The Jumbo Floating Restaurant, one of Hong Kong’s most famous landmarks, capsized in the South China Sea.
The large boat, which spent nearly half a century in Hong Kong’s waters, was towed from the city last week after closing down during the pandemic. The boat hit inclement weather, which caused strong sea waves, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The boat is famous for its lavish banquet halls and neon lights, playing host to “numerous international dignitaries and celebrities,” including Queen Elizabeth II and Tom Cruise. It is featured in one of Stephen Chow’s most iconic works, God of Cookery, in 1996.
香港珍寶海鮮舫是香港最著名的地標之一，近期在南中國海傾覆，沉入海中。
珍寶海鮮舫在香港的港邊停靠了近半個世紀，在疫情期間關閉後，近期被拖離香港，卻在航行途中遇到惡劣天氣所引發的強烈海浪，不幸沉入海底，且難以打撈。
這艘船以奢華的宴會廳和鮮豔的霓虹燈而聞名，全盛時期接待過眾多國際政要和名人，包括英國女王伊麗莎白二世和影星湯姆克魯斯。它也出現在周星馳1996年上映、最具代表性的作品之一《食神》中。

至於capsize，意思是「翻船」、「傾覆」，也有「使翻船」的意思
例句：
