A Japanese housing developer recently unveiled a “flood-resistant house” that can not only remain waterproof during floods, but also float off the ground.

The house is connected to a number of thick iron rods sticking out of the ground with thick cables that ensure it stays in place as the water floods past.
这座房子与许多伸出地面的粗铁棒相连，铁棒上带有粗缆绳，以确保洪水泛滥时房屋保持在原位。

When the waters recede, the floating house comes back down to its original position.
当洪水退去时，漂浮的房子会回到原来的位置。

It also features special vents that close in the event of flooding, and the plumbing has special valves that prevent water from getting into the home.
“抗洪屋”还具有特殊的通风口，在发生洪水时可以关闭，水管也有特殊的阀门，防止洪水涌入家中。
