据美国福克斯新闻、《纽约邮报》等外媒24日报道，瑞典“环保少女”格蕾塔·通贝里最近因与环保组织“反抗灭绝”一起将意大利威尼斯大运河染成亮绿色，而被禁止进入威尼斯48小时并被处以172美元的罚款。
Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports.
The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action.

综合上述外媒报道，根据该环保组织的说法，通贝里及其35名同伴使用的染料是荧光无毒追踪剂，这种染料常用于环境研究中的水流追踪与泄漏监测。该环保组织称染料不会对生态环境造成威胁，他们还称这一举动旨在“引起人们对气候崩溃所带来的影响的关注”，并指出由于海平面上升和洪水愈发频繁，威尼斯是欧洲最脆弱的城市之一。
Extinction Rebellion said the dye used was a fluorescent, non-toxic tracer commonly employed in environmental studies, such as tracking water flows or monitoring leaks. The group reportedly insisted the dye posed no ecological threat.
The group also argued the stunt was designed to "draw attention to the massive effects of climate collapse", and claimed that Venice is among Europe's most vulnerable cities due to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent flooding.

然而对于上述环保组织的说法，威尼斯所属威尼托区区长卢卡·扎亚称，此举是“对我们城市历史与脆弱性的不尊重行为”，并警告该行为“可能对环境造成后果”。
Zaia also criticized the action as "a disrespectful act towards our city, its history and its fragility".
格蕾塔·通贝里（Greta Thunberg），2003年1月3日出生，是瑞典的青年活动人士、政治倡导者和激进环保主义者。她因在瑞典议会外发起“气候大罢课”（Skolstrejk för klimatet），呼吁公众关注全球变暖和气候变化问题而知名，并因在COP24上的发言而进一步受到广泛关注。
