　　世界上最大的游轮比4个足球场还要长，最多可搭载6780名乘客，首航之前停泊在南安普敦做最后的准备。

　　It will make its maiden voyage on Sunday – a four-day taster cruise to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands – and later this month will relocate to its summer base in Barcelona for tours of the western Mediterranean.

　　这艘游轮周日将进行首航——一次为期4天前往荷兰鹿特丹的试航。为了巡游西地中海，这个月底它将迁移到巴塞罗纳的夏季基地。

　　Royal Caribbean International’s ship has set new records for length (1,1188ft), gross tonnage (227,000), width (215.5ft).

　　皇家加勒比国际游轮的这艘船在长度（1万1188英尺）、总吨位（22万7000）和宽度（215.5英尺）方面创造了新记录。

　　With a crew of 2,100 from 77 countries, the floating city boasts seven 'neighbourhoods', a 10-storey slide that is the tallest at sea, 23 swimming pools, 20 dining venues, 52 trees, surf simulators, robot bartenders, a casino and climbing walls.

　　这座浮动的城市有来自77个国家的2100名船员。游轮以拥有7个“邻域”而自豪，分别是10层楼高的海上最高滑梯、23个游泳池、20个用餐场所、52棵树、冲浪模拟器、机器人酒保、一间赌场以及攀岩墙。


　　The 227,000-ton sea monster: The ￡800million cruise ship as it set sail from the Saint-Nazaire shipyard in France on Sunday.

　　The auditorium: In the 1,300-seater main theatre, and the indoor ice rink should be a good place to cool off.

　　会堂：大剧院有1300个席位，如果想凉快点，那么室内溜冰场会是个好地方。


　　The ship also has 16 restaurants, including Jamie’s Italian and swimming pools in all shapes and sizes.
