Japan's New Train Will Be "Invisible"
日本发明“透明火车”
Japan is famous for its state-of-the-art high-speed railway system. In 2015, its Magnetic Levitation 1 or Maglev 2 train, which gets its name because it hovers 3 10 cm above the tracks, set a new speed world record of 375 mph (603km/hr). Now the innovative 4 island nation wants to build a train that features a mirror-like exterior 5 and blends in so well with the environment, that it will be practically "invisible."
日本一直以先进的高速火车系统而闻名。日本的磁悬浮列车，因其悬在轨道上空10厘米而得名。在2015年，还创造了最快时速记录（603千米每小时）的世界纪录。这个创新的国家一直没闲着。现在正计划设计镜面外壳，能与周围环境融为一体的“隐形”火车。
The train, which is expected to be ready by 2018, is being built by Seibu Railway to commemorate 6 the company's 100th anniversary. It is the brainchild of famous Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima. The winner of the prestigious 7 2010 Pritzker Architecture Award, says she is excited at the prospect 8 of creating something that will move through different environments, as opposed to designing a stationary 9 building.
此款火车大约2018年正式推出，是西武集团为庆祝其100周年纪念日而设计的。设计者是日本著名设计师妹岛和世。她也是2010建筑学最高荣誉“普利兹克奖”的获得者。比起平时设计的静态建筑，她对此次设计感到异常兴奋。
The idea of developing something that will reflect the surrounding scenery is particularly exciting given that the train's 111-mile route through Japan goes through a varied 10 landscape ranging from the mountains of Chichibu to the tall skyscrapers 11 of Tokyo.
该火车总行程长达111英里，从秩父山到东京的摩天大楼，沿途会经过不同的风景。想到火车能一直与沿途风景共存，会是多么美妙的一件事！
While the exterior of the train is slick and ultramodern, don't expect the interior to be as stark 12. The architect wants it to be a place "where large numbers of people can all relax in comfort, in their own way, like a living room, so that they think to themselves 'I look forward to riding that train again.'" We have a feeling that attracting passengers to ride aboard this radical 13 "invisible" train will not be an issue!
火车外壳会很光滑，设计感也超现代。但车厢内部环境也不会差！妹岛和世想让车厢内部能“同时容纳很多人在其中放松休闲，就像一个客厅。让旅客能不虚此行，期待下次再来。”对于这么炫酷的列车，我们觉得乘客一定会不请自来。
