位于北京白石桥路45号的人济山庄小区B栋楼顶天台上惊现一栋两层别墅,假山大树俱全。此为顶层一住户用6年时间建成,被网友称为北京“最牛违建”。昨日,海淀城管已在该违建住户门口张贴了限期整改通知书,要求其15天之内申诉或自行拆除,否则将报经海淀区政府批准后予以强拆。
 
【相关英文报导】
 
The owner of an illegally-built two-story "rooftop villa" constructed on the rooftop of a high-rise apartment building in Beijing said Tuesday that he would tear it down within 15 days, after local authorities posted a notice on his door Monday and attracted wide public attention.
在北京一座高楼大厦屋顶,一位业主违章搭建了一座两层的“空中楼阁”。海淀城管于周一在他家门上贴了整改通知,责令其15天内拆除“空中楼阁”,这一事件吸引了广泛关注。之后,业主在周二表示同意拆除。
 
Zhang Biqing, the owner of a penthouse in a 26-story building in Renji Shanzhuang, a residential compound in Beijing's Haidian district, admitted Tuesday that he illegally built a small sunlight room on the rooftop, and gradually expanded it with rocks, trees and artificial landscapes that take up some 800 square meters, reported the Legal Mirror.
据法制晚报报道,这座26层高的大楼位于北京海淀区的小区人济山庄,顶层业主名叫张必清。本周二,他承认违章搭建了一个小型阳光房,并逐步添置了假山、树木和其他人造景观,最终占地近800平方米。
 
Zhang said that the structure is not a "villa" but said it is a grape trellis that he recently built to house vegetation as "thermal insulation" to reduce the heat absorbed by the rooftop in summer, and the "rocks" were made by a light-weight material to enclose the chimneys that would blow unpleasant kitchen and bathroom odors to his apartment, and he later added bonsai trees to make it "look good."
张必清说屋顶建筑并非是“空中楼阁”。只是因为夏日酷热,他搭了葡萄架作为屋顶绿化吸收热量,起到“热绝缘”的作用。而那些“假山”的材质十分轻巧,是为了解决顺着排气管道飘出的厨房和厕所异味而加上的。随后,张必清为了“美观”又装饰了些盆栽。
 
【单词讲解】
 
文中的rooftop villa可以解释为“空中楼阁”,直译为屋顶别墅。其中rooftop一词意为屋顶,与其相关的习惯用法有“shout something from the rooftops”,译为广而告之、公开宣布或是使众人皆知。villa则是别墅、庄园住宅的意思。在英国,寻常百姓住的房屋可大致分为三种类型:semi-detached house 两户相连房屋, detached house 独门独户的院落和 terraced house 连栋房屋。
 
另外,文中的thermal insulation,是一个科技术语,意思是热绝缘。类似于thermal shield(隔热层)。
