世界上的20个禁地 小说他在地图末尾停了下来地图上清楚的写着三个字葬龙谷

20. Snake Island, Brazil 巴西蛇岛

Ilha da Queimada Grande (a.k.a Snake Island) is a tiny island off the coast of Brazil. Snake Island is home to the venomous golden lancehead snake (Bothrops insularis) which has an incredibly lethal venom known to cause more human mortalities than any other group of snakes in either North or South America. The golden lancehead snake is extremely dangerous and the venom contracted from its bite could kill a human within an hour.

大凯马达岛是巴西海岸外的一个小岛，又名蛇岛，这里生活着世界上最致命的蛇类—金矛头蝮蛇（矛头蝮）。金矛头蝮蛇凶狠毒辣，极其危险，比南、北美洲的任何蛇类都厉害，有相当高的致死率，倘若不幸被金矛头腹蛇咬中，短短1小时内便可魂归西去。

The golden lancehead snake has a population between 2,000 to 4,000 situated in the island’s rainforest, but there are many other varieties of snake on the island, with only a small amount of non-venomous snakes. There is estimated to now be between one and five snakes per square meter. For human protection and the welfare of the critically endangered golden lancehead snakes, Snake Island is completely off limits to the public.

该岛约有2000-4000条金矛头腹蛇，除此之外，还有其他种类的蛇群聚居在此，仅有微不足道的一小部分蛇是无毒的。据不完全统计，每平方米就有1-5条毒蛇。出于对人类的保护和杜绝金矛头腹蛇濒临灭绝的双重考虑，巴西政府明令禁止游客前往此岛。

19 – Lascaux Caves, France拉斯科岩洞，法国

Lascaux Caves in France is home to 600+ Paleolithic wall paintings which are predicted to be over 20,000 years old. The paintings which cover the walls and ceilings illustrate large animals (bulls, stags, cattle, bison and more), local fuana and abstract symbols. Anthropologists and art historians believe these paintings could depict successful past hunts or ritualistic trance visions.

拉斯科岩洞有6000多幅壁画，至今已有2万年历史了。这些带有大型动物形象的画作覆盖着洞顶和墙壁，有公牛、牡鹿、牛、野牛等等原始动物和抽象符号。人类学家和艺术史学家认为这些壁画成功地记录了过去的狩猎情景和原始迷幻景象。

The Lascaux caves which once received 1,200 visitors per day limited entrants in the late 1950’s due to lichens and crystals starting to appear on the walls. Sadly, the issues only worsened and there was a rapid growth of white mould across walls and ceilings as well as a fungal spread leaving black blemishes. In 1963 the caves were completely closed to the public and never reopened.

20世纪50年代，拉斯科岩洞曾经每天接待1200名游客，洞壁上逐渐出现了地衣和结晶，且呈日趋恶化的局势，洞顶和洞壁上长起了霉菌，真菌的不断蔓延在壁画上留下了黑色斑点。法国政府1963年关闭了洞穴，再未开放过。

18 – Area 51, United States51区，美国

Area 51 is a highly restricted remote military base in the Nevade Desert which is closely guarded from the public. Conspiracy theorists often claim the purpose of Area 51 is for the storage and examination of alien spacecraft, meetings with extra terrestrials and many other wild theories that often draw links with the Roswell event.

51区是美国政府最高机密军事基地，坐落于内华达州，对外界严防死守。长久以来，阴谋论者认为51区的目的是存放和检测卫星航天器，从而产生与罗斯威尔事件有关的卫星人传说和很多其他荒谬的理论。

The real reason Area 51 exists is still a mystery and remains highly classified. Trying to enter would be irresponsible though since it is surrounded by signs warning that security is authorized to use deadly force on people who insist on trespassing.

美国成立51区的真正目的仍然是个十分费猜的谜团，目前还是一如既往地高度机密，但凡有什么试图潜入的动机或行径，都是对自己生命不负责任的体现，即便51区周围竖有警告标志，这里的守卫对任何非法入侵者都可使用致命武器的许可。

17 – North Sentinel Island, India北森蒂纳尔岛，印度

North Sentinel Island is a tiny island, part of the Andaman chain, off the coast of Myanmar. Native to the island are the Sentinelese who have lived there for over 60,000 years and are extremely opposed to outside influences and remain entirely disconnected from the modern world. For this reason, very little is known about North Sentinel Island.

北森蒂纳尔岛是一个小岛，属安达曼群岛，位于缅甸海岸线附近。岛上生活着极为神秘的森蒂纳尔人，据估计，这个神秘的部落已在岛上生活了6万多年。他们拒绝与外界接触，过着与世隔绝的原始生活。正因为如此，很少有人了解北森蒂纳尔岛。

Indian Authorities respect their right to complete isolation and prohibits any visitors, even to the point where they are free from laws and can kill outsiders who trespass on their land. Reportedly, an Indian Coast Guard helicopter flying nearby on reconnaissance, was shot at with arrows by natives.

印度政府尊重他们与世隔绝的生活方式，禁止游客进入该岛，甚至指出，北森蒂纳尔人有杀死任何外来入侵者的自由权，据报道，他们曾对过往的侦察机射箭攻击。

16 – Ise Grand Shrine, Japan伊势神宫，日本

Japan is the homeland of shrines. With more than 80,000 national shrines you could say they are a very important part of Japanese culture. But one shrine tops them all; the Ise Grand Shrine, an ornate temple that is also the most expensive in Japan due to its intricate architecture.

伊势神宫位于日本，里面有8万多个神龛，你可以说这里体现了非常重要的日本文化。有一个神龛位于所有神龛的最高处，因其结构精巧复杂，这座富丽堂皇的神殿堪称日本最豪华的建筑。

And with that level of detail comes some pretty hefty maintenance too. Every 20 years the shrine is rebuilt at a cool million dollar price tag, in order to appease the Shinto tradition of death and renewal.

With all of this hard work you may fancy taking a look at this beautiful icon of Japanese culture yourself, but let us stop you there, unless of course you are a member of the Japanese imperial family. They are the only people on Earth who are granted that special permission.

伊势神宫的建筑结构细节完美，该神宫受到了日本政府的重点保护，为了抚慰凋亡和复新的神道传统，每隔20年就要重建一次，每次重建花销都要足足一百万美金。

既然日本政府如此重视伊势神宫，可能你想亲自一睹日本文化标志的真容，不过，还是趁早断了这个念头吧，除非你是日本皇族成员，否则休想踏入半步。在这个星球上，恐怕只有日本皇族成员才有进入神宫的特别许可权。

15 – Heard Island, Australia赫德岛，澳大利亚

This barren, volatile island somewhere between Madagascar and Antarctica technically belongs to Australia. Though we suspect most Australians would prefer to stay on their own golden beaches than attempt to visit this bleak and desolate rock in the middle of nowhere.

这座荒无人烟的岛位于马达加斯岛和南极洲之间，严格来说，属于澳大利亚。我们很怀疑大多数澳大利亚人更愿意呆在金色的沙滩上，而不造访这个寒冷荒凉的岩石地带的原因。

Considered one of the most remote places on earth, this 368-square-mile landmass is mountainous, has a staggering 41 glaciers and two volcanoes. Active ones at that; in the year 2000 a 2 kilometre long lava flow poured out from the southwest side of one of the volcanoes. If that wasn’t enough to deter you from trying to visit, the weather is also notoriously poor with high speed rough winds and heavy rainfall.

这座岛被称为世界上最偏辟的地方之一，这座368平方英里的大山有41个冰川和2座火山，而且是活火山，令人难以置信。2000年，西南边那座火山流出了2千米长的溶岩。倘若这些不足以阻止你前往的脚步，这里的天气也是特别恶劣，狂风骤雨大大方方说来就来。

If you are still keen to visit the islands, bear in mind its a minimum of a two-week sail to any other major land mass making it one of the most treacherous places to try and reach in the world. Only penguins, seals and marine birds are brave enough to call this place home.

倘若你还是难以抑制内心的渴望，记住：从这里航海到附近的任何一座主岛上都要花最低两周时间才能抵达，这就让它烙下了一个“好”名声——世界上最危险的地方，只有那些勇敢的企鹅、海豹和海鸟才将此地称为家园。

Even if you defeated the elements and made it to the shores of Heard Island you would be likely be breaking the law as humans are strictly prohibited from visiting unless you have “compelling scientific reasons.”

即使你以坚强不屈的精神战胜了以上所有恶劣因素登上赫德岛，那么你就非常荣幸地触犯了法律，未经许可任何人不得入岛，除非你有令人信服的理由，比如科学考察。

14 – Vatican Secret Archives, Vatican City梵蒂冈机密档案馆，梵蒂冈

The Vatican Secret Archives are officially said to contain historical artefacts dating back more than 12 centuries. The vast 53 mile archive houses an impressive collection of relics including letters penned by Michelangelo, and the pleas for help that Mary Queen of Scots sent to Pope Sixtus V before her execution. This could be the greatest collection of historical objects in the world, yet only a handful of people have ever been allowed inside.

官方宣称，梵蒂冈机密档案馆藏有12世纪时期的历史文物，这个53英里长的巨大档案室藏有极其珍贵的文物，包括米开朗基罗的亲笔信，还有帮助苏格兰玛丽女王的请愿书——在她被西斯都五世处决前。这可能是世界上最伟大的历史收藏了，只有极少数人才有亲临这里的殊荣。

As a result the Secret Archives are shrouded in mystery and subject to wild conspiracy theories. Speculation of what lies within these forbidden walls include evidence of magic, demons, extraterrestrials and details of the predicted apocalypse…or even the missing Chronovisor, a nifty device that allows its users to view past or future events and was purportedly built by an Italian priest and scientist, Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti, so he could witness Christ’s crucifixion first hand.

梵蒂冈机密档案馆被盖上了神秘的面纱，产生了某些荒谬的阴谋论，有人怀疑这个禁地里藏有关于邪祟，魔鬼，卫星人的考证和预言世界末日的详细资料……甚至有人怀疑藏有消失的时空观察机—-一个非常精美的机器，用它可以穿越时空，看到过去和未来发生的事情，据说，这个神秘物件由一名意大利人所造，此人就是大名鼎鼎的科学家Pellegrino Maria Ernetti神父，他是看到耶酥被钉在十字架上的第一人。

Fascinating indeed…yet unless you are an incredibly select scholar who is approved by the Vatican and you have specifically asked to view a particular relic then your chances of gaining access are next to none!

故事极其精彩……除非你是梵蒂冈认为的优秀学者，方可进入，倘若你特别要求看一眼特殊文物，那你以后进去的机会为零。

13 – Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China秦始皇墓，中国

You’ll no doubt be familiar with the iconic faces of the underground army of terracotta warriors at Xi’an; one of the most incredible archaeological discoveries of all time. Though this ancient site sees thousands of tourists descend in their droves, not many are aware that buried deep beneath them, lies an emperor in his mausoleum, surrounded by a river of poisonous mercury, who’s been undisturbed for more than 2000 years.

对于西安兵马俑的真容，你可能并不陌生，这是一项极其重要的考古发现。尽管有数千游客成批造访这个古代遗址，很少有人意识看这些深埋在地下的东西对他们的身体并不友好，陵墓里躺着一位皇帝，周围有大量的毒贡，把他完好的保存了2000多年。

The tomb holds the body and the secrets of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who died on Sept. 10, 210 B.C. No human being has ever stepped inside these sacred walls and it will likely stay that way for the foreseeable future. We can only ever imagine what treasures lie within…

这座古墓里放着中国第一位皇帝（秦始皇）的尸体和他的秘密，秦始皇殁于公园前210年9月10日，人类不曾步入过这座恐怖的古墓，它大概会在那里呆到永恒吧，我们只要想象一下那里的宝藏就好了……

12 – Surtsey Island, Iceland叙尔特塞岛，冰岛

Surtsey Island is a small volcanic island off the coast of Iceland, and a natural haven for various flora and fauna which makes it a destination favoured by scientists who gather information on plant and animal life.

叙尔特塞岛是冰岛海岸外的火山岛，是各种各样动植物的自然天堂，当然也就成了动植物学家采集动植物生命信息的好地方。

Pre 1960’s the rules about visiting the island of Surtsey were a little more lax than they are now. All of that changed because of a tomato. Yes, a tomato. One scientist who visited the island answered a call of nature upon a lava rock, weeks later a tomato plant began sprouting on that very spot leaving fellow scientists completely baffled. After much thought they finally realised what must have been the origin of the mysterious tomato plant and it was immediately destroyed as it would have disturbed their scientific research. We are pretty sure the scientist in question wasn’t allowed back either..

相对来说，20世纪60年代参观叙尔特塞岛的政策比现在宽松一些，导致政策改变的原因仅仅是一株西红柿，没错，是西红柿。一名造访该岛的科学家竟在一块溶岩上出大恭，数周之后，这个荒岛上竟长出一株西红柿，令科学界同仁大惑不解，他们脑尽脑汁终于得知西红柿苗的来源，并立即铲除了它，从此也断送了他们在岛上的科研之路，当然包括那名“干了好事”的当事人…

As a result visitors are now strictly limited in their numbers to avoid disrupting the eco-system of this natural laboratory. And those who do manage to make it onto the island are thoroughly searched for seeds before they step foot on land.

目前此岛严格限制游客数量，以免扰乱这个自然实验室的生态环境，而且想登陆叙尔特塞岛上的人在登岛前要受到仔细检查，看否携带任何种子。

11 – North Brother Island, United States北兄弟岛，美国

Less than a mile from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan lies a secret island that has been abandoned for almost 60 years. North Brother Island is home to the Riverside Hospital which has seen its fair share of death, decay and ruin over the years.

这个神秘的小岛距离熙熙攘攘的曼哈顿仅1公里，被弃将近60年。岛上曾设立过一所医院，名叫河畔医院，在岛上留下许多尸骨和建筑残骸。

Once used as a place to quarantine sufferers of tuberculosis, yellow fever and small pox in the 19th century; later it was used after World War II to house veterans, and then as a treatment centre for heroin addicts. Now sadly left to crumble, it lies in ruins covered by weeds and overgrown plants.

19世纪，患肺结核，黄热病，和天花等传染病的病人曾被送到岛上隔离，二战后，这里用来安置退伍老兵，后来河畔医院开始接收海洛因吸毒者，将他们送到岛上接受隔离的戒毒疗程。现在成为一座被遗弃的禁岛，破败不堪，野草和植物狂放地生长着。

Today it is a haven for birds and only with very strict written permission from the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation can you gain access to the island, otherwise it is strictly forbidden.

目前它已成为鸟类的天堂，不对公众开放，除非你获得纽约市公园和娱乐政府部门的文件许可，才能到岛上去。

10 – Mezhgorye, Russia梅日戈尔耶，俄罗斯

It transpires that Russia has its very own Area 51, only it’s a whole town. Mezhgorye is situated deep within the Ural Mountains and is said to be 400 square miles large but its still completely off the radar. The Kremlin claims it is merely a mining site but that doesn’t explain why its surrounded by two battalions of armed guards who will use lethal force to prevent anyone going anywhere within the vicinity.

据说，俄罗斯也有自己的51区——整个梅日戈尔耶镇。这个镇位于烏拉山脈深处，占地面积约400平方公里，但是雷达完全侦察不到。俄国政府声称梅日戈尔耶只不过是一处矿场而已，并没有解释为何周围有警卫把守，足有两个营，还配有致命武器，不许任何人靠近。

It is believed that Mezhgorye could be a nuclear missile site containing automatic missiles that can be activated remotely, complete with a large fully equipped emergency bunker to house Russia’s oligarchy if nuclear war became a reality.

有人认为此地可能是一个核导弹研发基地，其中包括远程发射的自动导弹，这里还有紧急避难地堡，一旦核战争暴发，这会成为寡头政治的执政集团的藏身处。

9 – The Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem圆顶清真寺，耶路撒冷

Both Jews and Muslims flock to Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which is considered to be one of the holiest sites in the world. This ornate temple dates back to the first century BC. Deep within the inner sanctum of the temple walls is an even more exclusive site which is off limits and fiercely forbidden to all but a very select group.

耶路撒冷的犹太教徒和伊斯兰教信徒都会聚到圆顶清真寺，认为那里是世界上最神圣的地方。这座金顶辉煌的神殿于公元前第一世纪建立，圣所内部的墙壁更加富丽堂皇，只有重量级人物才能入内。

Welcome to The Dome of The Rock; this ornately beautiful cobalt blue, gold topped iconic Islamic shrine is a truly sacred site. Only those who practice Islam are allowed beyond the holy walls. According to Islamic scripture this holy site contains the Foundation Stone and was where the prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel.

欢迎来到圆顶清真寺，这座耀眼、炫丽的建筑有伊斯兰教特有的标志，金色的穹顶，深蓝色的外墙，无愧于“真正的圣地”这个称号，伊斯兰经文记载，这个圣地有自己的基石，被穆斯林认为是先知默罕默德在天使加百列陪同下的升天之地。

8 – Niihau, United States尼豪岛，美国

We all like the thought of a truly exclusive getaway. Somewhere not everyone gets to visit with a hefty slice of privacy. Well one family get exactly that, whenever they fancy.

我们都想来一次真正的度假，去某个并非谁都能去的地方，拥有足够大的私人空间。无论何时，那儿只有他们自己一家就好。

Welcome to the mysterious island of Niihau in Hawaii, it’s earned the title of “The Forbidden Island,” as even its visibility remains elusive; the only way to catch sight of it is as the sun sets and its silhouette emerges. This secret island paradise has been owned by a single family for more than 150 years, and they are very careful to keep it far away from the gaze of the outside world. They are the only ones who enjoy access to the island and it has been passed down the family line after it was first purchased in the 1860’s.

欢迎来到神秘的夏威夷尼豪岛，这是一个禁岛，保持着原始的封闭隔离状态，唯一能看到尼豪岛风景的方式是在日落时看看它的轮廓。这座岛150年来只归一个家族所有，他们小心地保护着它，拒绝外界打扰。这个家族成员是唯一可以上岛的成员，自19世纪60年代以来，他们将岛一代代传承下来。

7 – The Queen’s Bedroom, U.K 女王的卧室，英国

Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s official London residence, and home of the British monarchy since 1837. It is of course one of the top attractions for anyone visiting London; often the state rooms and the gardens will be opened to the public and tours are conducted around the palace and grounds, but of course one room remains strictly off limits. It is of course the Queen’s Bedroom, unless of course you happen to be the Queen, or maybe her husband Phillip. Although we are sure even he has to ask Her Royal Highness nicely.

白金汉宫是女王在伦敦的官邸，自1837年起，这里就是英国郡主政体之所。当然，这也是人们来伦敦最想参观的地方。国事厅和花园将会对外开放，游客可参观宫殿周围和庭院，不过，有一个地方绝对是禁地，那就是女王的卧房，除非你碰巧当了女王，或者是她的丈夫菲利普亲王，非常肯定，他会称她为亲爱的女王殿下。

Or maybe your name is Michael Fagan, and then you would have committed one of the greatest feats of all time by scaling a 20ft wall and hoisting yourself up a drainpipe to stand proudly within the Queen’s bedroom. Just to win a bet with some friends; now that’s what we call drinking games gone a step too far. However, part of us is also intrigued to have a look ourselves!

或许你的名字叫做迈克尔·法根，爬上4米高的围墙，顺着拍水管爬进女王的卧室，骄傲地站在她的床前，这一切仅仅是为了赢得与朋友的一场赌注，现在我们称之为在酒精的作用下失去了健全的理性，不过，我们中也有人对女王的卧房充满好奇，想亲自一窥究竟。

6 – Coca-Cola Recipe Vault, United States可口可乐配方库，美国

Nothing beats an ice cold Coca-Cola on a hot day, and millions around the world agree. The recipe for our favourite fizzy drink is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the world. There are claims that only two people know it at any given time and they can never travel on the same plane in case it crashes.

在大热天，没有什么能比得过一瓶冰镇可口可乐了，在这一点上，世上起码有数百万人点头同意，这款我们最爱的泡沫饮料的配方恐怕是世界上守卫最森严的一个配方了。据说，任何时候都只有两个人知道配方的内容，而且这两个人不得同乘一架飞机，以防意外。

As a back up plan, just in case disaster did strike, the legendary mystery formula is secured in a vault in Atlanta. And you’d need more than a lock and key to get into it. The protected secret recipe is kept in a solid metal box inside a metal vault which is in a room protected by a security barrier. The area has high tech surveillance cameras throughout with 24 hour armed guards, and the door can only be opened via a hand scanner and secret code.

这一神秘配方被储存在亚特兰大的一个地下室里，作为万一灾难发生的一个后备计划。这里不只上了一把锁，秘密配方就放在这个金属地库里的一个硬质金属盒里，由安全屏障对其进行保护，里面有24小时高科技监控录像，由武警看守，地库门只能用一只手结合密码打开。

Whilst we may all love to know what makes Coca Cola taste so darn good we can be pretty certain it no longer contains the ingredient that everyone couldn’t get enough of pre 1903. Yes that’s right, before then each bottle of Coca-Cola would contain a hefty dose of cocaine! No wonder it perked you up.

我们都要知道为何可口可乐的味道如此妙不可言，我们很肯定它里面的可卡因成分不再像1903年那么多，是的，没错，以前每瓶可口可含有大量的可卡因，难怪会让人精神振奋！

5 – U.N. Buffer Zone, Cyprus联合国缓冲区，塞浦路斯

Behind barbed wire fences a watchtower looks down over an eerie scene; an airport stands, thick with dust, old aircraft decaying on the landing strips, nearby abandoned homes, businesses, cars and buildings lay idle as they have done for decades. This is the UN Buffer Zone which cuts through Cyprus, dividing the independent Republic of Cyprus from the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island.

锋利的铁栅栏后面是一个岗楼，看守着这个怪诞之地—-飞机场，上面覆盖了厚厚的尘土，破败不堪的飞机久久伫立在起落跑道上，附近被遗弃的房子，商铺，汽车，建筑物一副无所事事的样子，数十年来，它们就是这个老样子。这就是位于塞浦路斯的联合国缓冲区。塞浦路斯是从土耳其分出来的独立共和国。

In 1974, Turkish troops invaded Cyprus, escalating the civil war between the Greeks and the Turks. The U.N. then took control of this ‘buffer zone’ in the capital Nicosia after the ceasefire was declared. In an attempt to prevent future clashes between the populations of the two halves of the island, peacekeepers from the United Nations have patrolled the buffer zone for years. As a result this area has remained frozen in time, and no one is allowed into this zone and if you even tried you probably wouldn’t make it out alive.

1974年，土耳其部落对塞浦路斯的侵略升级为希腊和土耳其的内战。宣布停战后，联合国在尼科西亚出面控制局势，联合国和维合士兵驻守在这里许多年了。目前这个地方仍是禁区，不允许任何人进入，如果你想进入，那就不保证能活着出来了。

4 – Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, Ethiopia锡安山圣玛丽亚教堂，埃塞俄比亚

Dating back to the 4th Century AD, the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion claims to contain the Ark of the Covenant, the ornate gold chest that houses the Ten Commandments. Though some doubt the authenticity of these claims, there are many more who believe it to be true.

锡安山圣玛丽亚教堂可追溯到公元4世纪，里面有个约柜，耀眼的金色箱子里放着10个戒条，尽管有人怀疑其真实性，但很多人信以为真。

Kept tightly under wraps, there is only one person allowed to view the Ark; a special guardian monk appointed by a predecessor. No one else in the world is allowed access to this most holy of relics, though many have tried to bribe the guardian monk to no avail…

这个箱子被紧紧地包裹着，只有一个人能看—-先祖指定的特别守护僧。世界上没有一个人可以进入这个最神圣的圣地，尽管有人为了能进去而贿赂守护僧，那也是海底捞月---白费劲...

3 – Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Norway斯瓦尔巴全球种子库，挪威

So imagine the scene, post nuclear fallout as the survivors attempt to rebuild and sustain human life upon planet Earth. The powers that be have got you covered. At least in terms of seedlings; 400 feet into a mountainside on the remote island of Spitsbergen, halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, lies a subterranean seed storage facility.

想象一下这一场景：核辐射后，幸存者想重建家园，在地球上继续延续人类的生命。参与建立种子库的国家来自世界各地，包括你的国家，至少在苗木方面肯定会，在挪威的主岛和北极之间的斯瓦巴和扬马延山坡上建造了全球地下种子库。

The Global Seed Vault as its known, houses approximately 890,000 samples of 4,000 different species of seeds from all over the world. The vault is designed as an insurance policy in the event of a global disaster that could wipe out certain species of plants, and more importantly major food supplies.

The Doomsday Vault is ominously described as ‘the final back up’ and has recently had its first withdrawal to retrieve vital seeds for Syria in the wake of the ongoing bloody conflict.

众所周知，全球种子库储藏了来自世界各地的89万种子取样和4000个不同的种子类型，种子库为防止摧毁植物的全球灾难而建，最重要的一点是它会提供食物。末日穹顶种子库不祥地预示着“最后的备份”，随着无休止的血腥冲突暴发，种子库第一次取出种子是帮助阿拉伯叙利亚共和国恢复种苗。

2 – Moscow Metro, Russia莫斯科地铁，俄罗斯

If nuclear catastrophe or epic natural disaster strikes Russia, they’ve got it covered. Welcome to the city beneath a city, Moscow’s purported secret underground system, a series of metro lines linking the Kremlin, the Federal Security Office HQ, the government airport and several other important locations.

一旦俄罗斯爆发核灾难或大型自然灾害，他们一定有藏身之处，欢迎来到城下城---莫斯科地下系统，一系列地铁线都通往克里姆林宫联邦安全办公室总部、政府机场和数个其他重要地方。

Reportedly built by the KGB, the existence of this complex labyrinth hasn’t been formally admitted to by Russia but its rumoured that Stalin’s extreme paranoia was the catalyst for its construction.

据报道，莫斯科地下系统由苏联国家安全委员会所建立，这个错综复杂的迷宫并没有得到俄罗斯方面的承认，不过，据传，斯大林的极端偏执是建造地下系统的催化剂。

1 – Fort Knox, United States诺克斯堡，美国

If you fancy getting your hands on America’s hoards of gold then you will have your work cut out. This Kentucky military base has been used for many purposes over the years but is currently used to house the US’s gold. As you can imagine security here is pretty tight. You know the saying ‘harder to get into than Fort Knox’? Well it’s true.

倘若你想把美国的储藏黄金揣到自己兜里，那就准备跟手分家吧，诺克斯堡因诸多原因成为肯塔基州的美国军事基地，不过，目前用来储存黄金。你能想到这里的安保程度，你也许会说“进入诺克斯堡难于上青天”，此话有理。

Hurdles you’d have to overcome to get your hands on piles of the shiny stuff include barbed wire, minefields, electric fences, armed guards and security cameras. If you manage to get that far bear in mind there are Apache helicopters poised and waiting for the signal to fire. Good luck!

想让自己的双手触碰到那一堆堆金光灿烂的东西，你要克服重重障碍，包括带刺钢丝网，雷区，电网，武警和安全摄像头等。倘若你最终还是与黄金有缘相会了，不知枪林弹雨的景象能不能使你惊，会不会使你惧，记住，还有等待开火信号的阿帕奇武装直升机在伺机而动，祝你好运！
