请让我们上地图：中国较小城市为明星建筑疯狂 [英国媒体]

From egg-shaped concert halls to skyscrapers reminiscent of big pairs of pants China’s top cities are famously full of curious monuments to architectural ambition. But as land prices in the main metropolises have shot into the stratosphere developers have been scrambling to buy up plots in the country’s second and third-tier cities spawning a new generation of delirious plans in the provinces. President Xi Jinping may have issued a directive last year outlawing “oversized xenocentric weird” buildings but many of these schemes were already well under way; his diktat has proved to be no obstacle to mayoral hubris yet.

中国一线城市因为疯狂的建筑开发，充满了许多稀罕的纪念碑型建筑，从蛋形音乐厅（北京市人民大会堂西侧国家大剧院）到像大裤衩一样的摩天大楼（CCTV新总部大厦），但是因为一线城市土地价格已经到达顶峰，因此开发商争相购买国家第二、第三线的地皮策划打造出令人激动的新新省份。中国主席去年指出应停止“大型的、崇洋媚外的、丑陋的”建筑的修筑意见，不过有不少建筑方案已经在实施了；看来主席的命令并不能阻止地方的狂妄。

From Harbin “City of Music” to Dezhou “Solar Valley” provincial capitals are branding themselves as themed enclaves of culture and industry to attract inward investment and commissioning scores of bold buildings to match. Even where there is no demand city bureaucrats are relentlessly selling off land for development hawking plots as the primary form of income – accounting for 80% of municipal revenues in some cases. In the last two months alone 50 Chinese cities received a total of 453bn yuan (￡54bn) from land auctions  a 73% increase on last year and it’s the provincial capitals that are leading the way.

从哈尔滨的“音乐之城”到德州的“太阳谷”，省会城市正在给他们自己的文化和工业地区贴上特定主题来吸引外来投资，并且建造配套的外形奇特的建筑。即使没有需求，官僚们为了开发区不同寻常的计划仍在不断的抛售土地，以此作为收入的主要形式——在某些情况下，这占到了80%的市政收入。最近两个月里，50座中国城市从土地拍卖中总计收获了4530亿元（540亿英镑），比上一年增加了73%，领头羊就是这些省会城市。

The irony is that no architects are trying to duplicate Chinese architecture anywhere else on the planet. Are the Chinese so ashamed of their own culture that they have ditched it in favour of Internationalism. Recreating Oxford and Brugges in a Chinese city is one thing but I cannot imagine Brugges or Oxford recreating China any day soon. 

讽刺的是，其他任何地方的建筑师都不会复制中国的建筑。中国人对他们自己的文化感到如此羞耻以至于他们在国际浪潮中抛弃了它。在中国城市复制牛津和布鲁格斯是一回事，但是我无法想象在不久之后的某天，布鲁格斯或者牛津复制中国。

Travelling to many of these cities a very large amount of these new building projects either stand empty or will be so for many years to come. It is a total waste of resources and the architects that have contributed should ask themselves the questions:
1. Where did the architecture fees come from?
2. Should you be ashamed as an architect to have contributed to the "empty China dream" a headache for every Chinese citiy the tightly controlled pricing cartels that keep these building out of reach for 95% of the Chinese people and lead to a huge property bubble of seismic proportions.
Concluding the greed of these architects and developers will become the downfall of maybe a whole country in the near future. I remember Zaha Hadid designed a building in one of the most beautiful parts of the ancient city of Beijing destroying a huge part of the so called "Hutongs" in the east of the old city. Its a joke that she won prices for that and foreign architects' greed and sheer knowledge gap of how things really are in China is plain bad and might hunt them if they have any consciousness. Good piece but not much substance.

去过这些城市中的好几个，这些新建筑中很多要么是空空地立着，要么等几年后再如此。这完全是浪费资源，为这些建筑做贡献的设计师应该问他们自己这些问题：
1. 建筑的费用从哪来？
2. 你为是否应该感到耻辱——为“空空的中国梦”贡献力量，这是每个中国城市都头痛的问题，垄断企业紧紧控制的价格，使得这些建筑对于95%的中国人来说只能望洋兴叹，并且带来会造成巨大破坏力的房地产泡沫。
结论是，建筑师和开发商的贪婪也许会使整个国家在近未来沉沦。我想起扎哈·哈迪德在古老北京最美丽的区域设计了一个建筑，摧毁了东城的一大部分胡同。
她还为此获得奖励，就是个笑话。外国建筑师的贪婪，以及他们对中国东西该怎样的巨大知识鸿沟，完全是坏事。如果他们有任何自觉的话可能会将他们赶出去。东西不错但是没有任何意义。

What's funny is that this 'culture' has nothing to do with China and it's people. 
Which Chinese culture? There are 164 distinct ethnic identities in China and every one preserves it culture in its own way and all are alive and well if you care to look for them. 
The glittering high tec cityscapes are stunning and real and do in fact reflect Chinese culture in many subtle ways. But you have to have an open mind to see it. 

有趣的是，这种“文化”和中国及它的人民无关。
哪种中国文化？就是中国164个不同的民族，每一个都能用自己的方式保护各自的文化，各自都生存下来并且保存完好。
辉煌灿烂的高科技城市风光是真实存在并且令人称道的，它的确在很多方面上微妙地反映了中国文化。你需要用开放的眼光去看待它。

Its because China for all its shortcomings is still racing ahead in every aspect and at last the money is following gravity and flowing downward. The deprived areas of every province shrinking in spite of erratic planning. Tibet at peace with itself and China and prospering.
We've been hearing about the imminent collapse of its economy for decades the same fearmongering that drove the British EU referendum to leave the EU.
It never happened and never will.
All the punters who predicted disaster have gently silenced themselves and China coasts along to become the worlds largest economy in the next few decades.
And it still doesn't have a single military base outside its own territory and is at war with no one.
Truly exceptional by any metrics. 

这是因为中国针对他的短处，仍然在每个方向上向前奔跑，最终，钱会顺着引力向低处流。尽管规划不规范，但每个省的落后地区面积在不断缩小。西藏与中国保持和平，而且在变得越来越繁荣。
我们几十年来一直听到的是它的经济即将崩溃，同样的恐怖消息散播使英国公投离开了欧盟。
这从未发生，也永不会发生。
所有的预测灾难的赌徒们都悄悄息了声，中国继续前进，直到几十年后成为世界最大经济体。
它仍然在国土外没有一个军事基地，没有跟一个国家开战。
从任何意义上说都是非凡的。

They're not considered particularly large population centers in China. I live in a city that has the population of San Francisco and its regarded as a township. 

他们没有考虑过中国的特大人口中心，我住在一个和旧金山一样人口的地方，它被认为是一个镇。

The article doesn't call Tianjin small. In fact it refers to it as a "sprawling." 

这篇文章没说天津小，事实上，说它“无计划的蔓延”。

I like the funky architecture. However I'd rather visit a place known as the braised chicken capital of China than Solar Valley. 

我喜欢这时尚（译注：另一个意思是发臭的，这人喜欢用双重含义的词，很酸。）的建筑，无论如何，我宁愿参观一个被称为中国红烧鸡之都的地方而不是德州太阳谷。

That's just bollox. I've lived in China for 7 years 3 different cities & never met anyone who went to Chinese opera.... The Hobbit is right (never thought I'd write that in my life!) The orchestra and performers may be Chinese - but the works they're performing are usually/always Western....

一派胡言。我在中国住了7年3个城市，从未见过有人去中国的歌剧院...The Hobbit 说得对（我从没想过我会这么写）。管弦乐队和演员可能是中国人-但是演出作品通常总是西方的。

I am judging from my North American experience where the opera is attended primarily by music students and people wearing tuxedos or formal gowns. I once dated one of the former and when she invited me to an evening out I bought a second-hand swallowtail tux for the occasion. At Intermission everyone assumed I was with the orchestra - when asked I told them that since I was a flugelhorn player I wasn't needed for that night's performance. 

我在北美的经验表明，去剧院的一般都是音乐系学生，人们会穿燕尾服或者正式礼服出席。曾经和一个音乐系学生约会，她约我晚上出去看表演，于是我就买了一件二手的燕尾服出席。幕间休息时每个人都认为我是乐团成员——被问到我就告诉他们我是一位粗管短号手，当天晚上不需要表演。

NH是新罕布什尔州的缩写，离纽约大约200英里。我必须常规性去纽约，经过潮湿石头峡谷回响着出租车喇叭的噪音。出租车的空调带着令人失望的臭味。

Telecoms giant Huawei has courted lawsuits for copying from rivals in the past but its love of imitating clearly extends to architecture too. I fear that Mr Wainwright despite being an acknowledge expert in IT-related matters hasn't been keeping up with Huawei's development but on the other hand it is after all a Chinese firm and thus a snarky von oben attitude from a Guardian columnist is entirely justified and par for the course.... Henri 

虽然像华为这样的科技巨头在过去因抄袭专利被起诉，但是它对于山寨的爱也融入到它的建筑之中（哈哈）。恐怕温莱特先生作为IT领域的知识专家可能没有跟上华为的进展，但是毕竟这是一家中国公司，所以卫报专栏作家的这种俯视态度完全是恰当和适宜的。

Why the negative narrative? Those are interesting buildings and they could look really good with appropriate green landscaping. One can't reasonably expect appreciation of anything done in China - not even in the - ramAustralia ; this is after all the Guardian which has its own narrative. Myself I'm waiting for an with not quite so predictable but I fear I shall be forced to wait for quite some time.... 
Henri 

为什么用负面的评述？这些都是有趣的建筑，而且他们看起来真的很不错还有绿化景观。不能合理的指望他们会赞扬中国——甚至是澳大利亚——的任何成就；毕竟这是卫报报导的。我自己想等个没那么可预测的，但是恐怕我不得不等很久。
