There's a whole AirBnB category  just for shipping containers.

有一個完整的AirBnB類別，專門用於運輸貨櫃。

There's this fantasy that you buy  a shipping container for $4,000

有這樣一種幻想：你用4000美元買一個海運貨櫃

bring it to a mountain, and you're happy.

And the other is that if  you want affordable housing

而另一個是，如果你想獲得可負擔得起的住房

containers homes are the answer according  to this, and this, and this, and this...

根據這個，這個，還有這個，還有這個，貨櫃住宅是答案。

About a week ago I drove through a  ton of fog Warrenton, North Carolina

大約一週前，我開車穿過一噸的大霧，北卡羅來納州的沃倫頓。

I brought some food props to make some elaborate shipping container models out of graham crackers

我帶了一些食物道具，用格雷厄姆餅乾做了一些精心製作的海運貨櫃模型

which my editor was skeptical that I could pull off

我的編輯對我是否能完成這一任務持懷疑態度

but I told her that I used to  have a graham cracker addiction.

但我告訴她，我以前有格雷厄姆餅乾的癮。

After I bonded with other  guests, owner Michael pulled up

在我與其他客人打成一片後，老闆邁克爾拉起了我。

who built this development with a tiny house, another shipping container, and my house.

他用一個小房子、另一個海運貨櫃和我的房子建造了這個開發項目。

Were you nervous cutting such a big hole?

切割這麼大的一個洞，你緊張嗎？

I really believe in my team, you know, and they  will tell me if they believe they can't do it.

我真的相信我的團隊，你知道，如果他們認為自己做不到，他們會告訴我。

To really re-emphasize, this  is considered a real house.

要真正再次強調的是，這被認為是一個真正的房子。

Later on, propped up agains the house, I found  the cut out pieces of my actual container.

後來，我在屋子裡找到了我真正的容器的切割件。

You can actually see some of  the printing of the container.

實際上，你可以看到容器的一些印刷。

That creativity is the promise  of shipping containers,

這種創造力是航運貨櫃的承諾。

which I was gonna demo with my graham  crackers, and it started out great...

我打算用我的格雷厄姆餅乾來演示，開始時很好......。

Here are the supposed pros behind  the shipping container home.

以下是海運貨櫃房屋背後的所謂優點。

They can be modified with a  simple cut through the steel.

它們可以通過簡單的切割來修改鋼。

而且你可以把它們吊起來......放在任何地方。

They're also super strong because  these things are made to carry stuff

它們也超級堅固，因為這些東西是用來搬運東西的。

And best of all, you can get them super  cheap because containers are everywhere.

最重要的是，你可以得到它們的超級便宜，因為容器無處不在。

It's still raining a bit and I'm  totally hopped up on sugar now.

現在還在下著小雨，我現在完全被糖分迷住了。

So I thought I'd give you some reflections  on my first night in the shipping container.

所以我想我應該給你一些關於我在海運貨櫃裡的第一個晚上的反思。

I definitely don't notice the size element.

And the way that Michael made the bathroom  large makes it pretty easy to get comfortable.

而邁克爾把浴室做得很大的方式，讓人很容易就能適應。

There's this lock on the garage door  that you kind of... click shut.

車庫門上有一個鎖，你可以......點擊關閉。

讓人感覺像是一個恐慌的房間。

Because it makes me feel like I'm important.

It's like a good hotel room with  a real creative touch to it.

這就像一個好的酒店房間，有真正的創意。

But something cool isn't necessarily practical.

Before I partied all night long  in Warrenton, North Carolina.

在我在北卡羅來納州的沃倫頓徹夜狂歡之前。

I talked to two people about  whether shipping containers 

我和兩個人討論了海運貨櫃是否

或者說，如果他們有點被高估了。

One is Belinda Carr, an architect  who has a Youtube channel

一個是Belinda Carr，一個建築師，他有一個Youtube頻道

that racks up huge views for videos   about stuff like insulation

積累了大量關於絕緣材料等視頻的瀏覽量。

and actually went viral with a video that wasn't super positive about shipping containers.

並實際上以一段對海運貨櫃不是超級正面的視頻而走紅。

And I talked to Mark Hogan, an  architect who wrote an article  

我和馬克-霍根談過，他是一個建築師，寫了一篇文章

7 years ago about shipping containers  and is still part of the big debate.

7年前，關於航運貨櫃的問題，仍然是大辯論的一部分。

There's no debate. I mean... they're garbage.

沒有辯論。我的意思是......他們是垃圾。

It was a very old argument  when I wrote the article and  

我寫這篇文章時，這是一個非常古老的爭論，而且

someone keeps recycling it every six months.

有人每隔六個月就不斷地回收它。

Almost every year they were  pushing this idea of modularity...

幾乎每一年他們都在推崇這種模塊化的理念......

the idea that a home, each part  of a home could be a different box

一個家，一個家的每個部分都可以是一個不同的盒子的想法

and you could just switch out the  box if you wanted to expand the home.

而且如果你想擴大家庭，你可以直接換掉盒子。

And and we were kind of brainwashed in that sense.

在這個意義上，我們被洗腦了。

Everyone. I'm talking about  everyone in architecture school.

每個人。我說的是建築學院的所有人。

And then I got to the real world and I  started like diving into building science

然後我到了現實世界，我開始喜歡潛心研究建築科學。

how things are constructed, not just  how things look, but how they function.

事物是如何構造的，不僅僅是事物的外觀，還有它們的功能。

Slowly, this argument about modular  shipping container construction fell apart.

慢慢地，這種關於模塊化海運貨櫃建築的爭論不攻自破。

It's an interesting look. And it appeals to people because it seems logical.

這是一個有趣的外觀。它吸引了人們，因為它看起來合乎邏輯。

As long as you don't think about  it for more than 5 minutes.

只要你不考慮超過5分鐘就可以了。

One of the first thing you see  with these houses is stacking.

你在這些房子裡看到的第一件事就是堆疊。

The way containers work is  they have these four major  

容器的工作方式是他們有這四個主要的

structural points in the ends of the container.

They're supposed to bear most of  the weight on those four footings.

他們應該在這四個腳上承擔大部分的重量。

So when you see them on a ship out in the  ocean, they're all stacked vertically.

是以，當你在海洋中的船上看到它們時，它們都是垂直堆放的。

Once you start offsetting  it or turning it at an angle

一旦你開始偏移它或以某種角度轉動它

no other part of the container is truly structural  or can bear the weight of the container.

容器的其他部分都不是真正的結構，也不能承受容器的重量。

The same goes for cool windows,  and doors, and garages.

涼爽的窗戶、門和車庫也是如此。

When you cut a hole, you need to reinforce.

當你切開一個洞時，你需要加固。

The container itself has made  it a very thin, flimsy metal.

容器本身已經成為一種非常薄的、脆弱的金屬。

But because of the geometry  and the corrugations...

但由於幾何形狀和波紋的關係...
