金门大桥，加利福尼亚

大雾像魔法布般笼罩在秋日午后的金门大桥之上。
桥的南塔沉到了雾里达35英尺（11米），多么不可思议的奇迹，这全都是托海峡里汹涌气流的福。吊缆因为温度和交通的改变显得延长和缩小了。
靠近桥的船只，先要确定在桥跨下的主船道最低能见度是220英尺（67米）。图片上一艘装满原油的油船正驶入海湾，而原油也是这个地区最主要的进口货物。在这一刻，图片上的油船静止了，就像里查德.亨利.达那在1859年写的那样：“新世界的商业中心，将会影响整个太平洋。”







英文注释：
Golden Gate Bridge, California

"Magic curtain of fog envelops the...Golden Gate Bridge on an autumn afternoon. The south tower was sunk 35 feet (11 meters) deep into bedrock, a next-to-impossible feat because of the furious currents in this strait. Cables expand and contract with changing temperature and traffic load. Approaching ships are assured a minimum clearance of 220 feet (67 meters) in the main channel beneath the span. A tanker bearing crude oil—the area's largest import—slips into the bay, which is still, as Richard Henry Dana wrote in 1859, 'emporium of a new world, the awakened Pacific.'"
