美國最令人印象深刻的十大城市天際線(下)

Francisco, CA

5.舊金山，加利福尼亞

The largest city in the bay area of Northern California doesn't have skyscrapers as tall as those in its four predecessors, but it does have 109 structures that meet the standard, 18 of those being 500+ feet in height. Those that stand out on its skyline are the Transamerica Pyramid at 853 feet, 555 California Street at 779 feet, and 345 California Street at 724 feet. Two recent editions to the skyline's prominence are Millennium Tower at 645 feet and One Rincon Hill South Tower at 605 feet. Two other skyscrapers under construction, Salesforce Tower and 181 Fremont, scheduled for completion in 2018 and 2016 with planned heights of 1,070 feet and 802 feet respectively, could keep San Fran in its spot on this list. Will San Francisco maintain its claim to the greatest skyline in the West or will its big sister to the south bump it out?

這座北加州灣區最大的城市不像前四名有那麼高的大樓，但它有109座建築達到了評價標準，其中18座超過了500英尺。天際線中很突出醒目的是853英尺的泛美金字塔、779英尺的加利福尼亞街555號和724英尺的利福尼亞街345號。天際線還有兩位新成員是645英尺的千禧塔和605英尺的林康山南塔。兩棟在建的摩天大樓也許能保住舊金山的排名：1070英尺的樞紐塔和802英尺的181弗裏蒙特，分別將於2018年和2016年竣工。那麼舊金山能繼續享受西部最棒天際線的美譽嗎，還是會被南部的姐妹(洛杉磯)取而代之呢？

4.邁阿密，佛羅里達州

The Magic City has a true skyline. Where other cities seem more like sky clusters, Miami boasts a string of jaw-dropping skyscrapers, 105 in total that meet the standard, 28 of which stand 500+ feet, which run along the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida. It defeats the previous 6 skylines in this manner, since the city's tallest, Four Seasons Hotel and Tower, stands only 789 feet in height. Other impressive skyscrapers include the Wachovia Financial Center at 764 feet, 900 Biscayne Bay at 712 feet, and the Marquis at 679 feet. Miami is also continuing to grow, with ten more 500+ foot skyscrapers under construction, including the soon-to-be tallest in the city, Panorama Tower, with a scheduled completion date in 2017 and a planned height of 822 feet. The 990 foot observation tower, SkyRise Miami, is also under construction and due for completion in 2016. Although it won't add points to the score, it will nevertheless be another beautiful addition to the Miami skyline.

這座魔幻之城的天際線真實可觸。其他城市的高建築看起來更像空中羣落，而邁阿密擁有一連串令人瞠目結舌的摩天大廈。城中共有105座高樓符合評選標準，其中28座高度在500英尺以上，並沿南佛羅里達州大西洋海灘分佈。因其最高的大廈——佛羅里達州四季酒店高達789英尺，邁阿密得以超過榜單前六個城市佔據此位。除了四季酒店，其他令人印象深刻的摩天大樓還包括:764英尺的美聯金融中心，712英尺的900比斯坎灣酒店，以及679英尺的邁阿密侯爵酒店。邁阿密也在不斷髮展，城中還有十多座高於500英尺的摩天大廈正在建造，包括即將成爲這座城市最高建築的全景塔，預計高822英尺，在2017年竣工。高990英尺的瞭望塔——SkyRise Miami也在建造過程中，預計2016年竣工。即使它還未完工不能爲其上榜加分，將來必爲邁阿密天際線增添一道別樣的美景。

3.休斯頓，德克薩斯州

Some calculations place Miami ahead of Houston but that is a long stretch considering Houston registers 127 structures that meet the standard. An amazing 32 of these are 500+ feet and an even more astonishing 10 are 700+ feet. Houston's skyline is both dense and sparse, with numerous skyscrapers spread out over the city. Although it has multiple skylines, the vast majority of its skyscrapers stand in downtown. Its two giants, 600 Travis Street (aka JP Morgan Chase Tower) at 1,002 feet and Wells Fargo Plaza at 992 feet, stand prominently over the Central Business District, staring at each other over the tops of their fellow towers. These include the 700 footers Bank of America Center (780), Heritage Plaza (762), Enterprise Plaza (756), and Centerpoint Energy Plaza (741). The wow factor doesn't stop in downtown though. As we venture toward the Galleria District, another giant quickly comes into view. Williams Tower, at 901 feet, is the tallest building in the nation outside of a central business district. Houston is definitely where it belongs on this list. Its magnificent skyline makes it the second city in the Lone Star State to crack the top 10, proving that everything really is bigger in Texas.

在高度計算上邁阿密的天際線領先於休斯頓，但從大方向上看休斯頓有127座建築符合上榜標準。令人驚歎的是，城中有32座大廈高度在500英尺以上，甚至有十多座超過700英尺。休斯頓的天際線時而密集時而稀疏，城市中散佈着數不清的摩天大樓。即使如此，絕大多數都坐落在市中心。休斯頓高建築中的兩個“巨人”——1002英尺高的特拉維斯大街600號（又名JP摩根大通大廈）和992英尺高的威爾斯.費高大廈矗立在中央商務區的顯眼地段，彼此凝視着對方塔頂。高度位於700英尺以上的建築還包括：美國銀行中心（780英尺），克里達斯廣場（762英尺），企業廣場（756英尺），以及森帕能源廣場（741英尺）。這些令人驚歎的建築奇觀依舊在休斯頓市中心延續着。隨着向風雨商業街廊地區前進，另一巨人型高建築很快映入眼簾。高901英尺的威廉斯大廈是美國整個國家中身處商業中心區之外的最高建築。休斯頓榜上有名，毋庸置疑。壯麗的城市天際線使之成爲德州第二大城併名列榜單前十，也證明了德州一切都確實要比別家的大上一號。

2.芝加哥，伊利諾伊州

The Windy City has one of the most amazing skylines in the world and sits at #2 in the nation. It practically triples Houston with an astounding 377 structures that meet the standard. As awesome as it is, it still falls well short of the #1 spot. Despite this, anyone visiting Chicago will be awestruck by the sheer size of its skyline. 5 of its skyscrapers top the 1,000 foot mark (only one other city in the nation has more than one) with its tallest, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) reaching 1,451 feet. Upon completion in 1974, it became and remained the tallest building in the world for almost a quarter century. Another 107 of its structures are 500+ feet with 18 of these topping 700+ feet. Chicago's most famous skyscrapers are the John Hancock Center, standing 1,128 feet with 100 floors, the Aon Center at 1,136 feet, and the spectacular Trump International Hotel And Tower at 1,388 feet. It may never reach the top spot, but will continue to be a breathtaking spectacle nevertheless.

排名全美第二的風之城芝加哥有着世界上最壯觀的摩天大樓。337座達標的摩天大樓幾乎是休斯頓的三倍，這個數字還提醒我們芝加哥不久前曾位居全美榜單的第一名。每一個到訪芝加哥的人無不爲其城市天際線的規模而驚歎。全美只有兩個城市擁有兩座以上的千尺摩天大樓，其中一個就是獨擁5座的芝加哥。威利斯大廈（原西雅士大廈）的高度達到1451英尺。自從1974年完工開算，它霸佔世界最高大樓榜單頭名有30年之久。另外芝加哥還擁有107座500英尺以上和18座700英尺以上的大樓。1128英尺的百層約翰漢考克中心，1136英尺的怡安中心以及1388英尺高的壯觀的特朗普國際大酒店是芝加哥最著名的三座摩天大樓。對於摩天大樓，只能說沒有最高只有更高。

York City, NY

1.紐約，紐約州

When we're talking about the greatest skylines in the nation, everyone knows who takes the top spot. If Chicago stands head and shoulders above every other city on this list then New York City does the same to Chicago. Not only is it #1 in the nation, it arguably has the most impressive skyline in the world. It more than doubles Chicago in the number of qualifying structures, with 864, 222 of which stand 500+ feet. Of these, 43 stand 700+ feet and 7 top the 1,000 foot mark. It's most recent thousand footer, 432 Park Avenue, is not yet complete but topped out at 1,398 feet. The skyline took a huge blow on 9/11/01 when it lost its two tallest, but has since bounced back with five more additions that significantly add to its prominence. These are New York Times Tower (2007/1,046 feet), Bank of America Tower (2009/1,200 feet), One 57 (2014/1,005 feet), Four World Trade Center (2014/975 feet), and One World Trade Center (2014/1,776 feet). The latter restored the downtown skyline, becoming the tallest skyscraper in the nation and 4th tallest in the world. If you haven't seen these skylines, put them, and especially this one, on your bucket list.

當我們要提起擁有全美最壯觀的摩天大樓天際線的城市，不用說它的名字大家心裏就都會明白。如果說芝加哥是站在榜單上其他城市的肩膀上，那麼紐約就是以同樣的方式站在了芝加哥的頭上。不僅是全美，估計全世界也沒有能夠超越紐約摩天大樓天際線的城市。864座摩天大樓是芝加哥的兩倍還多，其中222座500英尺以上，43座700英尺以上以及7座1000英尺以上。離現在最近的1000英尺就是還未完工的432帕克大廈，但是已經達到了1398英尺。911恐怖襲擊中損失了兩座最高的摩天大樓，但從此之後新添的5座摩天大樓使紐約再次奪回榜首。建於2007年1046英尺的紐約時代大廈，2009年1200英尺的美國銀行大樓,2014年975英尺的世界貿易中心四期，2014年1776英尺的世界貿易中心一期.後者刷新了摩天大樓的記錄，成爲高度上全美第一，世界第四的摩天大樓。如果你沒見過這些壯觀的天際線，收藏起來，尤其這一個，趕快列入你的計劃表吧。
