圣路易斯的大拱门，密苏里州

今天，我们庆祝圣路易斯市密苏里州拱门国家公园成立周年纪念日，该公园于2018 年2月22日正式设立，坐落在风景如画的密西西比河沿岸，旨在纪念托马斯·杰斐逊提出的“大陆国家”构想。公园的核心是圣路易斯拱门，这座令人惊叹的630英尺高的建筑已成为圣路易斯的终极象征。拱门采用不锈钢建造，是世界上最高的拱门，也是密苏里州最高的可进入建筑。芬兰裔美国建筑师埃罗·沙里宁于1947年构思出这一设计，并在1965年10月28日正式落成，实现了他的愿景。这座拱门的未来主义设计长期以来被视为汽车时代的象征，代表着现代都市景观与技术进步带来的未来希望。

Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri

Today we are celebrating the anniversary of Gateway National Park, which was established on February 22, 2018, in St. Louis, Missouri. The park, which lies along a picturesque stretch of the Mississippi River, commemorates Thomas Jefferson’s idea of a continental nation. At its heart stands the Gateway Arch, a breathtaking 630-foot-tall structure that has become the ultimate symbol of St. Louis. Constructed of stainless steel, it holds the distinction of being the world's tallest arch and Missouri's tallest accessible structure. Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen dreamed up the design back in 1947, and by October 28, 1965, his vision had been brought to life. The arch's futuristic design has long been viewed as a symbol of the automobile era, representing the modern, urban landscape, and the promise of a technologically advanced future.
