長安街“整修” face-lift
[ 2009-08-28 15:34 ]
歷時(shí)5個(gè)月的長安街道路大修工程于近日全部完工。修葺一新的長安街首次實(shí)現(xiàn)了雙向十車道的規(guī)劃設(shè)計(jì),大大提升了道路的通行能力,將成為60周年國慶閱兵儀式的“主戰(zhàn)場”。
請看新華社的報(bào)道:
Beijing's main road, the Chang’an Avenue, is getting a makeover ahead of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in October. The avenue received its last face-lift in 1999 for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of PRC.
在今年十月中華人民共和國建國60周年前夕, 北京市主干道長安街正進(jìn)行全新整修。長安街上次整修是在1999年為慶祝50周年國慶而進(jìn)行的。
在上面的報(bào)道中,face-lift就是指“整修、翻新、改造”,對一座城市來說就是指“市容改造”。此外,face-lift還常用來表示“整容;改版”。例如:Calvin has had a face-lift and looks much younger(卡爾文做了面部整容手術(shù),看起來年輕多了);His favorite newspaper is to get a face-lift as of January 1 next year.(他最愛看的一份報(bào)紙將于明年1月1日起改版)。
據(jù)報(bào)道,長安街整修之后,不僅replace lights(更換了路燈), phone booths(電話亭), trash cans(垃圾桶), newspaper billboards(新聞公告欄), bus signs(公交站牌) and benches(長椅) on both sides of the road,還whitewash exteriors of buildings along the thoroughfare.(粉刷了沿路建筑的外墻)。
