沙特土豪級斥資20億建世界最高塔：超1千米
The Saudi developer behind plans for the world's tallest building said Sunday it had secured financing to complete the record-breaking project.
週日，沙特阿拉伯世界最高建築計劃背後的開發者說，他們已經拿到了資金來完成這個計劃，打破世界記錄。
Kingdom Holding Co, chaired by billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, said its affiliate Jeddah Economic Company had reached a more than $2 billion (1.9 billion euro) financing deal with Saudi Arabia's Alinma Investment to finish the Jeddah Tower in the Red Sea city.
沙特王國控股公司的主席是身家過億萬的沙特王子阿爾瓦利德·本·塔拉爾。公司稱其附屬機構吉達經濟公司已與沙特阿拉伯阿林馬投資公司達成經濟交易，得到了超過20億美元（19億歐元）的資金用於在紅海城市吉達修築吉達塔。
Previously dubbed 'Kingdom Tower', the 170-storey building is to rise more than a kilometre, surpassing Dubai's Burj Khalifa as the world's highest building.
吉達塔原名“王國塔”，擁有170層，高度超過一千米，超越了迪拜的哈利法塔成爲了世界最高建築。
The Burj Khalifa, by comparison, stands at 2,716 feet. New York City's Freedom Tower, currently the fifth tallest in the world, is dwarf-like at 1,792 feet.
相比之下，哈利法塔高2179英尺（約827.8米），而現今世界第五高的紐約自由大廈則只有1792英尺（約546.2米），像個小矮子一樣。
'Alinma Bank will finance the fund, to be managed by Alinma Investment, while Jeddah Economic Company will be the master developer of projects that will draw on the fund's credit lines,' the statement said.
官方聲明稱：“阿林馬銀行會給我們提供資金，由阿林馬投資公司管理，吉達經濟公司將會成爲計劃的最高開發者，並會動用到資金的信用額度。”
Alwaleed said a year ago that the tower, which will feature a hotel, apartments and offices, was slated for completion in 2018.
阿爾瓦利德一年前說過，吉達塔上會有酒店、公寓和辦公室，計劃於2018年建成。
At that time the four-storey foundations of the building were finished and Alwaleed said 'now we are on the verge of building a floor every four days'.
那時這座塔的四層地基已經建好了，阿爾瓦利德說“我們現在幾乎每四天就能建一層”。
That pace would have put the skyscraper at around 90 floors now, but the statement on Sunday said it is 'currently at its 26th floor'.
照那樣的速度這座摩天大樓現在應該有90層了，但星期天的官方聲明說大樓“現在有26層了”。
The tower will feature a stunning viewing deck allowing visitors to walk around an 'air park'.
吉達塔上會有一個令人目眩的觀景層，遊客可以在“空中公園”中走動。
