很多人路過正在施工的柏油馬路時都會加快腳步，因為受不了那種難聞的氣味。不過以后你可能不必再忍受了。近日俄羅斯一家公司試驗用草莓味柏油材料鋪設了一段道路，這種柏油路不但不難聞，還有甜甜的草莓味。

A company in Russia’s Leningrad region recently laid a small section of strawberry-scented asphalt as an experiment to help solve the problem of unpleasant odors.

俄羅斯列寧格勒地區(qū)的一家公司最近鋪設了一小段草莓味柏油馬路，這一試驗工程是為了幫助解決柏油馬路氣味難聞的問題。

I don’t know if you’ve ever smelled hot asphalt when road sections are being laid or fixed, but it’s not the most appealing odor in the world. Luckily, we may not have to put up with it for much longer, as companies are beginning to come up with solutions to this issue. Just a few months after a Polish company came up with floral-scented asphalt to improve working conditions for the people working with it on a daily basis, a Russian company has successfully laid a 700-meter-long stretch of road using strawberry-scented asphalt.

不知道你是否聞過正在鋪設過程中的熱乎乎的柏油馬路的氣味，但這絕不是世界上最好聞的氣味。幸運的是，我們可能不用再長時間忍受這種氣味了，因為有些公司已經(jīng)開始想辦法解決這個問題了。波蘭的一家公司前不久剛推出一種花香柏油來改善修路工人的日常勞動條件，短短幾個月后，俄羅斯的一家公司就用草莓味柏油成功鋪就了一段700米長的道路。

"The contractor came up with this solution, this was their own initiative,” Russia’s Interfax news agency announced. “Many people do not like the smell of overheated bitumen, which spreads during the repair process, so they decided to try it.”

俄羅斯國際文傳電訊社宣稱：“承包商想出了這個解決辦法，這是他們自己主動提出的。許多人不喜歡修路過程中散發(fā)出的熱乎乎的柏油味道，于是他們決定嘗試一下?！?/p>

Laid on June 30th, in Leningrad’s Vsevolozhsk district, the 700-meter-long strawberry-scented asphalt road is part of Russia’s Safe High-Quality Roads national project. About 300 tons of strawberry-scented asphalt mix were produced for this experiment.

6月30日在列寧格勒弗謝沃洛日斯克區(qū)鋪就的這條700米長的草莓味柏油路是俄羅斯安全優(yōu)質(zhì)道路國家工程的一部分。承包商為這次試驗生產(chǎn)了約300噸草莓味柏油混合材料。

It’s unclear how successful the experiment actually was, or how long the scent of strawberries lasted, but the contractor did mention that the strawberry scent does not affect the quality of the asphalt at all.

目前還不清楚這次試驗有多成功，也不知道草莓味能持續(xù)多久，但是承包商明確提到草莓味絕對不會影響柏油質(zhì)量。
