宏途考研英语外刊阅读：南宁桥大爷，路过需低头

Angry pedestrians are fuming with traffic planners in southern China after they built a flyover so low they have to duck to walk under it.

英国每日邮报报道，广西南宁邕江上最近新建了一座大桥，由于建的过低，行人在桥下另一条路上走的时候必须要弯腰低头才能通过。报道说，令人难以置信的是，市政府竟然拒绝为此道歉，市政府发言人说，如果人们不喜欢的话，他们可以从别的地方走。
The bridge was built over the Yong river in Nanning City but pedestrians using the riverside walkway have been left with just 4ft 3ins when they pass underneath.

'If it was any lower it would be an underpass,' said one protester. 'I've seen lots of people nearly knock themselves out on it because they're not used to it,' he added.

But incredibly town hall officials have refused to apologise.
If pedestrians don't like it they can walk somewhere else.' a city spokesman said.
