| 释义 | like painting the Forth Bridge
CultureThe Forth Rail Bridge was built near Edinburgh in 1890 and is considered one of the greatest engineering achievements of its period. Most British people know the story that it is always being painted, because when the painters have finished painting it from one end to the other, it is necessary to start at the beginning again. There are also two road bridges next to the Forth Rail Bridge. The older one, the Forth Road Bridge, was built in 1964, and is now open only to buses, taxis and motorcycles. It is a suspension bridge (= a bridge hanging from cables supported by towers at each end) and one of the longest of its kind in the world.The second road bridge, the Queensferry Crossing, was opened in 2017.
