On Tuesday, the enigmatic British street artist Banksy unveiled his latest public work. Art fans hoping to check out the Underground graffiti for themselves are out of luck, however, as Transport for London cleaners scrubbed the spray paint away before Banksy even announced it.
神秘的英國街頭藝術家班克西，週二發表他的最新公開作品。然而，希望親眼看看這幅地鐵塗鴉的藝術迷無法如願，因為班克西都還沒公布新作，這些塗鴉就被倫敦交通局清潔人員清除了。
Apparently, the workers were "unaware" the black-and-teal paint on the Circle Line carriage was left by the artist, and thus "it was treated like any other graffiti on the network."
工作人員顯然「不知道」在該列環狀線車廂裡的黑—青色圖畫出自這名藝術家之手，因此「被當作如地鐵上其他的塗鴉處理」。
It also seems likely Banksy, who isn’t one to shy away from creating temporary art, knew the work wasn’t going to last long.
不怕創作只能曇花一現的班克西，似乎也可能知道這幅作品不能維持很久。
