LITTLETON Colo. (AP) — It's not pranksters or vandals who placed toilet paper all over the streets of Littleton Colorado it was city workers.

科罗拉多州立德顿市（美联社）----在科罗拉多州立德顿市的街道上铺满厕纸，这事可不是捣蛋鬼或者破坏狂干的，而是市政工人的杰作。

The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/2e9pIlw ) that Littleton crews have used bathroom tissue to help seal up cracks along more than 120 streets.

丹佛邮报（http://dpo.st/2e9pIlw ）报道，立德顿的人员在120多条街道上用厕纸来辅助补路。

Officials say toilet paper was applied with a paint roller over freshly laid tar used to fill asphalt cracks. The paper absorbs the oil from the tar as it dries keeping it from sticking to pedestrian's shoes or car and bike tires. The biodegradable paper will break down and be gone in a few days.

官员们说，新浇了沥青后，就用油漆滚筒把厕纸铺满路面，用来填充沥青裂缝。厕纸吸走了沥青里的油份后，在沥青变干时可以避免它粘到行人的鞋子上，或者汽车和自行车的轮胎上。可生物降解的纸张数天后就会分解消失。

Littleton spokeswoman Kelli Narde says the toilet paper allows traffic to retake the road more quickly.

立德顿市新闻发言人科里.纳德说，厕纸可以更快地让路面修复，恢复正常交通。

Since this was a government operation I'm sure whatever vendor they used gave them a great deal on the toilet paper probably around 50 bucks per roll.

鉴于这是政府行为，我敢肯定不管供应商是谁，他们提供的大量厕纸大概在50美分一卷左右

Hey street repair guys they have several types of powdered material like clays that are made for this purpose.
Toilet Paper is expensive and you just went through City Hall's entire 2017 budget for toilet paper. 
Now what are the city hall politicians going to use?

有很多种的粉末材料可以用，比如黏土。厕纸是很贵的，该市2017年的厕纸预算都用完了。
接下来这些市政府官员要用什么来擦屁股？

We used to shovel sand over the new surface repair. That way the car tires would not pick it up. That was over 30 years ago.

以前我们用沙子来覆盖表面。这样就不会沾染到轮胎了。那是30年前的事情了。

By the comments here ( I should have read them before I posted the first time) it must be news to people here.....it is a biodegradable way to keep the tar fillers from getting on vehicles or being pulled up by the tires before it hardens. I have seen this done for years and years in construction in my area.......and you do not have to come back to sweep it up like you would sand or other material.

根据我在这里所看到的评论，这种做法对于本网站上的人来说一定很新鲜吧。（在我首次发帖之前，我本该先阅读一下这些评论的）
这是一种可生物降解的方法，用于防止尚未硬化的沥青填料沾在车胎上或是被车胎给掀起来。这种方法在我们这里的建筑施工中已经采用了许多年，而且与使用沙子或者其他覆盖材料不同，你不必再回过头来进行清扫。（注：因为纸会自动降解消失）

'Littleton crews have used bathroom tissue to help seal up cracks along more than 120 streets'
They have used or have used 'used' bathroom tissue? There's a big difference.

“立德顿市的市政工人已经使用了厕纸来帮助修补120多条街道上的裂缝”（注：这位评论者认为原文中的该句子有歧义）
是“他们已经使用了厕纸”还是“他们使用了已经用过的厕纸”？ 这两者可是有很大的区别啊。
