你知道全世界標(biāo)志性的圣誕樹(shù)都在哪嗎
Rockefeller Center, New York, New York, United States
美國(guó)紐約洛克菲勒中心
Cheapflights.com begins its review of iconic Christmas Trees and their roots in the Big Apple. There’s nothing quite like the magic of New York City during the holidays. This season, the famous Rockefeller Center is “spruced” up by an 25m, 13-ton tree, which was grown in Danville, Penn. The Sigafoos family, who live on a farm 250km from New York, had the honor of donating the Norway Spruce. After taking the journey to the Big Apple, the 90-year-old tree was brightened with 45,000 LED lights and topped with a 3m wide Swarovski star during the 82nd annual ceremony. In true Christmas Spirit, after the tree has been taken down in January, its wood will be used to build homes for Habitat for Humanity.
Cheapflights.com在大蘋(píng)果城(紐約別名)開(kāi)始了它的標(biāo)志性圣誕樹(shù)回顧和根源之旅。在節(jié)假日，沒(méi)有哪里像紐約市那樣充滿魔法的感覺(jué)。在這個(gè)季節(jié)，高25米，重1噸，生長(zhǎng)于賓夕法尼亞丹維爾的這棵大樹(shù)裝點(diǎn)了著名的洛克菲勒中心。住在紐約250公里外一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)里的辛格夫一家，有幸捐贈(zèng)了這顆挪威云杉。在82屆的年度慶典上，這顆被運(yùn)到紐約的90歲老樹(shù)被裝點(diǎn)上了4萬(wàn)5000盞LED照明燈，在頂端配有一顆3米寬的施華洛世奇星星。為了貫徹真正的圣誕精神，在這棵樹(shù)在1月被推倒后，它的木頭會(huì)用于為仁愛(ài)之家建造房屋。
Trafalgar Square, London, England
英國(guó)倫敦特拉法加廣場(chǎng)
London’s famous Christmas tree is both festive and friendly. Since 1947, Oslo, Norway’s capital city, has gifted London with a Christmas fir tree to thank the city for its help during World War II. This year is no different, as the Norwegian fir in the center of Trafalgar Square was grown in Lilomarka, a town northeast of Oslo. The Mayor of Oslo, Mayor of Westminster and Norwegian Ambassador all joined together on December 4 to light the symbolic tree. Every day until December 23, local choirs will sing carols beneath the tree to add to the Christmas cheer.
倫敦著名的圣誕樹(shù)既有節(jié)日氣氛又顯得親切友好。自從1947年挪威首都奧斯陸為了感謝英國(guó)在二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的援助，他們把一棵圣誕冷杉作為禮物送給了倫敦。這年也不例外，特拉法加廣場(chǎng)中心的這棵挪威冷杉生長(zhǎng)在奧斯陸東北方向一個(gè)叫Lilomarka的小鎮(zhèn)，威斯敏斯特市長(zhǎng)和挪威大使都參與了12月4日這棵標(biāo)志性圣誕樹(shù)的點(diǎn)燈儀式。直到12月23日的每一天，當(dāng)?shù)氐某?shī)班會(huì)在圣誕樹(shù)下唱頌歌，從而增加圣誕節(jié)的歡樂(lè)氣氛。
Sydney, Australia
澳大利亞悉尼
Although residents of Sydney won’t be getting a white Christmas, they will get to enjoy a one-of-a-kind holiday tree. Outside Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall stands the tallest Lego tree in the Southern Hemisphere. The 10m tree was designed and built by Australian Lego Certified Professional Ryan McNaught, along with a few of Santa’s helpers. It took 1,200 hours and half a million bricks to finalize the creation, which features basketball-sized ornaments and a colossal star. In true Aussie style, a Lego Santa with a life-size surfboard even stands in front of the tree.
雖然悉尼居民的圣誕節(jié)不是白色的，他們還是可以擁有一棵獨(dú)一無(wú)二的圣誕樹(shù)。悉尼外圍的皮特街購(gòu)物中心，南半球最高的樂(lè)高樹(shù)就屹立在那。這棵10米的大樹(shù)由澳洲樂(lè)高認(rèn)證的專家賴安·麥克諾特，和幾名圣誕老人幫手設(shè)計(jì)并建造。這棵大樹(shù)花了1200個(gè)小時(shí)和50萬(wàn)塊積木完成，裝點(diǎn)上籃球大小的裝飾品和巨大的星星。一個(gè)帶著1:1大小沖浪板的樂(lè)高圣誕老人甚至還站在圣誕樹(shù)下，讓它擁有了真正的澳洲Style。
Daley Plaza, Chicago, Illinois, United States
美國(guó)伊利諾斯州，芝加哥戴利廣場(chǎng)
There’s no place like home for the holidays, which is why the city of Chicago ensures the Christmas tree lighting up Daley Plaza is always grown within 160km of its famed Loop. This year’s tree hails from Elgin, Ill. and is donated by the Atkinson family, who finally landed the honor after four years of persistence. For the past three years, the tree that stood in their front yard was selected as runner-up in the contest, but the 17m Colorado blue spruce finally made its big debut at the November 25 tree lighting ceremony headlined by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. Chicago residents and visitors of the city can rock around the Christmas tree through January.
沒(méi)有哪比家里更適合過(guò)節(jié)了，這就是為什么芝加哥城確保了點(diǎn)亮戴利廣場(chǎng)的圣誕樹(shù)有160公里的集市鏈。今年這棵樹(shù)來(lái)自伊爾的埃爾金，并由阿特金森一家捐贈(zèng)，他們終于在四年的堅(jiān)持下贏得了這項(xiàng)殊榮。在過(guò)去的三年里，站在他們前院的圣誕樹(shù)被選為圣誕樹(shù)比賽里的亞軍，但是17米的北美云杉終于在11月25日的圣誕樹(shù)點(diǎn)燈儀式里，由扭曲姐妹組合的迪·施奈德揭幕登臺(tái)了。芝加哥的居民和游客都可以在一月在圣誕樹(shù)下盡情搖擺。
