一个邪恶的十字路口?(An unholy crossing?)
这座古老的桥是不是因为一桩邪恶的交易才屹立不倒?传说,早在16世纪初,一位名叫迪米塔尔的保加利亚石匠就遇到了一个工程问题。他被雇来建造一座桥,这座桥不会像所有的前辈一样坍塌到湍急的阿尔达河中。自然而然,他转向了超自然,并与魔鬼达成了一项邪恶的契约。
原文:
Is this ancient bridge still standing thanks to a diabolical deal? Legend has it that, back in the early 1500s, a Bulgarian stonemason named Dimitar was given an engineering problem. He was hired to build a bridge that wouldn't collapse into the rushing Arda river, as had all its predecessors. Naturally, he turned to the supernatural and made an unholy pact with the devil.
