近日，日本福岡JR博多站前道路發(fā)生大規(guī)模塌陷事故，出現(xiàn)一個(gè)長約30米、寬約27米、深約15米的大坑，導(dǎo)致交通混亂及停電，所幸未造成人員傷亡。然而，短短幾天內(nèi)，日本工程人員已經(jīng)將這恐怖的大坑修復(fù)并恢復(fù)所有公共事業(yè)服務(wù)?？磥聿坏貌粸闄鸦▏嫣斓男屎腕@人的工程實(shí)力點(diǎn)贊。

In the end, it disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared.
這還真是來無影、去無蹤。

A giant sinkhole which swallowed a chunk of road the length of a city block in the southwestern Japanese city of Fukuoka has been filled mere days after it appeared, a testament to Japanese engineering and efficiency.
位于日本西南的福岡市街頭出現(xiàn)一處巨型地陷，大面積道路被吞噬。地陷發(fā)生短短幾天后便被填補(bǔ)，彰顯了日本的工程實(shí)力和效率。

After the sinkhole appeared on November 8, subcontractors worked around the clock to fill in the 30 meter wide, 15 meter deep hole by the 12th with a mixture of sand and cement.
11月8日，地陷出現(xiàn)后，包工隊(duì)夜以繼日地工作到12日，用沙子和水泥的混合物來填埋30米寬、15米深的大坑。

The job was complicated by the water which had seeped in from sewage pipes destroyed by collapsing sections of road.
路面坍塌破壞了污水管道，從中滲漏的污水讓施工變得復(fù)雜。

After that it only took another 48 hours to reinstall all utilities -- electricity, water, sewage, gas and telecommunication lines -- and to resurface the road. There were no reports of injuries.
填埋完畢后，僅過了48小時(shí)水電、排污、燃?xì)夂屯ㄓ嵕€路等公共設(shè)施便全部修復(fù)。沒有傷情報(bào)告。

The gigantic sinkhole opened suddenly last week in Hakata ward in Fukuoka's business district, swallowing huge sections of road near underground work to extend a subway tunnel.
上周，福岡商區(qū)博多區(qū)驚現(xiàn)巨型地陷，地下施工的地鐵隧道擴(kuò)建工程附近的道路被吞噬。

City officials were working nearby to extend the subway from a nearby station to the city center along a 1.4-kilometer route.
市政府官員正在附近作業(yè)，將臨近地鐵站的線路延長1.4公里至市中心。

Motohisa Oda, a crisis management officer from the city of Fukuoka, told CNN that the underground construction work may have triggered the collapse.
福岡市危機(jī)管理官員小田元久對CNN表示，地下施工可能導(dǎo)致地面坍塌。

The gaping hole - which started off as two smaller ones before merging into the larger cavity - appeared 300 meters from the JR Hakata station, one of the city's main transport hubs.
大坑距離JR博多站僅300米，那里是該市主要交通樞紐之一。最初出現(xiàn)的是兩個(gè)較小的坑洞，后來合并為一個(gè)較大的坑洞。

The mayor of Fukuoka, Soichiro Takashima, said the affected ground had been strengthened by a factor of 30 because of the sand and cement refill.
福岡市長高島宗一郎表示，填充沙子和水泥后，受影響的地面已經(jīng)得到30倍的加固。

Previously comprised largely of sand, the soil's composition was suspected to be a part of the cause for the huge hole, according to local civil engineering experts.
據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)赝聊竟こ虒＜曳Q，以前這兒的土壤沙子含量很高，土壤組成是巨型坑洞形成的疑似原因。

英國媒體在報(bào)道時(shí)，紛紛開啟了自黑模式：

Here in the UK, we’re pretty sure that if part of a city collapsed in a similar way there would still be heads being scratched, investigations being carried out, and arguments over what kind of tarmac to use for the repair job.
在英國，我們敢肯定，如果城市里有一處路像這樣塌了，可能現(xiàn)在大家還在紛紛想轍，還在調(diào)查研究，爭論該用什么樣的瀝青碎石路面來修復(fù)。

It would be a totally different story over here with quotes like ‘it’s too early to say who’s responsible’, and ‘it was a multi-agency cluster-f*** but nobody will be apologising, taking responsibility or losing their job over it’.
在我們這兒肯定是另一番景象了。當(dāng)局會(huì)說，‘是誰的責(zé)任還言之尚早?！缓髸?huì)有很多機(jī)構(gòu)攪和進(jìn)來，但沒有人會(huì)道歉、承擔(dān)責(zé)任或是因此丟工作。

In comparison to the speedy repair works in Japan, commuters in Manchester were forced to wait ten months for similar repairs on one of the city's main roads.
和日本的快速修復(fù)相比，曼徹斯特的通勤者被迫為了城市主干道的一處相似修復(fù)工作等上十個(gè)月。

看完這個(gè)報(bào)道，各種不淡定的英國網(wǎng)友也冒出來抱怨了。

Can they come and look at Oxford too? All the main roads have been dug up for years now.
他們能來牛津大學(xué)看看嗎？所有的主干道都挖了好幾年了。

I had a pothole in front of my house, it took three emails, one phone call and the fact someone fell in it for the council to come out around five weeks later, it was only 30cm wide!
我家門前也出現(xiàn)過一個(gè)坑洞。我用了3封郵件，1通電話才有市議會(huì)的人跟進(jìn)了這件事，并在5周后派有關(guān)部門的人來查看，之前還有人因此跌倒。這也就是個(gè)30厘米寬的坑而已。

Send our folks there for training.
把我們的人派去培訓(xùn)吧。

在得知本次災(zāi)難并沒有帶來傷亡之后，日本網(wǎng)友們放心P起了圖……

有災(zāi)難的地方怎么會(huì)少了怪獸

有怪獸就會(huì)有奧特曼

這個(gè)巨人簡直毫無違和感

地面塌陷之后號稱最難進(jìn)的711

再難進(jìn)也難不倒特種部隊(duì)

天空之城即視感

這。。。好一碗拉面
