As part of that deal, the just-opened Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building and a symbol of what looked like heedless excess, was renamed Burj Khalifa in honour of Abu Dhabi’s ruler. But this needle in the desert no longer struggles to find tenants. Like many of Dubai’s other apparent white elephants, it has turned out well.
The skyscraper makes a strikingly beautiful centrepiece for Downtown Dubai, a business-cum-residential complex where what was a patch of dust now prickles with cranes and sparkling new high-rises. The draw of the Burj Khalifa helped last year to funnel 65m shoppers into the vast Dubai Mall next door, where they snapped up goods even at far-from-bargain prices.

Translation

Como parte de ese plan, la recién inaugurada Burj Dubai, el edificio más alto del mundo y el símbolo de lo que parecía ser el exceso, fue renombrado Burj Khalifa en honor al gobernante de Abu Dhabi. Pero esta aguja en el desierto ya no se esfuerza para encontrar inquilinos. Como mucho de los otros aparentes elefantes blancos de Dubai, resultó bien.
El rascacielos hace las veces de una sorprendente y hermosa pieza en el centro de Dubai, un complejo residencial y de negocios donde en lo que era un parche de polvo ahora punzan espinas y brillantes nuevos rascacielos. La atracción del Burj Khalifa ayudó el año pasado a canalizar 65m de compradores en un vasto Mall de Dubai contiguo, donde se compraron bienes incluso hasta a precio ganga.

Aaron Ralston, a 27-year-old mountain sports fanatic from Colorado in the United States, found himself in dire straits* alone in a canyon* in the desert when a 500kg rock came crashing down the canyon to smash his right hand and trap it against the canyon wall. A terrible accident, but the situation was made all the more serious because on this occasion Aaron had failed to tell anyone where he was going. At the last minute the plans for a trip with his climbing partners had fallen through, and on the spur of the moment he decided to head out on his own to cycle up a long mountain trail, leave his bike and then walk down the Blue John canyon. No one had the slightest idea where he was.

Translation

Aaron Ralston, âgée de 27 ans et fanatique des sports de montagne, natif du Colorado aux États-Unis, se trouvait dans une situation désespérée * seul dans un canyon * dans le désert quand un rocher de 500 kilos est venu s'écraser dans le canyon pour briser sa main droite et la piéger contre la paroi du canyon. Un terrible accident, mais la situation s'avait tourné plus grave parce qu'à cette occasion Aaron n'avait pas dis à personne où il allait. À la dernière minute les plans pour un voyage avec ses compagnons de cordée ont échoués, et sans réfléchir il a décidé de faire la randonnée, il a laissé le vélo et puis il a marché à le Blue John canyon. Personne avait aucune idée sur où il se trouvait.
