架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个为女儿和丈夫建造的35岁房子的扩建项目。

Text description provided by the architects. This is an extension project on a thirty-five year-old house for a daughter and her husband. 

阿泽尔科娃树和一棵樟树自35年前主楼建成以来就一直矗立在工地上。拆除这些树是设计要求之一，因为如果这些树还不存在的话，就无法建造新的额外建筑。当我收到这个项目的报价时，我第一次访问这个地点之前，我考虑了各种设计。然而，当我亲眼看到现场时，我所有的想法都被吹走了。

Azelkova tree and a Camphor tree stood on the site since the time the main house was build thirty-five years ago.  Removing these trees was one of the design requirements because the new additional building could not be built if these trees remained.  When I received the offer for the project, I thought of various designs before I visited the site for the first time.  However, all my thoughts were blown away as soon as I saw the site in person.

那两棵树站在那儿很结实。我细细地听着这些故事，女儿还记得小时候爬过这些树。

The two trees stood there quite strongly. I listen to the stories in detail; the daughter has memories of climbing these trees when she was little.

这些树观察了家庭三十五年，他们给园丁上了颜色，和家人一起长大，因此，利用这些树为客户创造一个新的地方成为设计的主要主题。

These trees looked over the family for thirty-five years.  They colored the gardenand grew up with the family.  Therefore, utilizing these trees and creating a new place for the client became the main theme for the design.

详细地说，我把这两棵树的枝条原封不动地砍下来，然后通过吸烟和烘干两周来降低水分含量，然后我把树放在它们曾经站立的地方，并把它们作为主要的结构柱放在客厅、餐厅和厨房的中央。

In detail, I cut thetwo trees with their branches intact.  Then I reduced the water content by smoking and drying them for two weeks.  Thereafter, I placed the trees where they used to stand and used them as main structural columns in the center of the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

为了模仿以前的树木站立方式，我把那座建筑沉入地下70公分，我保持着比主楼低的高度，同时保持了4米的天花板高度。

In order to mimic the way the trees used to stand, I sunk the building addition 70 centimeters down in the ground.  I kept the height of the addition lower than the main house while still maintaining 4 meter ceiling height.

顺便说一句，烟和烘干过程是在川川县的一个窑里进行的，这两棵树从没有离开县城就回到了现场。

By the way, the smoking and drying process was done at a kiln within Kagawa prefecture.  These two trees returned to the site without ever leaving the prefecture.

这位客户要求附近神社的神道牧师在砍树时驱除邪恶，没有人会对这些树没有爱和依恋。

The client asked a Shinto priest at the nearby shrine to remove evil when the trees were cut.  Nobody would go that far without a love and attachment to these trees.

几百年后，当这座房子被拆除，另一栋由客户后裔建造的新建筑时，这两棵树肯定会被以某种形式重复使用。

When this house is demolished and another new building constructed by a descendant of the client hundreds of years from now, surely these two trees will be reused in some kind of form.
