A tour of Vienna is a tour of monuments to excess.
可以说，维也纳之旅就是对奢华建筑物的观光之旅。
Take Schonbrunn Palace，for instance. It was the summer palace of the Hapsburg monarchs from its constructionin 1696 until the fall of the dynasty in 1918. It was enlarged by Maria Theresa in 1743, and remains today much as she left it.
我们以美泉宫为例来看看吧。美泉宫自1696年建成到1918年整个王朝的没落，一直都是哈布斯堡皇室的夏宫。1743年，玛丽亚-黛丽莎女皇将其大肆重建，从那时起保持至今。
The Million Room in it，named after the cost of the decorations - 1 million guilders - is a Rococo masterpiece. Inset in the paneling are 260 rare miniatures of Indo-Persian heritage. The frames are real gold leaf，andthe paneling is precious wood. This was Maria Theresa's private salon.
其中的百万室，其命名来自于装饰成本的花费——一百万盾，是洛可可建筑风格的代表作。壁板中镶嵌的是260块稀有的古印度波斯特色的微雕。以纯金的金叶为框架，而壁板则是用贵重的木材制成的。这就是玛丽亚-黛丽莎女皇的私人客厅。
The Great Gallery，modeled after a room in Versailles near Paris，has 35-foot ceilings graced with giant frescoes boasting of the power of the Austrian army. Massive crystal chandeliers reflect in the wall of mirrors，trimmed in gold leaf. Other rooms are decorated with Chinese lacquered panels，gilded work，ornate wood carvings and large murals.
大画廊是模仿巴黎附近凡尔塞宫的房间而建的。35英尺高的天花板因一幅巨大的壁画雕刻而生辉，上面描述的是奥地利军队的强大实力。庞大的水晶装饰吊灯反射在小镜子墙壁上，与金叶交相呼应。其他房间也装饰着中国涂漆板画、镀金制品以及华丽的木雕和巨幅的壁画。
