第十名 中國天都城的巴黎
If you're in China but love Paris and luxury, you should visit Tianducheng. The area impressively replicates Paris—from the buildings surrounding the 108-meter replica of the Eiffel Tower to the Champs-Elysees' fountain. The replica is a sight to behold even though it's less than half of the real size, actually closer to a third.
如果你身在中國,卻鐘情巴黎的奢華,那么你應當去天都城逛逛。從108米高的埃菲爾鐵塔復制品周圍的建筑到香榭麗舍大街的噴泉,簡直是巴黎的復制品,讓人印象深刻。雖然那里不及巴黎實景的一半大小,實際上接近1/3,但是很值得一看。
Paris in Tianducheng has a residential neighborhood around the Eiffel Tower, a gated community that protects practically no one. It is built to accommodate 10,000 people, but far fewer people than that live there.
天都城的巴黎在埃菲爾鐵塔復制品附近興建了一個居民區(qū),社區(qū)雖然有大門,實際上里面沒有多少人需要保護。這里計劃供一萬人居住,但是實際在里面生活的人遠沒有那么多。
第九名 中國蘇州的倫敦塔橋
If an English person finds their trip to China culturally shocking, they can take solace in the faux English replicas. Those with an eye for authenticity will notice that the Tower Bridge in Suzhou does not have a raising mechanism. The original has two towers while the replica has four towers connected through skywalks and elevators.
如果英格蘭人在中國游覽期間遭遇文化沖擊,那么他們可以在這座英國建筑復制品那里尋找安慰。較真的人會注意到,蘇州的塔橋沒有起吊裝置。原版塔橋有兩座塔,但是蘇州的復制品有四座塔,通過天橋和電梯連接。
第八名 天津的意大利佛羅倫薩
Florentia Village is a great place to visit if you have a taste for pricey Italian dining and shopping in Tianjin. This shopping center is definitely an Italian knockoff. But no matter how fake it might be, shoppers should be strapped with real, cold, hard cash.
如果你想在天津吃昂貴的意大利餐、購物,那么佛羅倫薩小鎮(zhèn)是個不錯的地方。這個購物中心無疑是山寨的意大利。但是不論這里有多山寨,消費者們還是要有真金白銀才行。
This $220 million investment is nothing to be scoffed at. It's fascinating that expensive brands such as Armani, Prada, Versace, and more have placed their shops in a replica shopping center.
可不要小瞧這處投資2.2億美元的購物中心。阿瑪尼、普拉達、范思哲還有越來越多的奢侈品牌都將店面開到了這里。
第七名 3D吉薩金字塔
Great minds at Harvard University, Dassault Systemes, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston have collaborated to make an impressive replica of an Egyptian 3-D world. High-performance projectors and a wide, curved screen provide a fully immersive experience for students learning about the structures of ancient Egypt.
哈佛大學、達索系統公司與波士頓美術館的有才之士聯手制作了令人震驚的埃及3D模型。高性能投影機以及一幅寬大的曲面屏幕給學習古埃及建筑的學生們提供了全面的浸入式體驗。
第六名 美國田納西州納什維爾的希臘帕臺農神廟
Witnessing the replica of Greece's Parthenon in Tennessee isn't free. Even though this historic building is fake and completely out of place, the original casts for the marble sculptures are authentic and date back to 438 BC.
要在田納西州看希臘的帕臺農神廟復制品可不是免費的。雖然這棟古建筑是仿造的,并且與周邊格格不入,但是澆筑大理石雕塑所用的原版模子是真的,歷史可以追溯到公元前438年。
第五名 美國伊利諾伊州奈爾斯的奈爾斯斜塔
In the 1920s, Robert Ilg got an idea that he wanted to construct a 22-acre park in Illinois with two swimming pools. But he was confronted with the issue of unsightly water towers which provided water for the pools. Then an ingenious idea popped into his mind to develop a replica of the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" to hide the water tanks. At 29 meters tall, this replica is half the size of the original in Pisa, Italy.
上世紀20年代,羅伯特•伊爾克突發(fā)奇想,要在伊利諾伊州建造一個22英畝的帶有兩個游泳池的公園。但是,他遇到了一個問題,給游泳池供水的水塔很難看。于是他靈機一動,干脆修建一個山寨版的"比薩斜塔",來遮掩水箱。這座斜塔高29米,只有意大利比薩斜塔的一半高。
第四名 日本的自由女神像
In fact, there are three replicas of well-known the Statue of Liberty in Japan—one each in Odaiba, Shimoda, and Osaka.
美國著名的自由女神像僅在日本就有三座復制品,分別位于御臺場、下田和大阪。
第三名 迪拜的獵鷹奇觀城
The Seven Wonders of the World are set to be recreated in Falconcity of Wonders in Dubai. The city is host to replicas of the pyramids, Taj Arabia, Tower of Pisa, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Eiffel Tower, and the Great Wall of China. Taj Arabia is a replica of the Taj Mahal. The luxury community is still in the process of being built after many years of delays.
世界七大奇跡將在迪拜的獵鷹奇觀城重現。這座城市要再建金字塔、阿拉伯版的泰姬陵、比薩斜塔、巴比倫空中花園、埃菲爾鐵塔以及中國長城。這座阿拉伯泰姬陵仿造的是印度泰姬陵。奢華的獵鷹奇觀城在經過多年的延期后目前仍在建設中。
第二名 摩登原始人石屋
Who would have known that it's such a popular idea to live in a house that's modeled after the Flintstones' home? A theme park spanning six acres is dedicated to Fred and his lifestyle. It sits 48 kilometers outside of the Grand Canyon's south rim. The park is one of a few different Flintstones-themed parks in the US.
誰能想到生活在《摩登原始人》那樣的石屋里的想法是這么受歡迎。這個面積六英畝的主題公園是為弗萊德和他的生活方式準備的,坐落在科羅拉多大峽谷南邊48公里外。這座公園是美國境內幾個不同的《摩登原始人》主題公園中的一個。
第一名 泰坦尼克復制品
The Titanic II is being created by billionaire Clive Palmer. The design and decor of Titanic II will match the era of its predecessor. The replica of the iconic ship will even contain replicas of the original lifeboats. It set to open at the end of 2017. Titanic II will not be taking its old route. Instead, it will travel from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai.
億萬富翁克萊夫•帕爾默正在建造泰坦尼克二號。泰坦尼克二號的設計與裝飾與其原型所屬的時代風格相匹配,甚至將復制原船上的救生艇。這艘船預計2017年底開放營業(yè)。泰坦尼克二號不會走原船的路線,而是從中國江蘇開往迪拜。
