For almost a century, Copenhagen's iconic Little Mermaid statue has perched alone on a rock in the harbour, wistfully pining for the prince she has been promised - and now she will finally get her man.
近百年來,丹麥哥本哈根的標志性景觀——小美人魚雕像——就那樣孤獨地躺在港口巖石上,渴望著約定好的王子的到來。如今,小美人魚終于如愿與償。

The city of Helsingoer will on Saturday unveil a suitable companion, named Han(Him, in Danish), to Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale mermaid.
周六,赫爾辛基市將為安徒生童話中的小美人魚揭開她理想伴侶的面紗,伴侶名叫Han(丹麥語中表示Him)。

The stainless steel young male figure is to perch on his own steel rock in a similar pose in Helsingoer harbour, watching the fleets of luxury liners that pass through the Oeresund Strait on their way to the Little Mermaid.
這尊年輕男性雕像是不銹鋼材質,他將以同小美人魚相似的姿勢躺在自己的鋼制巖石上,在赫爾辛基海港看著一艘艘豪華客船駛過厄勒松海峽,駛向小美人魚像。

"It's a beautiful sculpture and it has lots of curious details - like the eye that blinks and the mirror effect," Helsingoer mayor Johannes Hecht-Nielsen said.
