老外游长城，感慨不到长城非好汉-旅游英语情景口语

对话

中国有句俗话叫“不到长城非好汉”，就是因为这句话，中外游客到北京必到长城游览一番，老外亨利终于登上了长城后的感慨及与朋友讨论长城。

亨利：

I had known about the Great Wall since I was a child, and I finally get to see it in person today.

我从小就知道中国有万里长城.今天终于亲眼见到了.

凯特：

They say： "You are not a hero unless you climb on the Great Wall." You are a hero now.

俗话说："不到长城非好汉".你今天终于也成好汉了.

亨利：

Yeah! The Great Wall is indeed great. To build walls amongst high mountains is not too easy.

是啊.长城确实了不起.在这么高的山脉中修筑起这么雄伟的城墙真不容易.

凯特：

The Great Wall was made of earth first and rebuilt with bricks during the Ming Dynasty, which is what we see now.

长城原来是用土修筑起来的.到了明代才改建了砖石结构.就是我们现在看到的这样.

亨利：

Was it used for defense purpose in the past?

早先修长城完全是为了防御吧?

凯特：

Yeah, but during the Qing Dynasty, it slowly lost its original function.

是的.不过到了清代逐渐丧失了防御作用.

亨利：

Oh, I see.

哦.我知道了.
