(单词翻译:单击)
As Chinese cities have started to resemble their glitzy Western counterparts, with modern designs and
skyscrapers1 wrapped in glass,
aesthetic2 beauty has brought with it this
hidden danger.
随着中国城市纷纷开始向闪耀的西方都市看齐,现代设计和玻璃围裹的摩天大楼随之而来,这些富有美学意味的美景也带来了安全隐患。
Hidden danger就是“隐藏的危险”,即“安全隐患”。近几年,发生在不少城市的road cave-in(路面塌陷)、falling glass curtain walls(玻璃幕墙跌落)、falling
advertising3 billboards(广告牌跌落)、flooding caused by
antiquated4 and underdeveloped drainage systems(老旧落后排水系统导致的积水洪灾)等事件都属于城市安全隐患。
专业人士指出,虽然很多城市都建立了early warning system(预警系统)和emergency response systems(应急系统),但真正应该关注的是如何eliminate the hidden danger(消除安全隐患)。
