世界上最大的水下餐廳即將完工開業

Five meters below the surface of the North Sea, near the southernmost tip of Norway, Europe's first underwater restaurant is nearing completion.

在挪威最南端的北海海面下5米處，歐洲第一個水下餐廳即將完工。

The 110-foot long structure, an oblique concrete slab that looks like a sunken periscope, was submerged in July 2018 and work is now underway to complete the interiors, in anticipation of the public opening in spring 2019.

這座110英尺長的建築於2018年7月開始動工，外表看來像一個沉沒在水中的潛望鏡，該建築目前正在進行內部裝修，預計2019年春天對外開放。

The restaurant, called Under, is the design of Norwegian outfit Snohetta, which has made a name for itself with projects such as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, the Oslo Opera House, the National September 11 Memorial Pavilion and the renovation of Times Square in New York.

這個名爲Under的餐廳由斯諾赫塔建築事務所設計。該設計所之前設計過埃及亞歷山大圖書館、奧斯陸歌劇院、國家紀念館、紐約時代廣場改造等項目。

When finished, the structure will accommodate about 100 guests with a total internal area of about 500 square meters (5,300 square feet) set over three levels, offering unique underwater views of the surrounding marine environment through a 11-meter (36 feet) wide panoramic window.

水下餐廳共有三層，建成後可容納100名遊客，內部面積約500平方米（5300平方英尺）。11米（36英尺）寬的全景窗口在周圍海域形成了一個獨特的水下景觀。

The restaurant was built in about six months on a barge near the coast, then towed into position -- about 600 feet away -- with a heavy-lift vessel.

這家餐館在海岸附近的一艘駁船上建造了大約六個月，然後用一艘重型起重船拖到了大約600英尺外的位置。

To submerge the structure, containers filled with water were placed inside, before securing it to the sea floor with a total of 18 anchoring points.

爲了將該建築置入海中，要將裝滿水的容器放入其內部，並用18個錨點將其固定在海底。
