“奇迹……”
4 S5 P: t! g p% b2 v The Golden Gate Bridge, an architectural wonder and American icon, was opened on May 27, 1937. It had taken four years and over $35 million to build and the chief engineer overseeing its construction, Joseph Strauss wrote an appropriately titled poem to commemorate its opening: "The Mighty Task is Done." 金门大桥，一个建筑的奇迹，一个美国的标志，在1937年5月27日启用。用了四年时间，花费了三千五百万美元才建造完成，监督其建造过程的首席工程师约瑟夫·施特劳斯抒写下一首命名恰到好处的诗来纪念它的开幕：《奇迹已完成》。

The bridge pioneered the use of a moveable safety net that saved the lives of 19 construction workers over the course of the bridge's manufacture. These 19 went on to become members of the unofficial "Halfway to Hell" Club. 大桥倡导使用可移动安全网，该网在大桥建造过程中挽救了19名建筑工人的生命。这19人之后成为了非官方组织“半路黄泉”俱乐部的成员。# ~3 n. r) w: s7 C w8 Z! G. \

Each of the bridge's two towers stands 746 feet above water. The bridge is designed so that the towers absorb stress on the roadway via the suspension cables. 大桥有两座钢塔，每一座矗立起来比水面高出746英尺（约227米）。大桥是这样设计的，钢塔吸收通过悬吊的钢索传送过来的桥面压力。. ]8 k( d1 k+ g) b8 H

Construction on the bridge started on Jan. 5, 1933, and ended in April 1937, $1.5 million under budget. Its color scheme of International Orange was something local residents requested. 大桥施工开始于1933年1月5日，结束于1937年4月，花费低于预算150万美元。其国际橙这个色彩方案是当地居民要求的。

The bridge has been closed a handful of times in its history: three times for gusting winds of 69 mph or more, once each for visits by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and French President Charles DeGaulle, and briefly on some nights for construction. The longest it was ever closed was for three hours and 27 minutes in 1983 for winds of 75 mph. 大桥在其历史上曾经关闭过少数几次：三次因为时速达到或超过69英里（约111公里）的狂风，两次分别因为罗斯福总统的到访和法国戴高乐总统的到访，还有因施工在几个晚上短暂关闭。曾经关闭最长的一次是在1983年，因时速75英里（约121公里）的风关了3小时27分钟。

The original bridge design was far from elegant, and was rejected for aesthetic reasons. The Art Deco look evolved after consulting architect Irving F. Morrow came on board the project. 原来的大桥设计方案一点都不优雅，还因美观问题被否决掉。在顾问建筑师欧文·F·莫罗参与进来这个项目之后，这个风格派的外观才逐渐形成。
