Originally called Freedom Tower, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the U.S., rising at one site of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks. One World Observatory opens today. A trip up to it costs $32, but the gravity of that is harder to measure.

世贸中心一号大楼，原称为自由塔，是美国最高的建筑物。坐落于九一一袭击事件中倒塌的原世界贸易中心的旧址。世贸一楼观景台于今日开放。旅费最高花费32美元，但是很难估计在那里所受到的重心引力。

CLAIRE SEBASTIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT : The number tells part of the story: 1,250 feet above the ground, view stretching 50 miles on a clear day, almost a decade of rebuilding.

克莱尔·塞巴斯蒂安，CNN 记者：数字就能讲述一部分的故事，大楼高达1250英尺，晴天可以远眺50英里远，相当于用了大概10年的时间将世贸大楼进行了重建。

(on camera): And yet once you`re up here even on a cloudy day, those numbers gave way to feelings which are quite frankly difficult to describe. The rumor has it that when it`s clear, you can see the curvature of the Earth from this point and it`s certainly true that you can feel the weight of recent history.

视频：然而，即使在阴天登上这座大楼，那时的感觉也很难用数字来形容。有这样的传言，在晴天时，在这里你可以看到地球的轮廓。当然，你也可以感觉到近代史的负荷。

DAVE CHECKETTS, CEO, LEGENDS: The construction of this building and the observatory are a fist pump for going forward, for moving forward, for saying, there is a future and we embrace it.

大卫·查克特，CEO，LEGENDS:建造这座大楼和观望台是我们前进，向前迈进的重要举措。换句话说，未来在前方，我们要去迎接它。

SEBASTIAN : Dave Checketts is the man in charge of the day to day running of the observatory. Architect TJ Gottesdiener helped design the structure itself.

塞巴斯蒂安：大卫·查克特每天负责观望台的运营。设计师TJ Gottesdiener帮助设计观望台的结构。

TJ GOTTESDIENER,: It pulls at you, when you`re up there and you start -- you look down, you can see the memorial. You have that sense of remembrance.

TJ GOTTESDIENER：它会对你影响很深，当你登上观望台，开始——俯视，你可以看见纪念馆。会让你有种怀念的感觉。

SEBASTIAN: It`s not just about the views. The 47-second elevator ride comes complete with the 500-year time lapse of New York skyline.

塞巴斯蒂安：这里不仅仅只是景色。在这里，47电双层电梯会呈现500年纽约全景景象。

CHECKETTS: And now, you get a brief view of the World Trade Center on this side, just for -- just a moment. And then it disappears.

查克特：现在，在这里你可以看见世贸中心的概况，片刻，景象就消失了。

SEBASTIAN: And then the view itself is revealed gradually, behind automatic screens.

塞巴斯蒂安：然后，在自动的屏幕上，景象又出现了。

In a city crowded with skyscrapers, One World`s Trade Center has serious competition.

在大楼琳琅的纽约市，世贸中心一号大楼的竞争激烈。

(on camera): How many visitors a year?

视频：每年有多少游客?

ANTHONY E. MALKIN, CHAIRMAN AND CEO, EMPIRE STATE REALITY TRUST: Last year, we have 4.3 million.

安东尼 E. 马尔金，主席兼CEO，帝国房地产信托公司：去年，我们有430万的游客。

SEBASTIAN : The Empire State Building`s observatory brought in revenues of $111 million last year.

塞巴斯蒂安：去年帝国大厦观望台的年收入达到了1.11亿美元。

MALKIN: New York City is represented to so many people in the world by the Empire State Building.

马尔金：帝国大厦将纽约呈现在了世界上很多人们面前。

SEBASTIAN: Few would dispute One World Trade Center now shares that status. And with the predictive 3.8 million visitors a year to the observatory, it could well match that success.

塞巴斯蒂安：现在，很少人会怀疑世贸中心一号大楼会与帝国大厦并称。预计每年会有380万的游客来到世贸中心一号大楼观望台。这样，观望台就可以与帝国大厦想相媲美。

For those involved in the project, though, it already has.

但是，对于参与这项工程的人来说，观望台已经取得了那样的成就。

GOTTESDIENER: When I walked by the building now, it feels right.

GOTTESDIENER：现在，我经过这座大楼，感觉很好。

SEBASTIAN : And do you think when people`s down and look from the 100 floor out, they`ll get the same feeling?

塞巴斯蒂安：你认为当人们在外面抬头仰望这100层的大楼和从上面向下俯视的感觉一样吗?

GOTTESDIENER: I think they`ll have a very powerful feeling, yes, I do. I think they`ll feel like this was the right thing.

GOTTESDIENER：我认为他们会有一种强烈的感觉，我就是。我认为，他们会感觉，就是这种感觉。

SEBASTIAN : Claire Sebastian, CNN, New York.
