中英對照讀新聞》Schwarzenegger filled a utility trench, not a pothole 史瓦辛格填補的是公共事業壕溝，而非坑洞

◎張沛元

Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for his career as both an actor and a politician. But now he has a new title under his belt: road maintenance worker.

阿諾史瓦辛格以其從影與從政的經歷聞名，但如今他又將1個新頭銜納入麾下：道路維修工。

On Tuesday, Schwarzenegger posted a video of himself filling up a hole on a California street, saying he did so because "the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks."

史瓦辛格週二貼了1段他填補在加州1條街上的坑洞的影片，說他這麼做是因為「整個社區數週來都被這個搞壞汽車與腳踏車的巨坑弄得很煩」。

However, according to the city, the "giant pothole" that Schwarzenegger said he filled on a street in his Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood was actually a trench that had been dug for an upgrade of a gas pipeline system.

然而，根據（洛杉磯）市政府，史瓦辛格說的那個位於他住的洛杉磯布倫特伍德住宅區的1條街上、被他填補起來的「巨坑」，其實是一個挖出來進行瓦斯管線系統升級的壕溝。
