迪拜又放大招 酒店自带雨林

 　　财大气粗的迪拜不仅拥有世界最高建筑哈利法塔、世界最大人工岛棕榈岛和最大的购物商场，还将打造全球第一家自带热带雨林的高科技奢华酒店。除了7000平米的热带雨林，这家希尔顿旗下的双子塔酒店也将配备所有娱乐休闲设施，沙滩、瀑布、游泳池一应俱全。吃瓜群众表示：论壕，我只服迪拜！

　　Just when we thought the world's largest indoor theme park was hard to top, Dubai proves us wrong yet again.

　　本以为迪拜刚刚开放的世界最大室内主题公园已是无可匹敌，然而炫富之国再次实力证明：壕的道路永无止境。

　　Its latest jaw-dropping megaproject is a tropical rainforest in a skyscraper¹ hotel -- another world-first for the emirate.

　　其最新一项惊天大工程是在摩天酒店里打造热带雨林。这将为迪拜赢得又一个世界第一的头衔。

　　迪拜又放大招 酒店自带雨林

　　The 7,000-square-meter rainforest will be part of the upcoming Rosemont Hotel and Residences Dubai, one of the properties under Hilton's luxury independent brand Curio -- A Collection by Hilton.

　　面积达7000平方米的雨林将是迪拜罗斯蒙特酒店及公寓的一部分。该酒店隶属希尔顿旗下的奢华自主品牌Curio。

　　The complex, expecting to welcome its first guests in 2018, consists of two 53-story-high towers including a 448-key hotel and a 280-room serviced apartment tower.

　　酒店预计于2018年开业迎宾，由两座53层高的塔楼组成：酒店塔楼可提供448间客房，公寓塔楼则拥有280套酒店式住宅。

　　"Our client's concept was to create a very unique destination for the city of Dubai, and also to create a project that would be a destination itself, with every possible leisure and entertainment amenity² inside the hotel," says DJ Armin, principal architect and managing partner of ZAS Architects Dubai.

　　迪拜ZAS建筑事务所的首席建筑师和管理合伙人阿民称：“客户的理念是为迪拜打造一家个性十足的酒店，而其建筑本身也要成为亮点。酒店将配备你所能想到的一切休闲娱乐设施。”

　　The firm teamed up with Dubai architects Kieferle & Partner on the design.

　　该项目由ZAS事务所与迪拜Kieferle & Partner建筑公司共同设计。

　　Armin says they're hoping to create a family-friendly leisure space that can be used year-round.

　　阿民表示，他们希望构建一个全年运营、适合于家庭的休闲空间。

　　"As the site wasn't a beachfront location, we looked at how we could create a new type of outdoor leisure space in the city, and also fully³ integrate nature into the guest experience," Armin tells cnn.

　　他告诉cnn：“建筑地点不在海滨，因此我们着眼的是如何打造新型的城市户外休闲空间，并且要让客人充分体验到自然的乐趣。”

　　A rainforest was the answer.

　　于是有了热带雨林方案。

　　"Inside the rainforest, we've created a landscape akin⁴ to a full-scale tropical environment -- complete with adventure trails, a sandless beach, a splash pool, waterfalls, streams and a rainforest cafe," says Armin.

　　阿民说：“我们在雨林中创设的景观完全模拟了热带环境，同时配有探险步道、无沙海滩、嬉水池、瀑布、溪流和雨林咖啡屋。”

　　There will also be a "prehistoric⁵ Jurassic-inspired marsh⁶."

　　还会有一片“从侏罗纪获得灵感的史前沼泽”。

　　"Technological⁷ features include an advanced sensory⁸ rain system that creates a 360-degree experience, simulating the sensation of being surrounded by rainfall without actually getting wet."

　　“先进的感应降雨系统是一大技术特色，它能带来360度全方位体验，模拟身处雨中的感觉又不会真的淋湿。”

　　Sensors⁹ control where the rain will fall depending on where people are detected.

　　感应器可以根据检测到的人的方位，控制降雨地点。

　　Water will be collected, stored from condensation¹⁰ and recycled to create a humid environment similar to a tropical rainforest.

　　而水将通过冷凝的方式收集、储存并回收再利用，以营造类似热带雨林的潮湿环境。

　　The outdoor rainforest will be located on the top level of the entertainment podium that connects the hotel and residential¹¹ towers.

　　户外雨林将设在连接酒店和公寓两座塔楼的娱乐平台顶层。

　　The project is still at an early stage, but it appears the rainforest will be open to the public as well as hotel guests.

　　该项目尚处于建设初期，而建成后，雨林似乎将同时向公众和酒店客人开放。
