2023考研英语每日一句(67)

句子：

Because building with glulam and cross-laminated timber is still in its infancy, it can be more expensive than conventional construction: the Mjøstårnet(一栋建筑的名字) development cost approximately a hundred and thirteen million dollars, about eleven per cent more than an equivalent development would have cost in concrete and steel. Although some regions of the world have plentiful forests of harvestable, renewable trees—Germany, Austria, Canada— others lack a ready supply of wood to turn into engineered timber. Despite Dubai’s appetite for architectural innovation, it wouldn’t be a sensible location for a timber tower: the ecological cost of shipping the wood would cancel out its green credentials.

思考题：

A.trees are highly priced

句子解析：

1.Because building with glulam and cross-laminated timber is still in its infancy, it can be more expensive than conventional construction: the Mjøstårnet development cost approximately a hundred and thirteen million dollars, about eleven per cent more than an equivalent development would have cost in concrete and steel.

参考译文：因为利用胶合木和交叉层压木材的建筑仍处于起步阶段，其成本会贵于传统建筑：Mjøstårnet的开发成本约为1.13亿美元，比同等规模的钢混建筑开发成本多出约11%。

2.Although some regions of the world have plentiful forests of harvestable, renewable trees—Germany, Austria, Canada— others lack a ready supply of wood to turn into engineered timber.

参考译文：尽管世界上一些地区拥有丰富的可收获、可再生树木的森林——德国、奥地利、加拿大——但其他地区缺乏现成的木材储备，以转化为工程木材。

3.Despite Dubai’s appetite for architectural innovation, it wouldn’t be a sensible location for a timber tower: the ecological cost of shipping the wood would cancel out its green credentials.

参考译文：尽管迪拜对建筑创新有兴趣，但它并不是建造木质塔楼的明智选址：运输木材的生态成本将抵消其环保好处。
