斯洛伐克兄弟以最快、最平整的墳墓贏得土葬比賽
Slovak brothers win burial competition with fastest, neatest grave
Two brothers from Slovakia won a grave-digging competition at an international exhibition of funeral, burial and cremation services on Thursday.
來自斯洛伐克的一對兄弟,在周四一場喪禮、土葬、火葬服務的國際展覽上,贏得挖墳墓比賽。
Ladislav and Csaba Skladan, aged 43 and 41 respectively, dug a grave 1.5 meters deep, two meters long and 90 centimeters wide in 54 minutes in the western Slovak town of Trencin, beating 10 other two-member teams from Slovakia, Poland and Hungary as a small audience cheered loudly.
分別為43和41歲的拉迪斯拉夫和切薩巴.史克拉當,於斯洛伐克西部城鎮特倫欽,在54分鐘內挖瞭1口深1.5公尺、長2公尺、寬90公分的墳墓,在一小群觀?大聲喝彩聲中,擊敗另10組來自斯洛伐克、波蘭與匈牙利的雙人拍檔。
Their grave was also the neatest, a five-member jury agreed.
5人評審團同意,他們的墳墓也是最平整的。
"We want to show and appreciate the hard work of grave diggers," said Ladislav Striz, who established the contest last year.
去年發起這項競賽的拉迪斯拉夫.史崔茲說:「我們想要展示及感謝挖墳人的辛勞工作。」
"Most Slovak graveyards are so crowded and spaces between graves so narrow that we need human diggers instead of machines," he said. "They work hard, come rain, come snow."
他說:「斯洛伐克多數墓地都如此擁擠,墳墓間距這麼狹窄,以致我們需要人力挖鑿而非機器」,「他們勤奮工作,雨雪無阻。」
"I am happy we won, it’s a satisfaction after fifteen years in this job," Csaba Skladan said.
切薩巴.史克拉當說:「我很高興我們贏瞭,這是幹這份工作15年後的一大樂事。」
"I had to focus on speed today but usually, when the weather is nice and I can chat with my brother, it’s a dream job," added Ladislav Skladan. (Reuters)
