美国最令人印象深刻的十大城市天际线(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.

美国数以百计的天际线给人留下了无法磨灭的印象。这份名单列出了美国最令人印象深刻的十大城市天际线，300英尺是天际线的最低高度,却能产生最大的视觉冲击。除了天际线本身之外，它还囊括了许多高楼大厦，任何一个偶然路过的人都会为其驻足。这些城市有着如此惊奇的天际线，确实有资本让每个刚进入这个城市的人都大吃一惊。人类竟可以创造出如此规模的高楼大厦，但同时这些由钢筋和混凝土搭建而成的“峡谷”却又让我们叹为观止，意识到自己竟如此的渺小。

Vegas, NV

10.拉斯维加斯，内华达州

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.

罪恶之城——拉斯维加斯，将波斯顿和西雅图等巨兽之城甩在身后，可不是通过高度取胜的，而是靠它的绝对数量。拉斯维加斯有63幢建筑物高达到300多英尺，这些建筑物的天际线比另外91座城市更加闪耀。拉斯维加斯宫殿高642英尺，科恩高631英尺，特朗普国际酒店和塔楼高622英尺，拉斯维加斯酒店高614英尺，而纽约最高的建筑只有529英尺。这些许许多多的赌场和酒店大楼不是传统形式的高楼大厦，却是无法否认的天际线。拉斯维加斯的天际线不符合模具，但它绝对是值得一看的地标性建筑。高1149英尺的云霄观测塔和枫丹白露的度假酒店等建筑也为拉斯维加斯增添了不少名气，虽然这些建筑还未竣工，但已建成部分高达735英尺。

adelphia, PA

9.费城，宾夕法尼亚州

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.

友爱之城——费城，其壮观的天际线让这座城市引以为傲，它能让每一个在I-76号拐角转弯的路人都驻足观赏。而I-9号有78幢建筑物达标，最令人叹为观止的是高达974英尺的奥斯卡特，高945英尺的一号自由广场和848英尺的二号自由广场，792英尺的梅隆银行中心，739英尺的贝尔西洋大塔。双子塔——一号、二号商业广场都高达565英尺，为费城添上美丽的一笔。城市中有一颗璀璨的珠宝正处于待建中——美国商业中心，计划建造1500英尺，但是这原本将会是这个国家第二高的建筑，被取消了。几座高楼大厦正在施工中，计划中的康卡斯特创新和技术中心也将高达1121英尺。费城的崛起毋庸置疑

8.达拉斯，德克萨斯州

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.

德克萨斯州的第二大天际线仅仅靠高度就赢过了费城，图八中我们可以看到它和城市显得相得益彰。在满足条件的69个建筑中（比费城少9个）有19座超过500英尺的摩天大楼，相比而言，费城只有11座。最令人称道的是美国银行广场，高921英尺，到了晚上绿色的氩灯照射出明亮的灯光，文艺复兴大楼有886英尺高，美国联信银行大厦高787英尺，摩根大通大厦高739英尺，喷泉广场高720英尺。其他值得多看一眼的摩天大楼有特拉梅尔乌鸦中心高686英尺，太平大街1700号高655英尺，感恩节塔高645英尺。且不论榜单上这些建筑的位置，在美国，达拉斯有着更耀眼的天际线。

nta, GA

7.亚特兰大，佐治亚

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.

尽管亚特兰大的天际线分散在I-75路，让人很难一下子全部看全。尽管是这样，亚特兰大还是轻松超越了达拉斯。它模仿纽约（尽管规模比纽约小）修建多个摩天大楼在商业区以及其毗邻区域。目前85个达到标准的建筑中，有17个是高于500英尺。这里拥有南部最高的建筑以及最令人称道的美国银行广场，高1023英尺。太阳信托广场和市中心的第一大西洋中心是两个最令人流连忘返的地方，分别高871英尺和820英尺。其他著名的摩天大楼有桃树大厦191号高770英尺，圆柱形的威斯汀桃树广场酒店，这是世界上最高的酒店有723英尺高。还有乔治太平洋大厦，697英尺高。亚特兰大的确是南方的纽约。

Angeles, CA

6.洛杉矶，加利福尼亚

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.

洛杉矶市中心密集的摩天大楼群构成了美国最优美的天际线之一。然而，它仍然只排到了第6位。不过，它还是凭借数量和高度的结合胜过了上面几座城市。它只有79座建筑达到评价标准（比亚特兰大少5座），但其中22座的高度都超过了500英尺，更令人叹为观止的是，有8座都高过了700英尺。它引以为豪的还有1018英尺高的联邦银行大厦，密西西比河西岸最高的建筑。第二高的建筑怡安中心有858英尺高，超过700英尺的建筑还有加利福尼亚广场二期（750英尺）、煤气公司大厦（749英尺）、美国银行广场（735英尺）、777大厦（725英尺）、富国银行大厦（723英尺）以及三和银行广场。这些高楼大厦在西海岸划出的天际线足以使任何观众心生敬畏。
