一 : 北京长城英文导游词
The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces-Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu--and two autonomous regions--Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together.
Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC--1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368--1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today. The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi Province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze. A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall. At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night.
Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications. There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First Pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan Pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911) Jiayuguan Pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each. Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages. As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.

导游词是导游沿途讲解的介绍词,包括导游欢迎词,景点介绍词,导游欢送词等。其主要特点是口语化,此外还具有知识性、文学性、礼节性等特点。下面是小编给大家分享的有关导游词的资料,仅供参考。欢迎关注留学网更多相关信息。
各位游客,现在我们的汽车正行驶在八达岭高速公路上,马上就要进入即将参观的八达岭景区。前面的那座山就是军都山,八达岭长城就盘踞在这座山上。在春秋战国时期,我国古代人民就已经开始修建长城了,那个时候诸侯争霸,为了保护自己的领地不被侵犯,所以在各自的边界上纷纷修筑了长城,叫做互防长城。
而我国曾经出现了3个修筑长城的高峰,分别是秦长城,汉长城,明长城。秦始皇在公元前221年统一中原,建立了秦王朝,为了加强统治,防御北方游牧民族的入侵,所以派大将蒙恬30万军队和很多劳力将原来北方的燕、赵、秦长城连了起来,并加以扩充,历时9年修筑了一条西起临洮东到辽东绵延万里的长城,这也就是中国历史上第一道万里长城。到了汉朝,汉武帝也是为了加强防御,“不叫胡马度阴山”,修筑了一条近两万里的长城,同时这也保护了新开发的丝绸之路,汉长城是秦长城的一道前沿阵地和防线,它西起新疆,东到辽东,是中国历史上修筑长城最长的朝代。而明长城则是中国历史上修筑长城的最高峰,工程之大,技术之精是独一无二的。当年朱元璋在统一全国建立明王朝的过程中,采纳了“高筑墙,广积粮,缓称王”的建议。当时元朝虽然已经灭亡,但是还保持着比较完整的军事实力,加上逐渐崛起的女真族的不断侵扰,所以开始修筑长城。明朝大规模修筑长城达到了18次之多,到了明朝末年才基本完工,东起辽宁丹东鸭绿江边的虎山,西到甘肃嘉峪关的明长城全长6350公里。明长城具备3个特点,筑构完备,管理完善,布局严密。而我们今天所看到的八达岭长城就是明长城的一部分。而长城在我国古代最原始的目的虽然是防御,但是它同时还起到了其他的作用。第一就是军事作用,第二则是经济作用,它不仅促进了屯田的开发和北疆经济的发展,而且也是中原的百姓安居乐业,第三是促进了各民族的融合。此外,它还保护了通讯和促进了对外开放。值得一提的是,在我国古代,不仅仅只有这三次修筑长城的经历,据统计,在上下两千年里,先后有20多个诸侯国和封建王朝都修建过长城,有人做过粗略的计算,如果将长城改建成一道高5米,厚1米的大墙,绕地球10圈儿多都有富裕。著名的民间传说:烽火戏诸侯和孟姜女哭长城也是发生在万里长城上的。如今,长城在经过几次修整之后,基本恢复了以往的面貌,在1987年被联合国教科文组织列入《世界文化遗产名录》,而且它还是当今世界上最长的防御性城墙!遍布了我国十六个地区,全长达到了10。8万里。
刚才我们所经过的路,就位于关沟中。关沟是燕山山脉和军都山山脉的交会处,南起昌平区南口镇,西北到延庆县八达岭长城的城关,全长40里。是中原地区通往西北高原的咽喉要道。明代在这里布置了四道防线,分别是南口关,居庸关,上关,八达岭。在关沟中的叠翠山上,曾有金代著名的燕京八景之一:居庸叠翠,可惜现在景观已经不复存在了。
刚才我们所看到的那条铁路就是由我们中国人自己设计建造的第一条铁路,由詹天佑设计的京张铁路。因为八达岭地区地势复杂,技术难点很多,所以詹天佑所设计的人字型铁路,成功解决了火车不能直接爬坡和转弯的难题,而打通长达1091米的隧道也令中外人士叹服。现在在青龙桥火车站树立的铜像就是詹天佑的,还有纪念碑。
关沟因为居庸关而著名,我们可以看到前面宏伟的建筑就是居庸关,它的名字起源于秦朝,以秦始皇迁徙“庸徒”在这里居住所以得名。在关内,有1个著名的汉白玉石台,就是云台。它是元代的一坐过街塔,上边原来有三座藏式佛塔,在后来的地震中毁坏了。明代又在原处]建立了泰安寺,而在康熙年间又被毁了,只留下现在我们所看到的柱础和望柱。云台的面积有310平方米台下的券门上刻有狮、象、四不[www.61k.com)象、金翅鸟等浮雕,分别代表了佛教密宗五方五佛的座骑,还有天龙八部护法天神的浮雕。内壁上还有4大天王浮雕和神兽图案,券顶上还布满了曼陀罗的图样,花中刻有佛像,共2215尊。还有6种文字镌刻的《陀罗尼经咒》和《造塔功德记》,这些都是元代的艺术精品,具有很高的艺术价值。
八达岭长城是明长城中的杰出代表,因为这里四通八达,故成为八达岭。可能大家会问,为什么要讲长城修筑在这里?其实这主要是因为八达岭地区重要的地理位置。它不仅守卫着明皇陵,而且也是京师的西北大门。
八达岭长城是历史上许多重大事件的见证,例如萧太后巡幸,元太祖入关,慈禧太后西逃等等,八达岭都是毕竟之路。说到这里,还有1个故事要讲给大家:位于关城东门路旁,有一块巨石,传说在1900年八国联军攻入北京,慈禧在西逃的途中经过这里,曾经站在这块石头上回望京城,所以这块石头也就被叫做望京石。但现在这块石头已经不那么突出了。
有一句话大家一定都知道:不到长城非好汉。刚才介绍了那么多景观,您一定急切的想来到景区游览一番,不用着急,马上您也要成为好汉了。好,这里就是著名的八达岭长城远处是壮丽的景色,而往下看就是长城重要的组成部分翁城,他一般都修建在地形险要的交通要道上。翁城两门之间相距63.9米,西门匾额:北门锁钥,我在前面已经讲过了。东门的匾额为:居庸外镇,意思是居庸关外又一重镇。现在我们向右下放看,在登城口的南侧陈列着一门大炮,名为:神威大将军。是崇祯年间制造的。
八达岭长城有三台两墙组成,什么是三台两墙呢?现在就让我给大家来解释一下,三台分别是城台,敌台,其中城台构造的非常简单,只是驻守的官兵避风寒的地方。那敌台的构造相对就要复杂一些,分为两层,下层是由田,井,回,等字形组成,上层有垛口和望孔是观察军情和射箭用的,所以这里也具有防御敌人的功能。
下面就到了烽火台,又称烽燧,狼烟台。是不和长城相连的独立建筑。一旦敌人来犯,就点燃烽火通报军情,古人奖白天点燃的烟叫做烽,晚上的叫做燧。明朝之际,还对烽火与敌人的关系作了严格的规定:敌人百余个,燃一烟点一炮;五白人,燃两烟点两炮;千人以上,三烟三炮;五千人以上,四烟四炮;万人以上,五烟五炮。就通过这种方式,在边关的军情能够飞速的传递到皇城大内。
说完了三台,下面就来说一下两墙。长城外侧的高墙叫做牒墙,有垛口是用来防御敌人的。而内侧不足一米高的则叫作女儿墙,也叫做宇墙。在最开始长城内侧是没有女儿墙的,可是经常有人会跌下山崖,所以就修建了这道墙。在长城墙根的地方每隔不远就有1个小水沟,雨天之际由吐水嘴向外排水,以免水冲刷城墙。而长城的墙体里面使用石头块铸成的,外边砌上砖,再在上面铺上石板,从而使建筑非常牢固!
