黑龙江一农家院1年经历48起车祸

 

修路是好事，但如果路修到家门口，还时不时有车辆因为来不及刹车冲进自家院子，那给这家人带来的就是麻烦了。在过去一年里，黑龙江省林甸县一个农村家庭经历的有据可查的车祸共有48起。

 

The first thing you see at this house is a huge yellow banner with the Chinese character for "slow." That's because 48 cars and trucks barrelled into the family's front yard last year alone. 

当你望向这座房子，首先映入你眼帘的是一个巨型的黄色警示牌，上面写着一个字——“慢”。这是因为，单单在过去一年里，就有48辆轿车和卡车飞速撞进了这户人家的前院。

 

According to a report by the Beijing Youth Daily, the house in Heilongjiang, northern China, is situated by a road leading to a highway. 

据《北京青年报》报道，这座房子位于中国北部黑龙江省，坐落在一条直通高速公路的小路边。

 

The house is by a 90-degree angled junction, so cars can't slow down in time when taking the turn after the highway — and end up crashing through the house's fencing. It wasn't always a junction. 

房子旁边便是一条90度角的交叉路口，车辆从高速路上出来转弯时常常无法及时减速——于是最后便撞倒了房子门前的栅栏。这里之前并不是交叉路口。

 

The homeowners, 29-year-old Xu Renxiang and her husband, He Haijun, have lived on the plot of lane before the 90-degree road was built. Xu estimates that more than 100 accidents have occurred in the family's front yard since the road came up some seven years ago. 

29岁的许仁香和丈夫何海军是这座房子的主人，在路口修建之前，他们就已经在此居住。许仁香估计，自从大约七年前这条路修好以后，他们家的前院已经发生了100多次车祸。

 

The couple have banned their daughter from playing in the yard, for fear of her getting hit by a car. 

由于担心车辆伤害女儿，许仁香夫妇已经禁止女儿到前院玩耍。

 

Officials are reportedly looking into the problem — the county government is doing a safety audit.

据报道，有关部门已经开始着手解决这个问题——当地县政府正在进行安全审计。

 

For the moment, though, Xu has barricaded her front yard with bricks, gravel and sand as a buffer, to stop cars from doing actual damage to her house. "If we knew that (officials) were going to build the bend in front of our house, we'd have built our house a little further back," Xu said. 

目前，许仁香用砖块、碎石和沙子在前院筑起一道缓冲的屏障，以防过往的车辆对房子造成实质性的损害。许仁香说：“如果我们知道（他们）要在我们房子前建这个路拐的话，我们当时就把房子往后建一点了。”
