武汉市简介及旅游景点中英对照

武汉市武汉市，简称汉，湖北省省会，因武昌、汉口、汉阳三地合称而得名，是中国中部地区中心城市。

武汉位于中国腹地中心、长江与汉江交汇处、江汉平原东部，是中部六省唯一的副省级城市，也是中部第一大都市。

世界第三大河长江及其最大支流汉江横贯市区，将武汉一分为三，形成武昌、汉口、汉阳跨江鼎立的格局。

唐朝诗人李白在此写下“黄鹤楼中吹玉笛，江城五月落梅花”，因此武汉自古又称“江城”。

武汉历来被称为“九省通衢”之地，是中国内陆最大的水陆空交通枢纽，中国的经济地理中心，国家重要的科技、工业、信息、产业、通信中心，内陆地区的金融、商业、贸易、物流、文化中心，被誉为世界开启中国内陆市场的“金钥匙”，经济发展的“立交桥”，具有承东启西、接南转北、吸引四面、辐射八方的区位优势。

Wuhan, composed of the three towns of Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, is the capital of Hubei Province. The three towns, separated by the Yangtze and Hanshui rivers, are linked by bridges, and because these municipalities are so closely connected by waterways, Wuhan is also called the "city on rivers." Being the largest inland port on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and a major stop on the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Wuhan is one of China‘s most important hubs of water and rail transportation and communications.Wuhan has an old history and rich cultural traditions. It began to prosper as a commercial town about two thousand years ago, when it was called Yingwuzhou (Parrot beach). From the first century to the beginning of the third century, the towns of Hanyang and Wuchang began to take shape. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the area became one of the most prosperous commercial centers along the Yangtze River. By the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Hankou had become one of the four most famous cities in China. Today, Wuhan is the political, economic, and cultural center of Central China. It boasts of one of China‘s leading iron and steel complexes -- the Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation. Wuhan is also a city with a strong revolutionary tradition.学校简介华中农业大学位于，中国最大的城市和交通枢纽中心武汉，是一所国家重点“211工程”教育部直属大学。
