处不在——从艺术品到垫子套,甚至啤酒罐上——这个位于哈德逊湾的加拿大偏远小镇的居民欣然接受了他们“世界北极熊之都”的称号。

无论游客走到哪里,都会看到熊的形象。在一家酒店的餐厅里,一幅画着三只熊在海冰上休息的画高高挂在餐桌上方。在一个酒店房间里,一个垫子上的动物摆出各种瑜伽姿势,拼出“北极熊”。在一家旅游公司的礼品店,一个巨大的蓝色熊雕塑在门口欢迎顾客。

但北极熊不仅仅是为游客准备的:一栋住宅楼里有一幅巨大的壁画,画的是一只北极熊用后腿站立,凝视着小镇。另一幅壁画,这是在一家企业的侧面,以色彩鲜艳的北极熊和成对游泳的白鲸的交替图像为特色。在镇上的公共图书馆,读者们与一个巨大的咧嘴笑的熊雕塑分享他们的空间,这个雕塑陈列在书架之间的显著位置。

在镇上的杂货店里,购物者也可以享受到一种“蓝熊”啤酒,罐头上有一只北极熊的插图。

气候变化主要是由人类燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气引起的,这意味着有一天当地的北极熊数量几乎会消失。

但只要邱吉尔还有熊,居民和游客都会继续欣赏和纪念它们。
