今年洛克菲勒中心的圣诞树亮灯仪式在昨晚举行,今年的圣诞树比以前更明亮、更环保。就在9点之前,纽约市长迈克尔•布隆伯格先生打开了开关，点亮了这棵由45000个耀眼多彩的LED灯和一颗9.5英尺宽的施华洛世奇水晶星星组成的圣诞树。
今年的圣诞树主体是一棵来自康涅狄格州谢尔顿市的76英尺挪威云杉。在它上个月来纽约时，它大约已经75岁了。这棵充满节日装饰气息的圣诞树将在洛克菲勒中心展出，直至明年1月7日，在这之后，该树木将被用来建造房屋。
洛克菲勒中心的圣诞树亮灯仪式是从上世纪30年代年代开始的传统仪式，到今年为止，这个标识性的仪式已经举办了了81年。今年的特色装饰灯约15000个，幸运的是，这些灯的能源将由洛克菲勒广场45层楼顶上的太阳能发电站提供。
观众和游客将会在每天早晨5点半到午夜11点半之间看到点亮的圣诞树，而在圣诞节那天，圣诞树将会全天24小时点亮。

This year's Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, which took place last night, was brighter and greener than ever. Just before 9pm, Mayor Michael Bloomberg flipped a switch to illuminate the tree with 45,000 dazzling, multi-colored LED lights and a 9.5-foot-wide Swarovski crystal star.
This year’s tree was a 76-foot Norway Spruce hailing from Shelton, Connecticut. The approximately 75-year-old tree made its 70-mile trip to New York City over the last month. The festively adorned tree will be on show at Rockefeller Center until January 7th, after which the tree will be milled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity to build homes.
This year’s event marked the 81st annual tree-lighting ceremony since Rockefeller Center officially started the tradition in the early 1930s. This year’s tree features 15,000 more lights, and luckily these will be powered by a solar power station atop the roof of 45 Rockefeller Plaza.
Spectators and general tourists will be able to see this year’s tree all lit up everyday from 5:30 a.m. 11:30 p.m. On Christmas day, the tree will be lit for a full 24 hours.
