Taipei 101
臺北 101
On the 47th floor the custodian emptied the two black garbage cans. Glen watched her for a minute as he stopped to catch his breath. He was almost halfway there. "Don't look down," he thought to himself.
47樓的管理員正在清理兩個黑色垃圾桶，葛蘭停下來喘口氣時看了一會兒。他差不多爬到一半了，心裡想著不要往下看。
It had taken him three hours to climb to the 48th floor of the 101 building. It would only take him 10 seconds to get back if he wasn't careful.
他花了三個小時才爬到101大樓的48層，但萬一不小心掉下去卻只要十秒鐘。
It was a good day (if there ever was a good day to risk one's life) to scale the tallest building in the world. There was a slight breeze to keep Glen cool.
今天蠻適合（如果冒生命危險有所謂適合日子的話）攀登這棟全世界最高的建築物。輕輕的微風讓葛蘭覺得很涼爽。
Glen saw the ad in the newspaper. It read "Needed: Brave person to climb Taipei 101." It was a publicity stunt. Taiwan wanted the whole world to know about the newest tallest building in the world and what better way to do it than with a daredevil stunt.
葛蘭看到報紙刊登的廣告上寫著：「徵求攀登臺北101的勇士。」這是一場經過宣傳的驚人表演。如果臺灣想讓全世界都知道這棟世界上最高的新建築的話，還有什麼比找個不怕死的人來場驚險演出更有效果呢？
So, there Glen was, now almost 99 stories high with the world watching. Never in history has someone performed such a feat. The crowds at the bottom cheered him on as he reached the top.
所以葛蘭才會來到這裡爬101，在全世界注目下，目前幾乎爬到第99層了。這樣一種英勇事跡如果完成，史上便是頭一遭。底下的圍觀群眾在他登頂時一片歡聲雷動，替他加油鼓勵。
