5 Weirdest ways to travel
世界上最不同尋常的五種交通方式
Number 5 - The Shortest Railway in the World
5.世界上最短的鐵路
In downtown Los Angeles in Angels Flight specifically,you will find the world’s shortest railway which lasts a mere 30 seconds. The funniest thing about this however is that it is believed that Angels Flight has carried more passengers per mile than any other railway in the world, making it not only the shortest in length, but also the most travelled.
在洛杉磯市區(qū)，具體說是在天使鐵路，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)世界上最短的鐵路，火車只運行30秒種就跑完全程。然而，最有趣的是，據(jù)信天使鐵路每公里載客人數(shù)超過世界上其他任何鐵路，使它不僅成為長度最短，也是速度最快的鐵路。
Number 4 - The Aeroscraft
4.浮力輔助飛行器
Until the Hindenburg tragedy of 1937, zeppelins were considered the future of air transport.They all but disappeared for the next 75 years,but are now poised to make a comeback. This is where The Aeroscraft comes in! The Aeroscraft is designed by Worldwide Aeros Corp thanks to a $3 million grant from the U.S. government and it is currently undergoing testing. It will be available to customers in mid-2015, when airships will be rented out for a year at a time.
1937年興登堡號空難之前，齊伯林飛船被認為是未來空中飛行的趨勢。然而接下來75年它們消失了，現(xiàn)在卻準備回歸。浮力輔助飛行器Aeroscraft就在這時候誕生了！Aeroscraft是由Worldwide Aeros Corp公司設(shè)計，美國政府撥款300萬美元研發(fā)成功的，現(xiàn)在正進行測試。2015年中期乘客將可以搭乘，飛船一次可以租一年。
Number 3 - Return of the Titanic
3.泰坦尼克的回歸
A replica of the legendary ocean liner Titanic is scheduled to set sail in 2018. Australian mining billionaire/professor Clive Palmer and his Blue Star Line Company held a press conference in New York City to reveal the blueprints for Titanic II in 2013. Palmer claims the replica ship will make its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York (following the same path as the original),carrying 2,600 passengers in 850 cabins and yes, there will be a enough lifeboats for all this time around, if he can get the project off the ground.
傳奇般的豪華游輪泰坦尼克號的復制品預期將在2018年啟航。2013年，澳大利亞礦業(yè)億萬富翁Clive Palmer和他的藍星公司在紐約市召開新聞發(fā)布會，披露了泰坦尼克二號的藍圖。Palmer聲稱該游輪復制品將從南安普敦經(jīng)英格蘭到紐約（與泰坦尼克號的路線相同），共有850個船艙，搭乘2600位乘客，這次將會有足夠的救生船。
Number 2 - Space Elevator
2.太空升降艙
Yes you heard that correctly – a space elevator! In 2014, a Japanese construction giant, the Obayashi Corporation, announced it had the means to construct a space elevator and will have it up and running by the year 2050. The company said that the elevator would reach 59,652 miles into space and use robotic cars powered by magnetic linear motors to ferry cargo – human and otherwise – to a not yet built space station. Obayashi is hoping to cut down on the dangers and cost of space travel via rocket with the elevator.
是的，你沒聽錯——太空升降艙。2014年，日本建筑巨頭大林集團宣布有意建造一個太空升降艙，到2050年可以運行。該公司表示，升降艙將到達太空中59652英里的位置，使用磁動力機器人汽車來搭乘貨物，人以及其他，前往還未建造完成的空間站。大林集團希望與火箭相比能夠降低空間旅行的危險和成本。
Number 1 - Underwater Railway from China to USA
1.中美水下鐵路
China is taking the audacious, if not impossible,step of building a rail line underwater, which would, in theory, link it to the United States. Chinese officials are considering a route that would start in the country's northeast,thread through eastern Siberia and cross the Bering Strait, via a 125-mile long underwater tunnel into Alaska. The "China-Russia-Canada-America" would be approximately 8,000 miles long. China insists it does have the technology to do this huge task. Tens of thousands of miles of track for high-speed lines have already been laid so the project may be completed sooner than you would think.
中國正在嘗試連通中美的水下鐵路這一大膽舉措。中國官員正在考慮從東北地區(qū)穿過西伯利亞東部和白令海峽，沿途共125英里的水下隧道通往阿拉斯加的鐵路。“中國-俄羅斯-加拿大-美國”鐵路大約長達8000英里。中國堅持稱他們掌握了完成這一艱巨任務(wù)的技術(shù)。數(shù)千英里的高速鐵路已經(jīng)鋪設(shè)完成，竣工速度可能超過你想象。
