▍原文
A man disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair has thrown cake at the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting at the Louvre in Paris.
The piece, which was undamaged, was left with white cream smeared across its protective glass. The perpetrator, seen wearing a wig and lipstick, urged people to "think of the Earth" while being led from the scene.
The incident on Sunday was described by witnesses as being “jaw-dropping”. "It was jaw-dropping, it was a lot to take in considering how historic Mona Lisa is... the moment was once in a million."

▍復(fù)述文本
I can hardly believe my eyes. There's a man disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair. He threw a cake at the Mona Lisa, at the Louvre in Paris.
Well, luckily, the piece was undamaged. It was left with white cream smeared across its protective glass. The perpetrator was wearing a wig and lipstick. He urged people to "think of the Earth" while being led from the scene.
Some witnesses said “it was jaw-dropping, it was a lot to take in considering how historic Mona Lisa is... the moment was once in a million.”
