ROME (Reuters) - An Italian town is setting donkeys to work mowing the grass on the side of its highways in an effort to save money and reduce pollution. Fed up with paying some 100,000 euros (1,070,000 yuan) a year to cut the grass on its out-of-town roads with tractor-mowers, the local government of Treviso, near Venice, said on Tuesday it had bought six donkeys to do the work instead. "This purchase will allow us to save cash as well as launch an experimental ecological project," said local government chief Luca Zaia, who paid just over 2,000 euros for the six asses.

　　Motorists need not fear running down the animals: they will only be allowed to munch the grass in roadside areas fenced off from traffic.

罗马[路透社消息] 意大利的一个城市为了节约资金和减少污染，计划使用驴子完成高速公路旁边的割草任务。烦于每年支付割草机在郊区公路的100,000 欧元 (1,070,000 人民币)剪草费用，靠近威尼斯的当地政府特雷维索周二表示，他们已经买来六头驴子替代割草机的工作。“这次采购可以为我们节省支出，也是发起生态保护的工程”，当地政府长官Luca Zaia说，购买这六头驴子仅付了2000欧元。汽车架乘人员不必担心车子撞倒驴子，因为这些驴子只被允许啃与交通路面隔离的路边草。

我的想法是:斑竹出了题目之后,大家的答案都通过信息的形式发送给斑竹最后由斑竹一起公布,这样的话,应该不会受到他人的影响也比较公平.斑竹意下如何? [em07]
