The 200-metre-high InTempo towers in Benidorm were billed as 'a vision of the future' and a symbol of Spain's reemergence from a crippling financial crisis. 西班牙贝尼多尔姆市建造了一栋200米高名为InTempo的大楼，标志“未来的象征”，向全世界展现他们已经摆脱了经济危机。 With 47 floors of living space it was intended to be the tallest residential building in Europe. But with only months until it is due for completion, contractors have hit upon a slight problem. 这栋住宅高47层，目标本是打算建成欧洲最高的住宅大楼。但是就在眼看还剩几个月竣工的时候，承包商才突然发现一个很棘手的问题。 They forgot to build a lift. 他们忘了装电梯！ The towers were originally designed to be only 20 floors high, but ambitious developers decided to double the scale of the project midway through. 大楼原本设计为20层高，但野心勃勃的开发人员中途决定把项目规模扩大一倍。 A lift exists for the first 20 floors, but beyond that there is only the stairs. And reports seen by Spain's El Pais newspaper suggest there is no more space for another lift or motor equipment. 头20层是有电梯的，但除了这20层就只有楼梯了。而《西班牙国家报》报道称，已经没有多余空间留给电梯或者其它电机设备了。 InTempo was dreamed up in the decade-long building boom that saw new structures leap up across Spain in the late Nineties and early Noughties. |
