Reminder of Old Faithful?
Centennial Fountain And Water Arc的点评
点评：The Nicholas J. Melas Centennial Fountain and Water Arc is Chicago's answer to Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Located at 400 North McClurg Court, in Cityfront Place, on the north bank of the Chicago River, it opened in 1989 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. A community landmark and popular gathering place, it sends an 80-foot water arc across the river at the top of the hour, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. from May through October. It was named to honor Melas, who served as president of the MWRD for nearly two decades. It is a celebration of the organization's history as well as a tribute to Chicago's ongoing efforts to manage and protect its vital water resources. The fountain is composed of a series of granite steps that descend to the river's edge, reflecting the river's natural flow and offering a tranquil setting amid the bustling city. At the top of the steps, a semi-circular basin collects water that is pumped at high pressure through nozzles to create a dramatic 80-foot arc.
翻译：尼古拉斯·J·梅拉斯百年喷泉和水弧是芝加哥对黄石国家公园老忠实喷泉的回应。它位于芝加哥河北岸城市广场麦克拉格北街400号，于1989年开放，以纪念大芝加哥都会水利回收区成立100周年。作为社区地标和受欢迎的聚会场所，它在每年的五月至十月期间，即上午10点至下午2点和下午4点至晚上11点，在整点时分，一道80英尺高的水弧横跨河流。它以担任水利回收区主席近二十年的梅拉斯的名字命名。这是对该组织历史的庆祝，也是对芝加哥为管理和保护其重要水资源所做的持续努力的致敬。喷泉由一系列花岗岩台阶构成，一直延伸至河岸，映衬着河流的自然流淌，在喧嚣的城市中营造出一片宁静的氛围。台阶顶部是一个半圆形水池，水流经喷嘴高压喷出，形成一道80英尺（约24米）的弧形弧线。
