Artists create 'world's biggest mural' asthey cover a whole STREET of apartment blocks in imaginative designs 艺术家创造出“世界上最大壁画”：这幅壁画把整条街道上的公寓大楼都覆盖住了
With its colourful depiction of trees, flowers, birds and animals, it'scertainly an unusual way to brighten up an otherwise drab block of flats.
绘上这些多彩的树木、花朵、鸟以及动物，的确让本来黯淡的墙壁变得活泼多了。
And this vivid mural could well be thebiggest of its kind in the world, covering an impressive 20,000 square metresof Berlin wall.
这种壁画可以说是同类事物中最大型的了，覆盖了两万平方米的柏林墙。
Created by French company CitéCréation, the mural features birds, bears and evenimaginary residents interacting with the painted wildlife that adorns theWohngenossenschaft Soldaritaet Coop apartments in the German capital.
这是法国公司CitéCréation所造，上面有动物，还有想象中的居民，一起互动着，描绘在德国首都柏林的几座公寓上。
The impressive work, which the Lyon-based company describes as a trompe-l'oeil,or urban design, was inspired by a nearby zoo.
这个令人印象深刻的作品被这家里昂公司称为trompe-l'oeil，或者称为城市设计，灵感来自附近的一个动物园。
CitéCréation, which employs around 80artists at its offices worldwide, has created almost 600 'monumental frescoes'in cities across the globe.
该公司在全球范围内拥有80名艺术工作者，在全球范围内已经创造了大约600幅壁画作品。
Art enthusiasts can see creations by thefirm in Paris, Lisbon, Jerusalem, Yokohama and Quebic among other places.

Every type of building from municipal housing, derelict factories and even anoil refinery have been given a new lease of life by the team.
这些壁画载体包括城市住宅，被遗弃的工厂，甚至还包括一处炼油厂，都被赋予了新生。
The company even has another beautifulcreation across Berlin - the Fresques Flower Tower makes another block of apartmentslook far more attractive than they might have done.
该公司在柏林还有另外一个作品——Fresques花塔让另外一处公寓楼看起来更加具有吸引力。
Employees hope that the fruits of their labour will find its way into therecord books - they have applied to the Guinness Book of World Records in thehope that their work might be recognised as the largest mural on an inhabitedbuilding on the planet.
这些艺术家希望他们的劳动成果能够载入世界纪录——他们已经向《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》提出申请，希望他们的作品能够被认证为世界上最大的有人居住的建筑壁画。
The record for the world's largest outdoormural is currently held by the Pueblo Levee Project in Pueblo,Colorado.
世界上最大室外壁画的保持者是位于美国科罗拉州普韦布洛市的Pueblo Levee项目。
That mural has seen thousands of artistscontribute their work since the 1970s depicting everything from the History ofWomen to Andy Warhol replicas.
这幅壁画从上世纪70年代开始制作，数以千计的艺术家参与其中，内容无所不包，从《女性历史》到安迪 沃霍尔的复制品。
It costs nothing to add your own bit tothat mural and currently only recycled paint is allowed to be used.
如果你想贡献一点那也是没问题的，目前，只能使用那种回收利用的涂料。

This well be a norm going by the rate ofdeforestation.The only memories we shall have about nature will be on paintingsand photos.Love the art though - kenneth, Chililabombwe, 09/9/2013 05:52
随着森林砍伐的速度，倒是可以经常创作这些壁画来给人以自然的感觉。我们唯一关于自然的印象将主要从图画和照片上获取了。喜欢这种艺术。
Fantastic, it will give people pleasurewhen they leave their flats - Aviator, Liverpool, United Kingdom, 09/9/2013 05:46
太棒了，当居民们从公寓里出来，这些壁画就可以给人以愉悦的感受。
It looks like something that you would seein North Korea. - Me ,London, 09/9/2013 05:09

I think it looks amazing, very very clever.The only downside is that the car park look extra dull now!! - FatWord, Greatest Britain, 09/9/2013 04:43
我觉得这看起来太迷人了，非常非常的清晰。现在看起来，底下的停车场倒给人以一种无趣的感觉。
"The Lyon-based company describes itswork as a trompe-l'oeil, or urban design" ---- Does DM not have access togoogle? "Trompe-l'¿il . . . French for deceive the eye . . . is an arttechnique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion thatdepicted objects exist in three dimensions." Wikipedia. "Urban designis the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages."Again, Wikipedia. Trompe-l'oeil and urban design arenot the same thing, DM! - Teresa, Cape Town, 09/9/2013 04:37
“这个令人印象深刻的作品被这家里昂公司称为trompe-l'oeil，或者称为当代设计。” 每日邮报难道都不会去谷歌一下吗？“Trompe-l'¿il在法语中指的是‘欺骗眼睛’，是一种艺术手法——通过使用现实主义的意象来产生视错觉，而所描绘的意象存在于三维中。”而维基百科中对城市设计的解释是：“城市设计是设计和塑造城市、城镇以及村庄的过程。”这些维基百科里面都有啊。每日邮报啊，Trompe-l'oeil和城市设计可是两回事啊！
So beautiful!! - commenter8, London, United Kingdom, 09/9/2013 04:25
很漂亮啊！！
Cool, but wouldn't it get tiresome pickingup all the dead birds from the sidewalk after they fly into this? - Randy, Calgary, Canada, 09/9/2013 04:00
很酷啊，但是会不会有很多鸟儿以为这是真的而撞死在墙上啊？到时候关捡这些死鸟就很烦人了啊。
