A very scary slide has opened to the public in Los Angeles. Slides are usually seen in children's parks, but the scary Skyslide is on the outside of a building, 70 stories high. To make it scarier, the Skyslide is made of glass, which is just 3 cm thick. People who go on it have to look down at the street 300 metres below them. It is part of the U.S. Bank Tower in downtown L.A. It cost $3.5 million to build. The slide starts at the 70th floor and goes down one story to the 69th floor. It is only 15 metres from start to finish and takes about five seconds to get from top to bottom. Riders must sit on a special safety mat and push themselves out of a window. Only one person can go on it at a time.

驚險(xiǎn)高空滑梯落戶洛杉磯。滑梯通常會(huì)出現(xiàn)在兒童樂(lè)園，但這座滑梯卻出現(xiàn)在建筑外圍，足足有70層樓高。為了增加驚險(xiǎn)程度，制作滑梯的玻璃僅有3厘米厚。距離地面300米高?；輰儆诼迳即壥新?lián)邦銀行大廈。造價(jià)3500萬(wàn)美元?；輳?0層滑落到69層?？偩嚯x僅為15米，總時(shí)長(zhǎng)5秒鐘。體驗(yàn)者需要坐在特制的安全墊上，之后將自己推出窗外。一次僅容一人通過(guò)。

The president of the company that owns the building said there were many meetings about what kind of attraction it should have. They wanted something special. The president said: "We have to do something that doesn't exist anywhere else." She said the slide is safe enough to support a school bus filled with people. An L.A. Times reporter spoke about the ride. He said: "The ride takes just a few seconds. Before you can get a really proper scream going, you're launched out onto a safety mat on an outdoor deck on the 69th floor." Tickets to get into the Skyspace area on the 70th floor are $25 for adults and $19 for children aged between 3-12. A ride on the Skyslide costs an additional $8.

持有聯(lián)邦銀行大廈的集團(tuán)總裁表示，對(duì)于如何吸引游客目光，我們進(jìn)行了多次商討。他們想構(gòu)建一些特別的東西?？偛帽硎荆?ldquo;我們的目的就是要獨(dú)一無(wú)二。”她稱(chēng)滑梯可承載裝滿乘客的校車(chē)?！堵迳即墪r(shí)報(bào)》記者對(duì)滑梯發(fā)表了意見(jiàn)。他認(rèn)為：“整個(gè)過(guò)程只有幾秒鐘。在69層外部平臺(tái)，游客通過(guò)安全坐墊向下俯沖，還沒(méi)來(lái)得及尖叫就結(jié)束了。”進(jìn)入70層Skyspace的門(mén)票是成人25美元，3-12歲兒童為19美元。乘坐天空滑梯還要再付8美元。
