　　6) The paint color of the Eiffel Tower presents an optical illusion

　　铁塔的油漆颜色呈现视错觉

　　Because the taller sections of the tower are against the brighter sky, the bronze paint color is shaded slightly darker than the color closer to the ground. This is to give the impression that the tower is painted in a single shade.

　　因为塔的较高部分与较亮的天空相对，所以那部分的青铜漆颜色比靠近地面的颜色略深。这样是为了让铁塔的整体颜色看上去是一致的。

　　7) You can enjoy some bubbly at the top

　　你可以在塔顶享受香槟酒

　　The Eiffel Tower has a champagne bar at the top level. There are a couple of options available, starting at about $15 for a glass of bubbly.

　　埃菲尔铁塔顶层设有香槟酒吧，饮品有多种选择，一杯香槟酒起价约15美元(约合人民币100元。

　　8) The Eiffel Tower is a naked Statue of Liberty

　　埃菲尔铁塔是裸体版的自由女神像

　　So to speak. Gustave Eiffel’s company designed the metal structure that holds the Statue of Liberty together. You can think of the Eiffel Tower as a Statue of Liberty without the skin, though the shapes of the two structures are quite different.

　　可以这么说。古斯塔夫-埃菲尔的公司也为自由女神像设计了金属结构。你可以认为埃菲尔铁塔就是除去外部附着的自由女神像，尽管两个建筑的形状大相径庭。

　　9) It’s much less crowded at night

　　晚上不那么拥挤

　　Visitors to Paris may not be as romantic as we thought. Although Paris is known as the City of Light and its illuminated attractions can easily be seen at night, the Eiffel Tower has much fewer visitors in the evening than during the day. The tower is open year-round until 11:45 pm, with the last admissions at 11 pm, 10:30 pm to visit the top. During the height of summer, the tower stays open for another hour.

　　巴黎游客可能没我们想的那么浪漫。尽管巴黎以光之城著称，晚上很容易看到众多的照明景观，但埃菲尔铁塔晚上的游客比白天少得多。铁塔全年开放，每日关闭时间为晚上11点45分，最后入场时间为晚上11点，塔顶最后入场时间是晚上10点半。在夏季旅游高峰期，铁塔还延长开放一小时。

　　10) 19th-century elevators are still in operation

　　19世纪的电梯仍在运行

　　Two of the original elevator cars, and the 1899 hydraulic equipment, are still functioning in the Eiffel Tower elevators that go to the third floor in the east and west pillars. The equipment has been updated, but it is essentially the same technology that was used more than a century ago.

　　两台建塔时原有的电梯，以及1899年的液压设备仍在运行，可以将游客送到东部和西部铁柱的三层。电梯设备虽然经过更新，但基本上与一个多世纪以前使用的技术相同。
