点评:Without a shadow of a doubt the most famous building in Liverpool is The Royal Liver Building.
Constructed between 1908-1911 and built from designs from architect Walter Aubrey Thomas ,its consided to be the first skyscraper in the United Kingdom and was at one time one of the tallest buildings in Europe and was one of the first buildings in the world to be constructed from reinforced concrete, the building is topped by the two beautiful mythical Liver birds which are called Bertie & Bella and stand 18 feet high who look out over the city ,designed by Carl Bernard Bartels ,they have become the emblem of the city ,the clocks are amazing to view aswell, bigger than the clock faces on Big Ben in London, its such a beautiful building, most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Pier Head but best views in my opinions are from Strand Street.
翻译:毫无疑问,利物浦最著名的建筑是皇家利物浦大厦。
这座大厦建于1908年至1911年间,由建筑师沃尔特·奥布里·托马斯设计,被认为是英国第一座摩天大楼,一度是欧洲最高的建筑之一,也是世界上最早采用钢筋混凝土建造的建筑之一。大厦顶部矗立着两只美丽的利物浦神鸟——伯蒂和贝拉,它们高达18英尺,俯瞰着整座城市。这两只神鸟由卡尔·伯纳德·巴特尔斯设计,如今已成为利物浦的象征。大厦的钟面也令人叹为观止,比伦敦大本钟的钟面还要大。这是一座非常美丽的建筑,如果您在附近,绝对值得一看。大厦位于码头区,很容易找到,但我个人认为,从斯特兰德街欣赏大厦的最佳视角是在那里。
