即使有一半被雾笼罩,纽约市的天际线也能立即辨认出来。美国最高的10栋建筑中有8栋位于曼哈顿区。纽约市最著名的地标之一,帝国大厦,41年来一直是世界上最高的建筑。现在,世贸中心一号因其高耸的塔尖而成为目前美国最高的建筑。如果不经常抬头看看我们在过去150年中建造的现代奇迹,参观这座城市是不可能的。

New York City’s skyline is instantly recognisable, even when half-covered in fog. Eight of the United States’ 10 tallest buildings reside there, all in the borough of Manhattan. One of New York City’s most famous landmarks, the Empire State Building, was the world’s tallest building for 41 years. Now, One World Trade Center is currently the tallest building in the US thanks to its towering spire. It’s impossible to visit the city without constantly looking up at the modern marvels that we’ve built in the last 150 years.
