中国一山村依靠“铁笼索道”出行18年，英国网友看了后感慨万分

China's dangerous iron cages which take villagers across a river at 850 feet high are set to retire after serving the remote community for 18 years

中国危险的铁笼子，搭载村民从河流上空850英尺经过，用了18年后将停止服务

For nearly two decades, hundreds of residents on a remote mountain in China have been relying on several tiny iron cages to make their daily commutes.

The rusty cable cars, dangling hundreds of feet above a raging river, are their gateway to the outside world.

过去大约20年，中国边远山区几百位村民每天一直依赖几个铁笼子出行。

生锈的缆车，悬挂在湍急河流几百英尺上空。这些缆车是通往外部世界的大门。

After thousands of risky rides, residents at the Yingge village could finally bid farewell to the perilous form of transport as the last iron cage is about to retire, according to Chinese media.

The 853-foot-high ropeway, dubbed the 'highest cable car system in Asia', will halt its service because the government is building a new bridge nearby to serve the local community.

Built in 1999, the ropeway is suspended over the 1,540-foot-wide Jinsha River, which is notorious for its fast currents.

据报道，经过数以千次的冒险搭乘后，随着最后一个铁笼子即将退休，莺歌村村民最终要向这种危险的交通形式告别了。

这条853英尺高的索道，被称为“亚洲最高的缆车系统”，即将停止服务，因为政府正在附近修建一座新大桥。

这条铁笼索道建于1999年，下面是1540英尺宽的金沙河，而金沙河以河水湍急著称。

The ropeway was built by 10 families from the isolated Yingge village of Yunnan province. It sends residents to the Fengjiaping village on the opposite Sichuan province.

这条铁笼索道，是由莺歌村的10户家庭出资建成。主要是为了方便到达对面的冯家坪村，从而与外界联系。

就是修好的那座桥，我也不会从上面走过的（何况那条索道）

China can build a bridge in a few days. Over here it takes boris 3 years countless millions and still no bridge. Now where did that money go boris.

中国几天就能造好一座桥。

而英国要3年，耗费巨资，而且还看不到桥。

钱都哪里去了

能不能别那么危险

China can build a bridge for a small remote community. London, supposedly one of the World's top 5 cities, is split in half for 8 miles because no politician will get a bridge built in East London.

中国能为边远山区的村建一座桥。

而据说是世界前5大城市之一的伦敦，居然被分开了，没有哪位政客愿意在东伦敦修一座桥

当然，并非所有美国人都是肥胖的。

It looks the sort of thing I give would a miss, but would still seriously like to try if I had the courage.

这种东西，我不会尝试的

有勇气的话，可能会尝试

Apparently sales of laxatives fell since they opened that rope-way.

显然，自从索道开放后，泻药的销量下降了

Looks hilariously in sane. Yet it has worked for 18 years. The 6 passengers look relieved - they made it - also this time. Can do attitude.

看起来挺滑稽的

居然还用了18年

那6名乘客看起来很放心。

他们做到了

为什么每日邮报说这是危险的。

有人因为搭乘而遇难吗？
