Lesson 17
The longest suspension bridge in the world
世界上最长的吊桥

Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour
in
1524
and
named
it
Angouleme.
He
described

it
as
'a
very
agreeable

situation
located
within
two small hills in the midst of which
flowed
a great river.' Though Verrazano
is

considered

to
be
a
great
explorer,
his
name
will
probably

remain
immortal

the
world

him.
The Verrazano Bridge, which was
designed
by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to
Staten Island. It has a
span
of 4,260 feet. The bridge is so long that the
shape
of
the
earth

Two

that if the bridge were

cars, it would still only be carrying
a third of its total
capacity
. However, size
and strength are not the only important
things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and
elegant
,
fulfilling
its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as
possible'.

他对该港作了这样的描述：“ 地理位置十分适宜，位于两座小山的中间，一条大河从中间流
过”。虽然维拉萨诺绝对算不上一个伟大的 探险家，但他的名字将流芳百世，因为
