According to the National Park Service, the statue is made of thirty tons of copper - enough to make 435 million pennies.
美国国家公园管理局称,自由女神像由30吨铜打造而成,这些铜足以制造4.35亿枚美分硬币。
'In her first few decades in the Big Apple, the statue slowly turned from that shiny copper color to a dull brown and the, finally, to the blue-green, or as they'd say back in France, 'verdigris' we see today,' said the video's narrator.
该视频的解说员说:“在自由女神像入驻纽约市的头几十年,女神像慢慢地从闪亮的古铜色变成了暗淡的棕色,最后变成了我们今天看到的蓝绿色,或者法国人所谓的‘铜绿色’。”
When it changed color, some officials suggested restoring her back to her original color, but after the public protested against this decision, she was left the way she is.
自由女神像最初变色时,一些官员建议将其还原成最初的颜色,但是公众对这个决定表示抗议,于是女神像的这个颜色就保留了下来。
The statue's color change was as a result of oxidation reactions between copper and the air.
自由女神像变色是铜和空气氧化反应的结果。
But it was more than one reaction - the color change is due to about 30 years worth of different reactions leading to a mixture of greenish minerals.
