文章賞析

• Atlanta (CNN)Feeling too fancy for normal earth-bound existence? A new skyscraper concept would elevate your living situation -- literally.
  相對於正常的地球生活來說過於異想天開嗎？新摩天大樓的概念將顛覆人類對於日常生活的想像。
• Clouds Architecture Office has unveiled plans for a futuristic skyscraper dubbed the "Analemma Tower." The building would hover majestically above the ground because it would be attached -- wait for it -- to an actual asteroid, in space, that is forcibly put into orbit around the Earth.
  雲端建築事務所已公布了一個未來的摩天大樓計畫，稱之為「日行跡塔」。建築物雄偉地盤旋在地面上，不過它是被繫在一個真正的行星上面，然後被強行置入環繞地球的軌道中。
• If that's not enough to digest, consider that your exact address in this pendulous pad could be anywhere on Earth.
  如果你無法理解，請試想一下，在不斷運行的情況之下，你所住的那個懸吊式大樓的地址，有可能會落在地球上的任何一個地方。
• The tower will be suspended via high-strength cabling from an asteroid and placed in "eccentric geosynchronous orbit". In other words, it would be always moving -- residents and visitors would take a daily journey between the northern and southern hemispheres with a prolonged visit over a main "home" point like New York City or Dubai (it's always New York City or Dubai, isn't it?)
  這座塔將會用高強度的纜線從行星懸掛下來，放入「偏心地球同步軌道」中。換句話說，它會不斷地移動著，住戶和訪客可以每天造訪南北半球，然後在主要的「家鄉」像是紐約或是杜拜進行稍久一點的停留。(總是紐約或杜拜，不是嗎？)
