A real-life Noah’s Ark
یک مهندی هلندی حذوذ سه سال پیش کار شبیه سازی کشتی حضرت نوح را انجام داد و در حال حاضر مراحل نهایی آن را انجام می دهد. جان هوبرت مهندس اهل آمستردام ساخت این کشتی را به صورت full scale یعنی با مقیاس صد در صد انجام داد. البته جان که یک کارشناس سازنده است در طراحی جزییات آن همه چیز را در نظر گرفته است. زبان آموزان عزیز متن زیر را به طور کامل و چندین مرتبه با دقت بخوانید و کلمات کلیدی و جدید را برای خود یادداشت کنید امیدوارم مورد توجه شما قرار گیرد.
An hour outside(بیرون) of Amsterdam in Dordrecht, Netherlands(هلند), a ship is under
construction(ساخت). But this ain't your typical sailboat, bub. Johan Huibers is building a full-
scale replica of Noah's ark.
Yes, that Noah's ark. And Johan, an expert builder, isn't skimping(خسیسانه ) on the details.
The ship, which he's been constructing for the past three years, is built to biblical(مربوط به
انجیل) specs. Johan culled information(اطلاعات) on the ark's size and shape directly from the
good book. In the end, the ship is four stories high and the length of a football field. And yes, it's
seaworthy.
The result(نتیجه) is an incredibly(باور نکردنی) impressive ship, especially considering it was
realized simply by a man with a dream--or, perhaps, a nightmare(کابوس). Johan dreamt that
Holland suffered(رنج بردن) a great flood. The next morning, he woke up determined to start
preparing for that worst-case scenario.
The ship, which is not to be confused(گیج شدن) with the theme park in Kentucky that also
honors Noah's ark, is generating(ایجاد کردن) a lot of interest in the search box. Over the past
24 hours, online lookups for "noah's ark photos" and "Noah's ark real ship" have surged. As for
the craft proper, it's not complete yet, but it's getting close. The master plan is to sail the ship
up the Thames in time for the London Olympics next year. Expect(انتظار داشتن) to see plenty
of life-size plastic animals aboard (two of each type, of course).
