臺兒莊古城一減速帶間距太密集 被路人笑稱'搓衣板路'

They are usually reserved for impatient drivers in built-up, urban areas. But a picturesque beauty spot in eastern China installed speed bumps for pedestrians.

減速帶本來是在建築林立的城市裏爲沒有耐心的司機設置的，但是中國東部一個風景如畫的風景區卻爲行人設置了這一裝置。

Local officials in the town of Taierzhuang have installed 50 so-called 'calming devices' to slow human traffic at one particular point.

臺兒莊古城景區的當地政府，在某段路上設置了50個所謂的“減速設施”，來降低人羣的行走速度。

Dubbed 'washboard road' because of its passing resemblance to a traditional hand-held washboard, it stretches for 100 metres.

這條路長達100米，有一個綽號是“搓衣板路”，因爲它確實非常像傳統的手拿洗衣板。

It's believed the speed bumps, which are located at the historic site's pedestrian entrance, are designed to encourage greater appreciation of its beauty and heritage.

設置於該歷史景區遊客入口的減速帶，被認爲是用來鼓勵遊客停下來欣賞景區的文化和美景的。

Images shared on social media by People's Daily China last Tuesday showed scores of people trying to navigate the steps. Naturally, they garnered quite a reaction from surprised followers.

上週二，《中國人民日報》在社交媒體上分享的照片顯示出大量的遊客正在穿過減速帶。理所當然，這些照片收到了很多驚訝的關注者的回覆。

One wrote: 'Who would drive on this road? It's clearly to prevent people from slipping,' while another person chimed in: 'What's wrong with this? Once it snows, you'll see the use for this.'

一位網友寫道：“誰會想開車走這條路？這條路是爲了不讓人滑倒設計的吧。”另一位網友附和說：“這條路沒什麼不好的，等到下雪的時候你就能看到它的作用了。”

Ironically, however, the distinctive black-and-yellow designs are in stark contrast to the natural beauty of the site, which is located on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

然而諷刺的是，這個突出的黑黃相間設計與坐落在京杭大運河上的景區的自然美景形成了鮮明的對比。

Famous for its classic bridges and old water transport system, it also boasts traditional temples and the architecture of a previous age. It's also the site of the Battle of Tai'erzhuang, a 1938 conflict between the armies of the Republic of China and Japan.

該景區以其傳統的橋樑和水運系統著名，而且還有一些傳統寺廟和古代建築。同時，這個景區還是1938年中日臺兒莊大戰的遺址。
