石家莊驚現奇異建築:一半祈年殿一半西式樓
China is known for its replicas of famous sights, but one new creation has gone a step further by combining two landmarks into one building.
中國素來以山寨版的名勝而聞名，但有一個創新又更超前一步，那就是將兩種地標式建築風格結合在一個建築上。Half of the structure, located in the northern city of Shijiazhuang, is a copy of Beijing's Temple of Heaven, but the other half is the whitewashed rotunda of the US Capitol building. The structure is four-storeys high and stands in the grounds of a film and television studio on the outskirts of the city, the China News website reports.
這個建築位於石家莊市北部，一半形似北京天壇，而另一半卻形似美國國會大廈的白色外牆圓形建築。據中國新聞網報道，該結構有四層樓高，佇立在石家莊市郊的一個影視基地裏。
The Beijing-Washington hybrid has attracted thousands of comments on social media, and plenty of people on the Sina Weibo microblogging site think it's an ingenious idea. "From one side you can film period dramas, from the other side you can film Western scenery," writes one user. "This saves construction costs, how strange and cute!" But while one users thinks it's a "symbol of friendship" between the US and China, another wonders whether it was actually the result of a "quarrel between designers".
這個北京-華盛頓合體的建築引發了社會媒體成千上萬的評論。有許多新浪微博網友稱這是一個頗具獨創性的好主意。“在這一邊可以拍中國古裝劇，在另一邊可以拍西式背景的片子”，一個網友說。“這節約了建築成本，多奇妙，多智慧！”同時又有另一個網友認爲它是中美兩國之間“友誼的象徵”。還有一位網友好奇的表示，它事實上可能是“設計師們意見分歧”的結果。
It's thought to be the first such hybrid building in a country which has no shortage of replica sights. Next door to the Shijiazhuang structure stands a mock-Egyptian sphinx, and elsewhere visitors can see recreations of London's iconic Tower Bridge, the Austrian alpine village of Hallstatt and even a Chinese version of Venice.
在中國山寨版的名勝並不少了，但這個建築卻是獨一無二的的中西複合體。就在石家莊，緊鄰着這座建築便有一個山寨的獅身人面像，在中國其它地方還有僞造的倫敦塔橋、奧地利哈爾斯塔特小鎮甚至還有中國版的威尼斯。
