How it all began

Ferris wheels have always been popular fairground attractions, but over the years interest had waned, until the London Eye was introced for the new millennium.

Now Manchester, York and Birmingham have their own big wheels and according to Graeme Cross, the Manchester Wheel Manager, two more cities, will shortly get their own.

Graeme says that the wheel is popular because it is suitable for everyone including families and young people who want to see the city from a different view point.

London Eye

The London Eye has become one of the city』s landmarks and a great tourist attraction. The creator of this design, Julia Barfield, says on the London Eye website: 『The ingredients of the wheel are simple - a universal desire to see the earth and cities from a great height and the natural human fascination with scale, daring and beauty.』

Hilary from Manchester, who visited the London Eye with her teenage daughter, says: 』The ride is so slow that you hardly feel that you are moving, definitely not one for the adrenaline thrill seekers. I on the other hand thought it was perfect. I felt safe in my little glass bubble, it was not claustrophobic and there were some spectacular panoramic views.』

Manchester Wheel

Luke, 21, an Australian tourist who visited both the London Eye and the Manchester Wheel, says: 』We are here for the day and we thought that this would be a cheap way to see the city from above. Manchester Wheel is quicker and smaller, London Eye took for ever!』

Katy, 20, an Australian tourist also found the Manchester Wheel more fun, but a bit scary when it stopped mid air. Both of them agreed that this is a fun and cheap way to see a city.

Heather, 17, and Jade, 19, from Middleton, who were on designers』 clothes shopping trip to Manchester, said: 『It is nice to see Manchester from that high, you see more things than from the ground.』

Big wheels are now changing the skylines of many UK cities. Maybe they』ll be coming to a city near you.

摩天輪熱始於為何

一直以來，費里斯摩天輪（Ferris wheels）都是游樂園吸引遊客的重要設施，但近年來，其帶給人們的樂趣已大大減弱，直到為迎接千禧年而建倫敦眼觀景摩天輪（London Eye）亮相。

目前，曼徹斯特（Manchester）、約克（York）和伯明翰（Birmingham）都修建了摩天輪， 而且據曼徹斯特摩天輪經理格雷米.克勞斯（Graeme Cross）稱，另外還有兩個城市也將在短時間內建成摩天輪。

格雷米認為摩天輪之所以廣受青睞，是因為它適合所有人群，包括家庭和年輕人，使他們從與眾不同的視角來一探城市的真容。

倫敦眼

倫敦眼觀景摩天輪已成為倫敦的一大標志性建築，吸引了眾多的遊客，這一設計的創作者朱莉婭.巴菲爾德（Julia Barfield）在「倫敦眼」的網站上說:：「摩天輪的創意非常簡單 – 來自從高空俯瞰大地和城市的大眾心願，以及人們與生俱來的對規模、勇敢和美景的迷戀。」

來自曼徹斯特的希拉里（Hilary），在和她十幾歲的女兒一同乘坐了倫敦眼之後說到：「轉動速度非常緩慢，以至於讓你覺察不到你在移動，絕對不適合那些想要尋求極度刺激的人。從另一方面，我也認為它很完美。在小小的玻璃艙中，我感到非常安全，絲毫沒有幽閉恐怖的感覺，同時還能欣賞到扣人心弦的城市全景。」

曼徹斯特摩天輪

盧克（Luke），21歲，是一名澳大利亞遊客，在體驗過倫敦眼和曼徹斯特摩天輪之後，他評論到：「我們來到這里，就是為了有朝一日能夠乘坐摩天輪，以這種價格低廉的方式俯瞰城市。 相對而言，曼徹斯特摩天輪比較小且速度更快，而倫敦眼同樣是我們不變的選擇！」

凱蒂（Katy），20歲，也是一名澳大利亞遊客，她同樣認為曼徹斯特摩天輪更加有趣，但靜止在半空中時有點讓人害怕。他們都同意這是一種物美價廉、極富樂趣的觀覽城市的方式。

希瑟（Heather）和傑德（Jade），兩人分別為17歲和19歲，來自米德爾敦（Middleton），他們為采購設計師服裝來到曼徹斯特，他們談到：「從那樣的高度俯瞰曼徹斯特的感覺非常棒，你可以飽覽更多在地面難以窮盡的景色。」

如今，各處興起的摩天輪正在改變英國很多城市的空中輪廓線。 也許很快，在您附近的城市，一座摩天輪也將拔地而起。

Ⅳ 急求「倫敦眼」的英文介紹（要有中文的）

The London Eye, located on the banks of the River Thames in London, England, is the world's first and most spectacular viewing wheel in 2005. It is one of London's landmarks and famous tourist spots.

倫敦眼（The London Eye），坐落在英國倫敦泰晤士河畔，是世界上首座、同時截至2005年最大的觀景摩天輪，為倫敦的地標及出名旅遊觀光點之一。

The London Eye opened at the end of 1999, when the sponsor was British Airways and was also known as the Millennium Wheel, with a total height of 135 meters (443 feet).

倫敦眼於1999年年底開幕，當時贊助商還是英國航空公司因此又稱千禧之輪，總高度135米（443英尺）。

There are 32 passenger cabins in the London Eye (ranging from No. 1 to 33. Because of religious taboos, there is no No. 13). Because of the tempered glass inside and outside the cabin, there is an air conditioning system. Each cabin can carry about 25 passengers, and the speed of rotation is about 0.26 meters per second, which means it takes 30 minutes.

倫敦眼共有32個乘坐艙（由序號1排列到33。因為宗教忌諱，沒有13號），因艙內外用鋼化玻璃打造，所以設有空調系統。每個乘坐艙可載客約25名，回轉速度約為每秒0.26米，即一圈需時30分鍾。

The "London Eye" was built to celebrate the new millennium and is therefore also known as the "Millennium Ferris Wheel." Passengers can take the "London Eye" to the upper half and take a bird's eye view of London. The "London Eye" turned into a huge blue halo at night, greatly adding to the Thames' dreamy temperament.

「倫敦眼」為慶祝新千年而建造，因此又稱"千禧摩天輪"。乘客可以乘坐"倫敦眼"升上半空，鳥瞰倫敦。「倫敦眼」在夜間則化成了一個巨大的藍色光環，大大增添了泰晤士河的夢幻氣質。

The London Eye also lights up for the 2015 British elections. The red light represents the British Labor Party, the blue represents the Conservative Party, the purple represents the British Independence Party, and the yellow represents the Liberal Democrats.

倫敦眼還為2015英國大選亮燈，紅燈代表英國工黨，藍色代表保守黨，紫色代表英國獨立黨，黃色代表自由民主黨。
