介绍（中）	这个画廊周围的十个建筑支架上充满了恶作剧和幽默。裸体扮鬼脸的杂技演员摔跤，猛烈地拉扯对方的胡子；一只咆哮的野兽骄傲地宣称自己有一块骨头。类似的恶作剧，有时令人费解的图案经常出现在教堂外面屋顶屋檐下的牛腿上大教堂位于西班牙北部圣地牙哥-德孔波斯特拉圣地的一条路线上。毗邻一片大森林（其名称来源于silva major），俯瞰吉伦特河，其社区从1079年成立时的七名僧侣发展到约300名。修道院受益于著名赞助人的捐赠，包括1156年阿基坦的埃莉诺和英国国王亨利二世的礼物。法国大革命后，修道院建筑被用作监狱。教堂拱顶于1809年倒塌，1910年的一场大火进一步破坏了教堂。尽管如此，一些相关的牛腿仍然保留在教堂的外部。
介绍（英）	Mischief and humor abound on the ten architectural supports set around the perimeter of this gallery. Naked grimacing acrobats wrestle and pull violently at each others’ beards; a snarling beast proudly claims a bone. Similar mischievous, and sometimes mystifying, motifs are often found on corbels set just under the eaves of the roof on the outside of a church. Notre-Dame-de-la-Grande-Sauve, the church from which these corbels come, was situated on one of the routes to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Set next to a great forest (the silva major from which its name comes) and dominating a hill overlooking the Gironde River, its community grew from seven monks at its founding in 1079 to some 300. The abbey benefited from donations from famous patrons, including a gift from Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Henry II king of England, in 1156. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, the monastic buildings served as a prison. The church vaults collapsed in 1809, and a fire in 1910 further compromised the site. Still, some related corbels survive on the church exterior.
