Once that duty has been fulfilled, a logical person will understand that the Parthenon Marbles, long held by a former imperial power’s flagship museum, were violently severed from the rest of the Parthenon sculptures – an outrage against art and an unhealed scar inflicted by the British on the long-suffering Greek people. At that point, only one conclusion is possible: The plundered Marbles must be reunited in their historical home and exhibited to the world as the ancient artists intended.
一旦履行了这项义务，理性的人就应该明白由曾几何时的帝国主义代表性博物馆长期把持的帕台农神庙大理石浮雕被与其余帕台农神庙雕塑硬生生地割裂开来——这是对艺术的粗暴践踏，也是英国在多灾多难的希腊人民尚未愈合的伤口上又撒了一把盐。因此，只有一个可能的结论：被夺走的大理石雕像必须回归其历史家园，按照古代艺术家的意愿向全世界展出。
