A fifth foreign company has pulled out(退出) of a plan to build a cable car from West to East Jerusalem that threatens to involve the seizure(夺取，征用) of land and property rights from dozens of Palestinian families along its route, but local authorities insist the scheme is proceeding as planned(按计划进行).
第五家外国公司退出了从西耶路撒冷到东耶路撒冷的缆车建设计划，该计划可能涉及征用沿线数十个巴勒斯坦家庭的土地和财产权，但当地政府坚称项目正按计划推进。
The project appeared to have stalled for four years until late September, just weeks before Israel’s 27 October elections, when the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA) issued a notice of intent to award a contract without a public tender to ROPES, a cable car engineering consultancy based in South Tyrol, Italy.(该项目似乎已停滞四年，直到9月下旬，即以色列10月27日选举前几周，耶路撒冷发展局（JDA）发出意向通知，拟不经公开招标将合同授予总部位于意大利南蒂罗尔的缆车工程咨询公司ROPES。)

However, Stephan Obexer, chief executive of ROPES told the Guardian his company had declined(拒绝) the consultancy work because of another commitment(因为另有承诺) in India.
然而，ROPES首席执行官斯蒂芬·奥贝克斯告诉《卫报》，由于在印度另有承诺，他的公司已拒绝了这项咨询工作。
