　　As I popped my head out of the hole in Jesus crown, I was in total and utter awe as my eyes met with a vast panorama that quite literally took my breath away. Talk about a religious experience! I ve never been afraid of heights or tight spaces, but experiencing acrophobia, claustrophobia and profound awe at the same time was something truly remarkable, he said of the experience.

　　当我从耶稣雕像上王冠的缝隙中伸出脑袋，阔大的全景图展现在我眼前，我感到一阵窒息，心中充满无限敬畏之感。这真是一次神圣之旅!我从来没有在高空、或者幽闭环境中感到过恐惧，这一次我同时体验到了恐高症、幽闭恐怖症和满心的敬畏感，这的确是很难忘的经验。李汤普森这样说。

　　Christ the Redeemer statue is 100 feet tall and sits 2,000 feet above the city of Rio de Janeiro on Corcovado Hill.
