点评:Pier Head is the most important area on Liverpool's waterfront, featuring three monumental buildings (the Liverpool Building, the Port of Liverpool Building, and the Cunard Building). In 2021, UNESCO decided to revoke Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City's World Heritage status, partly because the surroundings of the historic buildings had been "severely compromised." During many walks, I could indeed understand why this decision had been made. New structures have been added, such as the modern Liverpool Museum and the black boxes housing the Open Eye Gallery and the RIBA. The Liverpool One shopping centre at the rear is another complex that significantly disrupts the historic surroundings. I understood the new Everton stadium was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Nevertheless, Pier Head and the docks nearby remain an interesting, not to say awesome place to visit. With a little imagination, you can picture what the trading city looked like during the heyday of the British Empire.
翻译:码头区是利物浦海滨最重要的区域,拥有三座标志性建筑(利物浦大厦、利物浦港务大厦和冠达大厦)。2021年,联合国教科文组织决定撤销利物浦海事商业城的世界遗产地位,部分原因是这些历史建筑的周边环境“遭到严重破坏”。多次漫步于此,我深切体会到这一决定的缘由。新的建筑拔地而起,例如现代化的利物浦博物馆,以及容纳开放之眼画廊和英国皇家建筑师学会的黑色建筑群。后方的利物浦一号购物中心也严重破坏了周围的历史风貌。我了解到,新建的埃弗顿球场是压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。
尽管如此,码头区及其附近的码头仍然是一个引人入胜,甚至令人叹为观止的景点。只需稍加想象,你便能感受到这座贸易之都在英国鼎盛时期的风采。
