Source text - English In Galata there are two hundred taverns and wine-shops where the
Infidels divert themselves with music and drinking. The taverns are
celebrated for the wines of Ancona, Mudanya, Smyrna and Tenedos.
The word gunaha ( temptation ) is most particularly to be applied to
the taverns of Galata because there all kinds of playing and dancing boys, mimics and fools flock together and delight themselves, day and night. When I passed through this district I saw many bareheaded and bare-footed lying drunk in the street; some confessed aloud the state they were in by singing such couplets as these : “I drank the ruby wine, how drunk, how drunk am I! /A prisoner of the locks, how mad, how mad am I!” Another sang, “My foot goes to the tavern, nowhere else./ My hand grasps tight the cup and nothing else. Cut short your sermon for no ears have I/ But for the bottle’s murmur, nothing else.”
| Translation - Chinese 加拉塔有两百家酒馆和酒肆,异教徒伴着靡靡之音纵酒饮乐。酒馆售卖的酒来自安科纳、穆达尼亚、士麦那和忒涅多斯岛,远近闻名。土耳其语“gunaha”乃诱惑之意,用来形容加拉塔的酒馆实为贴切无比。这里男伶俳优你方唱罢我登场,日日笙歌,夜夜狂欢。我路经此区,随处可见光头赤足的醉汉当街躺卧,有人大声哼唱着自白打油诗:“红红的美酒,让我不省人事/冷冷的镣铐,锁住我这疯子。”另一个接着唱道:“酒馆钉住我的双脚/酒杯与手死死粘牢/不要在我耳边布道说教/只有瓶中蜜语让我心跳。” |

Source text - English The concept is relatively simple: attach a weld head to the end of a robotic arm and deposit small amounts of weld material at a time, resulting in self-supporting metal rods and structures that are essentially made of a multitude of weld points. In this way an entire bridge can be built across a canal in Amsterdam one millimeter at a time with the robots building their own support structure and working from both sides of the canal towards the middle. The plan is to have two robots working on each side of the bridge, moving along with the structure as the two halves of the bridge work their way to the middle. | Translation - Chinese 这一概念并不复杂:将焊接头安装在机器人手臂端部进行施工,每次焊接都会沉积下少量焊料,如此积少成多而形成具有足够强度的金属棒材和结构。运用这项技术能在阿姆斯特丹一条运河上建造一整座桥梁——机器人在运河两岸同时施工,以每焊一次增加一毫米的进度实施支撑结构的焊造,直至最终桥梁合龙。该项目拟用两台机器人分从两头施工,每台机器人负责半座桥梁的焊造,直到两者在中点成功“会师”。 |
