but I'm in constant awe of the masterpieces created by my fellow designers.

但我一直以來更讚嘆設計師的絕妙作品

This pool you're about to see was built for a home owner

即將看到這座泳池是為一位屋主打造的

who not only loves the mountains but is also a keen scuba diver.

他不只愛山林，也熱衷於潛水

This 2-million-dollar pool

這座價值兩百萬的泳池

is simply called "The Mountain".

就叫做「山」

And the name couldn't be more appropriate.

而它的確非常實至名歸

The center piece of this pool is a colossal 90 foot manmade mountain

泳池重點是一座 90 英呎高的巨大人造山

that emulates the natural surroundings perfectly.

完美仿效自然環境

Constructed with reed bark, metal beams and 360 yards of concrete.

由蘆葦皮、鋼架和 360 碼的水泥打造而成

All perfectly stained to make this jaw dropping natural looking creation.

全都精美上色，造就讓人目瞪口呆的自然美景

There's more than one way to scale this peak.

有不只一種方式可以爬到頂端

There are two bridges and pathways winding to the top,

有兩座橋和通道蜿蜒到山頂，

as well as a hidden waterslide that tunnels 60 feet through the mountain

山裡還有一條 60 英呎長的隱藏滑水道

to the pool below.

一路通到水池

There are five waterfalls.

總共有五座瀑布

the tallest, towering at over 20 feet

最高的高達 20 多英呎

and ushering over 3000 gallons of water per minute over its edges.

每分鐘注入水量高達 3000 加崙

It's the ultimate diving rock!

這是終極跳水石！

The interior is honeycombed with caves and tunnels

山裡頭充滿洞窟和隧道

which are carved and stained to look like natural rock.

經雕琢、上色，就像是天然岩石一般

There are all sorts of secret nooks and crannies, even a hidden grotto that you can gaze out from behind the falls.

充滿秘密角落和縫隙，瀑布後面還有秘密岩穴，讓你可以從瀑布看出去外面

There's a full kitchen, completed with granite counter tops,

還有完整廚房和花崗石流理台、

stainless steel cabinets, a massive 8 burner grill, and a mini refrigerator nestled into the rocky wall.

不鏽鋼櫥櫃、超大烤肉架，還有嵌在岩壁裡的冰箱

There's also a changing room, complete with a shower, full size lockers and a loo.

還有更衣室、淋浴間、超大置物櫃和廁所

That's a toilet for you yanks.

就是老美講的馬桶啦

The pool is truly massive!

真的是鬼斧神工！

It's 140 feet long. That's about as long as 4 school buses end to end,

全長 140 英呎，大概是四輛校車加起來的長度，

and 60 feet wide, holding a staggering 360,000 gallons of chlorinated water.

寬 60 英呎，容納高達 36 萬加侖加氯消毒過的水

There's also a 300-foot lazy river

還有300英呎長的飄飄河道，

propelled by jets pushing over 600 gallons of water per minute around the perimeter.

由每分鐘 600 加崙的水流推動沿圓周推動

But to really plummet steps, you have to suit up.

但若真要潛下去，就得穿好配備

One of the reasons this pool was built was to allow the earnest to practice their scuba diving almost 1000 miles from the ocean.

蓋泳池的其中一個目的就是讓潛水愛好者練習，即使是在離海 1 千哩遠的地方也可以

But it's not all fun and games.

這可不只是玩玩而已

You need to be scuba certified to explore the bottom of this pool

你需要領有潛水執照才能潛入池底

from a secluded entry point inside the mountain,

從山裡的神祕入口 ─

a 54-foot long and 5 feet wide under water tunnel leads into the pool,

一座 54 英呎長，5 英呎寬的水底隧道，直通水池，

allowing you to plunge to a depth of 26 feet

深度達 26 英呎

Now I certainly don't know if many private pool is deep enough to scuba dive. Pretty impressive!

我實在不知道有多少私人泳池深到可以潛水，這實在很驚人！

A computer hidden behind a full rock wall

岩壁後面藏著的電腦

controls the labyrinth pumps and filters that keep everything flowing.

控制著迷宮般的幫浦和過濾器並推動著一切

With 360,000 gallons to circulate,

36 萬加侖的水循環，

it requires eight 3-horse power pumps, two 5-horse power pumps and three 7-horse power pumps to get the job done.

需要 8 台 3 馬力的幫浦、2 台 5 馬力的幫浦和 3 台 7 馬力的幫浦

After a long day of play, you can turn on the lights, relax and enjoy the view from the cabana.

玩了一整天，可以在涼亭開燈、放鬆，享受美景

This really is the ultimate backyard escape!

這真是極致的後院人間仙境！
