丹麥揭幕新的維京人紅綠燈

It’s safe to cross when the green Viking is walking, but stop when the red one is standing. That’s the message to pedestrians in Aarhus as it unveils new crossing signals to celebrate the history of Denmark’s second-largest city.

出現(xiàn)綠色維京人時，就可以安全穿越;但紅色維京人站立時，就必須停下來。這是奧胡斯市作為丹麥第二大城市，為突出歷史特色而推出的新的十字路口信號燈。

City council member Buenyamin Simsek, in charge of technical matters, on Monday unveiled the first of 17 traffic signals featuring Vikings holding axes and shields, but no horned helmets — there is no evidence that Viking helmets really did have horns.

負(fù)責(zé)技術(shù)事務(wù)的市議會成員布尼亞明·西姆塞克(Buenyamin Simsek)，周一公布了17個交通信號燈中的第一個，這些信號燈的特征是，手持斧頭和盾牌的維京人，但沒有帶角的頭盔——因為沒有證據(jù)證明維京人的頭盔上確實有角。

The lights will form a circle around downtown Aarhus, which was founded by the Vikings in the 8th century and became a bustling harbor city.

這些信號燈圍繞奧胡斯市中心形成一個圓圈，奧胡斯市是維京人在8世紀(jì)建立的，并逐漸成為一個繁忙的港口城市。
