After 139 years at 807 Franklin St. in San Francisco, a two-story Victorian house has a new address.

在舊金山富蘭克林街807號佇立139年後，一棟2層樓的維多利亞式房屋有了新地址。

The green home with large windows and a brown front door was loaded onto giant dollies and moved to a location six blocks away. Onlookers lined the sidewalks to snap photos as the structure rolled at a top speed of 1 mph to 635 Fulton St.

這棟有著大窗戶、棕色前門的綠色房屋，被裝載在巨大推車上，移往6個街區外。當建物以最高時速1英里（約1.6公里）被移往福爾頓街635號途中，人行道上站滿了拍照的旁觀民眾。

Veteran house mover Phil Joy said this move is tricky in part because the first part of the journey involves going downhill. Along the route, parking meters were ripped up, tree limbs were trimmed and traffic signs were relocated.

資深搬家業者菲爾．喬伊說，這件工程很難處理，部分原因是移動過程首先得下坡。沿路上，停車計時器被移除，樹枝被修剪，交通號誌也被重新安置。

The owner of the six-bedroom house, San Francisco broker Tim Brown, will pay about $400,000 in fees.（AP）

這棟擁有6個房間的屋子的主人、舊金山仲介商提姆．布朗，將付40萬美元（約1118萬台幣）的費用。（美聯社）

Instagram on Wednesday said it is dabbling with letting users hide "like" counts in an effort to ease the pressure of seeking approval from others.

Instagram（IG）週三說，正嘗試讓用戶隱藏「讚」數，以圖降低尋求他人認同造成的壓力。

If an experiment at Instagram shows the option is a hit, it could be made permanent and even extended to Facebook, which owns the image-centric social network.

如果在IG上的一項實驗顯示這個方案受歡迎，就可能成為常態，甚至擴大到這個影像社群網絡的擁有者「臉書」上實施。

"In 2019, we started hiding like counts for a small group of people to understand if it lessens some pressure when posting to Instagram," a Facebook spokesperson told AFP.

「2019年我們開始在一小群人實施隱藏讚數，來了解這樣是否能降低一些在IG發文的壓力」，臉書一名發言人告訴法新社。

Running tallies of how many people signal they like posts at social networks can be seen as status symbols or indicators of worth, raising mental health concerns.

社群網站上發文獲得多少讚的統計數字，可被視為地位的象徵或者價值指標，但這也增加對心理健康的擔憂。

The displaced stone was spotted last month by a sharp-eyed group of Frenchmen.
