An Italian tightrope artist became the first person to high-wire across the Tiber river in Rome, travelling 135 metres over a 20-metre drop. Andrea Loreni, the artist, holds the record in Italy for the longest and highest tightrope walk.

(Seorang seniman tali dari Italia menjadi orang pertama yang menyeberangi sungai Tiber di Roma dengan tali, berjalan di atas tali sepanjang 135 meter dan tinggi 20 meter. Andrea Loreni, sang seniman, memegang rekor meniti tali terpanjang dan tertinggi di Italia.)

The artist said that it was difficult because of external factors like the wind, the rain and the LED light reflections on the water – there was so much input that it risked creating confusion. He coped by choosing one spot and focusing on it.

(Seniman itu berkata bahwa aksinya sulit karena faktor luar seperti angin, hujan dan pantulan cahaya lampu di permukaan air – ada begitu banyak cahaya sehingga berisiko menimbulkan kebingungan. Dia berhasil dengan menentukan satu titik dan fokus kesana.)

Nervous onlookers let out a sigh of relief when Loreni made it through the wind and rain to the other end.

(Para penonton yang gugup bernafas lega setelah Loreni berhasil melewati angin dan hujan dan mencapai ujung tali.)

Kata-kata sulit: high-wire (kabel-tinggi), input (masukan), cope (berhasil).
