        Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long-span suspension bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York’s East River, it provided the first traffic artery between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter. 
        The construction of a bridge over the East River had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State legislature passed an act incorporating the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. 
        John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held radical views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous liberal. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination. 
        Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two masonry towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.

Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long-span suspension bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York’s East River, it provided the first traffic artery between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.     
       布魯克林大橋於 1883 年通車，是第一座承載機動車的大跨度懸索橋，並迅速成為下個世紀偉大懸索橋的典範。它跨越紐約的東河，提供了曼哈頓島和布魯克林之間的第一條交通幹線。在此之前，唯一的交通工具是渡輪，渡輪很慢，而且在冬天行駛面臨可能的危險。

The construction of a bridge over the East River had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State legislature passed an act incorporating the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. 

        自 19 世紀初以來，人們就一直在討論在東河上建造一座橋樑，但 1861 年內戰的爆發轉移了對該項目的所有考慮。 1865 年戰爭結束後，這座橋再次成為一個重要問題。 1867 年，紐約州立法機構通過了一項法案，將紐約大橋公司納入其中，目的是在曼哈頓島和布魯克林之間建造和維護一座橋樑。

John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held radical views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous liberal. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination. 

        約翰·奧古斯都·羅布林（John Augustus Roebling）被選為橋樑設計。他於 1806 年出生於德國，在學生時代就持有激進的觀點，並被德國警方列為危險的自由主義者。他於 1830 年移居美國以逃避政治歧視。

Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two masonry towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.

        羅布林提出了一座跨度為 1,500 英尺（465 m）的橋樑，以東河中的兩座磚石塔作為主要橋墩。實際建造的橋樑更長——1,597 英尺（486 米），是當時最長的懸索橋。
