、自由女神


Statue of Liberty

Liberty Enlightening the World,
known more commonly as the Statue
of Liberty, is a statue given to the
United States by France in 1885,
standing at Liberty Island in the
mouth of the Hudson River in New
York Harbor as a welcome to all
visitors, immigrants, and returning
Americans. The copper statue,
dedicated on October 28, 1886,
commemorates the centennial of the
United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The
sculptor was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the
Eiffel Tower, engineered the internal structure. Eugè
ne Viollet-le-Duc was
responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of
the Repoussé
technique. The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable
icons of the U.S. worldwide, and, in a more general sense, represents liberty
and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the Jet
age, often the first glimpse of the United States for millions of immigrants after
ocean voyages from Europe. It's said that il Sancarlone or the Colossus of
Rhodes inspired it.

、白宫

Formerly known as the Executive Mansion (1810
–
1902) the official office and
residence of the president of the United States at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
N.W. in Washington, D.C. The White House and its landscaped grounds
occupy 18 acres (7.2
hectares). Since the
administration of
George Washington
(1789
–
97), who
occupied presidential
residences in New
York and
Philadelphia, every
American president
has resided at the
White House.
Originally called the
“President's Palace” on early maps, the building was
officially named the
Executive Mansion in 1810 in order to avoid connotations of royalty. Although
the name “White House” was commonly used from about the same time
(because the mansion's white- gray sandstone contrasted strikingly with the red
brick of nearby buildings), it did not become the official name of the building
until 1902, when it was adopted by President Theodore Roosevelt (1901
–
09).
The White House is the oldest federal building in the nation's capital.
