把南极冰山拖到阿联酋供水？这不是开玩笑。 阿联酋的一位富翁计划耗资10亿元将南极一块冰山拖回阿联酋，而且今年他就将尝试把冰山拖到澳大利亚或南非。这位富翁表示，冰山能供应新鲜饮用水，能改善气候，还能拉动旅游业，一举多得。 An inventor and entrepreneur from the UAE plans to drag an iceberg to Australia or South Africa later this year - at a cost of $80million. 阿联酋的一位发明家兼企业家计划今年晚些时候将一座冰山拖到澳大利亚或南非，预计耗资8000万美元（约合人民币5.5亿元）。 Abdulla Alshehi says a chunk of Antarctic ice will be towed to either Cape Town or Perth at some point in 2019. 阿卜杜拉·阿尔谢希称，今年将把一块南极冰山拖到开普敦或珀斯。 The mission will act as a test run for a much more ambitious project which he hopes will end with a hunk of ice measuring 1.2miles by 550 yards being taken to the UAE. 此次任务只是试水，未来还有更加宏伟的计划。他希望最后能将一大块长1.2英里（1.9千米）宽550码（0.5千米）的冰山带回阿联酋。 The aim would be to provide the Emirates with a steady supply of fresh drinking water, along with a tourist attraction. 这一计划的目标是为阿联酋提供新鲜饮用水的稳定来源，并将冰山作为一个旅游景点。 |
