长城又称万里长城,是古代中国为抵御不同时期塞北游牧部落联盟的侵袭,修筑规模浩大的军事工程的统称。长城东西绵延上万华里,因此又称作万里长城。现存的长城遗迹主要为始建于14世纪的明长城,西起嘉峪关,东至虎山长城,长城遗址跨越北京、天津、青海、山西、内蒙等15个省市自治区,总计有43721处长城遗产。
参考译文
The Great Wall, also known as the ten thousand-meter wall, was made of sections of earlier fortifications joined together to form a united defense system against invasions from the north. The distance between the west and east amounts to ten thousand meters. Hence it is also known as the ten-thousand-meter wall. The current ruins of the Great Wall were mainly built in the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, which begins at Tiger Mountain in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west, and crosses 15 provinces or cities, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Qinghai, Shanxi Province, Inner Mongolia and others. There is a total of 43,721 heritages of the Great Wall.
第三篇
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。如果你到了中国却没去过长城,就想到了巴黎没有去看看菲尔铁塔,或者就像到了埃及没有去看金字塔一样。人们常说:“不到长城非好汉。”实际上,长城最初只是一些断断续续的城墙,直到秦朝统一中国后才将其连城长城。然而,今天我们看到的长城——东起山海关,西至嘉峪关——大部分都是在明代修建的。
参考翻译:
The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings! If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower; or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids! Men often say, "He who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great Wall" until the Qin Dynasty. However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.
