工程奇迹 An engineering marvel

Sharavati Bridge

This bridge at Honnavar was awarded second prize in the competition for Most outstanding Bridge National Awards 1995 – Category I by Indian Institute of Bridge Engineers.

Here, we are looking at the Sharavati Bridge, the longest railway bridge in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is 2,060 metres long and it carries the Konkan Railway over the Sharavati river. Constructed in 1984, the bridge is recognised around the globe as an engineering wonder. During the 20th century, the project to construct this bridge was considered to be the biggest and perhaps the most complicated railway undertaking (at least in this part of the world). The Konkan Railway has over 2,000 bridges and 91 tunnels constructed through some of the toughest terrains.

沙拉瓦蒂桥

这座位于Honnavar的大桥在1995年印度桥梁工程师学会颁发的最杰出桥梁国家奖（I类）竞赛中获得二等奖。

在这里，我们看到的是印度卡纳塔克邦最长的铁路桥沙拉瓦蒂桥。它长2060米，通过萨拉瓦蒂河运送Konkan铁路。这座桥建于1984年，是全球公认的工程奇迹。在20世纪，建造这座桥的项目被认为是最大的，也许是最复杂的铁路工程（至少在世界这一地区）。Konkan铁路有2000多座桥梁和91条隧道，穿越一些最恶劣的地形。

Scotland Glenfinnan Viaduct

Muggles from around the world flock to this iconic scene at the top of Loch Shiel in the West Highlands of Scotland to marvel at the 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct, also known as the 'Harry Potter bridge.' The curving structure was made famous in the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's novels as part of the route taken by the Hogwarts Express, which carries students to and from the wizarding boarding school at the start and end of every term. And today is a reason to celebrate for Potterheads, as we are marking the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter's big screen debut.

In real life, the Hogwarts Express is the Jacobite steam train. It's described as one of the greatest railway journeys in the world, taking passengers across the viaduct on a magical 84-mile round-trip between the towns of Fort William and Mallaig in summer months, passing Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom, and some of Scotland's most splendid scenery.

苏格兰格兰芬南高架桥

来自世界各地的麻瓜们蜂拥而至，来到苏格兰西部高地希勒湖山顶的这一标志性场景，惊叹于21座拱形格伦芬南高架桥，也被称为“哈利波特桥”。这座弯曲的结构在改编自J.K.罗琳小说的电影中出名，是霍格沃茨特快列车路线的一部分，在每个学期的开始和结束时，它会运送学生往返于魔法寄宿学校。今天是我们为《波特头》庆祝的一个理由，因为我们正在庆祝《哈利波特》大银幕首映20周年。

在现实生活中，霍格沃茨特快列车是雅各比特蒸汽火车。它被描述为世界上最伟大的铁路旅行之一，在夏季的几个月里，乘客们将穿越高架桥，在威廉堡和马莱格镇之间神奇地往返84英里，途经英国最高的山脉本尼维斯，以及苏格兰最壮丽的风景。
