地方议会接受了压力集团提出的反对意见,他们想把那条新的旁路开在镇的那一头,而不是开在根据规划者提出的那条路线上。 The local council listened to objections by a pressure group who want the new by-pass to be built on the other side of the town, not along the route proposed by the planners.
自从他们沿着那个地方修建了一条新的旁路后,那个地方就一直非常冷清。 The place has been like a ghost town since they built the new bypass round it.
