　　纽约，4月21日（合众国际社UPI）——47秒乘电梯到达纽约世界贸易中心一号大厦的顶层，电梯窗外的全景录像仿佛记录了这座城市的历史变迁。

　　五月底该视频将会在本塔的102层通往天文台的路上向公众开放展示。届时将有延时全景投射四面墙，展示视频中自1500年代到现在的成立历史。

　　世界贸易中心二号大厦位于遭受911恐怖袭击的原双子大厦处，在视频的结束之时浮现。

　　“这个活动无疑是历史的重要组成部分，”Legends Hospitality的董事长及首席执行官David Checketts对纽约时代说道，“谁也不能忽视它。该大厦像以往双子大厦一样存在或消失，都是对双子大厦曾是纽约地标这一事实的尊重描述。”

　　该电梯上升速度最高为23英里每小时。

　　One World Trade Center elevator shows New York's history

　　NEW YORK, April 21 (UPI) -- The 47-second elevator ride to the top of New York's One World Trade Center features panoramic time-lapse video simulating the city's history.

　　The video, which will be shown to visitors on their way to the tower's 102nd floor observatory when it opens to the public in late May, features a time-lapse panoramic view projected on all four walls showing the city being built up from the 1500s until the present day.

　　The 2 World Trade Center tower, one of the original twin towers brought down by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, makes a brief cameo toward the end of the film before disappearing.

　　"The event is certainly a key part of history," David Checketts, chairman and chief executive of management company Legends Hospitality, told The New York Times. "We did not think you could ignore it. Having it appear in the year it did and disappear in the year it did was the respectful way of addressing the fact that it was part of the landscape."

　　The elevator ascends at a top speed of about 23 mph.
