2010-05-28来源:和谐英语

Greek officials say a horde of frogs has forced the closure of a key northern highway for two hours.

据希腊官员称,大群的青蛙迫使希腊北部的高速干道关闭2小时。

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou said "millions" of the amphibians covered the tarmac near the town of Langadas, some 12 miles east of Thessaloniki.

据撒罗尼迦市的交警长官Thanoglou称,在兰阁达斯镇(在撒罗尼迦东部约12英里)附近,数以百万计的青蛙黑压压地,爬满了柏油路。


A road official at the scene of the invasion described the situation as "crazy".

一名在场的交通长官用“crazy(疯狂)”来形容这个场面。


"About an hour ago when the tarmac heated up they went away. When it cools, they'll be back up here," he added.

他还补充到,“大约1小时前,当路面被晒热了,它们就离开了马路。当路面凉下来时,它们又会回到这里。”


Authorities closed the highway after three car drivers skidded off the road trying to dodge the frogs. No human injuries were reported.

三名司机曾在试图躲开这些青蛙时将车开离了马路,于是,交通局不得不关闭了这条高速公路。目前尚未造成人员伤亡。


Thanoglou said the amphibians probably left a nearby lake to look for food.

Thanoglou说,这些青蛙可能是从附近的一个湖爬到这儿找吃的来了。
