休闲对话：万里长城永不倒

Bob: Mr. Smith, welcome to Beijing,China.

史密斯先生，欢迎来到中国北京。

Mr. Smith: Thank you for meeting me in the airport,Bob,this is my first time to visit China.

鲍勃，谢谢你来机场接我，这是我第一次来中国。

Bob: You are welcome.Let’s start for the hotel first.

你太客气了，我们先去酒店吧。

Mr. Smith: OK, I heard there is an old Chinese saying that “he who does not visit the Great Wall is not a real man". Is it right?

好的，我听说中国有这样一句话：“不到长城非好汉!”对吗?

Bob: Yeah, it is about the Great Wall. The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human being! If you come to China without climbing The Great Wall,just as well as you come to Paris without visiting The Iron Tower, come to Egypt without visiting The pyramids!

是的，这说的就是长城。中国的长城是人类文明史上最伟大的建筑工程，如果没有到长城就等于没有到中国，就像到了巴黎不去看艾尔铁塔，到了埃及怎么能不看金字塔一样。

Mr. Smith: Can you say something about it in details?

你能跟我详细说说吗?

Bob: The Great Wall is a great miracle in China, it has eight passes:Shanhaiguan,Juyongguan,Zijingguan,Yanmenguan,Niangziguan,Piantouguan,Jiayuguan and Yumenguan. The Great Wall of China is the only manmade object visible from space.

长城是我国伟大的奇迹，它有八大关:山海关、居庸关、紫荆关、雁门关、娘子关、偏头关、嘉峪关和玉门关，是太空上唯一可见的人造建筑。

Mr. Smith: What a great miracle! Let us start for it as soon as possible.

真是伟大的奇迹!我们尽快去那吧。
