最浪漫的求婚(最浪漫的求婚地点我已经选好,就差发对象了……)

最浪漫的求婚
说到最浪漫的求婚,小编心里无法超越的经典,一直是05年—14年开播的经典美剧《老爸老妈罗曼史》(How I Met Your Mother)里, 花花公子Barney设计把好基友Robin骗到帝国大厦楼顶,在槲(hú)寄生树下求婚的场景。

Speaking of the most romantic proposal, one of my all-time favorite scenes was the one from How I Met Your Mother, a US TV series from 2005 to 2014, when playboy Barney tricked his best friend Robin to the top of Empire State Building, and proposed to her under the mistletoe. 

在纽约地标帝国大厦求婚,俯瞰整个璀璨都市,简直浪漫得不像话。相信跟小编一样追着这部剧度过大学寝室时光的小伙伴都会对这一幕印象深刻,暗搓搓地许下心愿,以后也想要一场在帝国大厦之上俯瞰都市的浪漫求婚。
Top of the famous New York landmark, looking down on the splendid city… If like me, you spent your college days binge-watching the show, no doubt you too would be impressed by this particular episode, and secretly wishing for a romantic surprise proposal from your special one. 
 

然而去一趟帝国大厦成本也是相当的高,签证+机票+住宿+酒店+为妈妈买的雅诗兰黛,最重要的,你还得有个对象。
 

其实,现在回头看,传说中的帝国大厦不过443米而已。在中国的摩天大楼(skyscraper)里,怕是还排不进前十。
But while the Empire State Building was once king, tallest in the world for nearly 40 years, today its 443-meter height means it barely makes the top 30. 

In fact, there’s no need to book a flight all the way to the United States for a sky-high, cloud-kissing experience. There are many much taller going up over China…
接下来,咱们一起细数下那些登顶风光不输帝国大厦的大楼,比起大老远飞一趟美国,可以说是经济又实惠的选择了。

(先马克一下,万一哪天有对象了呢。)
上海环球金融中心
Shanghai World Financial Center

第一个提名的是江湖并称“上海滩厨房三件套”之一的“陆家嘴开瓶器”——上海环球金融中心。
 
地处陆家嘴金融区,楼高492米,足以俯瞰整个上海滩,成人票价180元就可以登上100层。
Located in the financial district of Lujiazui, in Shanghai, the Shanghai World Financial Center is nicknamed “the Bottle Opener”. You would need a big bottle though. Rising to 492 meters in height, it has a bird’s eye view of the entire city, that’s 24 million people in one view!
香港环球贸易广场
International Commerce Center

以和“陆家嘴开瓶器”不相伯仲的490米傲人高度屹立于西九龙,香港环贸的100层也为游客准备了室内观景台来360度鸟瞰全岛,再往上还有香港丽兹卡尔顿,感受一下在半空中睡觉,美图分分钟刷爆朋友圈。
Standing at a towering 490 meters tall, the International Commerce Center in Hong Kong comes topped out with the “Sky 100” observation deck,on its 100th floor. Obviously.
成人门票价格大概在188港币左右,看一眼不夜城全景也就值回票价了。
广州东塔
Guangzhou East Tower 

如果490米还不够刺激,那么不如感受一下530米的广州东塔(广州周大福金融中心)。比起530米处的风景,东塔最让人跃跃欲试的是配套的28台高速电梯,最快速度达到每秒21米,相当于眨一下眼睛跳出10个姚明,可以说是感受失重最经济实惠的方式了。
It’s not just its 530 meters height that makes the Guangzhou East Tower famous – but its elevators. Among the fastest in the world, each can zip at up to 21 meters per second! A budget way to experience what it is like to be in a zero-gravity environment. 

107层的观景台位于五星级酒店里,面朝珠江看日出日落,没有比这里更适合定终身的地方,万事俱备就差国家发对象了。
 
深圳平安金融中心
Pingan International Financial Center

600米!600米!没错你没看错,在这座位于深圳福田CBD的大楼面前,连“开瓶器”也只能尊称一声“大佬”,它是真正当之无愧的摩天大楼。
The Pingan International Financial Center is a must-see if you ever visit Shenzhen – and at 600 meters tall, it’s hard to miss! Apart from a British Museum on the top floor, the tower also has a thrilling glass floor viewing deck to take your breath away. Just don’t look down!
平安金融中心也是对游客开放的,上面不仅有一个“云端的大英博物馆”,还有世界最高玻璃悬空观景台,门票约180元,少喝几杯一点点,一脚踏在云端的刺激你值得拥有。
 
广州塔
Canton Tower

下面这位同样来自广东的优秀选手广州塔,身高不够帽子来凑,加上脑袋上的尖尖,身高一举超过平安金融中心,达到足足610米。
 
广州塔也是可玩性相当高的地标,除了433米处的白云星光观光台(150元),在460米的尖尖下居然还放了一个摩天轮(298元)……
The outstanding Canton Tower in Guangzhou is just a top hat taller than Pingan at 610 meters. Prepare to spend money! The White Cloud Starlight sightseeing tables sit at 433 meters (150 yuan), while on the top deck at 460 meters there is a ferris wheel (298 yuan). A ferris wheel!
 
 
看到这里我猜北方和西南的朋友们已经要忍不住要掩面哭泣了……
当然也不是所有高楼都在秦岭淮河以南,大北方和西南也有很多观景大楼,只不过很多……还在建设中。
Of course, not all tall buildings are south of the Qin Mountains-Huai River Line. The Great North and Southwest also have a lot of skyscrapers, you just might have to wait for a few of them. Coming soon to a city near you…
比如:
鼎鼎大名的北京第一高楼中国尊(528米)
Beijing’s tallest building, the China Zun (528 meters)

天津117大厦(597米)
The China 117 Tower, in Tianjin (597 m)
 

长得颇为现代,结构类似扭扭糖的成都绿地中心(468米)
And the Chengdu Greenland Tower. At 468 meters it will be Southwest China’s tallest building, complete with a modern structure that resembles twisted, twisted sugar.
 

顺便一提,下图是扭扭糖(twizzlers)。

这些大楼虽然长得各有千秋,但是他们除了门票都有点小贵以外还有一个共同点——都是由中国建筑集团有限公司(China State Construction Engineering Corporation)承建完成的。
事实上,全国各省市300米以上的超高层地标性建筑,有90%由中建集团承建;全球超过500米以上超高层建筑,50%由中建集团承包施工。
Apart from their soaring heights, many of China’s towers have another thing in common: around 90 percent of the country’s buildings over 300 meterstall were made by China State Construction Engineering Corporation. While 50 percent of the supertall towers over 500 meterstall were made by CSCEC.
也就是说,当你站在外国的高楼观光时,有一半的概率你站在中国建筑人的劳动成果上,想想也是一件相当得意的事情呢。
如果大家对建筑有兴趣,想看一看改革开放40年来中国建筑的变化,可不要错过目前正在国家博物馆举办的“伟大的变革—庆祝改革开放40周年大型展览”哦!
