London Eye, London, England
伦敦眼位于泰晤士河畔
The London Eye is located on the banks of the Thames,
就在大本钟和国会大厦的对面
just across from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
伦敦眼建成于2000年巨大的摩天轮就建在泰晤士河的旁边
Completed in 2000, this huge ferris wheel was built on its side,
把它安置到位可费了不少力
and painstakingly lifted into place.
它的高度超过400英尺 是伦敦目前第四高建筑
At more than 400 feet high, it’s now the fourth-tallest structure in London.
摩天轮旋转一圈需要30分钟
It takes 30 minutes to complete one revolution.
它共有32个座舱 每个能容纳25人且都装有空调 很舒适
Each of the 32 gondolas holds around 25 passengers in air-conditioned comfort.
也可以预订座舱用于私人用途 甚至举行婚礼
It’s also possible to book a gondola for a private function, or even a wedding.
在伦敦眼顶端 方圆25英里范围内的城市和村庄的景色你都能一览无余
From the top, you’ll see sweeping views across the city and countryside, up to 25 miles away.
伦敦眼从上午十点开放到晚上
The Eye is open from 10am and operates well into the evening.
从旁边售票处可以买到票
