It is perhaps a fitting tribute to racial co-operation. However, the decision to outsource to China the carving of a new national memorial to Martin Luther King has raised eyebrows in the United States.
它也许是种族合作的一大献礼。但是，将马丁·路德·金纪念馆雕像外包给中国人来负责无疑会遭到许多的美国人质疑。
The 30ft-tall statue, which forms the centrepiece of a $120 million (￡73 million), four-acre memorial to Dr King, opened to the public on Monday on the National Mall in Washington. It is the only memorial on the Mall that does not honour a president or fallen soldiers.
这一高30英尺，耗资足有1.2亿（约合7,300万英镑），总面积达四亩的马丁·路德·金纪念雕像已于周一在华盛顿中央广场向公众开放。这是唯一一个不是为纪念总统或是烈士而设的纪念馆。

马丁·路德·金雕像
However, there has been controversy over the choice of Lei Yixin, a 57-year-old master sculptor from Changsha in Hunan province, to carry out the work. Critics have openly asked why a black, or at least an American, artist was not chosen.
对于该雕像的设计师——57岁高龄的湖南长沙雕刻大师，雷宜锌，之前的美国社会产生了很多的争议。有评论家公开质疑，为什么不是一个黑人，或至少是一个美国人，来为马丁·路德·金制作雕像。
Dr King's son, Martin Luther King III, has defended the outsourcing.
马丁·路德·金的儿子，马丁·路德·金三世则对此次的作品甚是满意。
"I have seen probably 50 sculptures of my dad, and I would say 47 of them are not good reflections," he said, to USA Today."This particular artist: he has done a good job."
他对《今日美国》报这样说道，“我看过差不多50尊我父亲的雕像，我必须得说，其中有47尊都没有很好的刻画出我父亲的神韵。但是，雷先生，他做到了，他的作品很棒。”
