reat news for Celine Dion fans and James Cameron enthusiasts1: The Titanic2 is set to sail again.
席琳·迪翁的粉丝们,还有詹姆斯·卡梅隆的狂热爱好者们,福利来啦:泰坦尼克号要再度启程。
Titanic II, a replica3 of the original Titanic, will make its first voyage in 2022. It will have room for 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members and have the same cabin layout and decor as the original legendary4 ocean liner.
泰坦尼克贰号,即原来泰坦尼克号的仿版,将会在2022年首次航行。新船上有可以容纳2400名乘客,900名船员,内部装饰和原来那艘沉入海底的传奇别无二致。
The $500 million ship, which will be built in China, is set to make its maiden5 voyage from Dubai to Southhampton, U.K in 2022.
新船造价5亿美元,由中国完成制造,2022年首次航行将从迪拜到英国的南开普敦。
The Titanic II will then embark6 on global routes, starting with the exact path of the original ship, traveling from Southampton to New York, minus the small detour7 to the ocean bottom, presumably.
之后泰坦尼克贰号会开始全球游行,和之前那一艘行程一样,将从南开普敦开往纽约,不过应该不会有去海底的那一段。
Making things safer for this journey at least: enough lifeboats, a hull8 that's welded rather than riveted9, and a period of global warming that is melting all the icebergs11. (Some scientists argue however that melting ice has led to more dangerous icebergs,not fewer.)
为了保证旅程的安全,船上配备有足够的救生船,船体是被焊接而不是铆接,而且全球变暖大部分冰山都融化了。(有些科学家称正在融化的冰会有形成更多危险的冰山)。
Tickets aren't on sale yet, so there's no word as to whether they are selling round trip tickets or learning from experience and starting with one-way fares.
船票还没有开售,也不知道他们是销售往返票还是吸取经验售个单程票。
The original liner sank after hitting an iceberg10 on April 15, 1912 during its maiden voyage.
原来的泰坦尼克号,是在1912年的4月15日第一次航行的时候撞上冰山。
