Part A :

Good morning.

早上好。

I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the city: the Brackenside Open-Air Swimming Pool and the children's Adventure Playground in Central Park.

我很高兴有这个机会说一些关于城市中的 两个令人振奋的新发展:Brackenside露天泳池和儿 童游乐园的中央公园。

As many of you may know, the idea for these initiatives came from you, the public, in the extensive consultation exercise which the City Council conducted last year.

正如你们许多人可能都知道 的一样,这些创意的理念都来自你们和公众,还有在市 议会去年进行了广泛的谘询。

And they have been realised using money from the SWRDC - the South West Regional Development Commission.

他们意识到可以使用 来自SWRDC-也就是西南地区发展委员会的钱。

First of all, Brackenside Pool.

首先,Brackenside泳池。

As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the sea front 30 years ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe.

许多老年成员可能记得,曾 经30年前,在海前面有一个很好的露天泳池,但是由 于被认为是不安全的,所以不得不关闭掉。

For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally renowned architect Ellen Wendon, who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area, with up to the minute features such as a recycling system the only one of its kind in the world - which enables seawater to be used in the pool.

对于这个 新的温水游泳池的设计,我们非常高兴能获得国际 知名建筑师Ellen Wendon,他成功地结合了非常迷 人的20世纪30年代的设计,这也很好的融入了该地 区的其他建筑物,也有最新的特点,比如循环系统一 也是唯一的可以使泳池中的汗水再次被利用。

Now, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we're hoping to attract, but the design is deceptive and there have been rigorous checks about capacity.

现在,出现了相当多的当地媒体的讨论,关于是否会有足够的空间来容纳我们希望能吸引到的游客人数,但设计也是具有欺骗性的,也有过关于容量的严格检查。

Also, just in case you were wondering, we're on schedule for a June 15th opening date and well within budget: a testimony to the excellent work of local contractors Hickman's.

另外,以防你想知道,我们在日程安排上定的是6月15日开幕并且在预算之内:证明了当地承包商希克曼的的出色工作。

We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th.

我们希望在6月15日可以吸引来尽可能多的人。

We have engaged award- winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open and there'll be drinks and snacks available at the pool side.

我们邀请了获奖女演员Coral来宣布泳池开幕式届时也会在泳池边提供提供饮料和小吃。

There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance: you will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.

同时也会有一个面向大众的竞赛来决定在泳池入口处使用哪个雕塑:你将决定我们应该使用哪个城市中的著名历史人物的雕塑。

Part B :

And now, moving on to the Central Park Playground, which we're pleased to announce has just won the Douglas Award for safety: the news came through only last week.

而现在,再说一下中央公园游乐场,我们很高兴地宣布刚刚获得关于安全性的道格拉斯奖:这个消息上周刚传出。

The unique design is based on the concept of the Global Village, with the playground being divided into six areas showing different parts of the world each with a representative feature.

独特的设计是基于地球村的概念,操场被划分成六个区域显示具有代表性的世界各个不同地区的特征。

For example, there is a section on Asia, and this is represented by rides and equipment in the shape of snakes, orang utans, tigers and so on fauna native to the forests of the region.

举例来说,有一个关于亚洲的区域,由蛇,猩猩,老虎形状等的娱乐设施,动物原产于该森林区域来表示。

Moving south to the Antarctic we couldn't run to an ice rink I'm afraid but opted instead for climbing blocks in the shape of mountains I thought they could have had slides for the glaciers but the designers did want to avoid being too literal! Then on to South America and here the theme is El Dorado games replicating the search for mines full of precious stones.

再说南至南极的部分,我们不能开设溜冰场,我很遗憾只能改为选择山的形状的岩石来攀登,我认为他们可能有关于冰川的幻灯片,但设计师却希望避免过于字面。然后在南美洲,这里的主题是埃尔多拉多,复制寻求矿山全面珍贵的石头的游戏。

And then moving up to North America, here there was considerable debate I know the contribution of cinema and jazz was considered but the designers finally opted for rockets and the International Space Station.

然后再向上移动至北美部分,这里有相当大的争论,我知道电影和爵士被认为是设计师的贡献,但最终选择了火箭和国际空间站。

Eastwards to Europe then, and perhaps the most traditional choice of all the areas: medieval castles and other fortifications.

向东到欧洲的话,也许是所有的地区中最传统的选择:中世纪城堡和其他防御工事。

Then last, but not least, moving south to Africa and a whole set of wonderful mosaics and trails to represent the great rivers of this fascinating and varied continent.

然后最后,但并非不重要,南下到非洲,以及一整套精彩的马赛克和游径来代表这个迷人的和变化多端的大陆的河流。

Now, the opening date for our Global Playground is 10th July.

在,我们的全球游乐园的开幕日期是7月10日。

And again we'd love to see you there so make a date and come and see this magnificent, original new amenity right in the heart of the city.

再一次,我们很乐意在那里看到你,所以记得作为一个约定来看看在城市心脏中的这个宏伟的,原来的新设施。
