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>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。
He is really the pride of China.

His last ocean journey was more than half a century earlier than Columbus’ first journey to America. 因为从1405年到1433年，作为船长和朝廷命官，他领导了七次航海之行。那时指南针在他的航行中起了重要作用。他甚至成功航行到了非洲东海岸。他的最后一次航行比哥伦布发现美洲大陆之行早半个多世纪。

In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missiles. From then on, he was in charge of developing China’s missile, rocket and spacecraft research programs. He was a pioneer in these related fields and was honored as “The Father of China’s Missiles”. He is the pride of the Chinese People.他对中国的导弹和航天工程做出了重要贡献。当他在1955年回国时，我国的航天研究几乎是一片空白。1956年，他建立了第一个火箭和导弹研究所。从那时起，他主管中国的导弹，火箭和宇宙飞船的研究项目。他也是这些相关领域的先驱，被誉为“中国导弹之父”。他是中国人的骄傲。
He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but he is a man who still encourages Chinese youth. His devotion to his country was expressed in his saying, “My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China !” When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, “My family name is Qian, but I don’t like qian.”钱学森于2009年10月31日去逝，享年98岁。但他仍然鼓励着中国年轻人。他对国家的贡献从他的话语中体现:“我的事业在中国，我的成功在中国，我的归宿在中国!”当有人说如果他留在美国能够赚到更多的钱时，他笑了笑说:“我是姓钱，但我不爱钱。”

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809. His mother died when he was ten years old. Later his family moved to Illinois and his father remarried. The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln’s stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.亚伯拉罕·林肯1809年出生在肯塔基州。当他九岁时他的母亲去逝了。后来他家搬到了伊利诺伊州并且它的父亲再婚。家里很穷，所以他们必须为了生存而奋斗。在伊利诺伊州，既没有老师，也没有学校，但是林肯的继母鼓励他学习。在工厂工作时他学会了读书和写字。
At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him , “ Honest Abe”. 21岁时，林肯离开了家。他很快获得了一个法律执照并成为一个律师。人们信任他并开始称他为“诚实的亚伯”。
During the following years, he took a more active part in politics. Soon he was not only a highly respected lawyer but also a well-known politician. He was elected the sixteenth president of the United States in 1861, and in the same year the Civil War broke out.在以后的一些年里，他积极参加政治活动。他不仅是一个受人尊重的律师而且是一个有名的政治家。在1861年他当选为美国第十六任总统，在同一年，内战爆发。
The Civil War was between the southern states that wanted to leave the union and form their own country, and the northern states that wanted to keep all the states as one country. The southern states wanted to keep the laws that allowed them to own slaves. Both the northern states and President Lincoln wanted to get rid of those laws. On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended and all slaves were set free.战争是在南方的一些想脱离联邦政府并建立他们自己国家的州与北方想统一的州之间发生的。南方各州想保留允许他们拥有奴隶的法律。北方各州和林肯总统都想解除这些法律。在1865年4月9日，内战结束并且所有的奴隶获得释放。

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。

The Monkey King is my favorite character in Chinese literature. He is a hero in the novel called Journey to the west, which is one of the four classic novels of Chinese literature. 在中国文学中，我最喜欢的人物是孙悟空。他是中国古典四大名著之一《西游记》中的英雄。

Maybe you’re right, but I prefer the Monkey King. He is funny and clever. 也许你是正确的，但是我更喜欢孙悟空。他既有趣，又聪明。

(Steve and his Chinese teacher, Miss Yang, are now visiting a literary society. )(史蒂夫和他的语文杨老师正在参加文学社。)
Look, Miss Yang! A picture of Li Bai. I read his poem Still Night Thoughts last night. It was easy to understand and very moving. Do you know anything about his life and poetry?
看，杨老师！一张李白的图片。昨天晚上我读了他的诗《静夜思》。它非常容易理解而且很感人。你了解他的生活和诗吗？
Yes, Li Bai lived during the Tang dynasty. He is considered to be one of the best romantic poets in China. In his lifetime, he wrote a lot of poetry. More than 900 of his poems are still read today. 是的，李白生活在唐朝。他被认为是中国最好的浪漫主义诗人之一。在他一生中，他写了许多诗，900多首他的诗现在仍然被传诵。
The passage I read about him said that he was as great as the British poet William Shakespeare. Look, there is his picture.
我读的那篇文章说他像英国诗人莎士比亚一样伟大。看，他的图片在这儿。
I agree. Li Bai and Shakespeare were both very important poets. You know that Shakespeare was also a famous playwright. Many of his plays were about British history while others were comedies and tragedies. His most famous dramas were about the dark side of human nature. Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet are examples of these kinds of plays.
我同意这种看法。李白和莎士比亚都是非常重要的诗人。你知道莎士比亚也是一个著名的剧作家。他的许多剧作都是关于英国历史的，而其他一些是喜剧和悲剧。他最出名的戏剧是关于人类本性的黑暗面，《哈姆雷特》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》都是这种戏剧。
Yes. Romeo and Juliet is very popular around the world, and one of the saddest scenes in this play in when Juliet kisses Romeo and then dies. 是的。《罗密欧与朱丽叶》在全世界都很受欢迎，这部剧中最悲惨的场景之一就是朱丽叶吻了罗密欧然后死去了。

William Wordsworth was one of the leading British poets from 1800 to 1850. He grew up in the Lake District in the northwest English. His parents died when he was a child, and his life with his grandparents was not very happy. To feel better, he loved to go for long walks in the mountains or to take boat rides. He had a strong imagination, and wrote poems about the power, beauty, and mystery of nature.
威廉·华兹华斯是1800年至1850年间英国的杰出诗人之一。他在英国西北部的湖区长大。当他很小的时候，父母就去世了，而且他与祖父母的生活并不愉快。为了感觉好一些，他喜欢到山上去远足或划船旅行。他有丰富的想象力，并且写关于自然的力量、美和奥秘的诗歌。
After he graduated from Cambridge University, he moved to France. A few years later, he returned to the Lake District and began to write poems about nature. He often created his poems during long walks. And then he told them to his sister, Dorothy, who wrote them down for him. Unlike other poets before him, Wordsworth used simple language in his poems, and he described the lives of common people. In one poem, Wordsworth explained how happy he was each time he saw a rainbow.从剑桥大学毕业后，他搬到了法国。几年后，他又回到了湖区并且开始写关于自然景物的诗歌。他经常在长行过程中创造诗歌。然后他把这些诗告诉他的妹妹，萝西，她为他把诗写下来。不像他之前的其他诗人，华兹华斯在他的诗歌中使用简单的语言，并且他描述普通人的生活。在他的一首诗中，华兹华斯解释他每次见到彩虹是多么快乐：
My heart leaps up when I behold 我一见彩虹高悬天上，
A rainbow in the sky; 心儿就跳荡不止；
So was it when my life began; 以前小时候就是这样；
So it is now I am a man; 如今长大了还是这样；
So be it when I shall grow old, 以后我老了也要这样；
Or let me die! 否则，不如死！
The Child is father of the Man; 儿童乃是成人的父亲；
And I could wish my days to be 我可以指望，我一世光明，
Bound each to each by natural piety. 自始至终贯穿对自然的虔敬。

Graduation Ceremony毕业典礼
A graduation ceremony is a custom which takes place when students graduate from a school. The ceremony is usually held in a big hall or in the open air.当学生们毕业时，举行毕业典礼是一种习俗。典礼通常在一个大厅或者户外举行。
During the ceremony, it is common for several students to give speeches, and so do the principal and some teachers. Then each graduate receives a diploma. It shows that the student has successfully completed all the courses or has passed the examinations. After the ceremony, students often chat with their teachers, friends and relatives who come to congratulate them. They also take photos with one another and talk about their future.在典礼期间，通常是一些学生发表演讲，校长和一些老师也会讲话，然后每个毕业生将得到一张毕业文凭。它表明该学生已顺利完成课程或通过考试。在典礼之后，学生们通常和他们的老师们、朋友们以及来祝贺他们的亲人们聊天。然后他们互相合影，并谈论将来。
The graduation ceremony is exciting because it marks the end of a period in a student’s school life. It is also sad, because the time when they studied with friends has come to an end. Graduation means change, and leaving unforgettable faces and places behind. However, change always brings about new possibilities. 毕业典礼是令人激动的，因为它标志着一个学生在校生活的结束。它也是令人伤感的，因为与朋友们共同学习的时光结束了。毕业意味着改变，意味着把那些难以忘却的面容和地方都留在记忆深处。然而，改变总是带来新的机遇。
