哪座大楼有世界上运行速度最快的电梯？
Which Building Has the World's Fastest-Moving Elevator?

由专筑网李韧，朱王倩编译

办公楼电梯的最长等待时间是20秒，当你着急时，你会感觉那20秒有2分钟那么长，但是电梯实际运行的速度有多快呢？

电梯的最高时速可以达到每秒67英尺（每秒20.5米），上海塔的时速为每小时46英里（每小时73.8公里）。上海塔不仅自诩速度最快的电梯，而且也是运行距离最长的电梯，塔身总高为2073英尺（约632米），运行距离为1898英尺（约578.5米），世界高层建筑与都市人居学会(CTBUH)的一项研究报告表明，以这样的速度，你可以在55秒内到达119层。

The targeted maximum wait time in office building elevators is 20 seconds—it just feels like 2 minutes when you’re in a rush. But how quickly are the elevators actually moving?
The fastest installed elevator reaches speeds of 67 feet per second (20.5 meters per second), or 46 miles per hour (73.8 kilometers per hour) in the Shanghai Tower. Not only does the Gensler-designed Shanghai Tower boast the fastest elevator, but also the longest continuous run of 1,898 feet of the 2,073-foot tower (578.5 of 632 meters), as revealed in a recent study by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). At these speeds, you can reach the 119th floor in 55 seconds.

运行速度位居第二的是CTF金融中心和台北的101大楼，前者的运行速度为每秒65英尺（每秒20米），后者的速度为每秒55英尺（每秒16.8米）。排名前五名的还有横滨的路标大厦，可以加速到每秒41英尺（每秒12.5米），以及由西萨佩里设计的国际金融中心二期，其速度为每秒35英尺（每秒10.6米）。

令人惊讶的是，在这个排名中，只有两个运行速度最快的电梯的运行距离能够跻身前列。如前所述，上海塔的运行距离最长，而CTF金融中心的运行距离则排名第三，塔高为1739英尺（约530米），而运行距离为1695英尺（约516.7米）。而由KPF设计的平安金融中心的运行距离则排名第二，建筑总高为1965英尺（599米），而运行距离为1881英尺（约573.5米）。由SOM设计的Burj Khalifa是世界上最高的建筑，电梯的连续运行距离为1653英尺（504米），只达到了大楼总高的百分之六十，即2723英尺（约830米）。在CTBUH的报告“世界五大连续电梯运行报告”中说明，1821英尺（555米）高的韩国首尔乐天世界大厦可以在1分钟内从底部直接运行到顶部，运行距离约1627英尺（496米）。

既然上升了，那也一定需要下降。CTBUH的报告也指出了电梯的最快下降速度与下降距离，芬兰的Tytyri电梯的检测距离为下降1148英尺（约350米）。CTBUH的报告也明确指出了世界上时速最快、运行距离最长的电梯。

Runners-up in the fastest elevator race are the CTF Finance Center, at a speed of 65 feet per second (20 meters per second) and Taipei 101, reaching a peak speed of at 55 feet per second (16.8 meters per second). Rounding out the top 5 are the Landmark Tower in Yokohama, accelerating to 41 feet per second (12.5 meters per second) and Two International Finance Center designed by Cesar Pelli at 35 feet per second (10.6 meters per second).
Surprisingly, only two of the fastest elevators top the charts for the tallest continuous elevator runs. As mentioned, the Shanghai Tower has the longest run, while the CTF Finance center has the third-longest run, covering 1,695 feet of the 1,739-foot tower (516.7 of 530 meters). The Ping An Finance Center by KPF boasts the second-longest elevator run at 1,881 feet of the 1,965-foot tall tower (573.5 of 599 meters). The Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building designed by SOM, has a continuous elevator run of 1,653 feet (504 meters), reaching only sixty percent of the building’s 2,723-foot (830-meter) height. Last on CTBUH's “World’s Five Tallest Continuous Elevator Runs” report is the 1,821-foot (555-meter)-tall Lotte World Tower in Seoul, with a 1,627-foot (496-meter) continuous elevator run taking one minute to ride from bottom to top.
And because what goes up, must come down, the world’s deepest elevator also receives a mention in the CTBUH report, descending 1,148 feet (350 meters) at the KONE elevator testing facility in Tytyri, Finland.
