伟大欧洲国家的
文化 历史和工程设计

爱尔兰共和国位于欧洲大♥陆♥西海岸
The Republic of Ireland is situated off the west coast of continental Europe
东临爱尔兰海和大不列颠
with the Irish Sea and Great Britain to the east,
西临北大西洋
and the North Atlantic Ocean to the west.
爱尔兰西海岸崎岖不平
Ireland's west coast is rugged,
点缀其中的是众多小岛
和陡峭高耸的莫赫悬崖
dotted with small islands and the steep, rising Cliffs of Moher.
中部平地覆盖着郁郁葱葱的可耕地
Its central flatlands are covered with lush green arable fields,
由此也被称为“翡翠岛”
earning its nickname, the Emerald Isle.
其东部和南部海岸线是海上贸易
Its eastern and southern coastlines
传统产业的发源地
are home to traditional industries of sea trade,
主要人口中心 如科夫
and its major population centers, such as Cobh,
是泰坦尼克号♥的最后停靠港
the Titanic's last port of call,
这里是首都 都柏林
and the nation's capital city, Dublin.
都柏林占
全国四百九十万人口的四分之一
Dublin is home to a quarter of the country's 4.9 million population.
这座充满活力的城市
体现了这座岛屿
This vibrant city embodies Ireland's passion for language,
对语言 文学和音乐的热情
literature and music.
随着十二月的开始
山上迎来了今年的第一场霜冻
As December begins, the first frosts arrive in the hills,
全国的山峰也随着冬天的到来
and the nation's peaks take on a dusting of snow
披上了层层雪花
with the arrival of winter.
冬季
爱尔兰与加拿大位于同一纬度
Ireland sits at the same latitude as Canada,
但温暖的大西洋洋流则意味着
这里的冬季气候温和
but warm Atlantic currents means it has very mild winters.
这里很少下大雪
It rarely snows heavily here
繁忙的海港从未结过冰
and its busy seaports never ice over.
冬季时 岛屿南海岸的科克港 人来人往
In winter, Cork Harbor on Ireland's south coast is a hive of activity.
每年有二十五万名乘客
乘坐游轮经过这里
250,000 cruise passengers pass through the region each year,
这里有二十四万个集装箱
抵达并承接
while 240,000 containers arrive and ship out
爱尔兰最大的食品出口
some of the country's biggest food exports,
如肉类 黄油和奶酪
like meat, butter and cheese.
连接农场和港口的乡村公路
The country roads that connect the farms to the port
只能勉强支持繁忙的交通
can only just support the busy traffic.
所以爱尔兰还在逐步发展
So, Ireland is updating.
科克郡正在承接爱尔兰最大的
建筑项目之一
County Cork is undergoing one of the nation's biggest construction projects.
这项耗资两亿一千八百万欧元的计划
This €218 million scheme
将开拓一条绕过麦克鲁姆镇的新主路
will see a major new road bypass the town of Macroom,
包括横跨拉尼河的雄伟大桥
including an ambitious new bridge over the river Laney.
支撑桥梁的桥墩
It's taken the construction team four months
耗时施工队四个月的时间
to build the massive piers that will support the bridge section.
接下来 将铺设七根 五十米长的巨大混凝土梁
Next, they will lay seven enormous 50-meter long concrete beams
以横跨缺口
to span the gap.
这些梁是爱尔兰
有史以来最长的横梁
These beams are the longest ever used in an Irish bridge.
这座打破纪录的横梁
The record-breaking beams
目前位于两百公里外的制♥造♥厂
are currently 200 kilometers away at the manufacturing plant.
菲利普·哈斯勒姆和他的团队
要在岛上狭小而曲折的农村城镇中
And it's up to Philip Haslam and his team to get all seven to site
把这七根横梁全部送到现场
through Ireland's tight and twisting rural turns.
我们必须要全心全意地工作
You have to put 100% into the job
项目迫在眉睫 一旦犯错
because things can be that close and if you make a mistake,
都会造成很大的损失
you could cause a lot of damage.
菲利普最大的挑战在于
前方的比尔小镇
Philip's biggest challenge lies up ahead at the small town of Birr.
必须经过三个高危急转弯
才能到达开放的主路
He must negotiate three perilously tight turns to reach the open road.
为了能够驾驭棘手的地形
To help navigate the tricky terrain,
他使用了不可思议的分体式运输机
he uses an incredible split transporter.
巴纳戈尔预制混凝土
前方用一辆卡车固定横梁
A truck holds the beam at the front
后方有一个六轴平台
and at the back, a six-axel platform
独♥立♥引导横梁末端绕过狭窄弯道
independently steers the end of the beam around tight bends.
菲利普的工作是用遥控器
引导运输车的后轮
Philip's job is to guide the rear wheels of the transporter with a remote control.
这项工作更为艰难之处在于
And to make his job even tougher,
当深夜比尔镇的人们都已熟睡
道路都通畅时
he's making this mega move in the middle of the night,
菲利普才可以进行作业
while the roads are clear and the people of Birr are fast asleep.
在准备过程中
In preparation,
他的团队已经拆除了一些
在比尔的红绿灯和交通标识
his team have already removed some traffic lights and signs in Birr.
但他最大的挑战是
避开狭窄街道上的房♥屋
But his biggest challenge is avoiding the homes that line the narrow streets.
当卡车缓慢地通过第一个棘手的弯道
As the truck inches through the first tricky corners
进入城市广场时
and into the town square,
运输车必须立即九十度急转弯
the transporter has to make a sharp 90-degree turn.
但这种作业方式向外摆动横梁后部
But this maneuver swings the rear of the beam out,
严重危及城镇中心
二百五十年历史的建筑
threatening the town center's 250-year-old buildings.
随着卡车的移♥动♥ 梁的后部
As the truck makes its move,
距离发生意外只有几厘米的差距
the rear of the beam is just centimeters from disaster.
你看到了吗?
Do you see him?
是时候开动了
Start firing off.
菲利普以最沉着冷静的姿态
With the coolest of composure,
遥控着后方的转向架
Philip remotely steers the rear bogey
引导巨大的横梁安全通过
狭窄街道的尽头
and guides the massive beams safely past the end of the tight street.
轮机手需要仔细观察
As a steersman, you just have to watch and make sure that
并确保横梁能和墙保持几英寸的距离
you're just gonna keep a couple of inches off the wall to get around
紧盯着每一处细节 每一处
because you need every inch and square, every inch.
在完成了最困难的部分后
With the hardest part of the job complete,
菲利普跳上转向架
Philip jumps on the bogey and steers the beam
引导横梁跨过镇上的圣诞装饰
past the town's Christmas decorations.
通常家用车约三个小时的旅程
A journey that usually lasts around three hours in a family car
这些巨型卡车需要三天时间才能完成
takes these mega trucks three days.
一夜之间气温骤降
冰雪覆盖整个路面
Overnight, temperatures plummet and snow and ice line the route,
使这个任务的剩余部分更加艰难
making the rest of this trek even tougher.
每当遇到环形路或棘手的转角时
And Philip's specialist skills are required
都需要菲利普的专业技能才可完成
each time they come to a roundabout or tricky corner.
这是一个相当漫长又紧张的过程
It has been quite a long journey and it is tense.
每当顺利完成的时候
It's... And, you know, coming down the road...
大家都长吁一口气
When you get there, everyone just has a little bit of a sigh of relief,
因为真的很高兴能成功完成
and they're just glad to get there.
穿过冰天雪地
They make it through the snow and ice
将横梁运送到施工现场
to deliver the beams to the construction site.
我们的航拍机拍到了起重机
将横梁排列 使这座破纪录的大桥
And our aerial cameras capture cranes hauling them into place
逐渐成型的画面
as the record-breaking bridge takes shape.
七根横梁成就了坚实的上部结构
The seven long beams form the solid superstructure of the bridge.
这座耗资数百万欧元的建设项目
And this multimillion euro construction project is now a step closer
距离实现每天运载多达两万辆汽车
穿越拉尼河又近了一步
to carrying up to 20,000 vehicles a day across the river Laney.
在冬天 当地人冒着严寒
In winter, locals brave the cold
在都柏林海滨参加
一年一度的圣诞冬泳
for the yearly Christmas swim on Dublin's city seafront.
爱尔兰在一百多年前成为现代共和国
Ireland was made a modern republic over 100 years ago.
如今 体育运动是爱尔兰人表达
And today, sport is one of the ways Irish people express
其自信独♥立♥精神的方式之一
their proud spirit of independence.
爱尔兰足球 球员们携带足球 轻盈弹跳
Gaelic football, where players carry and bounce a soccer-like ball,
以及草地上最快速的运动
爱尔兰曲棍球
and hurling, the fastest sport played on grass.
这些独特的爱尔兰运动的主场
The home for these uniquely Irish games
就在这个国家的首都 都柏林
sits in the nation's capital, Dublin.
