A: Recently netizens have been commenting on the issue in which the eggs in nests built by birds on train power lines get destroyed when the nests are removed. 

最近有网友反映了鸟类在铁路供电线杆上筑巢后鸟巢被清理时毁坏鸟蛋的问题。

(zuìjìn yǒu wǎnɡyǒu fǎnyìnɡle niǎolèi zài tiělù ɡōnɡdiàn xiànɡānshànɡ zhùcháohòu niǎocháo bèiqīnɡlǐshí huǐhuài niǎodànde wèntí.)

B: I also saw some volunteers make this suggestion: When it comes to bird damage to power lines, research should be carried based on geographical research of bird distribution.

我也看到志愿者提出：对于供电线路的鸟害,应该从地理环境研究鸟的分布进行研究。

(wǒyěkàndào zhìyuànzhě tíchū: duìyú ɡōnɡdiàn xiànlùde niǎohài, yīnɡɡāi cónɡ dìlǐ huánjìnɡ yánjiū niǎode fēnbù jìnxínɡ yánjiū.)

A: Right, and they must also thoroughly research birds' habits and behaviors.

对,而且需要针对鸟类的生活习性及规律深入研究。

(duì, érqiě xūyào zhēnduì niǎolèide shēnɡhuó xíxìnɡ jíɡuīlǜ shēnrù yánjiū.)

B: We definitely have to ensure that electrical power supply facilities are safe while also providing places for birds to roost.

确实需要在保证供电设备具有一定的安全距离的同时提供必要的鸟类栖息场所。

(quèshí xūyào zàibǎozhènɡ ɡōnɡdiàn shèbèi jùyǒu yídìnɡde ānquá njùlíde tónɡshí tíɡōnɡ bìyàode niǎolèi qīxī chǎnɡsuǒ.)

A: Humans should try their best to build in places where birds will not affect the operation of equipment, nor should they damage bird nests. 

人类应该尽量在鸟类不影响设备运行处所搭建,也不应该破坏鸟窝。

(rénlèi yīnɡɡāi jǐnliànɡzài niǎolèi bùyǐnɡxiǎnɡ shèbèi yùnxínɡ chùsuǒ dājiàn, yěbùyīnɡɡāi pòhuài niǎowō.)
