Let's just cut right to the chase

我們就直奔主題吧。

There is this ladder in Jerusalem and no matter what,you will never be allowed to move it

在耶路撒冷有一個梯子，無論如何，你都不能移動它。

and nobody else probably will either.

而其他人可能也不會。

I mean,you could move it.Nothing physically is preventing you from doing it the next time you are in Jerusalem.

我是說 你可以把它搬走 下次你來耶路撒冷的時候 沒有什麼能阻止你這麼做了

But legally,you can't.And if you did

但從法律上講 你不能這麼做 如果你這麼做的話

you might start a riot or a war.

你可能會引發騷亂或戰爭。

Why is that the case?Because of history,human nature and religion.

為什麼會這樣，因為歷史、人性和宗教。

You see,the ladder rests on a ledge just under this window above the entrance to the church of the Holy Sepulchre,

你看 梯子就在這扇窗戶下面的壁架上 You see, the ladder rests on a ledge just under this window 就在聖墓教堂的入口上方 above the entrance to the Holy Sepulchre,

in the old city of Jerusalem

在耶路撒冷老城

The church building itself,is ancient,dating back to the 4th century A.D.

教堂建築本身是古老的，可以追溯到公元4世紀。

and it claims to house the two holiest sites in Christianity.

並聲稱這裡有兩個基督教最神聖的場所。

Both the location of Jesus crucifixion and the tomb where he is said to have been buried and ressurected.

既是耶穌受難的地點，也是據說他被埋葬和復活的墳墓。

Because of these claims,the church of the Holy Sepulchre is revered by numerous Christian denominations

正因為這些說法，聖墓教堂受到眾多基督教派的推崇。

that have all placed a claim to property ownership of the building.

都對該建築的產權提出了要求。

Control of the church today is shared by 6 of these denominations

今天，教會的控制權由其中6個教派分享。

and a fiendishly complicated and confusing agreement that has been placed out for at least 160 years.

以及一份至少放置了160年的魔幻般複雜混亂的協議。

They include the Greek Orthodox,Armenian Apostolic,Roman Catholic

包括希臘東正教、亞美尼亞使徒教、羅馬天主教等。

Coptic Orthodox,Syriac Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox churches.

科普特東正教、敘利亞東正教和衣索匹亞東正教教堂。

And their agreement to share the church goes back to 1757.

而他們分享教堂的協議可以追溯到1757年。

Back then,Jerusalem was controlled by the Ottomans

當年，耶路撒冷是由奧斯曼控制的

And the Sultan at the time issued a decree that permanetly preserved the ownership of the city's Holy sites to their then current owners.

而當時的蘇丹頒佈了一項法令，將城市聖地的所有權永久保留給當時的主人。

Since the Holy Selpuchre was owned by many groups

由於神聖的塞爾普奇爾被許多團體擁有。

an understanding was established between them,that absolutely nothing in the church could be changed

他們之間建立了一種共識，即教會中的任何事情都不能改變

from the way it was when the agreement was signed without the approval of all 6 religious orders.

從協議簽署時未經所有6個教派準許的方式。

This agreement is still largely enforced today

該協議至今仍在很大程度上得到執行

and has lead to things like everybody neglecting badly needed repairs or renovations to the church building

並導致了諸如大家都忽略了教會建築亟需的維修或翻新的事情。

because the 6 orders can't agree on what the outcome would look like

因為6個命令無法就結果達成一致意見。

but it's also lead to things like the ladder,which was already there on that ledge when the agreement was made

但這也導致了像梯子這樣的事情，當協議簽訂時，梯子就已經在那壁架上了

and nobody can move anything without everyone's approval first.

而沒有大家的首肯，誰也不能亂動。

The agreement is taken so literally by the owners of the church,

堂主們對協議的字面意思如此理解。

that moving a piece of furniture,like the ladder,can spark a fight between them,

移動一件傢俱，比如梯子，會引發他們之間的爭吵。

like it did just in 2002.

就像2002年一樣。

A Coptic monk was sitting on a chair,on the roof of the building

一個科普特僧侶坐在椅子上，在樓頂上。

protesting the Ethiopian monks taking over the rooftop monastery.

抗議衣索匹亞僧侶佔領屋頂寺院。

The Coptic monk moved the chair he was sitting in,just slightly more to be in the shade

科普特僧人把他坐的椅子挪了挪，只是稍微挪了一下，以便在陰涼處。

but since the chair is considered to be jointly owned by all 6 religious orders,

但由於這把椅子被認為是所有6個教派共同擁有的。

and since he had moved it without approval from the other five,

既然他沒有經過其他五人的同意就動了手。

it was quickly considered a violation of that 1757 agreement and

它很快被認為違反了1757年的協議，並

started an all out fistfight between them where a dozen monks became injured.

開始了他們之間的全面爭鬥，十幾名修士受傷。

A similar violent event happened again in 2008,when the Armenian monks where holding a ceremony

2008年又發生了類似的暴力事件，當時亞美尼亞僧侶在舉行儀式的時候。

and wouldn't allow a Greek monk to participate with them.

而且不允許希臘僧侶和他們一起參加。

The Greeks protested by blocking the ceremony,which sparked this huge fight

希臘人抗議，阻止儀式，這引發了這場大爭鬥

that you are now seeing on screen.

你現在在螢幕上看到的。

The Israeli riot police had to be called inside the church to break up the fight

以色列防暴警察不得不被叫到教堂內，以驅散戰鬥。

and two monks got themselves arrested.

和兩個和尚被抓了起來。

There is plenty of other times that violence has errupted over seemingly minor disagreements here.

在這裡，還有很多其他的時候，因為看似微小的分歧而爆發暴力事件。

Which is part of why nobody is allowed to move the ladder.

這也是為什麼不允許任何人移動梯子的原因之一。

Nobody even knows how exactly the ladder got there or when.

甚至沒有人知道梯子到底是怎麼到那裡的，也沒有人知道什麼時候到的。

But most people assume that a mason was doing repairs around 300 yeas ago,

但大多數人都認為300年前左右有泥瓦匠在做維修。

and,you know,just kinda left it there.

然後，你知道的，就把它留在那裡了。

The ladder is shown in an engraving of the church,back from 1728.

梯子出現在1728年的教堂雕刻上。

It was mentioned in the Ottoman Sultan's edict in 1757 in is present in this photograph from sometime in the 1850s.

它是在奧斯曼蘇丹的詔書中提到的1757年在是存在於這張照片從19世紀50年代的某個時候。

So it's been there a while,but the problem is that nobody knows

所以它已經存在了一段時間，但問題是沒有人知道。

to which of the 6 Christian denominations who share the church

六大教派中的哪一個教派？

that person who left it there,belonged to.

那個把它留在那裡的人，屬於。

Because it could have been any denomination,the ladder is considered by many to be owned by all 6.

因為它可能是任何一個教派，梯子被很多人認為是所有6個教派的。

and therefore requires the approval of all 6 to be moved.

是以需要6人全部通過才能動議。

Which won't be happening any time soon.

這不會在短時間內發生。

Pope Paul VI in 1964 issued a pontifical order that the ladder

教皇保羅六世在1964年發佈了一項教皇令，要求梯子

was to permanently remain in place at the church,until the Catholic and Orthodox churches reached a state of unity.

在天主教和東正教達到統一狀態之前，教會將永久地留在那裡。

That means that,for now,the Catholics won't ever agree to moving it.

這意味著，目前，天主教徒不會同意移動它。

Which means that nobody can legally move it for just that reason.

也就是說，沒有人可以合法地移動它，就是因為這個原因。

The ladder has become a symbol to many of the divisions inside the Christian religion.

梯子已經成為基督教內部許多分裂的象徵。

And despite being refered to as the"immovable ladder",it has actually been moved a couple of times.

儘管被稱為 "不動的梯子"，但實際上它已經被移動了幾次。

In 1981 a prankster tried to move it,but was quickly stopped by the Israeli police.

1981年，一個惡作劇者試圖移動它，但很快被以色列警方阻止。

And in 1997,this guy just flat out stole the thing through the window and disappeared with it for a few weeks.

1997年 這傢伙從窗戶偷了那東西 然後帶著它消失了幾個禮拜

The ladder's movement sparked tensions between the religious communties inside,as would be expected.

梯子的運動引發了內部宗教團體之間的緊張關係，這是預料之中的。

And apparently the prankster felt pretty bad about it and returned it back to its original place.

而顯然惡作劇的人覺得很不爽，又把它送回了原處。

The last time the ladder was moved was in 2009

上一次移動梯子是在2009年。

and it was just a temporary move to clean up the area around it.

而這只是一個臨時的舉動，為了清理周圍的區域。

Like I said in the beginning,nothing is physically preventing you from moving the ladder the next time you're there,

就像我一開始說的那樣，沒有什麼能阻止你下一次移動梯子的身體。

but you probably shouldn't unless you wanna risk starting an incident or having a meeting with the police.

但你可能不應該，除非你想冒著引發事故的風險 或與警察見面。
