你敢在漂浮的旅馆房间过夜吗?

你喜欢冒险，曾在野外露营，曾在树屋上过夜，不过，在大海上飘移的“房间”里过一夜，你敢吗？出门旅行不想循规蹈矩的你准备好到日本港口城市佐世保练练自己的胆量吗？

There’s something equally exciting and terrifying about a floating hotel that travels while you sleep.

In an effort to1)draw more tourists from around the globe, a theme park in Japan is planning to2)launch just that, a unique hotel experience in which guests3)drift to an island while relaxing inside of a floating4)spherical capsule.

The Japan Times reports Dutch-themed park Huis Ten Bosch plans to offer the experience by the end of 2017.

The capsule will feature a bedroom on the top half and will have enough room for up to four guests. According to the Times, a one-night stay will cost between $260 and $350.

During their stay, though, guests will be transported to an island located nearly four miles from the park in Sasebo. Huis Ten Bosch owns a 39,000-square-meter5)uninhabited island that it will6)outfit with adventure-type attractions. It’s unclear how the park will7)ensure that the capsules reach their destination and don’t float out into the ocean. But we can only hope that GPS will be involved somehow.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time Huis Ten Bosch has attempted to8)pioneer a mindblowing concept. In 2015, it launched the Henn-na Hotel, a hotel staffed almost entirely by robots, including some dinosaurs. The hotel was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel.

这是一个长句，但结构层次清晰，要理解并不难。句中两个逗号之间的部分是句子的主句；主句前的介词结构in an effort to…开门见山，清楚表明这是一个表目的的状语；主句后的部分是含有定语从句的同位语，对前面的that，也就是前一句的内容进行具体解释。

如果你住的漂浮旅馆在你睡觉时会带着你旅行，这可是一件令人既兴奋又害怕的事。

为了吸引更多来自世界各地的游客，日本的一家主题公园正计划这样做——推出一项独特的酒店体验，让旅客在一个飘移的球囊里面休息的同时漂浮到一个岛上。

《日本时报》报道称，豪斯登堡荷兰主题公园计划在2017年底推出这个体验项目。

这种球囊的上半部将设计成卧室，最多可容纳四位旅客入住。据《日本时报》报道，在球囊里住一晚的收费从260至350美元（约合人民币1800~2400元）不等。

不过，旅客呆在球囊里时，他们将被送往距离在佐世保的主题公园近4英里（约6.4公里）外的一个岛上。豪斯登堡拥有一个3.9万平方米的无人岛，那里将建成冒险型景点。目前还不清楚公园方面将如何确保球囊能到达目的地，而不会漂到海上去。我们只能希望他们会用上全球定位系统。

令人惊讶的是，这已经不是豪斯登堡第一次开拓出让人称奇的项目了。早在2015年，他们的海茵娜酒店开业——这是一家几乎全部职员都由机器人充当的酒店，包括一些以恐龙形象出现的机器人。当时，这家酒店得到了吉尼斯世界纪录的认证，成为世界上第一家配备机器人职员的酒店。
