3. Eiffel Tower[qh]
埃菲爾鐵塔[qh]
More than any other landmark, the Eiffel Tower has come to represent an elegant and contemporary Paris. The iron tower, which was built for the 1889 World Exposition by Gustave Eiffel, was wildly unpopular with Parisians when it was unveiled, and was nearly torn down. It has since attracted over 220 million visitors, and it would be hard to imagine Paris now without it. The tower crowns the Paris night sky with its festive light, and glitters up a storm every hour. Cliché? Maybe. But essential.[qh]
埃菲爾鐵塔展現的是現代巴黎的優(yōu)雅。鐵塔是1889年古斯塔夫·埃菲爾為了世博會而建，鐵塔揭幕之后在巴黎人中非常不受歡迎，甚至一度被要求拆除。迄今為止，已經接納2億2000萬游客了，很難想像現在的巴黎沒有鐵塔的樣子。鐵塔每晚屹立于巴黎夜空之下，燈光閃爍，每小時鐵塔全身閃燈十分鐘。或許有點俗套，但是不可缺少。[qh]
