第四辑

各位同学大家好，不知道大家在做作品集的过程中是否经常因为景观叙事的中英文翻译而烦恼呢？这个专题［跟ASLA学英语］就是希望能够帮助大家通过专业案例来学习比较地道的表达，学为致用。

今天带来的案例是 2018ASLA通用设计类荣誉奖的Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square，这是一个小型滨海停车场改造升级项目，涉及到的词汇短语为景观设计的基本名词和修饰词。点击查看［跟ASLA学景观英语］第一辑

Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square transformed a former parking lot into a lush landscape of rolling hills, meadows and gardens. The most dramatic aspect of the site transformation has been the restoration of its ecosystem.

Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square将以前的停车场改造为拥有起伏山丘，草地和花园的丰富景观。场地转型最引人注目的方面是其生态系统的恢复。01

parking lot 停车场（一般指公共场所户外的停车位）

parking 泛指停车位，可以是路边，也可以是地下。

a lush landscape 青葱茂密的景观

lush adj. 苍翠繁茂的，丰富的

eg. lush green meadows 青葱翠绿的草地

rolling hills 起伏绵延的山丘

rolling / waved / undulant adj. 波浪形的，起伏的

eg. rolling / waved / undulant / meadowland 起伏不平的草地

ecosystem 生态系统aquatic ecosystem 水生生态系统natural ecosystem 自然生态系统artificial ecosystem 人工生态系统agricultural ecosystem 农业生态系统

Situated on 7.4 acres between City Hall, the Interstate-10 freeway, and Santa Monica's iconic palm tree lined Ocean Avenue, Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square have transformed a derelict and flat parking lot into lush landscape of rolling hills, swales, Mediterranean meadow gardens, and active urban spaces.

Tongva Park + Ken Genser Square位于市政厅，10号州际高速公路和圣莫尼卡标志性的棕榈树海洋大道之间，占地7.4英亩。设计将废弃而单调的停车场变成了具有起伏山丘，沼泽地，地中海草花园和活跃的城市空间的繁茂景观。

iconic adj. 有标志性的iconic building 标志性建筑 landmark building 地标建筑06

derelict adj.荒废的（尤指土地或建筑物）& n. （因水位后退）逐渐变干的土地

derelict land / wasteland / abandoned land 荒地

swale 沼泽地

wetland / swampland / fenland 沼泽地

The design re-knits the city fabric through strong linkages to Downtown, the adjacent neighborhoods, the Santa Monica State Beach, Palisades Park, and the Main Street commercial area, and mitigates the barrier created by the Santa Monica Freeway. Observation Hill offers the best views of the ocean and neighboring vicinity culminating in two distinctive shell-like overlooks that frame iconic views and vistas of Santa Monica and the ocean. Ken Genser Square provides new space for civic gatherings and complements the City Hall landmark building with its symmetrical footprint, low pre-cast seat walls, and gently rolling grassy hills.

设计通过与市中心的紧密联系重新编织城市结构，邻近的社区，圣莫尼卡州立海滩，Palisades公园和主街商业区，减轻了圣莫尼卡高速公路所造成的障碍。Observation Hill享有大海和周边地区的最佳景致，最高点是两个独特的贝壳式俯瞰景观，构成了圣莫尼卡和海洋的标志性景观和眺望远景之地。Ken Genser Square为市民聚会提供了新的空间，并因其对称的布局，低预制的座位墙和轻柔的草坡，与市政厅标志性建筑相得益彰。

mitigate the barrier 减轻障碍break down the barrier 破除障碍09

overlook n. & v. 眺望，从高处看到的景色

vistas n. (尤指从高处看到的) 景色

symmetrical 对称的

axisymmetric 轴对称

centrosymmetric 中心对称

pre-cast 预制

precast concrete 预制混凝土

The project has been fundamentally modeled on healthy, native environments whose interconnected botanical, hydrologic, and topographic systems work to provide restored ecosystem services to the site.

Existing trees were preserved and form an important backbone for new plant material. "Morty," a large Moreton Bay Fig tree, was fondly named by Santa Monica residents and now hosts a picnic grove near its impressive canopy. "The Three Amigos," three mature Ficus trees, were successfully relocated close by to create a "Fig Grove" that dramatically buffers the freeway, while existing palms are clustered close to the park's main entry to provide vertical structure along the park's edge.

New trees are grouped into three forest types, which are modeled on native California Coastal Scrub, Chaparral, and Riparian plant communities. They are carefully positioned to take advantage of the site's numerous microclimates, provide the framework for the project's extensive plant palette, and contribute to the distinctiveness of spaces within the park.

该项目以健康的原生环境为基础，其互联的植物，水文和地形系统致力于为该场地提供恢复的生态系统服务。

现有的树木被保留，并且形成了新植物材料的重要支撑。 “Morty”是一棵大型摩顿湾无花果树，深受圣莫尼卡居民的喜爱，现在在其令人印象深刻的树冠附近有一个野餐小树林。三个成熟的榕树“ The Three Amigos ”成功地搬迁到附近，创建了一个“Fig Grove”，大大缓冲了高速公路，而现有的棕榈树聚集在公园的主要入口附近，沿公园的边缘提供垂直绿化。

新树分为三种类型，加利福尼亚州沿海灌木，常绿阔叶灌丛和河岸植物群落。它们被精心定位，充分利用该场地的众多小气候，构成场地不同绿色的框架，并有助于公园内空间独特性的形成。

eg. Urban renewal approaches are grouped into two types: replacement and update.

城市更新方法被分为两类：替换和升级。

The project offers a new model of sustainability for similarly scaled projects-- one that carefully balances environmental and cultural considerations. The radical restoration of ecosystem services to the site via amended soils and a dramatic biomass increase is complemented by an irrigation system that uses water from the nearby Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility. Irrigated water and stormwater are maintained on site through the natural movement of water into bioswales at the base of most hills in the park.

Areas of the project which are not planted contribute to the social sustainability of the project, which is uniquely high. Developed in close collaboration with the city and community, the park's range of social spaces include areas for quiet contemplation, a large community gathering space, and inclusive play area for all ages and abilities. The project specifically promotes human health through a series of walking trails and loops, and bike parking areas, which are promoted on the park's website.

该项目为类似尺度的项目提供了一种新的可持续性模式 - 平衡环境和文化考量。通过修复的土壤和显著的生物量增加对生态系统服务进行彻底恢复，并辅以使用附近圣莫尼卡城市径流回收设施的灌溉系统。在公园的大多数山丘底部，通过自然水体的运动将灌溉水和雨水维持在场地上。

未种植的项目区域有助于项目的社会可持续性，这是独一无二的。该公园与城市和社区密切合作，开发了一系列社交空间，包括安静的沉思区域，大型社区聚会空间以及适合所有年龄和能力的包容性游乐区。该项目通过一系列步行道和环路以及自行车停放区专门促进人类健康，这些区域在公园网站上进行宣传。
