The world's largest underwater hotel is being planned for Dubai, with rooms both on the seabed and on stilts above the surface . 世界上最大的水下酒店计划正于迪拜开展，它在海床、海上均设置房间。
The Water Discus hotel has been designed by Polish company Deep Ocean Technology (DOT), whose other ventures include designing underwater vehicles and equipment for seabed exploration. “水铁饼”酒店由波兰的深海技术公司（DOT）负责设计，公司其它项目包括为海底勘探设计的水下交通工具和设备。
The hotel will be made up of two main discs, one above the water and one below the surface, connected by five columns and a vertical shaft for the stairs and lift. Smaller circular volumes above the surface will contain additional facilities, with a helicopter landing pad mounted on one. 酒店将由两个主要的“铁饼”构成，一个位于水上，另一个沉于水底，两者经内含楼梯和电梯的五根立柱及一个垂直轴连接。水面上其余更小的圆盘体将包含额外设施，其中一个顶部设有直升机停机坪。
The lower disc will comprise 21 hotel rooms with underwater views, an underwater diving centre and a bar. Each of the surrounding discs will be able to detach from the main upper disc to be used as a buoyant life raft in case of emergency or flooding. 下方的圆盘将由21个海底景观客房、一个水下潜泳中心和一个酒吧组成。围绕水上“铁饼”的小圆盘可与主体分离用作紧急情况或洪水来袭时的救生筏。
The diving centre will be accessed through an underwater airlock, leading divers straight into the ocean. There'll also be a decompression chamber for training purposes, DOT explains, while guests will also be able to take a course in piloting an underwater vehicle. 潜泳中心将通过水下气闸进入，引导潜水者直接进入海洋。那儿还将有一个用于训练的减压室，DOT解释说，客人可于此接受驾驶水下交通工具方面的课程。
The modular construction of the hotel will enable it to be expanded or even moved to a new location, according to DOT. 按照DOT的说法，模数化的酒店建造方式使之能够扩建，甚至可以移至新的地点。
The Water Discus won't be the world's first underwater hotel – there is already one in the Maldives and another in Florida. However, it will be the world's largest and the first to be built in Dubai. “水铁饼”酒店不是世界上第一座水下酒店——马尔代夫和佛罗里达已经各有一座了，但它将成为世界上最大的水下酒店且将是在迪拜建造的第一个水下酒店。
