ve
come
up
with
a
design
that
puts
12
thousand
people
in

Cupertino
approved

started
in

2013.
库比蒂诺政府在2013年10月将其批准,我们在年末开始动工。

new
175

was

整个进驻过程将耗时半年。
Apple
Park
is
home
to
several
buildings
,
most
prominently
a
2.8
million
square
foot
ring
--
unofficially
known
as
the
spaceship
--
which
boasts
four
storeys
of
curved
glass
panels
and
one
of
the
largest
roof
-
mounted
solar
farms
in

苹果公园内有数所建筑,
最引人注目的是占地280万平方英尺的环形建筑,人们称其为苹果飞船,它的4层楼层全部由精雕细刻的玻璃面板构成,此外它还拥有世界上最大的屋顶太阳能农场。
The
Pentagon
is
considered
the
world
'

largest
office
building
by
floor
area
.
美国五角大楼被认为是就建筑面积而言最大办公楼。
But
Apple
Campus
is
now
the
largest
.
但是现在苹果公园是最大的了。
But
if
we
are
talking
about
how
many
employees
it
can
hold
,
the
Pentagon
is
still
the
largest
.
但是就可容纳员工数量而言,五角大楼仍是最大的。
The

can
house
12

workers
where
the

can
house
23

000.
苹果公园可容纳12000名员工而五角大楼可容纳23000名。

guess
most
people
will
not
take
that
fact
into
account
when
internet
search
results
show
the
spaceship
is
bigger
than
the
Pentagon
.
因为互联网搜索结果显示,苹果公园比五角大楼面积要大,所以我觉得人们可能还是觉得苹果公园容纳的人要多一点。
