A glass pane at Tower Bridge's new transparent walkway 140ft above the River Thames, has smashed after a visitor dropped a bottle of beer. 英国泰晤士河上的高约140英尺(约43米)的伦敦塔桥,2周之前开放了新景点--玻璃人行道,不过近日一名游客不慎掉了个啤酒瓶,然后有一块就被砸裂了。 Just two weeks after the new attraction opened, one of the six half-tonne glass panes that make up the floor, was damaged by visitors. 这段玻璃人行道,是由6块重达半吨的透明玻璃组成的,被损坏的是其中的一块。 The dropped bottle of beer caused an initial crack, but a woman walking over the broken glass in stiletto heels reportedly caused the pane to shatter further. 最初一名游客掉落的啤酒瓶在一块玻璃上砸出裂纹,随后一名穿着细高跟鞋的女子通过有裂纹的玻璃后,导致玻璃裂缝进一步扩大。 Visitor Peter Gordon tweeted an image of the broken pane, writing: 'Was in tower bridge walkway today, someone dropped a beer bottle; this happened.' 游客彼得·戈登在推特上发了一张破碎玻璃的照片,并写道:“这是塔桥的玻璃人行道,有人掉了个啤酒瓶,就成了现在这样。” Officials at the attraction have rushed to reassure visitors, stating that the broken glass was just a 'sacrificial' layer. 官方立即向游客作出解释,称破碎的玻璃只是人行道的“牺牲层”。 |
