解析教材
Nature in Architecture
Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day.In fact, we are so used to them that we may even take them for granted without realising how much inspiration they have given us. When we look at a pine cone, we might think how much it looks like the tiles on a roof.(1) An open flower might make us think how closely it resembles an umbrella. It is natural to think in this way, but of course it wasn't the umbrella that inspired the flower or the roof that inspired the pine cone.(2)
Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating designs around us, including those in architecture.From Barcelona's forest-like Sagrada Familia to the modern style of Beijing's Water Cube, nature is presented in various architectural designs.Today, architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way nature works(3) or even to make natural organisms part of a building(4).
建筑中的自然元素
我们身边都有花、草、树木,并且每天我们都能欣赏它们的美。事实上,我们已经习惯了它们的存在,甚至可能把它们视为理所当然,却没有意识到它们给了我们多少灵感。当看到一个松果,我们可能会想它看起来多么像屋顶上的瓦片。一朵开着的花可能会让我们觉得它和雨伞是多么的相似。以这种方式思考是很自然的,但是并不是雨伞给了花朵以灵感,也不是屋顶给了松果以灵感。
我们身边许多最迷人的设计,包括建筑设计,它们的灵感都来源于大自然。从巴塞罗那的森林般的神圣家族大教堂到现代风格的北京水立方,自然元素在各种建筑设计中都得到体现。今天,建筑师不断探寻捕捉自然形态之美的方法,模仿自然运行的方式,甚至让天然有机物成为建筑的一部分。

ArtScience Museum,Singapore
People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science will enjoy Singapore's ArtScience Museum.(5) The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits(6).Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront promenade and the water that surrounds it.Its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space.The water is then recycled through the building's plumbing system.Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.
新加坡艺术科学博物馆
对探索艺术与科学之间的关系感兴趣的人会乐于参观新加坡的艺术科学博物馆。该建筑旨在展示自然与建筑物所在的现代城市环境之间的联系。形状像一朵莲花,它漂浮在海滨步行道,四周被水环绕。它的屋顶可收集雨水,并让其顺着管道向下流至博物馆的中心,形成35米高的瀑布。然后,水通过建筑的管道系统循环使用。游客常常惊奇地发现,他们置身于一座非常真实地捕捉到了自然形态之美的城市建筑中。

(6)in which引导定语从句,修饰先行词environment,相当于where。
The Eastgate Centre, Harare
Harare's Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry. To use biomimicry is to create structures based on natural forms and processes.Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary in which termites were constructing their nests.The insects built mounds covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds.In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in holes.During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as it reaches the middle of the building(7).At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside.The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and heating systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less to run.
哈拉雷东门大厦
哈拉雷东门大厦是仿生学极好的典范。利用仿生学就是在自然形态和进程的基础上创造建筑结构。津巴布韦建筑师米克·皮尔斯在观看一部白蚁筑巢的自然纪录片时受到启发,从而设计了东门大厦。这些白蚁在搭建的蚁丘上留有小洞,以保证蚁丘内外空气自由流通。同样地,东门大厦的“皮肤”上也布满了洞。白天,暖空气通过这些洞被吸进建筑物,在流向建筑中部的过程中冷却下来。晚上,白天墙壁吸收的热量会使室内的冷空气变暖,创造舒适的内部温度。该设计减少了对传统空调和供暖系统的需求,因此这座建筑的运行能耗和成本都较低。

(7)as引导时间状语从句。
The Algae House, Hamburg
The world's first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany.The surface of the apartment building is covered in panels that contain algae.The algae are fed with liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to grow.In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade.The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building.And that's not all—the algae inside the panels can be harvested and used to produce fuel.The building therefore not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy.
汉 堡 藻 屋
世界上第一座以藻类供电的建筑位于德国汉堡。公寓楼的表面覆盖着含有藻类的面板。藻类以液态营养素和二氧化碳为养料,以促进自身的生长。在明亮的阳光下,它们长得更快,提供阴凉。这些面板还能从太阳中获取热量,并将其转化为提供给建筑物的能量。这还不是全部——面板内的藻类可以收集起来被用来做生产燃料。因此,该建筑不仅能对环境做出反应,减少能耗,而且自身可以产生可再生能源来减少对环境的破坏。
Creating buildings such as these enables us to live in closer harmony with our environment. To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the simplest organisms can help teach us how to achieve this.(8)
建造诸如此类的建筑能使我们与我们的环境更和谐地相处。在保护明天的世界的同时满足当下的需求,这可能是一项挑战,但即使是最简单的生物体也能帮忙,教我们如何实现这一目标。

(8)but连接表示转折关系的并列句;第一个分句中动词不定式短语To meet the needs of today为主语,while protecting the world of tomorrow为时间状语。
