During the early 20th century, the construction of tall buildings became very popular in big cities. Cities grew bigger as many people could live and work there. Tall buildings were also seen as a symbol of power and greatness. Major cities, especially in America, fought for the tallest buildings in the world. For four decades the Empire State Building in New York was the world’s highest structure. The 381-meter high landmark has 102 stories and was completed in 1932. The World Trade Centre, finished in 1973, became a symbol of the city's economic strength. The destruction of the World Trade Centre in the terrorist attacks of 2001 hit the heart of the city. Today the world’s tallest buildings no longer stand in America. Other countries, mainly in the growing regions of Asia, entered the prestigious race for the tallest structures in the world. Some experts say building a 1000-meter high structure is no problem with today’s technology; others think that we need lighter, stronger materials as well as faster elevators to make this possible.
Переведем на русский язык:
В начале 20 века строительство высоких зданий стало очень популярным в больших городах. Города становились все больше, так как там могли жить и работать много людей. Высокие здания также рассматривались как символ власти и величия. Крупные города, особенно в Америке, боролись за самые высокие здания в мире. В течение четырех десятилетий Эмпайр Стейт Билдинг в Нью-Йорке был самым высоким сооружением в мире. Этот 381-метровый величественный памятник имеет 102 этажа и был завершен в 1932 году. Всемирный торговый центр, который был построен в 1973 году, стал символом экономической силы города. Разрушение Всемирного торгового центра в результате террористических атак 2001 года ударило по сердцу города. Сегодня самые высокие здания в мире больше не находятся в Америке. Другие страны, в основном в быстроразвивающихся регионах Азии, присоединились к престижной гонке за самыми высокими сооружениями в мире. Некоторые эксперты считают, что построить здание высотой 1000 метров сегодня - нет проблемы с помощью современных технологий; другие считают, что нам нужны более легкие, прочные материалы, а также быстрые лифты, чтобы это стало возможным.
