英國皇家鑄幣廠硬幣的反面或反面設計是向以溫斯頓史密斯為主角的反烏托邦小說《1984》致敬

A new £2 coin has been released by the Royal Mint to mark 75 years since the death of George Orwell.

英國皇家造幣廠發行了一枚新的 2 英鎊硬幣，以紀念喬治·奧威爾逝世 75 週年。

The reverse or tails design of the coin pays tribute to 1984, Orwell's dystopian novel centred around the character of Winston Smith, who lives in a society restricted by totalitarian rule and mass surveillance.

硬幣的反面或反面設計是向《1984》致敬，這是奧威爾的反烏托邦小說，以溫斯頓史密斯的角色為中心，他生活在一個受到極權統治和大規模監視的社會中。

Coin artist Henry Gray created what appears to be an eye but is a camera lens at the centre of the design with the quote "Big Brother is watching you" encircles the camera lens, while the coin’s edge inscription bears another quote: “There was truth and there was untruth.”

硬幣藝術家亨利·格雷（Henry Gray）在設計的中心創造了一個看似眼睛但實際上是相機鏡頭的東西，相機鏡頭周圍寫著“老大哥在看著你”，而硬幣的邊緣銘文還刻有另一句話：“曾經有真相”並且有不實之處。

The Royal Mint has previously included William Shakespeare, Jane Austen and JRR Tolkien on its £2 coins.

英國皇家造幣廠此前曾在其 2 英鎊硬幣上印有威廉·莎士比亞、簡·奧斯汀和 JRR 托爾金的作品。

Orwell, who was born in India in 1903 and died in London in 1950, is best known for his novels 1984 and Animal Farm.

奧威爾於 1903 年出生於印度，1950 年逝世於倫敦，以小說《1984》和《動物農莊》而聞名。

His works are still being studied today - decades on from their first publication.

他的作品自首次出版以來已有數十年，至今仍在研究中。

The new coin will be available to buy in brilliant uncirculated, gold proof and silver proof versions from the Royal Mint's website at 9am on Wednesday, January 15 with prices starting at £17.50.

新硬幣將於 1 月 15 日星期三上午 9 點在皇家造幣廠網站上發售，有精美的未流通、精製金幣和精製銀幣版本，起價為 17.50 英鎊。

From January 20, visitors to the Royal Mint Experience in Llantrisant, South Wales will also be able to strike their own George Orwell £2 collectable coin.

從 1 月 20 日起，參觀南威爾斯蘭特里森特皇家造幣廠體驗館的遊客還可以鑄造自己的喬治·奧威爾 2 英鎊收藏硬幣。

Orwell, whose real name was Eric Blair, highlighted social injustices through his work.

奧威爾的真名是艾瑞克·布萊爾，透過他的作品強調了社會不公現象。

His lasting influence and impact on society can be heard in language used today with the term “Orwellian” often used to describe destructive regimes where the truth is being distorted and personal freedoms are being eroded.

他對社會的持久影響和影響可以從今天使用的語言中聽到，「奧威爾式」一詞經常被用來描述真相被扭曲、個人自由受到侵蝕的破壞性政權。

Meanwhile, the term "Big Brother" is also commonly used to describe situations where people lack privacy or where they are being severely controlled.

同時，「老大哥」一詞也常被用來形容人們缺乏隱私或受到嚴格控制的情況。
