美國最令人印象深刻的十大城市天際線(上)

There are hundreds of skylines in the United States that leave lasting impressions. This list names the top 10 most impressive based on the number of skyscrapers within the city limits, which reach a minimum height for maximum visual impact of 300 feet. These skylines are in a league of their own and contain a variety of skyscrapers that would draw the attention of any casual onlooker. There is a certain wow factor one experiences when entering a city with a skyline such as this. Seeing the sheer scale of man's innovation while maneuvering toward and through the steel and concrete canyons makes us realize just how small we are and ultimately takes our breath away.

美國數以百計的天際線給人留下了無法磨滅的印象。這份名單列出了美國最令人印象深刻的十大城市天際線，300英尺是天際線的最低高度,卻能產生最大的視覺衝擊。除了天際線本身之外，它還囊括了許多高樓大廈，任何一個偶然路過的人都會爲其駐足。這些城市有着如此驚奇的天際線，確實有資本讓每個剛進入這個城市的人都大吃一驚。人類竟可以創造出如此規模的高樓大廈，但同時這些由鋼筋和混凝土搭建而成的“峽谷”卻又讓我們歎爲觀止，意識到自己竟如此的渺小。

Vegas, NV

10.拉斯維加斯，內華達州

Sin City topped other behemoths like Boston and Seattle, not by height, but by sheer quantity. With 63 structures that meet the standard height of 300+ feet, the Las Vegas skyline shines bright above 91 others in the nation. The Palazzo at 642 feet, the Encore at 631 feet, the Trump International Hotel and Tower at 622 feet, Wynn Las Vegas at 614 feet, and New York, New York at 529 feet are some of its more notable skyscrapers. These massive casino/hotel towers don't resemble traditional skyscrapers but the skyline they create cannot be denied. The Las Vegas skyline may not fit the mold, but it is still a magnificent site to see. Other structures that add to its prominence are the Stratosphere Observation Tower at 1,149 feet and the Fontainebleau Resort Hotel, which although incomplete, has been topped out at 735 feet.

罪惡之城——拉斯維加斯，將波斯頓和西雅圖等巨獸之城甩在身後，可不是通過高度取勝的，而是靠它的絕對數量。拉斯維加斯有63幢建築物高達到300多英尺，這些建築物的天際線比另外91座城市更加閃耀。拉斯維加斯宮殿高642英尺，科恩高631英尺，特朗普國際酒店和塔樓高622英尺，拉斯維加斯酒店高614英尺，而紐約最高的建築只有529英尺。這些許許多多的賭場和酒店大樓不是傳統形式的高樓大廈，卻是無法否認的天際線。拉斯維加斯的天際線不符合模具，但它絕對是值得一看的地標性建築。高1149英尺的雲霄觀測塔和楓丹白露的度假酒店等建築也爲拉斯維加斯增添了不少名氣，雖然這些建築還未竣工，但已建成部分高達735英尺。

adelphia, PA

9.費城，賓夕法尼亞州

The City of Brotherly Love boasts an awesome spectacle for a skyline, wowing any onlooker who turns that corner on I-76 and gets their first glimpse. Coming in at #9, it has 78 structures that meet the standard. Its most notable skyscrapers are the Comcast Center at 974 feet, One and Two Liberty Place at 945 feet and 848 feet, Mellon Bank Center at 792 feet, and Bell Atlantic Tower at 739 feet. The twin towers, One and Two Commerce Square at 565 feet each, also add a nice touch. Philly had a gem in the works with the planned 1,500 foot tower American Commerce Center, but what would have been the 2nd tallest building in the nation was cancelled. Several new skyscrapers are under construction though with one, the Comcast Innovation and Technology Center, having a planned height of 1,121 feet. Philadelphia is definitely on the rise.

友愛之城——費城，其壯觀的天際線讓這座城市引以爲傲，它能讓每一個在I-76號拐角轉彎的路人都駐足觀賞。而I-9號有78幢建築物達標，最令人歎爲觀止的是高達974英尺的奧斯卡特，高945英尺的一號自由廣場和848英尺的二號自由廣場，792英尺的梅隆銀行中心，739英尺的貝爾西洋大塔。雙子塔——一號、二號商業廣場都高達565英尺，爲費城添上美麗的一筆。城市中有一顆璀璨的珠寶正處於待建中——美國商業中心，計劃建造1500英尺，但是這原本將會是這個國家第二高的建築，被取消了。幾座高樓大廈正在施工中，計劃中的康卡斯特創新和技術中心也將高達1121英尺。費城的崛起毋庸置疑

8.達拉斯，德克薩斯州

The 2nd largest skyline in Texas one-ups Philadelphia by height alone and currently sits comfortably at #8. With 69 structures that meet the standard (9 less than Philly) it has 19 skyscrapers that stand 500+ feet, compared with 11 for Philadelphia. It's most impressive are the Bank of America Plaza, standing 921 feet and brilliantly lit with green argon lights at night, Renaissance Tower at 886 feet, Comerica Bank Tower at 787 feet, JP Morgan Chase Tower at 738 feet, and Fountain Place at 720 feet. Other skyscrapers worthy of a second glance are the Trammell Crow Center at 686 feet, 1700 Pacific at 655 feet, and Thanksgiving Tower at 645 feet. Regardless of its position on this list, Dallas has one of the more dazzling skylines in the nation.

德克薩斯州的第二大天際線僅僅靠高度就贏過了費城，圖八中我們可以看到它和城市顯得相得益彰。在滿足條件的69個建築中（比費城少9個）有19座超過500英尺的摩天大樓，相比而言，費城只有11座。最令人稱道的是美國銀行廣場，高921英尺，到了晚上綠色的氬燈照射出明亮的燈光，文藝復興大樓有886英尺高，美國聯信銀行大廈高787英尺，摩根大通大廈高739英尺，噴泉廣場高720英尺。其他值得多看一眼的摩天大樓有特拉梅爾烏鴉中心高686英尺，太平大街1700號高655英尺，感恩節塔高645英尺。且不論榜單上這些建築的位置，在美國，達拉斯有着更耀眼的天際線。

7.亞特蘭大，佐治亞

Although its skyline is spread out along the I-75 corridor, making it difficult to view all at once, Atlanta handily tops Dallas. It mimics New York City (albeit on a significantly smaller scale) by having multiple skylines in both downtown and midtown settings. It currently has 85 structures that meet the standard, with 17 of those standing 500+ feet, and boasts the tallest building in the South with its impressive Bank of America Plaza at 1,023 feet. SunTrust Plaza and midtown's One Atlantic Center are its other two most impressive, standing 871 and 820 feet respectively. Other notable skyscrapers are 191 Peachtree Tower at 770 feet, the cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza, once the tallest hotel in the world at 723 feet, and the Georgia Pacific Tower at 697 feet. Atlanta truly is the New York City of the South.

儘管亞特蘭大的天際線分散在I-75路，讓人很難一下子全部看全。儘管是這樣，亞特蘭大還是輕鬆超越了達拉斯。它模仿紐約（儘管規模比紐約小）修建多個摩天大樓在商業區以及其毗鄰區域。目前85個達到標準的建築中，有17個是高於500英尺。這裏擁有南部最高的建築以及最令人稱道的美國銀行廣場，高1023英尺。太陽信託廣場和市中心的第一大西洋中心是兩個最令人流連忘返的地方，分別高871英尺和820英尺。其他著名的摩天大樓有桃樹大廈191號高770英尺，圓柱形的威斯汀桃樹廣場酒店，這是世界上最高的酒店有723英尺高。還有喬治太平洋大廈，697英尺高。亞特蘭大的確是南方的紐約。

Angeles, CA

6.洛杉磯，加利福尼亞

The City of Angels has a massive dense cluster of skyscrapers in downtown that make up the one of the most elegant skylines in the nation. However, it still only registers at #6. It tops its predecessors though through a combination of both quantity and height. It only has 79 structures that meet the standard (5 less than Atlanta) but 22 of those stand 500+ feet and more impressively, 8 of these stand 700+ feet. It also boasts the tallest building west of the Mississippi River in the 1,018 foot US Bank Tower. It's second tallest, Aon Center, stands 858 feet and its 700 footers include Two California Plaza (750), Gas Company Tower (749), Bank of America Plaza (735), 777 Tower (725), Wells Fargo Tower (723), and Figueroa at Wilshire. This equates to a truly amazing west coast skyline that will leave any onlooker in awe.

洛杉磯市中心密集的摩天大樓羣構成了美國最優美的天際線之一。然而，它仍然只排到了第6位。不過，它還是憑藉數量和高度的結合勝過了上面幾座城市。它只有79座建築達到評價標準（比亞特蘭大少5座），但其中22座的高度都超過了500英尺，更令人歎爲觀止的是，有8座都高過了700英尺。它引以爲豪的還有1018英尺高的聯邦銀行大廈，密西西比河西岸最高的建築。第二高的建築怡安中心有858英尺高，超過700英尺的建築還有加利福尼亞廣場二期（750英尺）、煤氣公司大廈（749英尺）、美國銀行廣場（735英尺）、777大廈（725英尺）、富國銀行大廈（723英尺）以及三和銀行廣場。這些高樓大廈在西海岸劃出的天際線足以使任何觀衆心生敬畏。
