白宫将其“新直升机停机坪”列为公众可参观的景点之一，该游览活动已正式宣布。这项每年两次的免费游览通常在春季和秋季举行。
The White House is touting its "new helipad" as one of the sights that visitors can admire during the just-announced fall garden tours that are open to the public. The free, biannual tours traditionally take place in both the spring and fall.
今年，白宫的花园和场地将于10月17日和18日上午10点至下午4:30向公众开放。
This year, the gardens and grounds of the White House will be open on Oct. 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普在周二的声明中表示：‘在游览过程中，游客可以欣赏到南草坪、玫瑰园、白宫厨房花园、扩建后的白宫蜂箱以及新直升机停机坪的美丽。’
"Throughout the tour, guests will enjoy the beauty of the South Lawn, the Rose Garden, the White House Kitchen Garden, the expanded White House Beehive, and the new helipad," first lady Melania Trump's office said in a Tuesday announcement.
白宫称，这些花园让游客能够一窥这片见证了美国250年历史的场地的独特风貌。’
The gardens, the White House said, "provide guests with a unique glimpse into the grounds that have served as a backdrop throughout our nation's 250 years of history."
特朗普总统本月早些时候宣布，他下令在南草坪上建造的花岗岩停机坪已经完工。
President Trump announced earlier this month that construction on the granite landing pad on the South Lawn that he had ordered for Marine One was complete.
据总统称，这项耗资600万美元的直升机停机坪项目由洛克希德·马丁公司的子公司西科斯基飞机公司承担费用。
Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, covered the cost of the $6 million helipad project, according to the president.
今年4月，梅拉尼娅·特朗普还参与了在南草坪上安装的一个蜂箱的揭幕仪式，该蜂箱的设计灵感来源于宾夕法尼亚大道1600号的建筑风格。
In April, Melania Trump helped unveil a beehive installed on the White House's South Lawn that was crafted to look like a mini version of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
虽然这些定时举行的游览活动是免费的，但所有参与者都需要购票。
While the sweater weather-timed tours are free, tickets are required for all attendees.
国家公园管理局将在游览当天上午8:30开始，在白宫游客中心外按先到先得的原则发放门票。
Timed tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis by the National Park Service on the days of the garden tours beginning at 8:30 a.m. outside the White House Visitor Center.
