A tower of books is encased inside a glass pyramid at this public library that Dutch firm MVRDV have completed in Spijkenisse, the Netherlands.
这个由荷兰事务所MVRDV设计完成的公共图书馆位于荷兰的斯派克尼瑟，馆内的一个书塔被包在一个玻璃金字塔里面。
Named Book Mountain, the building contains a spiralling trail of staircases, pathways and terraces that create a 480 metre-long route through five floors of bookshelves towards a cafe beneath the pyramid’s apex.
这个建筑被命名为“书山”，包含一条由楼梯、小径和平台组成的螺旋形上升的路线。这路线长达480米，沿着此路线通过5层高的书架，可到达金字塔顶端下的咖啡馆。
The library’s glass form sits on top of a rectilinear brick base to give it a similar overall shape to the archetypal Dutch farmhouse, with low-rising walls, a large sloping roof and even a brick chimney.
图书馆的玻璃体在一个方形的砖砌基座上。这给图书馆一个跟荷兰农房相似的整体形象，有矮墙、大坡屋顶，乃至砖砌烟囱。
Visitors enter the library on the first floor and arrive in front of the bookshelf tower, which also integrates a reception counter.
访客进入图书馆的第一层，便来到了书架塔的面前，这里也整合了一个服务台。
Unwanted flowerpots were recycled to provide the material for the shelves, which the architects describes as being both ”fireproof and economic”.
废弃的花盆被回收利用，提供书架的原材料，这被建筑师描述为“既防火又经济”。
The architects also acknowledge the hazard to books caused from direct sunlight through the glass roof, and claim that “damage to the books by sunlight is offset by their normal four year lifespan due to wear and tear from borrowing.”
建筑师也承认了透过玻璃顶的直射阳光对图书的伤害，同时声称“阳光对图书的伤害被它们正常的四年寿命（由借阅所引起的磨损）所抵消”。（译者注：建筑师意思应为“阳光对图书的伤害是有，但长久才能显现出来，而图书被人借阅，更容易磨损，使用期限预计就四年而已，所以阳光对图书的伤害就算抵消了，可以忽略不计了”。读者可对此处翻译存疑。）
As well as library facilities, the building also contains an auditorium, an education centre, meeting rooms, offices, shops and a chess club.
除了图书馆设施，这个建筑也包含了一个礼堂、一个教育中心、会议室、办公室，以及一个象棋俱乐部。
