第三篇：关于长城介绍英文导游词范文
The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world.
Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces――Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu and two autonomous regions――Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together.
Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC――1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368――1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today.
The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi Province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze.
A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall. At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night. Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications.
There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing.
Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First Pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan Pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911)
Jiayuguan Pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each.
Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages.
As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.

参考译文：
各位朋友，首先祝贺大家将要成为真正的“好汉”了，因为今天我们将登上北京的八达岭长城，真正领悟到“不到长城非好汉”的意境。
长城是中华民族的象征，是中国人的骄傲，这是世界上最长的古代防御性建筑。长城最早建于春秋战国时期，历经两千多年，它贯穿中国北部，蜿蜒曲折，气势磅薄，是从太空中能用人眼能看到的两处人类奇迹之一。大家都知道有首歌唱到：“万里长城万里长……”那么长城到底有多长呢?真有万里长吗?在中国的历史上只出现过一条万里长城呢?
中国历史上的万里长城可不止一条，其长度也不一样。最早的长城出现在春秋战国时期的齐国，称齐长城。紧接着，出现了楚长城。后来燕、赵、秦等国也纷纷建起长城，防御北方的少数民族。但这些长城的长度都没有超过一万里，所以不能被称为“万里长城”。中国历史上真正的万里长城出现在秦始皇统一中国以后。
公元前221年，秦灭六国，统一天下。为了能够保住江山，万世相传，刚刚登上皇帝宝座的秦始皇便派太子扶苏和大将蒙恬北上，将各国的长城连接、加固，并加以延长，从而形成了中国历史上第一条名符其实的“万里长城”。它绵延一万余里，史称秦长城。到了汉代，汉武帝一方面派大将军卫青、霍去病讨伐匈奴，另一方面又派张骞出使西域，对周围的少数民族地区采取恩威并重的策略。不仅如此，为了“不叫胡马度阴山”，不但加固了原有的秦长城，又在原秦长城以北筑了一条外长城，使得长城的长度达到近2万里。汉长城是我国历史上最长的长城。继汉以后，许多朝代都修过长城，在明朝之前只有两个朝代没有修过长城，您知道是哪两个朝代吗?
历史上，唐朝和元朝没有修过长城，原因是大唐国力强盛，外交成功，外藩称臣，长城存在的区域两侧都是大唐国土，所以没有修过长城。元朝是蒙古人建立的王朝，是以武力征服全球的强国，也是我国历史上版图最大的国家，谁人敢犯?再加上蒙古人就是自长城以北打进中原，又何必自筑高墙自断其路呢?
历史上最后一次大规模修长城的朝代是明朝，明太祖从蒙古人手中夺取政权，定都南京，为了加强边防，抵御蒙古残余势力的侵犯，故在继位后便派大将徐达及四皇子朱棣，北上修筑长城。明代共大修长城十八次，先后历时150多年，才大功告成，这就是东起山海关，西到嘉峪关的这一段明长城，全长12700多里，这便是我们今天所说的万里长城。
今天，长城再也不是军事防御措施了，而成为连接世界人民友谊的纽带。1987年，联合国教科文组织将长城列入《世界文化遗产目录》。

You have seen the three main halls of the Forbidden City.
Now I` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route.
The first is the Treasure Hall.
This mansion is called the Hall of Imperial Zenith.
This is where Sing Emperor Quailing lived after abdication.
Nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the Golden Hair Tower is one of the most famous.
This tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .
It was built under the order of Emperor Quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother.
There is also a “Day harnessing Water Jade Hill ” on display here.

This jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in China.
This mat was woven with peeled ivory.
These artifacts are among China` s rarest treasures.

Erected in 1773,it is 3.5 meters in height and 29.4 meters in width.
Underneath is a foundation made of marble .
The surface of the screen is laid with a total of 270 colored, glazed tiles in the design of 9 dragons ,some rocky mountains ,clouds and the sea.
It was meant to ward off evil spirits The ancient Chinese regarded 9 dragons, some rocky mountains, clouds and the sea.
It was meant to ward off evil spirits .
The ancient Chinese regarded 9 as the largest numeral and the dragon as a auspicious beast .
The 9 dragons are different in color and posture and all are made of glazed tiles.
Interestingly a piece of the third dragon from the left is made of wood.
It is believe that when the Nine-dragon Screen was almost finished ,a piece of glazed tile was damaged .
Emperor Qianlong was scheduled to inspect the work the following day .
Using quick wits, the craftsman in question molded the missing piece with clay and sailed through the imperial inspection.
Later ,he asked a carpenter to carve a wooden one to replace the one made of clay.
Behind the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial Garden.
There are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .
It cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the Forbidden City.

However, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration.
Woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.
There main structure of the Imperial Garden is the Qin` an Hall.

The hall sits on a marble pedestal.
The Taoist deity of Zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis.
Taoist rites were held during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

To the northwest of the hall , there is the Yanhui Pavilion and to the northeast there lies the Duixiu Hill.
This Hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed Guanhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty.
It is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province.
At its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth.
There are meandering paths leading to the hilltop.
At the top of Duixiu Hill sits the Yujing Pavilion.
Traditionally, On the day of the Double Ninth Festival , the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to Yujing Pavilion to enjoy the scenery.
At the southeastern corner of the Garden is Jiangxue Verandah.
Nearby to the southwest lies Yangxing Study .
The yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi once studied English there.
In front of the Jiangxue Verandah some Chinese flowering crabapples grow.
The structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white.
In front of the Verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna Province under the order of Empress dowager Cixi.

As our tour of the Forbidden City draws to a close, I hope that I have helped you understand why the Palace is a treasure of China and one of the cultural relics of the world.
It is under the strict protection of the Chinese government.
Since 1949 when the people` s Rupublic of China was founded, nearly one trillion RMB was spent on its restoration and refurbishment.
The Forbidden City has undergone four major facelifts to date.
Each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics.
The Palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics.
Well, so much for today .
Let` s go to reboard the coach.
Thank you !
