【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.
