Christmas came in extravagant fashion to the Muslim desert emirate of Abu Dhabi as a glitzy hotel unveiled a bejewelled Christmas tree valued at more than 11 million dollars on Wednesday.
本周三,阿布達(dá)比酋長國(阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長國之一)的一家奢華酒店將一棵掛滿珠寶、價(jià)值1100萬美元的圣誕樹布置于酒店大堂內(nèi),本年度的圣誕節(jié)開始在這片土地上刮起了奢華風(fēng)。
It is the "most expensive Christmas tree ever," with a "value of over 11 million dollars." The 13-metre (40-foot) faux evergreen is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights.
這棵價(jià)值價(jià)值1100萬美元的圣誕樹是“有史以來最貴的圣誕樹”,上面用金、銀弓,球形裝飾等點(diǎn)綴著。
But the necklaces, earrings and other jewellery draped around the tree's branches are what give it a record value. It holds a total of 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones. The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars. The jewellery has a value of over 11 million dollars. Probably, this will be another Dubai entry into the Guinness book of world records.
但這棵圣誕樹的真正價(jià)值在于掛在樹枝上的各式項(xiàng)鏈、耳環(huán)和珠寶。它承載了181顆鉆石、珍珠、翡翠和寶石等。這棵樹本身價(jià)值約1萬美元,而這些珠寶的價(jià)值要超過1100萬美元。也許它將成為繼迪拜酒店后另一項(xiàng)進(jìn)入吉尼斯紀(jì)錄的杰作。
