在美术馆遗失1个菠萝，结果被当成艺术品

A student from Aberdeen has done Tracey Emin and the like no favours by leaving a pineapple at an art exhibition as a prank before later discovering it had been mistaken for art.

阿伯丁市（位于苏格兰）的一名学生在一个艺术展上留下了一只菠萝，后来发现这只菠萝竟被人当成了艺术品。

Ruairi Gray, 22, had bought the pineapple as a ‘joke’ but discovered later that it had been put on show in a glass display case in the centre of the exhibition at Robert Gordon University.

瑞雷·格雷今年22岁，他买那只菠萝纯属“开玩笑”，不过后来发现这只菠萝被放在罗伯特戈登大学展览中心的玻璃展示柜上展出。

The prank worked so flawlessly that the piece of fruit was apparently on display for six days before it was taken down with the rest of the exhibition.

这场恶作剧简直天衣无缝，菠萝整整展出了六天，才和其它展品一道撤下来。

‘We were stuck with this pineapple, we didn’t know what to do with it, until we saw this empty art display. Our goal was to see how long it would remain there before being removed,’ he said.

“那会儿我们正不知道怎么处置这只菠萝，突然就看到了这个空白艺术的展览。”他说，“我们想看看菠萝可以放在那里多久。”

After placing the pineapple on the empty display stand on a Thursday, the fourth year business and information technology student returned four days later to find it had been put in a glass display box.
