有人希望当局能修复道路，他用最具创造性的方式强调了这个问题的严重性

Drivers don’t usually get along, especially if it’s rush hour and everybody wants to get home as fast as they can. But there is one thing that all of them can agree upon: potholes are the work of evil sorcerers and should be purged from the planet’s roads with extreme prejudice.

司机们通常不合得来，尤其是在交通高峰期，每个人都想尽快回家的时候。但有一件事是他们所有人都同意的:坑洼是邪恶巫师的工作，应该用极端的偏见从地球的道路上清除。
