To accommodate the demand for office space, and to put the city on the world stage as China's financial capital, a cluster of three eye-catching supertall skyscrapers were planned.

为了满足人们对办公空间的需求，并使这座城市成为世界舞台上的中国金融之都，三座引人注目的超高层摩天大楼被规划起来。

The Jin Mao Building, the first of this trio, was completed in 1999 and was followed nearly a decade later by the Shanghai World Financial Centre.

But Shanghai Tower was always intended to be the jewel in the crown. Backed by a consortium of state-owned developers and primarily funded by Shanghai's municipal government, work on the USD $2.4BN tower first commenced in 2008.

但上海中心大厦一直想成为皇冠上的明珠。由一家由国有开发商组成的财团支持，主要由上海市政府提供资金，这座价值24亿美元的大厦于2008年开工。

Eight years and 128 storeys later, the twisting structure completed, stunning the world with its scale and unusual form while making the skyscraper superblock one of the densest places on Earth, with more than a million square metres of real estate on offer.

8年建了128层之后，这个螺旋状的结构完成了，以其规模和不同寻常的造型震惊了世界，同时使这座超级摩天大楼成为地球上人员最密集的地方之一，这里超过百万平米的房地产可供出售。

Sitting so close together these towers invite comparison. Each one sets a monumental record, only to be dramatically outdone by its successor.

两座塔靠得这么近，很容易引起比较。每一项都创下了不朽的记录，但都被它的后继者明显的超过了。
