To visit the Eiffel Tower we’ll be heading over to Paris, France.

It really didn’t have a purpose other then to impress,
建造铁塔最初的目的仅仅是为了
and prove that the engineering could work.
证明此工程可以完成
The structure was made of iron in criss crossed beams
建筑整体由交错的横梁构成
so that the wind could pass through it.
因此风可以从中穿过
Not everyone liked the tower at first,
最初不是每个人都喜欢这座塔
they thought it would ruin the beauty of paris.
他们认为这座塔毁了巴黎的美景
And in fact the plan was to tear it down
事实上他们还曾计划拆除这座塔
after only 20 years.
仅在埃菲尔铁塔建成20年后
Long story short,
长话短说
it’s still here.
如今塔仍旧伫立于此
And its hard to imagine paris without the Eiffel Tower.
现在很难想象巴黎没有埃菲尔铁塔的样子
Over the last 130 years

they’ve done their best to maintain as much of the original structure as possible.
维修者尽可能保留了埃菲尔铁塔的原结构
While keeping its safe for millions of visitors every year.

Let’s make sure we appreciate the enormous size of the Eiffel Tower.
让我们来了解埃菲尔铁塔的规模有多宏大
From up here the people below look like tiny ants.

Before the Eiffel Tower was built
在埃菲尔铁塔建造前
the tallest structure in the world was the Washington Monument at 169 meters.
世界上最高的建筑是169米的华盛顿纪念碑
The Eiffel Tower was almost twice as tall at 300 meters.
埃菲尔铁塔的高度是它的两倍左右 有300米高
It was the tallest structure for 40 years.
在它建成后的40年内 它一直是最高的建筑
Until the Chrysler building was finished in 1930.
直到1930年建成了克莱斯勒大楼
But once the antennae was built on top of the Eiffel Tower
但在塔顶建造了天线后
then it was once again taller then the Chrysler building.
埃菲尔铁塔又一次比克莱斯勒大楼高了
But by this point the Empire State building was the tallest.
但此时帝国大厦成为了最高的建筑
In recent decades there’s been a lot more competition to be the tallest.
近几十年来争做最高建筑的竞争更加激烈
Now modern sky scrapers are all designed with computers
现代的摩天大楼都是用电脑设计的
which makes the process much easier.
这使设计过程变得更简单
In the 1800s they didn’t have any of that,
十九世纪的设计师没有电脑
it was all designed on paper.
一切设计工作在纸上进行
Now that’s some serious skill.
现今这项技能依然重要
The tower has 3 floors,
埃菲尔铁塔有三层
all of which are open to the public.
所有楼层均对外开放
The first floor has 3 red buildings
第一层有三座红色建筑
which contains a theater, restaurant, shops
包括 戏剧院 餐厅 商店
and places to learn more about the Eiffel Tower.

Towards the center ,
在第一层的中间
there’s a glass floor around the edges that you can walk onto.
你可以踏上边缘的玻璃地板
I hope you’re not afraid of heights.
如果你不恐高的话
The second floor has two decks for sight seeing,

So how do you get to these 3 floors?
所以怎样能到达第三层呢？
The first and the second floors you can reach by elevator or stairs.

What’s interesting here is that
有趣的是
the angle of ascent gets steeper from the first to the second floor.
上升的坡度在一二层间越来越陡
So the passenger cabins must adjust for that.
所以乘客车厢会进行相应的调整
The machinery for the elevators is hidden underneath the base.
电梯的动力装置隐藏在地下
You can even take a tour and see this up close.
你甚至可以来这里 凑近瞧一下
Of course if you are looking for a little more of a workout,
当然 如果你想锻炼身体
you can use the stairs.

When the Eiffel Tower was originally opened,
埃菲尔铁塔刚开放时
one elevator would take you half way up,
乘客要先坐电梯到中间层

There are also stairs up to the third floor
走楼梯也可以到第三层
but these are usually off limits to the public.
但楼梯没有对公众开放
