Her paper focused on the Citicorp Center, a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan.

她的论文聚焦于曼哈顿中城的摩天大楼花旗集团中心。

When it was built two years earlier, Citicorp Center was one of the world's tallest buildings.

两年前建成时，花旗银行中心是世界上最高的建筑之一。

After filling in the architects and executives at Citicorp, LeMessurier's team worked with city officials to craft a confidential plan.

在花旗银行聘请了建筑师和高管后，LeMessurier 的团队与市政府官员合作制定了一份机密计划。

City officials and Citicorp executives planned an emergency evacuation for a 10-block radius, but at the last minute, the hurricane veered out to sea.

市政府官员和花旗银行高管计划在 10 个街区范围内紧急疏散，但在最后一刻，飓风转向大海。

However, at the time, in the late 1930s, Citicorp said the machines had been used by some people, but not enough to keep the machines in their banks.

然而，当时在 20 世纪 30 年代后期，花旗银行表示这些机器已经被一些人使用， 但不足以将机器留在他们的银行中。

Sadly, Simjian came up with this idea way back in 1939 and he actually got one bank called Citicorp to put these machines in some of their local banks.

可悲的是，Simjian 早在 1939 年就提出了这个想法， 他实际上让一家名为 Citicorp 的银行将这些机器安装在他们当地的一些银行中。

In fact, Citicorp said the only people who wanted to use the machines were people who were gangsters – people who were thieves who didn't want the teller to see their faces, and prostitutes – people who sell sex for money.

事实上，花旗集团表示，唯一想使用这些机器的人是歹徒——不想让出纳员看到他们脸的小偷， 以及卖淫换钱的妓女。
