        　　The city of Chicago was raised by several feet during the 1860s without
disrupting daily life or businesses closing down to solve a drainage problem.
Entire buildings, shopping centers, sidewalks and hotels were all lifted up
manually by laborers using jackscrews while people went about their daily lives,
shopped and dined. In one case, a large hotel was raised off the ground even
while guests stayed on oblivious of what was going on underneath them.
        　　19世纪60年代，为了解决排水问题，芝加哥曾“被长高”数英尺，但日常生活和经济活动却没有受到影响。工人们用起重机把房屋、购物中心、人行道和酒店顶起，人们则照常居住、购物和用餐。某家大旅馆被顶起时，居住在其中的旅客甚至没有注意到地下的工作。
