1957年发射的人造卫星是第一颗环绕地球运行的人造卫星。这个不起眼的四条腿的球体在大气层中解体前绕地球三个月，并引发了我们所知的太空竞赛的尴尬时期，在此期间，苏联和美国争夺宇航员的霸主地位。

Launched in 1957, Sputnik was the first man-made satellite to orbit the Earth. This unassuming four-legged sphere circled our planet for three months before disintegrating in the atmosphere and occasioned the awkward period we know as the Space Race, during which the Soviet Union and the USA competed for astronautic supremacy.

因此，位于维也纳第一区的斯普特尼克酒吧有一些复古的航天器。有支架的弧形皮革座椅、装有超大螺栓的不锈钢吧台、顶着皮革的不锈钢凳子、发光的桌子、明亮的黄色马桶、类似于旋转警报器的壁灯，以及隐藏在窗框中的LED灯，使磨砂玻璃发出淡淡的光亮。

Thus Sputnik Bar in Vienna’s fancy first district has something of the vintage spacecraft: Bolstered curved leather seats, a stainless steel bar fitted with oversize bolts, stainless steel stools topped with leather, luminous tables, bright yellow toilets, wall lamps that resemble rotating sirens, and LED lights hidden in window frames that make frosted glass glow with a fade.

它也有美国餐厅的影子，更多的是由于对航天器的参考，而不是尽管有这些参考–食客们自己也很容易受到新事物的影响。斯普特尼克号的圆形座位暗示了北美人的社交能力，不锈钢吧台和凳子让人想起汉堡和奶昔，也让人想起鸡尾酒。美国也被提到了，尽管是间接的，在发光的桌子上，因为它们暗指一百多年前阿道夫-卢斯在维也纳同一地区的美国酒吧所使用的桌子。

It also has something of the American diner, more because of the spacecraft references than despite them – diners being susceptible to neophilia themselves. Sputnik’s circular seating suggests sociability that feels North American, and the stainless steel bar and stools evoke burgers and milkshakes as much as they evoke cocktails. America is also referenced, albeit indirectly, in the glow tables, as they allude to the ones Adolf Loos employed in his American Bar more than a hundred years ago in the same area of Vienna.

但美国和太空竞赛的引用避免了50年代和60年代未来主义风格中常见的奢侈。Atompunk和Googie美学的狂热被后见之明的优势、对科学风险的充分认识、粉色的色彩和良好的现代设计所缓和。

But the American and Space Race quotations avoid the extravagance common to the futuristic styles of the 50s and 60s. The fancies of Atompunk and Googie aesthetics are tempered by the advantage of hindsight, by full knowledge of the risks of science, pastel colors, and good old modern design.

普鲁士蓝的防火吸音板让人感到轻松，特别是在它与楼梯护墙的白色相接处–这种对比几乎是地中海式的。内置座椅上的白色大理石和墙壁上的黄铜挂钩挂件是进一步触及永恒的东西，缓解了对未来的焦虑感。

The Prussian blue of the fire-rated acoustic panels is alleviating, especially where it meets the white of the staircase parapet wall – the contrast being almost Mediterranean. The white marble on the inbuilt seats and the brass hook hangers on the walls are further touches of timelessness that assuage the anxieties of the future.
