Only a fraction of the money promised by donors to rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral has been paid, the Archbishop of Paris has said.

巴黎大主教表示，捐贈者承諾重建聖母院的資金只有一小部分到位。

Michel Aupetit said only €13.5m (￡11.8m) had been paid thus far, despite reports that €1bn (￡873m) had been pledged.

米歇爾?奧珀蒂表示，儘管有報道稱已認捐10億歐元（合8.73億英鎊），但迄今為止只有1350萬歐元（合1180萬英鎊）已到位。

「The famous €1bn is guaranteed by no foundation, no authority,」 he said in a statement.

他在一份聲明中表示：「傳說中的這10億歐元沒有任何根據，沒有任何權威機構提供擔保。」

The archbishop stressed that he was not calling any pledges into question but said 「the fact remains that most of these donations have not yet been made.」

大主教強調，他沒有對任何承諾提出質疑，但他說，「事實仍然是，大部分捐款尚未到位。」

His statement was a response to claims from a French heritage foundation, which has halted fundraising for the cathedral as it says enough money has been gathered.

他的聲明是對一家法國傳統基金會的說法做出的回應。該基金會表示已經籌集了足夠的資金，已經停止了對大教堂的籌款。

The Gothic cathedral which stands at the heart of Paris, was severely damaged in a fire on 15 April 2019.

這座哥特式大教堂位於巴黎市中心，2019年4月15日在一場大火中嚴重受損。

Last week the Fondation de Patrimoine, a state backed heritage group, announced that it would no longer be collecting funds for the damaged cathedral.

上周，法國文化遺產基金會宣布，將不再為受損的大教堂籌集資金。

The foundation was one of four organisations tasked with officially collecting money for Notre Dame.

該基金會是負責為聖母院正式籌款的四個組織之一。

Guillaume Poitrinal, its chair, said the group had raised nearly €900m (￡790m) and urged people to donate to other churches.

該基金會席紀堯姆?波伊特里納表示已籌集近9億歐元（合7.9億英鎊），並勸導人們向其他教堂捐款。

「We』ve got a full tank,」 he said.

「我們的目標已經達成了。」他說。

But Archbishop Aupetit disputed the account and pointed out that the cost of the restoration was still unclear.

但大主教奧珀蒂對這一說法提出質疑，並指出尚不清楚重建的費用。

「The necessary budget...is still unknown,」 he said.

「必要的預算……目前還不清楚。」

He added that €9.5m had been raised from 43,000 individual donations given by French and foreign nationals, in particular US citizens.

他補充稱，已從法國和外國公民（尤其是美國公民）的4.3萬筆個人捐款中籌集到950萬歐元。

A further four million has been given by major donors.

另外還有400萬美元由主要捐助者捐贈。

「The collection continues,」 the archbishop said. 「The needs appear considerable.」

大主教說：「籌款還在繼續。需要的費用似乎相當大。」

French companies Total and L』Oreal have promised to each donate €100m (￡87m), while the billionaire families who own LVMH Group, Kering and L』Oreal have pledged a combined total of €500m (￡435m).

法國道達爾和歐萊雅集團承諾各自捐贈1億歐元（合8700萬英鎊），而路威酩軒集團、開雲集團和歐萊雅集團背後的各大億萬富翁家族總共承諾捐贈5億歐元（合4.35億英鎊）。

Mr Poitrinal told the Liberation newspaper that he believed that the high profile figures who had pledged to donate would honour their promises.

基金會席波伊特里納先生對《解放報》表示，他相信那些承諾捐款的知名人士會兌現自己的承諾。

「I cannot believe that [they] would withdraw,」 he said.

「我認為（他們）不會反悔。」他表示。

But Franck Riester, France』s culture minister, urged caution earlier this week.

但法國文化部長弗蘭克?里斯特本周早些時候敦促要力求謹慎。

「It is premature to think that we have too much money collected,」 he said.

他說：「現在就覺得我們已經籌集了太多資金還為時過早。」
