進入中英對照讀新聞／Batman hit by Hong Kong pollution香港的污染打敗蝙蝠俠
Batman might cut a superhuman figure as he fights off evil-doers to save the world, but Hong Kong’s polluted harbour is, apparently, one death-defying stunt too far.
蝙蝠俠或許是能夠打敗壞人、拯救世界的超人，但香港的污染顯然太過嚴重，連不怕死的蝙蝠俠都不敢在這裡表演特技。
Producers shooting the next Batman movie have been forced to cut one scene involving the caped crusader -- played by Christian Bale -- jumping out of a plane into the city’s famed Victoria Harbour.
正拍攝新一部蝙蝠俠電影的製片人，最近被迫刪除片中一段讓這位披風戰士（由克里斯汀．貝爾飾演）從飛機上跳入香港著名的維多利亞港的場景。
According to the South China Morning Post, producers felt the poor water quality was just too dangerous for the action hero when shooting for part of the film takes place here.
根據南華早報報導說，在香港拍攝蝙蝠俠新片時，製片們認為港裡的水質對於這位動作英雄來說實在太危險了。
"There was supposed to be a scene where Batman jumps out of the back of a Hercules C-130 and into Victoria Harbour," one source was quoted as saying. "But when they checked a water sample, they found all sorts of things, salmonella and tuberculosis, so it was cancelled. Now the action will cut to inside a building," the source added.
報導中引述一位消息人士的話說，「片中本來有一幕是蝙蝠俠從C-130力士型運輸機的後方縱身一躍，跳進維多利亞港裡。」「但他們檢測水質樣本後，發現了各式各樣的東西，包括沙門氏桿菌、結核菌等等，所以只好取消，現在這段戲會改在大樓內拍攝。」
A spokeswoman for Hong Kong’s Environmental Protection Department admitted that harbour water was not suitable for swimming due to untreated sewage, the newspaper said.
該報報導說，香港環保署一名女發言人坦承，港內的海水因含有未經處理的污水，的確不適合游泳。
