法国将不义之财归还被抢掠的中国！网友：雨果的文字成真了

当地时间4月13日，法国国民议会以170票赞成、0票反对通过一项法案，将简化法国在殖民时期掠夺所得文物的归还程序。

French lawmakers in the National Assembly on Monday passed a bill to simplify the return of artworks and other prized artefacts looted during the country's colonial era to their countries of origin, France 24 reported.

loot v．抢劫，掠夺

议员热雷米·帕特里耶-莱图斯发言时，说到法国文豪维克多·雨果的梦想：“法兰西能脱胎换骨，将不义之财归还被抢掠的中国”，他直言“这一天终于到来”。

French lawmaker Jérémie Patrier-Leitus posted a video on Monday of his speech regarding the passing of the bill, referencing French writer Victor Hugo's letter in 1861 to Captain Butler about the sack of the Summer Palace in Beijing that"One day will come when France, once freed and cleansed, will return this plunder to looted China."

该法案适用范围是1815年至1972年间法国获取的文物。法国国民议会与参议院达成一致后进入最终表决程序。此外，议员们还投票通过条款，要求政府每年公布涉嫌非法获取文物清单。

The new measure specifically targets objects acquired between 1815 and 1972, according to RFI.

Lawmakers also voted for the French government to publish an annual list of works that may have been acquired illicitly, in order to ensure better information for requesting states, per France 24.
