找到一段关于为何曲折的解释,是否合理大家可以继续讨论: The Structure
Wuzhi Bridge (無止橋) is a 90-metre bridge to 'never-ending knowledge and a prosperous future'. In Cantonese, Wuzhi sounds the same as Maosi ('Mo Tsi'). Wuzhi Bridge was designed to use mostly natural local materials, to be maintained by the villagers and to serve as a prototype for other bridges. It is also the first bridge in the world to stand on metal cages filled with rubble ─ the innovation of designer Anthony Hunt. Bamboo and steel planks, designed for easy retrieval from the river bed after heavy storms, make up the walkway. The bridge is stepped to prevent heavy vehicles and, according to Ng, ghosts from using it as the corners are too sharp for both. Stepping also produces a sort of negative table between alternate sections of the bridge allowing villagers to sit and chat, feet hanging several feet above the water. It has a bamboo footrail to soften the effects of vertigo, a nod to a very distant relative ─ the precarious wooden bridge at Saikung's Ham Tin beach with which hikers in Hong Kong are all too familiar. The bridge cost about HK$700,000 to build with about a sixth having been used to oil someone's fleshy palm. The main construction materials were bought in nearby towns while minor spare parts were brought all the way from Hong Kong.
翻译一下啊,俺们村的人看不懂……
