中轴线的英语

作为旨在培养学生语言交际能力的高中英语对话课,是整个高中英语教学中一个必不可少的重要组成部分。我精心收集了二人3分钟旅游英语对话，供大家欣赏学习!

Lily：

Where are we? Have you been paying attention?

我们现在站在什么地方?你注意到没有?

Tom：

Are we standing on the Jinshui Bridge? Tian'anmen Square and Qianmen are to the front of us while Tian'anmen and Taihe Hall are to the back.

我们不是站在金水桥上吗?前边有天安门广场、前门，后边是天安门、太和殿什么的。

Lily：

These buildings are in a line called the midline which is the central line of Beijing city.

这些门都在一条直线上，这条直线是北京城的中心线，叫中轴线。

Tom：

So it is a reflection of the central power in the city.

这显示出了紫禁城的中心地位。

Lily：

Yes, that's right. It is also a representation of the architectual strength of Beijing city as well.

嗯，你说得很对，从这里也可以看出北京城市建设的特点。

Lily：

The Summer Palace is one of the most famous Imperial Gardens. During various periods of war, it suffered extensive damagage.

颐和园是中国最著名的皇家园林之一。经过战乱，遭到过严重的破坏。

Tom：

It's a surprise that the Summer Palace is so well-preserved.

颐和园能保存得这么完好，完全出乎我的意料。

Tom：

Is that hill in the distance a part of the Summer Palace?

远处那座山也是颐和园的吗?

Lily：

No, that hill is called Yuquan Hill and isn't a part of the Summer Palace. The only hill that is a part of the Summer Palace is Wanshou Hill.

远处的那座山叫玉泉山，不在颐和园里边，在颐和园里只有一座山，就是万寿山。
