Construction halted for goose

英工程為母鵝孵蛋讓路

Work on a ￡100m building development in the UK grounded to a halt because of a goose, the Daily Mail reported. The bird settled in and laid 3 eggs right in the middle of the building site. The contractor has assigned a security guard to give the goose 24-hour protection. A yellow sign reading "Stop Working Goose Nesting" was put up on a nearby board. A spokesman of the company said, "It is frustrating that we're being held up but I'm sure work will be able to continue as usual once the eggs have hatched."

據《每日郵報》報道，英國一個價值一億英鎊的建筑工程日前停工，為的是不打擾一只孵蛋的母鵝。原來，這只鵝在工地的中心位置做了個窩，下了3個蛋。工程承包商為此還派保安24小時守候母鵝，并在旁邊的板子上貼了"母鵝孵蛋，停止施工"的黃色標識。公司發言人說，工程停止讓人很是郁悶，但相信蛋孵出來之后一切工作都會回到正軌。
