The Golden Gate Bridge (这个大桥叫“金门大桥”)The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning over 1,280 meters to connect San Fransisco to the surrounding northern Californian counties. The bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1937 up until 1964. The bridge stands 67 meters above the water, with its towers reaching 227 meters above the water. The live load capacity is 1,814.4 kg/lineal foot with a maximum center span downward deflection of 3.3 meters. Each of the 2 main support cables has a diameter of 0.92 meters and is 2,332 meters long. 129,000 kilometers of wire is used in each cable. The Golden Gate Bridge took 4 years to build. Glare-free goggles and an early version of hard hats were used for the first time in the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Safety nets were also suspended below the bridge from end to end. The nets saved the lives of 19 men who were from then on known as members of the Half Way to Hell Club. Although 11 men died during the construction of the bridge, this was a distinct improvement over most construction projects of the time. The bridge has been closed on 3 occasions due to extremely high wind speeds, but withstood the onslaughts all 3 times. In 1989 an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale forced the San Fransisco / Oakland Bay Bridge to close, but the Golden Gate Bridge was able to stay open. The original paint on the Golden Gate Bridge lasted 27 years until 1965 when concern over the high salt and moisture content in the air became a concern. In 1969 a sand blasting project was initiated to remove the old lead based paint and to repair corrosion. A lead-free primer and top coat were then applied to protect the bridge from corrosion and adhere to environmental regulations. The project was completed in 1996. Recent updates to the Golden Gate Bridge include Seismic Refitting, the installation of a movable barrier between oncoming lanes of traffic, a safety railing, suicide deterrent screens, and cable restoration. 翻译: 金 门 大 桥金门大桥是跨度超过1280m的悬索桥,它把旧金山和加利副尼亚北部周围的县连接起来,该桥从1937年建成到1964年一直是当时世界上最长的悬索桥。它距离水面67m,其塔高出水面达到227m。活载承载能力为18144kpa/inch,最大中间跨度向下倾斜3.3m。两个支撑的主索每个直径0.92m,长2332m,每个用了129000千米的金属丝。金门大桥的施工用了4年时间。金门大桥在早期施工阶段采用了(Glare-free goggles and an early version of hard hats ?)施工法,从桥的这端到那端安全网也悬挂在桥的下面,该网救了从那以后被看作是通过公路去地狱俱乐部的19个人的命,但是仍有11人在施工过程中丧生,这相对那时许多建筑工程是一个很明显的进步。金门大桥由于很大的风速而关闭过3次,但是抵住了所有3次冲击。在1989年一次测量为里氏7.1级地震迫使旧金山/奥克兰海湾桥关闭,然而金门大桥一直能够保持畅通。金门大桥上原来的油漆持续了27年,一直到1965年考虑到空气中过高的盐分和潮湿的厉害关系,在1969年一个沙滩爆破项目被发动来移除旧的铅装置油漆,并且修补腐蚀的地方。一个释放的铅雷管和顶层油漆随后被装置来保护桥免于侵蚀,并且符合环境规章。该工程于1996年完成。近来对金门大桥更新材料包括地震的改装,该装置是一个在将来交通的通道、安全的扶手、自杀威慑屏和缆索复位之间可活动的栅栏。

1 白宫白宫(The White House,也称白屋)是美国总统的官邸和办公室。白宫由美国国家公园管理局拥有,是“总统公园”的一部分。二十美元纸币的背面图片就是白宫。白宫是一幢白色的新古典风格砂岩建筑物,位于华盛顿哥伦比亚特区西北宾夕法尼亚大道1600号。因为白宫是美国总统的居住和办公的地点,“白宫”一词常代指美国政府。白宫的基址是美国开国元勋、第一任总统乔治·华盛顿选定的,始建于1792年,1800年基本完工,设计者是著名的美籍爱尔兰人建筑师詹姆斯·霍本。但当时并不称白宫,“白宫”是1902年西奥多·罗斯福总统正式命名的。2 帝国大厦纽约帝国大厦始建于1930年3月,是当时使用材料最轻的建筑,建成于西方经济危机时期,成为美国经济复苏的象征,如今仍然和自由女神一起成为纽约永远的标志。曾为世界第一高大楼和纽约市的标志性建筑。 是世界七大工程奇迹之一,在世界贸易中心在911事件倒塌后,继续接任纽约第一大楼的头衔,直到自由塔建成。3 自由女神像自由女神像又称自由照耀世界(Liberty Enlightening The World),是法国在1876年赠送给美国的独立100周年礼物。美国的自由女神像位于美国纽约州纽约市哈德逊河口附近,是雕像所在的美国自由岛的重要观光景点。女神右手高举象征自由的火炬,左手捧着刻有1776年7月4日的《独立宣言》,脚下是打碎的手铐、脚镣和锁链。她象征着自由、挣脱暴政的约束,在1886年10月28日落成并揭幕。雕像锻铁的内部结构是由后来建造了巴黎埃菲尔铁塔的居斯塔夫·埃菲尔设计的。自由女神像高46米,加基座为93米,重225吨,是金属铸造,置于一座混凝土制的台基上。自由女神的底座是著名的约瑟夫·普利策筹集10万美金建成的,底座是一个美国移民史博物馆。1984年,自由女神像被列为世界文化遗产。4 国会大楼国会大厦位于华盛顿25米高的国会山上,是美国的心脏建筑。国会大厦建于1793-1800年,与华盛顿的多栋重要建筑一样,亦未幸免于1814年英美战争的损毁。战后重建之后,百年以来,国会大厦又进行了包括1851-1867年的浩大重建工程在内的多次扩建,最终形成了今日的格局。国会大厦是一幢全长233米的3层建筑,以白色大理石为主料,中央顶楼上建有出镜率极高的3层大圆顶,圆顶之上立有一尊6米高的自由女神青铜雕像。大圆顶两侧的南北翼楼,分别为众议院和参议院办公地。众议院的会议厅就是美国总统宣读年度国情咨文的地方。它仿照巴黎万神庙,极力表现雄伟,强调纪念性,是古典复兴风格建筑的代表作。国会大厦东面的大草坪是历届总统举行就职典礼的地方。5 五角大楼五角大楼是世界上建筑面积最大的单体办公楼,其总建筑面积达650万平方英尺(合60.4万平方米),其中办公面积为370万平方英尺(合34.4万平方米)。大约有23000名军方人士及文职人员在五角大楼工作,另外还有约3000名非国防志愿者在五角大楼服务。五角大楼共有五个外立面,建筑分为五层(包括地下两层),每层由内至外共有5个环状走廊,走廊总长度达到17.5英里(合28.2公里)。6 独立纪念碑它是华盛顿市举目可见的第一地标,美国国家草坪的中心点。1848年的美国独立纪念日,当时的美国总统以华盛顿在国会大厦奠基仪式所用的泥刀,为华盛顿纪念碑砌下了奠基石。为了这一工程的破土动工,名为“国家纪念碑筹建协会”的机构,已在全国筹款了15年。到1854年南北战争时期,因战争而停建的纪念碑已有约50米。1876年,华盛顿纪念碑终于开始被继续建造,至1885年全面建成,全高169米。华盛顿纪念碑约50米以上部分的白色大理石石色略深于下方,是两段相隔22年的建造过程留下的痕迹。华盛顿纪念碑是一座石质的方尖碑,高高的正方体碑柱顶端,为四面三角形的尖顶,锐气逼人。华盛顿纪念碑内部中空,其内壁上嵌有各个国家、美国各州市、各大团体及名人所赠的石碑193块,其中包括清朝宁波府所赠的文言文石碑,碑上文字取自福建巡抚徐继畲的《瀛寰志略》。7 金门大桥金门大桥是世界著名的桥梁之一,是近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州长1900多米的金门海峡之上,历时4年和10万多吨钢材,耗资达3550万美元建成,由史特劳斯设计。金门大桥是世界著名大桥之一,被誉为近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹,也被认为是旧金山的象征。金门大桥的设计者是工程师史特劳斯,人们把他的铜像安放在桥畔,用以纪念他对美国作出的贡献。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上。金门海峡为旧金山海湾入口处,两岸陡峻,航道水深,为1579年英国探险家弗朗西斯·德雷克发现,并由他命名。

你说金门大桥大家不是更容易理解吗?What sights do you think of when you picture the city of San Francisco? How about the massive and lovely 4,200-foot orange-painted steel suspension bridge known as the Golden Gate Bridge? The famous bridge was completed and opened to pedestrian traffic on May 27, 1937. The next day, with a push of a telegraph button in the White House, President Franklin Roosevelt opened the bridge to cars, too. The Golden Gate is special for a number of reasons. Until 1964, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. (Today, the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan boasts the longest span at over 6,500 feet.) Do you know how it got its name? 当你想到旧金山是,你的脑海中会浮现什么?是不是被称做金门大桥的这座庄大又美丽,长达4200英尺的橙色铜铁吊桥?这座有名的桥梁在1937年5月27日完工且正式对行人开放?隔天,法兰克林‧罗斯福在白宫按下启动钮,金门大桥正式开放让汽车通行。金门大桥之所以特别,其实有几个原因。在1964年之前,金门大桥都还是全世界最长的吊桥。(现在世界最长的吊桥是横跨本州与四国之间的明石海峡桥,最宽之虚约有6500英尺。)你知道这座桥梁为什么取名为金门大桥吗?The area known as the Golden Gate is the channel formed where the mouth of the San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. People used the name Golden Gate as early as 1846, even before the gold rush and long before the bridge. Explorer John C. Frémont was possibly the first to call the rocky straits the "Golden Gate."Construction of the bridge began in 1932, during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce. The men working on the Golden Gate Bridge (a four-and-a-half-year project) were greatly envied, even though they worked in very dangerous conditions, balancing high above the freezing ocean waters. 这片被称之为“金门”(Golden Gate)的土地是旧金山湾与太平洋交界地。人们从1846年开始称这个地方为金门,比当地出现淘金热及金门大桥出现的时间都还要早。探险家约翰‧佛瑞蒙特(John C. Frémont)可能是第一个叫这个海峡湾“金门”的人。金门大桥的建造始于1932年经济大萧条时。虽然这些工人必须在非常危险的环境下工作,因为他们得在冰冷的海水上方保持身体的平衡,但是由于当时工作机会相当稀少,人们还是很羡慕在金门大桥工作的工人(这是一个4年半的建造计划)。介绍文章一:To combat the dangerous working conditions, bridge designer Joseph Strauss introduced the hard hat and a safety net that stretched end to end under the bridge. Nineteen workers fell. Saved by that net, they called themselves the Half-Way-to-Hell Club.In May 1987, to celebrate the bridge's 50th anniversary, some 300,000 people reenacted "Pedestrian Day '37" with an event dubbed "Bridgewalk '87." Two years later, the gracefully suspended bridge withstood a 7.1 magnitude earthquake without incident. 为了要对抗危险的工作环境,桥梁设计师约瑟夫‧史特劳斯(Joseph Strauss)引进了安全帽,并且在桥梁下方两端绑上一个安全网,因而拯救了19位坠落的工人。这些工人称自己为“离地域只有一半路程俱乐部”成员。1987年5月,为了庆祝这座桥梁建造完成50周年,大约有30万人设定了一个成为“1987年桥梁行走日”(Bridgewalk' 87)的庆祝活动,以呼应1937年的“1937年行人日”(Pedestrian Day '37)。两年之后,这座优雅的吊桥抵挡了一场规模7.1级的地震,没有任何损伤。介绍文章二:The orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge – probably the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed bridge in the world – are visible from almost every point of elevation in San Francisco. The only cleft in Northern California's 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52 months to design and build, and was opened in 1937. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the world's longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, rendering the hitherto essential ferry crossing redundant, and was designed to withstand winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft. Handsome on a clear day, the bridge takes on an eerie quality when the thick white fogs pour in and hide it almost completely. You can either drive or walk across. The drive is the more thrilling of the two options as you race under the bridge's towers, but the half-hour walk across it really gives you time to take in its enormous size and absorb the views of the city behind you and the headlands of Northern California straight ahead. Pause at the midway point and consider the seven or so suicides a month who choose this spot, 260ft up, as their jumping-off spot. Monitors of such events speculate that victims always face the city before they leap. In 1995, when the suicide toll from the bridge had reached almost 1000, police kept the figures quiet to avoid a rush of would-be suicides going for the dubious distinction of being the thousandth person to leap. Perhaps the best-loved symbol of San Francisco, in 1987 the Golden Gate proved an auspicious place for a sunrise party when crowds gathered to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Some quarter of a million people turned up (a third of the city's entire population); the winds were strong and the huge numbers caused the bridge to buckle, but fortunately not to break. 希望能对你有所帮助.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate strait, the mile-wide, three-mile-long channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County, bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.金门大桥是一座悬索吊桥横跨金门海峡,旧金山湾和太平洋之间的英里宽,3英里长的通道。结构并于美国旧金山市,在旧金山半岛的北端,马林县,两岸桥接两个美国101号公路,加州州立路线1。这座桥是旧金山,加利福尼亚州和美国的最国际公认的标志之一。它已被宣布为现代世界的土木工程师的美国社会的奇观之一。

For almost two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people. Its history, and the history of the nation's capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square……on the river Potomac." President Washington, together with city planner Pierre L'Enfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "President's House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design. Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved in. Since that time, each President has made his own changes and additions. The White House is, nt's private home. It is also the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge. The White House has a unique and fascinating history. It survived a fire at the hands of the British in 1814 (during the war of 1812) and another fire in the West Wing in 1929, while Herbert Hoover was President. Throughout much of Harry S. Truman's presidency, the interior of the house, with the exception of the third floor, was completely gutted and renovated while the Trumans lived at Blair House, right across Pennsylvania Avenue. Nonetheless, the exterior stone walls are those first put in place when the White House was constructed two centuries ago. Presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate some parts of the house and in how they receive the public during their stay. Thomas Jefferson held the first Inaugural open house in 1805. Many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home, where he greeted them in the Blue Room. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, he welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. In 1829, a horde of 20,000 Inaugural callers forced President Andrew Jackson to flee to the safety of a hotel while, on the lawn, aides filled washtubs with orange juice and whiskey to lure the mob out of the mud-tracked White House. After Abraham Lincoln's presidency, Inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate them comfortably. However, not until Grover Cleveland's first presidency did this unsafe practice change. He held a presidential review of the troops from a flag-draped grandstand built in front of the White House. This procession evolved into the official Inaugural parade we know today. Receptions on New Year's Day and the Fourth of July continued to be held until the early 1930s. President Clinton's open house on January 21, 1993 renewed a venerable White House Inaugural tradition. Two thousand citizens, selected by lottery, were greeted in the Diplomatic Reception Room by President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President and Mrs. Gore.
