Hugo Xavier became one of the first people to cross the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge when it opened near his tiny hometown of Arouca in northern Portugal.

當世界最長的人行吊橋在葡萄牙北部的阿羅卡小鎮啟用時，當地人雨果‧哈維爾成為最先穿越該橋的其中一人。

"Oh...here we go!," the 42-year-old said anxiously as he gathered enough courage to step onto the see-through metal grid pathway of the 516-metre-long bridge alongside his equally jittery partner and a tour guide.

42歲的哈維爾緊張地說：「噢…我們出發吧！」後，鼓起勇氣踏上這座516公尺長、可透過金屬網格直視橋下的通道，同行的還有一樣緊張的夥伴及一名嚮導。

Hidden between rock-strewn mountains covered with lush greenery and yellow flowers inside the Arouca Geopark, the bridge hangs 175 meters above the fast-flowing River Paiva.

該橋藏身在阿羅卡地質公園內遍布岩石的山峰，以及蒼翠繁茂的植被和黃色花朵之間，懸掛在湍急的派瓦河上175公尺處。

The landscape is calm, but the crossing is not for the faint-hearted. Held up by steel cables and two massive towers on each side, it wobbles a little with every step. (Reuters)

橋上風光平靜悠緩，但不適合膽小的人橫越。該橋由鋼索懸吊起來，橋的兩端各有巨大的塔座，每走一步就些微晃動。（路透）
