不堪同心鎖重負 巴黎著名"愛情橋"垮塌
A chunk of the Pont des Arts bridge fell away on Sunday night and the police were called to seal off the area which remains closed today.
愛情橋的一大塊在週日晚上墜落，警方接到通知封鎖了該區域，到今日爲止愛情橋仍處在關閉狀態。It is a popular custom for tourists to secure a padlock to the bridge branded with their names as a romantic gesture, with Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Scott Disick also indulging in the tradition.
來到這裏的遊客，都會把刻有自己名字的鎖掛在橋上，這種浪漫的方式已經成爲流傳甚廣的風俗。美國真人秀明星考特妮·卡戴珊和男友斯考特·迪斯科就效仿過。
But the weight of the locks is damaging the metal Ponts des Arts, which was originally completed in 1804 but rebuilt in the 1980s following damage in the two World Wars.
但“同心鎖”的重量已經開始損毀金屬製的“愛情橋”，該橋始建於1804年，在兩次世界大戰期間遭到德軍轟炸被毀，最終在上個世紀80年代得以重建。A local French police spokesperson said: 'A metal grille had fallen inwards, rather than into the river. If it had landed on a passing boat, the results could have been disastrous.
法國當地警方發言人表示：“一塊鐵柵掉到了橋體內部，好在沒有掉到河裏。如果不慎落到經過的船上，結果不堪設想。”'As it happened, nobody was injured. The bridge was evacuated, and will now be closed until Monday morning at the earliest.'
“幸運的是，沒人在本次事故中受傷。目前橋上的遊客已被疏散，該區域已被關閉，最遲將於週一早上開啓。”It has become common practice for visitors to buy a padlock, attach it to a bridge, and then throw the key into the river, in Paris's case the Seine.
在巴黎這已經成爲傳統，慕名而來的遊客們都會買把鎖掛到橋上，然後把鑰匙扔到塞納河裏。A spokesman for the City Hall said: 'If the tradition continues to grow in popularity and causes too much damage to the city's monuments, solutions will be considered in a bid to address the problem.'
市政廳的一位發言人表示：“如果傳統繼續的話，來這裏的人可能會越來越多，給這座巴黎的標誌性建築造成更多的損壞。我們會致力於想辦法解決這個問題。”The pedestrian Pont des Arts, which links the Louvre Museum and the Institut de France, is an exact replica of one designed by Napoleon Bonaparte's architects in 1802.
“愛情橋” 連接着盧浮宮博物館和法蘭西學院，原建築是拿破崙時期的建築師在1802年設計建造的，目前的這座橋是複製品。
