矗立在纽约市中心高381米（到塔顶的高度为443米）、共102层的帝国大厦是纽约的两大标志性建筑物之一。大厦位于曼哈顿第五大道350号，夹在34大街与33大街之间，建于1931年，名字来源于纽约州的别称The Empire State（帝国之州）。这座知名的大楼层在多部影片中出现过，获得奥斯卡最佳视觉效果奖的《金刚》（King Kong）和多项大奖提名的《西雅图夜未眠》（Sleepless in Seattle）都在这里取景，帝国大厦的一楼，展示了许多曾经在此地拍过电影的明星照片，包括Cary Grant、Christopher Reeve、Harrison Ford、Celine Dion等；大厦顶部的泛光灯的颜色会因时间或重大事件而改变，911事件后就亮了3个月的蓝色灯，以示哀悼；每到新年的时候，大厦就会亮起红黄亮两色的彩灯，象征喜庆与欢乐。

帝国大厦里面的墙壁装饰很有特色，多为来自意大利、法国、比利时、德国的不同颜色的大理石，一楼大厅更是各种艺术品的殿堂。由于其显赫的名声和优越的地理位置，许多金融、旅游、保险等行业的大公司，都在这里租用办公室；每年2月14日的情人节，也有许多情侣前来大厦80层的天宇大厅（Sky Lobby）举行婚礼，为大厦增添了浓厚的浪漫气氛。大楼的86层和102层都设有露天了望台，可以供游客在那里俯瞰纽约的繁华景致，每到夜晚华灯初上的时候，从这里向下俯瞰万家灯火，更是令人陶醉，不过需要注意的是，由于86层的了望台是露天的，在大风天气需要多穿衣物防寒。在帝国大厦中还有非常吸引人的纽约空中之旅（New York Skyride），游客可以通过先进的声光科技，在几分钟之内看遍纽约的名胜古迹。

The Empire State Building was completed in New York in 1931. It was the tallest building in the world. It held that title for more than forty years, until the first of the World Trade Center's towers were built. Even though the Empire State Building is no longer the tallest building in the world, it still holds the title as the best-known architectural landmarks. Around the Great Depression days in the 1930s, the Empire State Building was almost completed. Although, there were many hardships around the Great Depression, the Empire State Building was completed with skill and honor. It still remains as one of the best, out of all those in the world.

Two men had a dream to build the tallest building in the world in New York City. They were John J. Raskob and Alfred E. Smith. The building's name came from one of the New York's nicknames as the "Empire State." Raskob had worked as a bookkeeper who eventually worked his way up to be the vice-president of General Motors. Smith was a former governor who proved to be an unsuccesssful canditdate during the elections. They met and discussed the idea to building the "Empire State Building." First they had to find a place to build such a building. They found that the best site would have to be on the old and closed Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue, betwwen 33rd and 34th streets This site was close to Manhattan 's southern tip because to support heavy and tall buildings, they needed bedrock underneath them. This much bedrock could only be found in Manhattan. Bedrock is an enormous, strong, deep rock that is enough to hold enormous pressure and weight. The two partners also wanted the building located where business was good. Raskob had paid around $20 million for the closed hotel, which was then torn down to begin this new project.

It took sixteen different versions of the design of the Empire State Building before they finally gained approval from Raskob, Smith, and the others that were involved in the project. When the designs were approved, construction took place at the site. There was going to be a grand entrance that would use most of the five-story base. The entrance would be four stories high and the main lobby on the inside would be three stories high. After the 80th floor, the tower narrows until it reaches 1,250 feet above Fifth Avenue. the observation decks would be built on teh 85th and 102nd floors. At the top there would be a TV antenna, which would make the "Empire State Building" to a total of 1,454 feet tall. The best part; about the designs were that the Empire State Building could be built both quickly and easitly. The materials were brought in, in the order that they were needed to quicken the process. The delivery of the parts followed a schedule so that the workers could build the Empire State Building as if it wer a toy. Before the construction started, a model of the building made out of plaster had to be made. The model of the Empire Sttae Building was 7 feet tall and weighed 525 pounds. It looked so realistic that the Fox Film Company used it for the movie, Skyline,instead of the real building.

帝国大厦高1,454英尺（443.2米），有102层。 帝国大厦（英语：Empire State Building），是位于美国纽约州纽约市曼哈顿第五大道350号、西33街与西34街之间的一栋著名摩天大楼。 名称源于纽约州的昵称──帝国州，故其英文名称原意为“帝国州/纽约州大厦”，惟帝国大厦的中文翻译已经约定俗世沿用至今。 帝国大厦为纽约市以至美国最著名的地标和旅游景点之一，为目前美国及美洲第4高，世界上第25高的摩天大楼，也是保持世界最高建筑地位最久的摩天大楼（1931-1972年）。 扩展资料设计： 来自Shreeve, Lamb, and Harmon建筑公司的设计师威廉·F·兰博负责建筑的主要设计。在前人的设计基础上，他仅花了两周的时间便构成了建筑图纸。 帝国大厦是富豪拉斯各布决意修建的。最初的计划是建一幢看上去低矮结实的34层大厦，后来又作过16次修改，最后才采纳了富豪拉斯各布的“铅笔型”方案。 也有人说最后定下的102层建筑方案是世界空中轮廊线的杰作。最终采取的方案使得建筑十分牢固。根据估算，建造帝国大厦的材料约有330,000吨。 大厦总共拥有6,500个窗户、73部电梯，从底层步行至顶层须经过1,860级台阶。它的总建筑面积为204,385平方米。 1955年，美国土木工程师学会将帝国大厦评价为现代世界七大工程奇迹之一。纽约地标委员会将其选为纽约市地标，1986年该建筑被认定为美国国家历史地标。 参考资料来源：百度百科–帝国大厦
