First gold-plated hotel opens

世界首家镀金酒店开业

Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake, the world's first self-proclaimed gold-plated hotel, is open for business in Vietnam - and its owners insist they have the Midas touch despite the cramping of global travel during the coronavirus pandemic.

越南的杜嘉班纳河内金湖酒店宣称是世界上第一家镀金酒店，该酒店近日开业。尽管在新冠病毒大流行期间全球旅游业停滞，但该酒店老板坚称他们能逆势盈利。

The hotel cost $200 million to construct with 24-carat plating across lobbies, an infinity pool and rooms with even cutlery, cups, shower heads and toilet seats receiving the golden treatment.

建造这家酒店耗资2亿美元(约合人民币14亿元)，酒店内的大厅、无边游泳池，甚至房间里的餐具、杯子、淋浴喷头和马桶座圈全都是24k镀金的。

While expensive for ordinary Vietnamese at $250 a night, it is not prohibitive for wealthy locals craving a guilty pleasure.

每晚250美元(约合人民币1754元)的价位对于普通越南人来说太过高昂，但对那些渴望获得负罪式快感的当地富翁来说，这个价格并不算贵。
