美国 标志性建筑 介绍
1.纽约中央火车站（Grand Central Terminal）
纽约中央火车站位于美国曼哈顿中心，始建于 1903年，1913年2月2日正式启用。纽约中央火车 站是由美国铁路之王范德比尔特家族建造，是纽 约著名的地标性建筑，也是一座公共艺术馆。它 是世界上最大，美国最繁忙的火车站，同时它还 是纽约铁路与地铁的交通中枢。
2.Mount Rushmore拉什莫尔山
Mount Rushmore is a memorial to the birth， growth， preservation and development of the United States of America. Gutzon Borglum sculpted busts of Presidents George Washington， Thomas Jefferson， Theodore Roosevelt， and Abraham Lincoln high in the Black Hills to represent the first 150 years of American history. The primary resource at Mount Rushmore is the granite sculpture itself， but also of interest is the Sculptor's Studio built under the direction of Sculptor Gutzon Borglum in 1939. Unique plaster models and tools related to the sculpting process are displayed in the studio.
7. the Lincoln Memorial
the Lincoln memorial is a fitting tribute to the man who held the country together during the civil war and thereby put an end to slavery in the us. a craggy likeness of abraham lincoln sits firmly grasping the arms of his throne-like chair， apparently deep in thought， while inscriptions of lincoln's two most celebrated speeches the gettysburg address and the second inaugural address are carved on north and south walls.
5.战争墙/越南阵亡将士纪念碑(the Vietnam Veterans Memorial)
6.Golden Gate Bridge
The orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge-probably the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed bridge in the world-are visible from almost every point of elevation in San Francisco. The only cleft in Northern California's 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52 months to design and build, and was opened in 1937. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the world's longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, rendering the hitherto essential ferry crossing redundant, and was designed to withstand winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft.

4. The Liberty Statue
The statue, which depicts Liberty throwing off her shackles and holding a beacon to light the world, was the creation of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who crafted it a hundred years after the American Revolution in recognition of solidarity between the French and American people (though it's fair to add that Bartholdi originally intended the statue for Alexandria in Egypt). Bartholdi built Liberty in Paris between 1874 and 1884, starting with a terracotta model and enlarging it through four successive versions to its present size, a construction of thin copper sheets bolted together and supported by an iron framework designed by Gustave Eiffel. The arm carrying the torch was exhibited in Madison Square Park for seven years, but the whole statue wasn't officially accepted on behalf of the American people until 1884, after which it was taken apart, crated up and shipped to New York.
3. The White House
For almost two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people. Its history, and the history of the nation's capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square...on the river Potomac." President Washington, together with city planner Pierre L'Enfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "President's House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design.
