  景点篇之比萨斜塔 The Tower of Pisa

  推荐理由:

  The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply The Tower of Pisa is the campanile, or free-standing bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. The tower was finished in 1360, still stubbornly tilting -- and all the more famous for it. Galileo is said to have conducted his revolutionary experiments with falling objects from the off-kilter belfry. Mark Twain once called the Leaning Tower of Pisa "the strangest structure the world has any knowledge of."

  比萨斜塔是意大利比萨城大教堂的独立式钟楼。斜塔于1360年完工,竣工时塔身依旧倾斜,并因此而闻名。伽利略曾在这个失去平衡的倾斜的钟楼上做过具有划时代意义的自由落体实验。马克-吐温曾将比萨斜塔称为"呈现于世人面前最奇特的建筑结构。"

  精选词汇: campanile 钟楼

  stubbornly 顽固的,顽强的

  tilting 倾斜,使倾斜

  off-kilter 失准的

  belfry 钟楼
