Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is more than a monument（纪念碑）. She is a beloved friend, a living symbol of freedom to millions around the world. These exhibits are a tribute（颂歌） to the people who created her, to those who built and paid for her, to the ideals she represents, and to the hopes she inspires（激发）.
