Empire State Building to light series
- Famous American landmark will highlight Mets-Yanks matchup
帝國大廈將點亮地鐵大戰
- 知名的美國地標將把大都會、洋基系列賽作為燈光照明主題
By Paul Bodi / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- The bright lights of Manhattan will take on a little different
color scheme this weekend as the famous Empire State Building will be lit to
salute the Interleague Play series between the Mets and Yankees for the first
time.
曼哈頓耀眼明亮的燈景將會在這個週末有一點不一樣的主題，
因為最著名的地標「帝國大廈」的燈光會在夜晚亮起，
第一次向同在紐約市的大都會及洋基的跨聯盟比賽致敬。
The two New York-based teams will be playing their Subway Series on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday at Shea Stadium in Queens. Starting on Friday, the north
and south sides of the building will be lit in Yankees blue and white, while
its east and west sides will be lit in Mets blue and orange.
這兩個以紐約作為根據地的球隊將在本週五、週六、週日於大都會隊在紐約皇后區的主場
Shea Stadium展開「地鐵大戰」。
從禮拜五開始，洋基隊的代表色 - 藍色、白色 - 將出現在帝國大廈的北側和南側，
而大都會隊的代表色 - 藍色、橘色 - 將會出現在在帝國大廈的東側與西側。
To the victor will go the spoils. The team that wins the series will have its
colors displayed on all four sides of the tower on Monday.
地鐵大戰的勝利者將可以把整個帝國大廈當作他們的戰利品，
禮拜一，三連戰之後的第二天，帝國大廈的四個側面的燈景將呈現勝方球隊的代表顏色。
"For the first time in its history, the Empire State Building will split its
tower lights -- half for the Yankees and half for the Mets -- in celebration
of New York's biggest sports rivalry," said James Connors, the building's
general manager. "When baseball fans look at the city skyline, they'll be
able to root for their favorite team. And, it gives the players an extra
boost -- at the end of the Subway Series, the winning team claims the entire
crown of New York City's greatest building."
「這將是帝國大廈有史以來第一次將大樓燈景的顏色分成兩個組合，
一半給洋基、另一半給大都會，來慶祝紐約自己最大的體育對抗盛事。」
帝國大廈的主管James Connors說：
「當棒球迷們抬頭往天上看、看到城市的天際線時，
他們將可以為自己所喜愛的球隊加油。
並且，這麼做也能給予交戰雙方的球員們額外的誘因
- 在地鐵大戰結束後，戰績上勝出的球隊將可以主張對這棟紐約市最偉大的建築物
燈景的權利。」
Soaring 1,454 feet above Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building is
considered one of the world's most recognizable structures. It recently was
named America's favorite building in a poll conducted by the American
Institute of Architects.
在曼哈頓商業區中心高達1,454英呎的帝國大廈被認為是世界上最能被人們認得的建築物
之一。它在最近剛被"美國建築師協會"票選提名為全美最受人喜愛的建築物。

PS.電影《Sleepless in Seattle 西雅圖夜未眠》亦在帝國大廈的觀景台上取景。
