Tourists visiting Beijing this week will have found themselves choking on a poisonous fog, filling their lungs with air so polluted children were told to stay indoors. To add insult to injury, it was also thick, blocking from view many of the ancient country's most famous landmarks.
本周去北京旅游的游客会发现自己正吸入有毒的雾霾，大人告诫小孩子们不要出门，否则肺里全都是毒气。雪上加霜的是，浓浓大雾让人都看不清一个个古老的标志性建筑！

However, a new online craze has emerged which could help those struggling to make out the roofs of the Forbidden City, or the mesh surrounding the Bird's Nest stadium. People are uploading pictures of the smog-filled city, and helpfully outlining the various buildings which, on a normal day, would be easy to spot.
不过，网络上兴起的一股热潮能够帮助人们“辨别”紫禁城屋顶或是鸟巢周围的网状构架。网民纷纷上传这个城市被雾霾笼罩的照片，并在照片上画上各种建筑的轮廓。在平时的天气，这些建筑都是显而易见的。

Hidden city: Tiananmen. The world-famous entrance to the Forbidden City appears to disappear into the smog this week.
幽城：天安门。本周这一通往紫禁城的世界知名入口好像消失在这云雾中。
