但谁能想到一个确切的词,来描述乡村上面那些传送高压电的丑陋高架建筑,它们总是纠结于公共关系的胜利和原始环境的破坏。
The latter, however, may soon be redeemed. The latest generation of electricity pylons are, in the eyes of some, at least, things of beauty in their own right.
不过,补救之法很快推出,看来,最新一代的电塔至少也能算得上个尤物吧。
The pylons in question have been designed by engineers at TenneT, the firm that runs the Netherlands national electricity grid, in collaboration with KEMA, a Dutch research company. Instead of a single lattice tower, the cables are supported by two elegant steel poles up to 65 metres high. There are no arms. The six cables that pass from one pylon to another are each borne by two insulators attached to the poles.
谈论的电塔由Tennel T的工程师设计,该公司同荷兰一家研究公司KEMA合作运营荷兰国家电网,两根细长的钢柱撑着电碳,高65米,没有杆,也不是一根架子塔。两个高塔之间通着6根电缆,每根有两个附在高塔上的绝缘体。
The resulting arrangement, though hardly invisible, is reasonably elegant.
这样安排几乎看不到什么,相对体面些。
As much to the point, though, it has technological advantages.
