谁知道这篇文章的完整部分?When you hear the word pyramid,you will probabl
When you hear the word pyramid,you will probably think of those in Egypt.But do you know there is a pyramid in Paris,France?The pyramid is known as the“Louvre Pyramid” (卢浮宫金字塔) since it is the main entrance (主要入口) to the famous Louvre Museum*.
In the 1980s,the French President invited I.M.Pei*,the Chinese-born American architect (建筑师) to design (设计) a new entrance to the Louvre Museum.When Pei first showed his pyramid design,it was a great shock to all.Most people thought Pei’s modern pyramid would destroy both the look of the museum and the the respect (尊敬) for ancient pyramids.
Since it was built in1989,most people have changed their views (观点) although some still think it is an ugly scar (伤疤) on Paris’ face.The Louvre Pyramid is 71 feet high,and around it are three smaller pyramids and seven triangular fountains.Different from the stone Egyptian pyramids,the pyramid is a large metal and glass one.It makes it more convenient to visit the museum.Now it has become a Paris landmark (地标).
* The Louvre Museum卢浮宫 位于法国巴黎,是始建于12世纪初的皇家宫殿.目前是世界著名的博物馆.
* I.M.Pei(Ieoh Ming Pei)贝聿铭(1917-) 美籍华人建筑师.设计了大量的划时代建筑,如肯尼迪图书馆、卢浮宫金字塔、香港中银大厦等.
