以下是 The New 7 Wonders of the World
投票网站上关于中国长城的英文与中文介绍:
The Great Wall of China was
built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system
and better keep invading Mongol tribes out of China. It is the
largest man-made monument ever to have been built and it is
disputed that it is the only one visible from space. Many thousands
of people must have given their lives to build this colossal
construction.
中国的万里长城是中国古代为抵御蒙古人入侵而建造的,它将已有的单个要塞连成一体,从而形成一个完整的防御体系。长城是世界上最大的人造工程,也是唯一可以从外太空看到的地球景观。为了修建巨大的长城,曾有上千万人为此献出了生命。
The New 7
Wonders of the World will be released soon. The Great Wall of China
is one of the candidates. It's the blood sweat and tears, it's the
power of civilization, it's the history of the nation,and it's the
pride of the globe. Please help us to vote for
it…Thanks!
