Six young men have spent around $120,000 (800,000 yuan) creating a frame reminiscent of the Airbus 320 using hammers and electric welding machines in Kaiyuan, Northeast China's Liaoning province, according to Shenyang Evening News.
据《沈阳晚报》报道，在中国东北辽宁省开原市，六名年轻人花了大约12万美元（约合80万元人民币），用锤子和电焊机造出了一架“空客320”。
With little knowledge of mechanics, the six amateur aircraft makers turned more than 40 metric tons of iron into a 37-meter-long and 36-meter-wide frame, much like those used to build the Airbus 320, within less than one year.
这六位业余的飞机制造者，对飞机结构知之甚少，但却在不到一年的时间里，将40多吨的钢铁打造成37米长、36米宽的空客320框架。
The young men encountered several setbacks in their efforts to obtain measurement data from an Airbus model.
这些年轻人在努力获取空客模型的测量数据时遇到了一些挫折。
At first, they tried to use computers to zoom in on the model, but the model was too small to produce accurate data. Later, they hired a company to do three-dimensional measurements on the model, but errors still occurred, which kept them revising the data.
起初，他们试图用电脑放大模型，但模型太小，无法获取准确的数据。后来，他们聘请了一家公司对该模型进行三维测量，可是误差仍然存在，这让他们不断地修改数据。
"When welding the engine, we were stumped. It took us a lot of effort to weld the 200 pieces of sheet iron. Luckily, we made it," said Zhu Yue, who once worked as a motorcycle repairman.
曾经是一名摩托车修理工的朱跃表示：“做发动机焊口的时候，我们被难住了。将200多个小铁片连接在一起费了很大周折。好在我们成功了。”
Zhu also said when the "Airbus 320" is finished, it could be used either as a wedding venue or a theme restaurant where staff could dress like flight attendants.
朱跃还表示，当“空客320”完工后，它既可以用作婚礼场地，也可以作为主题餐厅，而餐厅服务员都穿着空姐制服。
