上海中学屋顶建篮球场，丰富学生课余生活

导读:暑假期间，徐汇中学的教学楼楼顶上新建了一个篮球场，方便学生锻炼身体。

A middle school in Shanghai’s Xuhui district has introduced an innovative architectural feature for the benefit of its students: a basketball court, built on the school’s rooftop. The court was built in August and put into use in September.

上海徐汇区的一所中学为给学生带来益处，推出了一个创新的建筑特色：一个建在学校屋顶上的篮球场。篮球场于8月建成，9月投入使用。

Zeng Xianyi, the headmaster of the school, explained that students on the fourth and fifth floors have less time for physical activity during their 10-minute class breaks, as they need extra time to go up and down the stairs. For that reason, during the 2016 summer break, a basketball court was built on the school’s rooftop so that students whose classrooms are on high floors are able to fit in a quick game during breaks.

该校校长曾宪一解释说，在10分钟的休息期间，四、五层的学生身体活动的时间较少，因为他们需要额外的时间上下楼。因此，2016年暑假，学校的屋顶上建了一个篮球场，使教室在高层的学生能够在休息期间进行快速游戏。

Zeng explained that there are no added safety risks, as the basketball court is surrounded by a 4-meter-high fence, and even covered by a net on top. Students will not be at a heightened risk of falling off the building, and students on the ground won’t be threatened by basketballs flying off the elevated court.

曾解释说，这没有额外的安全风险，因为篮球场有一个4米高的围网，甚至顶部也有网覆盖。学生不会有高楼掉落的风险，地面上的学生不会受到从篮球场上飞出的篮球的威胁。

Zeng emphasized that the school attaches great importance to students’ education in music, sports and arts. They do everything they can to provide facilities that meet the students’ requirements in these subjects. Zeng said he now plans to build basketball or soccer courts on the rooftops of the school’s two other campuses.

曾强调，学校非常重视学生在音乐、体育和美术方面的教育。他们尽一切所能提供设施，满足学生在这些科目中的要求。曾说，他现在计划在学校另外两个校区的屋顶上建篮球或足球场。
