3. Eiffel Tower[qh]
埃菲尔铁塔[qh]
More than any other landmark, the Eiffel Tower has come to represent an elegant and contemporary Paris. The iron tower, which was built for the 1889 World Exposition by Gustave Eiffel, was wildly unpopular with Parisians when it was unveiled, and was nearly torn down. It has since attracted over 220 million visitors, and it would be hard to imagine Paris now without it. The tower crowns the Paris night sky with its festive light, and glitters up a storm every hour. Cliché? Maybe. But essential.[qh]
埃菲尔铁塔展现的是现代巴黎的优雅。铁塔是1889年古斯塔夫·埃菲尔为了世博会而建，铁塔揭幕之后在巴黎人中非常不受欢迎，甚至一度被要求拆除。迄今为止，已经接纳2亿2000万游客了，很难想像现在的巴黎没有铁塔的样子。铁塔每晚屹立于巴黎夜空之下，灯光闪烁，每小时铁塔全身闪灯十分钟。或许有点俗套，但是不可缺少。[qh]
