Would you live in a tall timber building?

你会住在一座高大的木结构建筑里吗？

Plus current technology and industry knowledge make super tall timber super expensive.

再加上当前的技术和行业知识，使得超高木材非常昂贵。

The current second tallest timber building -  HoHo Wien in Austria - was completed in 2020, coming in just one metre shorter.

目前第二高的木结构建筑——奥地利的 HoHo Wien——于 2020 年完工，仅矮一米。

By 2014, there were at least 30 taller timber buildings in the works or already completed, and now it's a worldwide wave.

到 2014 年，至少有 30 座更高的木结构建筑正在建设中或已经完工，现在这是一个全球性的浪潮。

As cool as it would be to see something like this in real life, super tall timber is not quite ready for prime-time.

尽管在现实生活中看到这样的东西很酷，但超高木材还没有为黄金时段做好准备。

Super tall timber might be a ways away, but the mid-rise mass timber boom is definitely on with Europe and Canada leading the way.

超高木材可能还有很长的路要走，但中层大型木材的繁荣肯定会在欧洲和加拿大引领潮流。

Ferns can even thrive on a photosynthetic income that's inadequate for the small offspring of many tall trees, and thus the humble fern coexists with the tall timber above by competing on its own terms.

青苔甚至能够在不充足的光合作用下茂盛成长，谦卑的青苔可以和大树的后代并存，在与高大木材的竞争中坚固自己的地位。
