全球最大的海上钻井平台“蓝鲸2号”即将首航！外国网友怎么评

Beijing has finished building the world's largest oil platform in order to tap the 'energy of the future'.

北京已经建成了世界最大的钻井平台，可用来开采“未来的能源”

The self-propelled drilling rig, called 'Blue Whale II', can reach a staggering 15,240 metres (50,000 feet) under the water, which equals to the height of 50 Shards or nearly two Mount Everests, according to Chinese state media.

这个海上钻井平台被称为“蓝鲸2号”，最大钻井深度15240米，相当于两个珠峰的高度。

The enormous semi-submersible structure is expected to help China mine flammable ice, a kind of natural gas hydrate which has been discovered deep under the South China Sea.

这个巨无霸有助中国开采可燃冰，一种在南海发现的 天然气水合物 

'Blue Whale II' is the sister vessel of 'Blue Whale I', which has been stationed on the South China Sea to mine flammable ice since March.

“蓝鲸2号”是“蓝鲸1号”的姊妹平台，后者自从3月以来一直在南海开采可燃冰

Billed as a 'moving island made of iron' by Chinese media, 'Blue Whale II' measures 118 metres (387 feet) in height and nearly 44,000 tonnes in weight. It's as tall as a 37-storey building and as heavy as 195 Statues of Liberty.

作为一个““流动的国土”，“蓝鲸2号”高118米，重44000吨，有37层楼高，重量相当于195个自由女神像。

Its platform is roughly the size of a football field.

甲板有一个标准足球场大

===============================

“蓝鲸二号”要完成18天的远航，至少需要20桶重达4吨的机油，4500桶重达765吨的柴油，这样的装载能力，让“蓝鲸2号”能够承担各种复杂作业，它装载的设备有27000多台，比普通钻井平台多出一倍。

And when they park it in Philippine waters in the So China Sea, it won't cause any problems.

Look at the land difference in comparison. This HS2 rubbish the government is going to build is over budget, will be useless when it is finished and is going to cut straight through people's estates, land, and farms!

英国正在建造的HS2高铁超过了预算，建完了也一无是处。高铁穿过农田、农场

An independent Scotland could build a bigger one no doubt, if you listen to that poisoned wee dwarf Jimmy Krankie

毫无疑问，独立的苏格兰能建造更大的钻井平台。
