That means showing this video is risky—I'll have to blur out this, this, this, this, this,

所以回到埃菲爾鐵塔，根據這位谷歌評論員的說法是 "風太大"，。

and “if it were American we would stop all the wind.”

和 "如果是美國人，我們會停止所有的風。"

Knowing what we now know, the real question is, why is it even legal to show the Eiffel

The Eiffel tower isn't the only example of this.

埃菲爾鐵塔並不是唯一的例子。

I can't show you the pyramid of the Louvre, the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, or

我不能給你看盧浮宮的金字塔，哥本哈根的小美人魚雕像，或者是。
