The Brdy Protected Landscape Area (PLA) Administration of the Czech Republic had secured hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of funding to address a bypass gully in the Klabava River, which was draining water out of valuable wetland areas.
捷克共和国布尔迪保护景观区（PLA）管理局已经获得了价值数十万英镑的资金，用于解决克拉瓦瓦河（Klabava River）的一条旁路沟渠的问题，该沟渠正在从宝贵的湿地地区排水。
The revitalisation plan had become bogged down in administrative red tape as officials tried to obtain building permits from local authorities in charge of the land.
但是，繁琐的手续和各单位漫长的协商导致这个项目7年都无法动工。
Just as the project appeared dead in the water, a family of about eight European beavers swooped in to save it last month.
就在这个项目似乎已经胎死腹中之际，上个月，一个大约8只成员的河狸家庭突然赶来，拯救了它。
"Nature took its course," Bohumil Fi?er, the head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, where the revitalization project was planned, said in the statement. The beavers began working before the excavators could even break ground and had created the ideal environmental conditions "practically overnight".
布里迪自然保护区负责人Bohumil Fi?er透露，就在各单位还在协商解决土地所有权问题的时候，河狸在挖机动土之前就免费修建了一个水坝，他们用牙齿啃断树木，再混合树枝、泥巴等材料，“几乎在一夜之间”创造了理想的环境。
The rodents construct river barriers with trees and branches which they have cut apart with their front teeth, as well with mud, stones and grass. It was not immediately clear specifically when the dams were built and how long it took to build them.
不过目前还不清楚这些水坝具体是什么时候建成的，也不清楚建造它们花了多长时间。有专家表示，他并不怀疑河狸出色的建筑天赋，但是它们建造一座真正的水坝可能需要几周的时间。
Fi?er said the estimated savings to the Czech purse reached 30 million Czech koruna. "They built a wetland with pools and canals. The area is roughly twice larger than planned."
负责人Fi?er还表示，这将节省3000万捷克克朗（约合人民币910万元），河狸们打造了一个既有池塘还有水道的湿地，而且大约是计划面积的两倍。
Jaroslav Obermajer, branch head of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency, said of the beaver's opportune timing: "Beavers always know best. The places where they build dams are always chosen just right – better than when we design it on paper."
捷克自然与景观保护局局长雅罗斯拉夫·奥伯马耶（Jaroslav Obermajer）在谈到海狸的最佳时机时说：“海狸总是最了解情况。他们建水坝的地方总是选得恰到好处——比我们在纸上设计的要好。”
