　　错误主要原因：熟悉确不会拼写的单词：extraordinary ,vehicle,physcially

　　认识但是没听出来：critic

　　生词：prolific, unbridled

　　连读，弱化

　　Architecture critic Jonathan Glancey turns his attention to the buildings of the Middle East, in particular the Gulf. Construction projects in the city of Dubai may have been hit by the global recession, but it's only slowed down the extraordinary piece of change as Jonathan discovers in building on sand.

　　建筑评论家Jonathan Glancey把注意力转移到了中东特别是海湾地区的建筑上。迪拜的建造项目或许会因为全球金融危机遭受打击，不过在沙漠建筑方面，这种变化的速度反而变慢了。

　　"Dubai is built on unbridled capitalism." "I don't think there's been any similar example in modern times where an entire city to the scale of Dubai that was built in, say, five to ten years." "What's happened physically to their cities has been happening inside their homes and hearts and minds.""迪拜是建立在不受束缚的资本主义之上的。""我认为没有哪个现代城市可以和迪拜这样的城市规模相比，它在短短五到十年间就发展到如此规模。”“他们所生活的城市间发生的形形色色的变化也潜移默化地影响着他们的家庭、思想和心灵。” "Think Dubai and there's a tendency to imagine giant skyscrapers, clusters of them-some of them, if not one of them, half a mile high. Traffic-huge four by four vehicles, a prolific good use of energy, gas, oil, electricity. I'm looking out across the river here, for the market behind me, the boats in front of me. Here's little water buses running up and down. It really is like a bit of old city. It reminds me perhaps little bit of Cairo, the old part of Cairo, yet it is in ultra-modern Dubai. "“一想到迪拜，我们就很容易联想到成群的高大摩天大厦-它们中有很多都有半英里高。交通工具都是大型的四驱车，很多都是汽油、石油、电力驱动。我站在河的这边，后面是集市，前面是游船。这场景让我想到了有点开罗的感觉，开罗老城的影子，但这儿是超现代的迪拜。”
