Officials say that while beavers there were building a dam, internet fiber cables apparently got in their way.

官员们表示，海狸们在那里修建堤坝，但网络电缆挡住了它们的路。

Though it will stretch for thousands of miles, it will account for just the tiny part of the vast intricate network of underwater fiber cables that ships have been laying since the 1800s.

尽管可能会绵延数千英里，但同18世纪就已经开始的庞大复杂网络的水下光纤电缆工程相比，这只是小巫见大巫。
