Hong Kong protesters have alighted on a new way to counter the police, as the five-month old anti-government resistance grinds on and their tactics evolve further.

持續5個月的香港反政府抗爭運動持續僵持，示威者的招數再進化，想到新方法對抗警方。

The latest strategy being deployed across the city involves protesters stacking bricks that resemble mini-temples across thoroughfares to function as roadblocks.

這項被用於全港各地的最新招數是，示威者以一塊塊磚頭在大馬路上疊出類似迷你神殿的形狀，當做路障。

Locally dubbed "brick battlegrounds" or "mini-Stonehenges", they have been hailed by many supporters as creative installations to deter the advance of riot police.

許多示威者稱讚，這些被當地人稱為「磚陣」或「迷你石陣」的路障，是阻止鎮暴警察推進的創意設置。

The tactic has successfully forced traffic to grind to a halt and bus routes to divert. "Perhaps one day we will be able to call those our Arcs of Triumph," said a post on the Reddit website.

這招已成功迫使交通停擺、公車改道。「或許有一天，我們能稱這些（磚陣）是我們的凱旋門」，一則在網路論壇Reddit上的留言說。
