6月1日起,巴黎将开始拆除艺术桥上的挂锁,有效终止游客们在桥上悬挂"爱情锁"的传统。
For years, visitors have been attaching locks to thebridge in symbolic acts of affection.

Some further seal the deal by throwing keys into the Seine River below.

The phenomenon spread to other bridges, creating two major concerns: degradation ofproperty heritage and a risk to the safety of visitors.
这种现象很快蔓延到其它桥上,造成了两个主要问题:一是破坏了物质遗产,二是给游客安全造成风险。
The bridge carries more than 700,000 locks with an estimated combined weight roughly thesame as 20 elephants.
桥上悬挂了70多万个锁,据估计总重约相当于20头大象。
Part of the bridge collapsed under the weight last year.
去年,重压导致部分桥体塌陷。
The removal of the locks is a "strong first step after a long time of inaction."
拆除爱情锁是"长期不作为之后的第一步强有力的举措。"
