Crane brought in to remove historic tree in England that was cut in act of vandalism_我的网站

一 |     LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。    

    
    　　随着克莱-汤普森与达拉斯独行侠达成买断协议，这位四届总冠军得主即将以两年1300万美元的合同加盟迈阿密热火。消息传出后，前NBA球星“白巧克力”贾森-威廉姆斯在播客节目中对此笔操作给予了高度评价。
    
    　　威廉姆斯直言：“克莱正是热火急需的强援！他的到来将让球队实力产生质的飞跃。克莱依然油箱满满，宝刀未老！帕特-莱利，你这‘神算子’又干成了一件大事！”
    
    　　威廉姆斯的评价也反映了外界对热火休赛期运作的普遍看法。在引进字母哥后，热火一直在寻求外线投射的补强。

二 | 克莱的加盟将有效拉开进攻空间，为字母哥和巴姆·阿德巴约创造更多内线操作余地。加上此前签下的小蒂姆·哈达威，热火的外线火力得到了显著提升。
    
    　　现年36岁的克莱上赛季场均贡献11.7分，三分命中率38.3%。尽管数据较巅峰期有所下滑，但他作为历史顶级射手的牵制力和季后赛经验仍不容小觑。对于热火而言，这笔签约被视为今夏补齐争冠拼图的关键一步。克莱若能保持健康并在新角色中发挥稳定，热火在东部的竞争力将再度升级。
