雙語新聞：不怕房價漲！日本擬建超炫“海底城市”（圖）

日本清水建設(shè)公司近日發(fā)表了一項“海洋螺旋”海底城市的建筑構(gòu)想，計劃在海底建造一座直達(dá)水面的未來都市。這座海底城市可供5000人居住，堪稱現(xiàn)代版亞特蘭蒂斯。根據(jù)清水建設(shè)公司的預(yù)測，建造這樣一座海底城市需要5年時間，成本為3萬億日元（約合255億美元）。預(yù)計到2030年，你就可以說：我不要住陸地上，我要住海底！就是這么任性！

A Japanese construction company has putforward its proposal to solve the issue of rising property prices – startbuilding cities in the ocean.

日本一家建筑公司已經(jīng)提出了解決房價日益高漲問題的提案——開始修建海底城市。

The famously ambition Shimizu Corporationhas unveiled its template for a modern-day Atlantis, a self-sufficientcommunity that sits on or just under the surface of the sea.

著名的日本清水建設(shè)公司已經(jīng)公開了建設(shè)現(xiàn)代亞特蘭蒂斯（傳說沉沒于大西洋的島嶼）的野心藍(lán)圖，這是一座坐落于海面或水下的能源自給的城市。

The Ocean Spiral project envisages usinghuge spirals to connect each watertight residential sphere to the ocean floor,where it would create power in the form of methane-producing micro-organismfactories.

海洋螺旋項目設(shè)想通過巨型螺旋將防水球形住宅與與海底鏈接起來，海底的工廠通過海底微生物將二氧化碳轉(zhuǎn)換成沼氣燃料。

Other rare earth materials could also bemined from the seabed, and transportation to get down there would come in theform of spheres travelling along the length of the spiral.

還可以從海底采掘稀土元素，球形住宅可穿過螺旋通往海底。

People – as many as 5,000 – would live in asealed transparent ball at the top of the spiral. It would generally sit abovethe surface to take advantage of sunlight, but could be retracted under thewaves in the event of bad weather.

位于螺旋頂部的密封透明球體可容納5000人。通常情況下，這個球體會暴露在水面之上利用太陽能，但遇到惡劣天氣時就會縮回水下。

If you're thinking it all sounds a bitfarfetched, Shimizuhas said the first city could be ready for residents by 2030. It would takejust five years to build and cost 3tn yen (￡16bn) – with later unitssignificantly less.

如果你覺得這一切遙不可及，清水建設(shè)已經(jīng)表示第一座城市將于2030年迎來居民。建設(shè)時間僅需5年，耗資3萬億日元（160億英鎊）——而之后完工的建筑耗資則將大大減少。

Speaking to the Guardian, Shimizu's Hideo Imamura said: "This is a realgoal, not a pipe dream. The Astro Boy cartoon character had a mobile phone longbefore they were actually invented – in the same way, the technology and knowhowwe need for this project will become available."

清水建設(shè)的HideoImamura在接受《衛(wèi)報》采訪時說：“這是一個現(xiàn)實的目標(biāo)，并不是空想。鐵臂阿童木在手機(jī)獲發(fā)明很久之前就已經(jīng)有一部手機(jī)了——同樣地，我們完成這個項目所需的技術(shù)也會被開發(fā)出來的。”
