【英国网友】上海世界第二高楼达到最高点

With a cheer, a wave and a peace sign,these construction workers are putting the finishing touches to what has beenhailed a symbol of 'China's boundless future'.

欢呼，招手，摆胜利手势，这些工人总算是完成了号称象征着“中国无限未来”的建筑的收尾工作。

Secured with safety ropes and harnesses,they sit astride the final truss on the top of what will be the world'ssecond-tallest skyscraper.

在安全绳和安全带的保护下，他们跨坐在这座即将成为世界第二高楼的顶部构架上。

Topped out exactly a year ago, the ShanghaiCentral Tower is already China's tallest tower. But its position was cementedtoday as the last part of its roof was secured, bringing it to its full heightof 2,073ft.

而就在一年前的竣工仪式上，这座上海中心塔就已经是中国第一高楼了。如今，随着其顶部最后部分建设的完成，达到了2073英尺的最高点。

Under construction for nearly six years, at a reported cost of $4.2billion, theShanghai Central Tower completes a triad of skyscrapers that now loom over thehorizon of the world's most populous city.

工期六年、费用据称为42亿美元的上海中心塔与其他两座上海高楼形成了一道靓丽的风景线，屹立在这座全世界人口最多的城市上。

Over its 121-storeys the building willinclude offices, shops, public spaces and a 320-room Four Season Hotel thatwill be the highest in the world.

总共121层，这座建筑将包括办公室，商店，公共空间，以及320个房间的四季酒店（因此也将成为世界上最高的酒店）。

Its completion will further the Chinese government's ambition to make a globalfinancial centre in Shanghai, which is already the world's busiest containerport and the gateway to China's heavy industries.

这座大厦的建成将有助于实现中国政府要把上海建设成全球金融中心的目标，而上海已经成为世界上最繁忙的集装箱港口，而且也是通往中国重工业基地的大门。

At its topping out ceremony last year,principal architect Jun Xia said the Central Tower and its sisters, the Jin MaoTower and the Shanghai World Financial Centre, 'will serve as a stunningrepresentation of our past, our present and China’s boundless future.'

在去年的竣工仪式上，首席建筑师骏侠说中心塔及其两个姐妹楼金贸大厦和上海金融中心“将成为我们过去，现在和中国无限未来的杰出代表。”

中国制造。我希望他们用于建造这座大楼的材料是高质量的，不要像他们所出口的那些短命的产品一样。

这都要归功于设计师，工程师和工人。这三种人表明只要男人和女人用心的话就可以完成这样的壮举。

Credit where it's due - this has beendesigned and built almost exclusively by men.

但事实是这座建筑从设计到建造，几乎都是由男人完成的。

No, no. Let the women have their say. Inthe name of equality, I salute all the women who were involved in theconstruction of this building. I am sure there may have been one or two in thecanteen.

不不，让妇女也拥有发言权吧。出于公平的角度，我向参与这项工程的女性表示敬意，我敢肯定他们的食堂团队中肯定有一两名妇女的。

Ive been to the top on the Shanghai WorldFinancial Centre and that is HIGH! I cant imagine sitting on scaffolding upthere, even with a harness.

我去过上海金融中心的顶部，确实是高啊！真不敢想象坐在那个脚手架上是什么感觉，即使有安全绳也令人感到害怕。

China is going to rule when the new worldorder comes around. That is why they are buying up our assets and financialcentres. The demolition of the world trade centres 1, 2, 7 I'm sure is alsoconnected to it.

当新的世界秩序建成时，中国将统领世界。这就是中国人购买我们资产和金融中心的用意所在了。世贸中心的倒塌，我觉得肯定也与这有关联。

This is crap. There are women, children,and men on this planet going hungry and homeless.

这真是胡闹。世界上还有那么多人无家可归、忍饥挨饿、

Matt,London, United Kingdom, 2 hours ago
And there are many thousands of people whohaven't gone hungry because they were working on this building, or designed it,or supplied its materials, or provided security, etc etc. And thousands morewill not be going hungry in future because they will be working in/on thisbuilding when it's finished. Alternatively, as you seem to prefer, they couldhave all been unemployed and the money spent on this building could haveinstead been used to feed and house all those thousands of unemployed peoplethat otherwise would have been earning it. And we're back at square one. Theonly difference being that you've got thousands more people relying on handoutsrather than being able to earn themselves a living.

但是也有很多人因为这座建筑而找到了工作，从而不用忍饥挨饿，他们或是这座建筑的工人，或是建筑师，或是提供原材料，或是当保安，等等。而当这座大楼完成建成投入运营时，又有好多人可以在里面找到工作。可是，在你看来，你倒不愿意看到这座大楼的建成，想把这些钱直接用来救济那些无家可归的人，而不是用这些钱盖这座大楼从而给他们提供就业机会并因此靠自己的劳动养活自己。如果真按你那样做，那我们等于什么都没干成。唯一的区别在于如果用来建造大楼那么就有好多人可以靠自己的劳动养活自己而不是靠别人的救济养活自己。

Designed by the American architectural firmGensler, the others are by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (US) and KohnPedersen Fox (US). Boundless apart from design, lol.

这栋大楼由美国晋思公司设计，其他两座大楼由美国的Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (US)公司和Kohn Pedersen Fox (US)公司设计。无限的未来，但设计却不是自己的，真是好笑啊，哈哈。
