英國工程師發明可摺疊房屋

British engineers have developed an incredible 100,000 pounds flat-packed house that can be unfolded in 10 minutes.

英國的工程師們發明出一種售價10萬英鎊、超讚的組裝房屋，可以在10分鐘內展開。

The adaptable unit can then be packed up with all its furnishings and transported on a lorry just as quickly.

展開後的可摺疊房屋可以連同室內所有的傢俱一起被同樣迅速地打包起來、裝到卡車上。

Inventor David Martyn, 58, said its built-in folding partitions and storage space allow it to be used as a home, classrooms, business spaces, pop-up shops, hospital operating theatres and emergency shelters for refugees.

58歲的發明家大衛·馬丁稱，這種房屋內置的摺疊式隔板和儲物空間使其可以被用作家庭住房、教室、營業場所、快閃店、醫院手術室和難民應急避難所。

Furnishing such as sofas, beds, chairs, and tables can be tucked away in storage spaces and the whole unit is folded away and relocated in a truck without any specialist tools.

沙發、牀、椅子和桌子等傢俱都可以藏在儲物空間內，整個房子無需任何專門的工具即可摺疊起來放到卡車上。

Martyn and his team of four engineers have spent seven years and 4 million pounds developing and patenting their designs.

馬丁和他團隊裏的四名工程師花費7年時間、耗資400萬英鎊來研究這一設計和爲其申請專利。
