Vatican Guards Get New 3D Printed Helmets 梵蒂冈卫队拥有3D打印新头盔 2019-02-03 The guards in charge of protecting Pope Francis and the Vatican grounds have received new high-tech helmets. The new helmets are made of plastic material created through 3- D printing technology. Previously, guard members wore handmade helmets made of metal. 负责保卫教皇弗朗西斯和梵蒂冈国土的卫队获得了新的高科技头盔，新头盔采用塑 料材料，通过3D打印技术制造而成。以前，卫队成员都戴着手工制作的金属头盔。 The helmets were given to the Vatican’s Swiss Guard on January 22, the group’s 513th birthday. They are the colorfully dressed security force that helps protect the pope. 这些头盔是在1月22日，也就是梵蒂冈瑞士卫队成立513周年，发放给这支卫队的。卫 队成员穿着华丽，负责保护教皇。 The force numbers about 110 people. Members are required to be male, Catholic, unmarried and have Swiss citizenship, the Catholic website Crux reports. They must be between the ages of 19 and 30, at least 1.7 meters tall, and be willing to serve in the guard for at least two years. 卫队人数约110人。据天主教网站Crux报道，其成员必须是男性、天主教徒、未婚并 拥有瑞士公民身份。年龄须在19到30岁之间，身高不低于1.7米，并愿意在卫队中服役至 少两年。 The helmets are part of the Swiss Guard’s ceremonial clothing. These official uniforms include yellow, red and blue stripes on the parts covering the arms and legs. Guard members dress this way for official religious services by the pope or for Vatican visits by heads of state. 头盔是瑞士卫队仪仗服的一部分。这些正式制服的手臂和腿部都被红黄蓝的条纹覆 盖。卫队成员在教皇的官方宗教仪式或他国元首访问梵蒂冈时这样穿戴。 The new helmets look almost exactly like the old ones, with a round design and colorful bird feathers on top. One major change was added to the new helmets –an image with the coat of arms symbol for Pope Julius II. Pope Julius II first used the security force for his personal protection in 1506. 新头盔看上去几乎与旧款一样，圆形设计、顶部有彩色羽毛。但是新头盔增加了一 项重大变化，增添了教皇朱利叶斯二世的徽章。1506年，教皇朱利叶斯二世首次使用安 全部队进行个人保护。 Urs Breitenmoser is a spokesman for the Swiss Guard. He told Reuters one the biggest improvements of the new helmets is that they will not heat up as much as the metal ones. This means the guards will sweat less, he said. 乌尔斯·布莱特莫瑟是瑞士卫队的发言人。他告诉路透社，新头盔
