The one-meter-wide, 100-meter-long track is painted in red, blue, and green, with pictures of mobile phones and the words "special walkway for phubbers" in Chinese.

这条宽1米长100米的通道被漆成红、蓝、绿色相间，上面还有一个手机的图标，并用中文写着“低头族专用通道”。

Phubber（低头族）这个词来源于phubbing，phubbing是 phone和snubbing（冷落）的合成词，意思就是因为有了手机就冷落了周边的人和事（snubbing anyone and anything else in favor of a mobile phone）。

该通道一经曝光即引发争议，有人认为：在路上低头玩手机本身就非常危险，设立“低头族专用通道”可能会鼓励和纵容这种行为。

该通道建设方则表示，他们铺设“低头族专用通道”，主要是为了警示“低头族”。

The walking path is a good way of reminding people to put their phones away and pay attention to their surroundings for their own safety and the safety of others.

这条通道对人们有很好的提醒作用，让他们收起手机，为了自己和他人的安全多关注周边的环境。
