4. Zizkov Television Tower, Prague, Czech Republic 捷克奇奇科夫电视塔

捷克奇奇科夫电视塔

　　The trouble with 216-meter towers is that they tend to be noticed. You would be forgiven then for wondering why the architect tasked with designing a giant transmitter tower in one of Europe’s most picturesque cities didn’t come up with something better than this replica of a space-shuttle launch。

　　这个216米高的电视塔的问题在于它还没有得到广泛的注意。你会好奇为什么设计师肩负着在这座欧洲风景最独特的城市里设计这样一座巨型发射塔的任务，却只造出了这样一个类似于航天飞机发射塔的建筑。

　　5. Experience Music Project, Seattle, United States 美国西雅图体验音乐博物馆

美国西雅图体验音乐博物馆

　　The architect supposedly channeled the anarchy of "smashed-up Fender Stratocaster guitars" into his design. The fact his astronomical fee resulted in something more akin to Technicolor open heart surgery can’t have been music to the ears of project founder Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen。

　　建筑师恐怕是将混乱状态中“破碎的芬达吉他”这种无序理念融入到了设计中。设计师花费巨额经费，设计出了这栋结构类似于彩拍开心脏手术的建筑。在该建筑项目的发起人，微软公司亿万富翁保罗•艾伦听起来这可并不像音乐般悦耳。

　　Fact: Jimi Hendrix, a prominent Seattleite, inspired the museum’s name and design. A voracious consumer of LSD, the guitarist might have appreciated Gehry’s design more than its modern audience。

　　实情：吉米•亨德里克斯，一位杰出的西雅图人，为这座博物馆的命名和设计带来了灵感。吉米•亨德里克斯大量使用摇头丸，这位吉他手可能比现代听众更喜欢盖里的建筑设计。

　　6. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hanoi, Vietnam 越南胡志明陵寝

越南胡志明陵寝

　　The structure itself is apparently meant to evoke Vietnamese traditions including a communal house and a lotus flower (how the two can be combined in one building is unclear)。

　　建筑本身显然是想唤起越南的传统，建筑包括公舍和莲花(这两样东西是怎样在一幢建筑中结合在一起的尚不清楚)。
