这是一个炎热的8月天,艾奥瓦州博览会的会场里,几百名参观者排着队来观赏诺玛·列昂工作,她却冻得瑟瑟发抖——因为70岁的她正坐在一个温度接近霜点的冷冻玻璃房里,用一把木刀小心地雕刻着她的作品。这项工作已经进行了两个星期,就要完成了。这件作品描写的是《最后的晚餐》的情景,耶稣和十二门徒都有真人大小,纤毫毕现——而她所用的材料是2000磅美国顶级黄油。虽然受寒冷之苦,诺玛却是满面笑容:“我真喜欢这件工作,它已经成为我生活中不可缺少的一部分。” It was a hot August day and hundreds of visitors lined up to watch Norma Leong work in the Iowa Expo venue but she was shivering frozen - because she was seated at 70 In a glass frit that is near the frost point, carefully carve her work with a wooden knife. This work has been going on for two weeks and will be completed. The work portrays the scene of The Last Supper, where both Jesus and the Twelve have a life-size shot - and the material she uses is 2000 pounds of top American butter. Norma, though suffering from the cold, smiles: “I really like this job and it has become an integral part of my life.”
