　　The Great Wall 万里长城

　　The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. The entire wall, which has many branches, is about 8800 kilometers long. It stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. 万里长城是世界上最伟大的奇观之一。有许多支线的整个城墙大约有8800千米。它从东部的山海关延伸到西部的嘉峪关。

　　The construction was begun during the Warring States Period, which was about 2500 years ago. The states of Qin, Wei , Zhao, Qi, Yan and Zhongshan all built walls to protect their people. The first emperor, Qin Shihuang, joined all these smaller walls together to make the Great Wall.

　　这个伟大的建筑始建于2500年前的战国时期。秦国、魏国、赵国、齐国和中山国都建立城墙去保护他们的人民。中国第一个皇帝，秦始皇，把所有小的城墙连在一起建成了万里长城。

　　These early walls that were made of packed earth and wood wore away in the rain and wind. Little of that wall remains. Most of the wall that can be seen today was built during the Ming dynasty. It was made of stone and brick that would last longer.

　　这些早期由成袋的土和木头建立的城墙在风雨中磨损了。只有很少的一部分保存下来。现在看见的大部分城墙都是明朝时建立的。它是由经久耐用的石头和砖块制成的。

　　The Great Wall was first built by ancient people to separate them from their enemies. Those Ming dynasty rulers did not expect that it would later be used to bring tourists into China. It is said that one who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The Great Wall is a treasure of Chinese civilization and it is regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation.

　　古代人建立万里长城是为了把他们和敌人分离开来。那些明朝的统治者们不曾设想到后来万里长城为中国带来游客。常言道不到长城非好汉。万里长城是中华文明的瑰宝并且它被看作中华民族的象征。

　　The home of tea, which has more than 4000 years of history, is China. People throughout China drink tea daily. Of the three major drinks –tea, coffee and cocoa – tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea from China, along with silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.

　　中国是茶的故乡，有4000多年的历史。中国人每天喝茶。在三大主要饮品---茶、咖啡和可可中，茶是世界上饮用人数最多的饮品。和丝绸、瓷器一样，中国的茶叶在一千多年前就被世人所知，并且从那时起就一直是中国重要的出口产品。

　　The word for tea in different languages came from the Chinese character, “cha”. The English word, “tea”, sounds similar to the pronunciation of it in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The Russians call it “cha’i”, which sounds like “chaye” (tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China. The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese, though it is pronounced a little differently.

　　不同语言中的茶这个词都来自于汉字“茶”。英语单词“tea”的发音和福建省厦门“茶”的发音听起来相似。俄国人称茶为“cha’i”，听起来很像中国北方人发的“chaye”（茶叶）。虽然日本汉字“茶”和中国汉字“茶”在发音上有点不同，但在写法上完全一样。

　　Tea leaves are produced mainly in the south of China, because of the mild climate and rich soil there. Longjing, pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous teas. They’re produced in the provinces of Zhejiang, Yunnan and Fujian.

　　茶叶主要产自中国南方，因为那里气候温和、土壤肥沃。龙井、普洱、乌龙和铁观音都是名茶。它们产自浙江省、云南省和福建省。

　　Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture, including tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making and tea drinking. Tea is also a popular topic in dances, songs, poems and novels.

　　在过去的几个世纪，中国人就已经发展了独特的茶文化，包括种茶、摘茶、制茶和喝茶。茶在舞蹈、歌曲、诗歌和小说中也是一个广受欢迎的话题。

　　The Egyptian pyramids were built around 2560 B.C. The largest one of them is the Great pyramid of Khufu. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the world. The King, Khufu, built the Great Pyramid as his tomb. Studies show that it took 100 000 people over 20 years to complete it.

　　埃及金字塔建于大约公元前2560年。它们中最大的是胡夫金字塔。它是世界“七大奇迹”之一。国王，胡夫，建金字塔当作坟墓。研究表明金字塔花费十万人二十多年的时间建成。

　　The Great Pyramid was considered a unique building in the 19th century A.D. At that time, it was still the tallest building in the world. According to scientific research, the ancient King, Khufu, ordered his men to build the Great Pyramid stone by stone. The biggest stone weighs as much as 15 tons. Each stone was fixed so well, though the ancient workers didn’t have any modern tools. The Great Pyramid has four sides and each side is 230.4 meters long and 146.5 meters high. At that time, there were no modern machines or equipment, so how did the ancient Egyptians build the Great Pyramid? To this day, it is still a mystery. But many scientists continue to study their methods. The completion of the Great Pyramid shows the wisdom and the achievements of ancient Egyptian working people.

　　金字塔被认为是19世纪独特的建筑。在那时，它仍然是世界上最高的建筑。根据科学研究，古代的国王，胡夫，命令他的臣民用一块又一块的石头修建金字塔。最大的石头重达15吨。尽管古代工人没有任何现代的工具，每一块石头都被固定得如此好。金字塔有四个面而且每个面都是230.4米长和146.5米高。在那时，没有任何现代的工具和设备。那么，古代埃及人是如何建立金字塔的呢？到今天，这仍然是个谜。但是许多科学家继续研究他们的建筑方法。金字塔的完成展示了古代埃及劳动人民的聪明才智和伟大成就。
