Worldwide weird: Dinner cooked by an active volcano

世界奇事：活火山烹制午餐

導(dǎo)讀：你可能吃過鐵板燒，也可能吃過露天燒烤，那你吃過火山燒烤嗎?今天聽力課堂帶大家進(jìn)行一次奇妙的火山燒烤之旅。

在El Diablo餐廳，一個鐵制格柵放置在一個圓形的火山巖坑上，而巖坑中會釋放出天然熱量到表面。

A restaurant in the Canary Islands is taking barbequing to a whole new level.

El Diablo是一家位于西班牙加納利島上的餐廳，它將燒烤水平推高到了全新的境界。

Rather than relying on fire, electricity or natural gas, chefs at El Diablo heat their meat over a still-active volcano.

這家餐廳的廚師燒烤食物采用的不是火，電或天然氣而是活火山的天然熱量。

The one-of-a-kind grill is not spewing with lava (it hasn’t erupted since 1824); instead an iron grate sits over a circular basalt pit that funnels the earth’s natural heat to the surface, where temperatures range between 400C and 600C.

這獨(dú)一無二的烤架并不會噴涌出火山巖漿(該火山自1824年就未曾爆發(fā)過);相反，一個鐵制格柵被放置在一個圓形的火山巖坑上，而巖坑中會釋放出溫度400-600度的天然熱量到表面。

The El Diablo chefs cook lamb, chicken and fish over the geothermal stove, for use in traditional Canarian dishes. Plan to eat early as the kitchen closes at 3:30 pm, although a special Tuesday evening reservation can be booked in advance for 50 euros, which includes a tour, a three-course meal and transportation to and from local hotels.

The volcano-powered kitchen was built by local architect César Manrique in 1970. Unable to lay the foundations due to the ground’s heat, he and fellow designers added nine layers of basalt rock to serve as the restaurant’s base, leaving part of it open to the heat.

Today, the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the park’s volcanic calderas, cones, craters and black lava fields. The landscape has remained virtually unchanged since the last eruption, thanks to minimal rainfall and government protection.

今天，這家餐廳的落地窗能夠讓人們欣賞到周圍壯觀的火山全景。由于較小的降雨量和政府的保護(hù)，那里的景象自最后一次火山爆發(fā)后，就幾乎沒有改變。
