【一句话翻译】Golden Gate Bridge puts up net for suicide deterrents

godog 2024-01-12 07:13:51 ( reads)

【汉译英 Chinese to English】

 

一群在金门大桥自杀身亡者的父母二十年来坚持不懈地倡导解决方案,但遭到了一些人的抵制,这些人不想改变这座可以对太平洋和旧金山湾一览无余的标志性地标。

 

A group of parents who lost their children to suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge relentlessly advocated for a solution for two decades, meeting resistance from people who did not want to alter the iconic landmark with its sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.

 

Notes:

(1) The installation of net was completed on Wednesday. The project cost $224M.

(2) About 2000 people have jumped to their death from the bridge since 1937.

(3) The net is made of stainless steel and is not flexible, so it will hurt a lot if someone jumps to it.

(4) If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text 988 in the US to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

纽约的帝国大厦,西雅图的SPACE NEEDLE,在观景台的栏杆上方都有额外的护栏,就怕那些想不开的

Great! Good use of "sweeping views".

是应该用过去式。我把后面的两句话重新翻译了一下,感觉这才更贴近中文意思。您的意见呢?谢谢!

谢谢Go兄指正!译的时候没有太注意时态,你说的有道理,用过去时更一致些,safer,虽然现在时可能也可以。谢谢,周末愉快
