India's 'Mount Everest' of Trash Is Growing So Fast, It Needs Aircraft Warning Lights
印度的垃圾“珠穆朗玛峰”飞速增长,需要飞机警示灯
As tall as the towers of London Bridge, New Delhi's Ghazipur landfill continues to grow at a startling pace. Within a year, it is set to rise higher than the Taj Mahal, one of the country's most iconic monuments.
新德里的Ghazipur垃圾填埋场继续以惊人的速度增长,与伦敦桥的塔楼一样高。在一年内,它的高度将超过泰姬陵,后者是该国最具标志性的纪念碑之一。
Nicknamed 'Mount Everest' by locals, the expansive pile of fetid matter is already more than 65 metres (213 feet) tall. As India's Supreme Court recently warned, it's well overdue for some aircraft warning lights.
这个填埋场被当地人称为“珠穆朗玛峰”,大量的恶臭物质已超过65米(213英尺)高。正如印度最高法院最近出台的警告所言,已经超过需要飞机警示灯的高度了。
When Ghazipur first opened in 1984, this was - of course - never the intention. By 2002, the landfill had reached capacity at 20 metres and should have been closed. Today, the 21 million people living in New Delhi rely mainly on this ever-growing monstrosity and two other landfills, all of which hit maximum volume at least a decade ago.
Ghazipur于1984年首次开业时,这当然不是有意制造垃圾山的。到2002年,垃圾填埋场达到了20米的容量,就应该关闭了。今天,生活在新德里的2100万人主要依靠这个不断增长的怪物和另外两个垃圾填埋场,所有垃圾填埋场至少在十年前都达到了最大值。
