2015年公共英語四級作文范文：長城
In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.
Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners.
Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99,999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass.
In addition to the above-mentioned stories about the construction of the Great Wall, there are also plenty of stories about current scenic spots. A famous one is the legend of the Beacon Tower. This story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). King You had a queen named Bao Si, who was very pretty. King You liked her very much, however Bao Si never smiled. An official gave a suggestion that setting the beacon tower on fire would frighten the King's subjects, and might make the queen smile. King You liked the idea. The subjects were fooled and Bao Si smiled at the sight of the chaos. Later enemies invaded Western Zhou, King You set the beacon tower on fire to ask for help. No subjects came to help because they had been fooled once before. Thus, King Zhou was killed by the enemy and Western Zhou came to an end.
Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wall help to keep alive Chinese history and culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall, many more stories were created and spread.
在中國的北部,是一個6700公里(4161英里)古老的墻�，F(xiàn)在眾所周知的中國的長城,它開始在甘肅省的嘉峪關(guān)傳遞在西部和結(jié)束在河北省山海關(guān)。作為世界八大奇跡之一,中國的長城已成為中華民族及其文化的象征。
許多美麗的傳說和故事發(fā)生后沿著長城建設(shè),并從那時起這些故事已經(jīng)遍布全國。那些發(fā)生在施工期間豐富,如孟姜女的故事和傳說的嘉峪關(guān)。孟姜女的故事是最著名的和廣泛傳播的所有關(guān)于長城的傳說。這個故事發(fā)生在秦朝(公元前221年-公元前206年)。它告訴如何孟姜女的痛苦的哭泣使一段長城的崩潰。孟姜女的丈夫風(fēng)扇Qiliang被聯(lián)邦官員,建造長城。孟姜女從他什么也沒聽見他離開后,所以她開始找他。不幸的是,她到達(dá)了長城的時候,她發(fā)現(xiàn)她的丈夫已經(jīng)死了。聽到這個壞消息,她哭了她的心。她嚎叫的崩潰導(dǎo)致長城的一部分。這個故事表明,長城是成千上萬的中國平民的生產(chǎn)。
另外一個傳說的嘉峪關(guān)告訴工人叫易建聯(lián)Kaizhan明代(1368 bc - 1644 bc)精通算術(shù)。他計算出需要99999磚建造嘉峪關(guān)傳遞。主管不相信他,說如果他們甚至錯誤的一個磚,然后所有的工人會受到懲罰做努力工作三年了。項目完成后,一個磚留下Xiwong城門。主管很高興看到磚和準(zhǔn)備懲罰他們。不過易建聯(lián)Kaizhan表示與深思熟慮,磚是由一個超自然生命修復(fù)城墻。一個小小的舉動會導(dǎo)致柏林墻的倒塌。因此,磚被關(guān)在那里,一動也不動。今天仍然可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在塔上的嘉峪關(guān)。
除了上述建造長城的故事,也有很多故事當(dāng)前景區(qū)。一個著名的傳說是一個烽火臺。這個故事發(fā)生在西周(公元前11世紀(jì)-公元前711年)。你有個皇后叫寶Si,國王非常漂亮。保王你非常喜歡她,然而Si從來沒有笑了。官方給個建議,點燃烽火臺的會嚇著國王的臣民,并可能使女王微笑。王你喜歡這個主意。受試者騙保和Si笑著看著眼前的混亂。后來敵人入侵西周,國王你點燃烽火臺,尋求幫助。沒有主題來幫助,因為他們已經(jīng)被騙過一次。因此,周被敵人殺死了國王和西周結(jié)束。
美麗的故事和傳說長城有助于維持中國的歷史和文化。在每個王朝修建長城后,更多的故事是創(chuàng)建和傳播。
