關于埃菲爾鐵塔的史實 本文檔格式為 WORD,感謝你的閱讀。 You may recognize it in pictures， or know that it is in Paris， but how much do you really know about the Eiffel Tower？ See how many of these facts you already knew. 你也許能從照片中認出埃菲爾鐵塔，或者知道它在巴黎，但 你對它真正的了解有多少呢？現在就來看看以下這些史實你究竟知道多少吧。 1The Eiffel Tower was built as the entrance arch拱門 to the 1889 Worlds Fair. It was originally intended to stand for 20 years and then be taken down. 埃菲爾鐵塔最初被用作 1889 年世界博覽會的入口拱門，原定年限只有 20 年，然后就要拆除。 2In 1889， Le Figaro 注 set up a printing press印刷機 on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. A visitor could purchase購買 his daily newspaper and， for an additional fee費用 ， have the paper certified證明 that he had climbed the Eiffel Tower. 1889 年，費加羅報在埃菲爾鐵塔一樓擺放了 一臺印刷機。游客可以購買當天的日報，如果另外支付一筆費用，還可以讓報紙刊出證明，證明他已經爬過埃菲爾鐵塔。 3The Count of Lambert successfully flew around the Eiffel Tower in 1909. While the feat壯舉 marked a milestone in aviation航空 history， the true benefit was that the aerodynamics空氣動力學 lab on the first floor was able to test and observe how the wings functioned運行 during flight. 1909 年，蘭伯特伯爵成功環繞埃菲爾鐵塔飛行。這一壯舉是航空史上的一座里程碑，而此次飛行的真正好處在于，位于埃菲爾鐵塔一樓的空氣動力學實驗室能夠觀測機翼在飛行過程中是如何運作的。 4 A man named Forestier was the first to set the record for running up the tower the fastest. He did it in a mere three minutes and twelve seconds. 第一個創下最快跑上埃菲爾鐵塔紀錄的人名叫福雷斯蒂爾，用時僅為 3 分 12 秒。 5 Father Theodor Wulf observed radiant energy輻射能 from the top of the Tower. As a result of his experiments， he discovered cosmic rays宇宙射線 . Since Wulf， the Eiffel Tower has played host to many scientific inquiries（知識等的）探究 . 西奧多 沃爾夫神父從埃菲爾鐵塔頂部觀察到輻射能量，并從實驗結果中發現了宇宙射線。從沃爾夫開始，埃菲爾鐵塔已經成為許多科學探究的場所。 6 In 2009， the Eiffel Tower was named the third most popular place to commit suicide自殺 in Europe. In a 2012 newspaper article following a suicide， Tower officials declined拒絕 to comment評論 on the number of suicides that have taken place， stating instead， “it is always too many.” 2009 年，埃菲爾鐵塔被評為歐洲最受歡迎的自殺地點第三位。 2012 年，一篇報紙文章報道了在埃菲爾鐵塔 發生的一宗自殺事件，而埃菲爾鐵塔的官員拒絕對此地已經發生的自殺事件的數量進行評論，只是說： “ （自殺）永遠都太多。 ” 7 When the Germans entered Paris during World War II， the cables for the lift were cut， thus forcing Hitler to climb the Tower if he wanted to go to the top. 第二次世界大戰期間，德軍進入巴黎，埃菲爾鐵塔電梯的電纜被切斷 。如果希特勒想登上塔頂的話，就不得不用腳去爬鐵塔了。 當埃菲爾鐵塔設計方案贏得設計比賽之后，古斯塔夫 埃菲爾已經得知這個建筑可能是臨時的， 20 年后會被拆卸。然而他不希望看到自己的得意之作就這樣被拆掉，所以他打算讓鐵塔成為科學界不可或缺的工具，以此保住鐵塔。 鐵塔向公眾開放后沒多久，埃菲爾就在第三層安裝了一個氣象學實驗室。他邀請科學家到實驗室進行重力、電力學等研究。然而，保住鐵塔的不是它的實驗室，而是它過人的高度。 1910 年，由于埃菲爾鐵塔在無線電傳輸方面的重要性， 巴黎市決定不拆卸這個建筑。第一次世界大戰期
