O QUE SIGNIFICA TOWER EM INGLÊS

Torre

Tower

Uma torre é uma estrutura alta, mais alta do que ampla, muitas vezes por uma margem significativa. As torres são distinguidas dos mastros por sua falta de fios e são, portanto, junto com edifícios altos, estruturas auto-sustentadas. As torres são geralmente construídas para tirar proveito de sua altura e podem ficar sozinhas no chão, ou como parte de uma estrutura ou dispositivo maior, como um edifício fortificado ou como parte integrante de uma ponte.

A tower is a tall structure, taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. Towers are distinguished from masts by their lack of guy-wires and are therefore, along with tall buildings, self supporting structures. Towers are generally built to take advantage of their height, and can stand alone on the ground, or as part of a larger structure or device such as a fortified building or as an integral part of a bridge.
