篇1:介绍美国旅游的

全文共 2423 字

+ 加入清单

很久以前,我就向往她,在梦里,我的心常漂洋过海来到那遥远的国度——美国。他的全名美利坚合众国,是由五十个州和一个联邦直辖特区组成的联邦共和制国家,东濒大西洋,西临太平洋,北靠加拿大,南接墨西哥,是一个多文化、多种族的国家。我们这次旅行便是其中的加利福尼亚州,加利福尼亚州位于美国西部,是美国经济最发达、人口最多的州。

在进入机场的一瞬间,我突然意识到,我马上要走了,要离开我生活了十二年的国家了,经过漫长的安检,终于来到了候机大厅,登机口前的人群像一条长龙,以极慢的速度向前蔓延着,我的心情非常激动,这是我第一次坐飞机,按捺不住兴奋急切的心情,我几乎飞着进了飞机。坐在座椅上,系好安全带,我甚至能依稀听见自己的心跳,不一会儿,飞机两旁的景物渐渐移动起来,接着,它们迅速地朝后方跑去。机翼微微向下翻转,飞机便像轻盈的小鸟一般腾空而起。景物渐渐变小,直到洁白的云层挡住了朦胧的视野。

经过十三个小时的漫长征程,汪洋不见了,取而代之的是大面积的陆地,“噔”地一下,飞机着陆了,随着乘务员富有磁性的声音,走过长长的通道,我踏上了美国的土地。

我的寄宿家庭女主人叫安,是一位善良而富有爱心的人,她有一头金黄色的头发,一双蓝色的眼睛,经常穿着休闲装,和蔼慈祥,安有四个孩子,其中两个还不到十岁,分别是艾丽和玛丽。安家的房子并不大,是用木材筑成的,冬暖夏凉,前院的一侧有一排挺拔的松树,虽然没有修葺,但十分整齐,绿茵茵的草地覆盖了前院,一只胖嘟嘟的小猫趴在草坪上打盹。房子后院与前院截然不同,全无小草的绿,而是水的蓝,清澈的水波在泳池里荡漾开来。“微风拂细柳,皎月映清泉”,用这句话形容后院再恰当不过了。每当晚饭过后,我便与艾丽和玛丽在泳池里游泳、玩水上排球。起先,在他们凌厉的攻势下,我屡屡失意,后来,我逐渐掌握了技巧,就是在拍球前一秒钟跳起来,这样便会得心应手,但是,后来他们使诈利用假动作,令我眼花缭乱,打的我措手不及。

在美国的这段日子里,我们通常吃西餐,安为我们做了两次中餐,她蒸米饭时总爱放类似于胡椒的调味品,安做的糖醋里脊味道鲜美,带有独特的异国风情,真是大饱口福。美国人的厨房极少见到油烟,他们通常烘烤或蒸煮食物。吃西餐也是很讲究的,当嘴里嚼着食物时,不要说话或喝水。用餐结束要把刀叉交插放在盘中……,刚开始很不习惯,但入乡随俗,尊重他们的饮食习惯。东西方的饮食习惯是截然不同的,东方的早餐一般喝粥,讲究养生,西方则有些“肆无忌惮”早餐很随意。东方人认为午饭是正餐,西方人则认为晚饭是正餐。而且,东方吃素食多,西方人以肉食为主。

每天最惬意得事情就是洗澡了,洗澡可以脱去烦恼,洗去疲惫,但是,当你裹着浴巾从热哄哄的浴室里出来时,千万别忘了,用毛巾把地板擦干净,因为美国人的卫生间是没有地漏的。

我们参观的第一个景点是环球影城,环球影城座落在洛杉矶的好莱坞,其代表建筑是门前银白色的地球。走进影城,我们游览的第一个项目是“未来水世界”,讲述的是一群水手运用智慧战胜海盗取得胜利的故事,场面十分壮观,据说,单是这一个摄影棚,就拍出了一部旷世之作,不能不感叹当今科技的发达啊!接着,我们乘坐游览车来到了由数百个摄影棚连成的城镇区。立刻让我感到耳目一新,高楼大厦,鳞次栉比,排列着各种风格的建筑物,建筑界的瑰宝济济一堂,仿佛是一座浓缩的世界,使人心旷神怡。游览结束后,我回过头想跟它说再见时,却惊讶地呆住了,在每个建筑物后,是一个个冰冷的铁架,而那些所谓的建筑物,都只是一层布,真是逼真至极,足以以假乱真了。

在惊讶之余,我们进了一个山洞,不时传来恐龙的嚎叫声,看见人类的头骨,整个山洞弥漫着恐怖的气息。突然,石壁上出现了许多恐龙,他们悠闲自在地生活着,场面温馨,可好景不长,霸王龙来了,安逸的生活别打破了,在霸王龙的撕扯下,游览车剧烈地摇晃起来,好像散架似得。最后,游览车拖着“残肢”冲出了山洞。

迪士尼乐园是我从小向往的地方。踏进大门,映入眼帘的是卡通人物,聪明的米奇,漂亮的米尼,憨厚的高飞,可爱的唐纳德,忠诚的布鲁托……。

一座高高的假山,里面是水的世界,这就是激流勇进了,我们搭上一条船,渐渐朝山顶驶去,山洞里是无边的黑暗,只有“嗒嗒”的闹钟声才知道时间在流逝。突然,措不及防地“轰”一下,船猛然俯冲了下去,淹没在水流中的尖叫声随着船一起冲下了假山……。

此外,雪山车也是十分刺激的,一条长长的隧道里有漫天的繁星,看起来像美丽的宇宙,我们坐在车中观赏美景,正当我陶醉在如花的宇宙中时,车子像离弦的箭一般冲了出去。此时,隧道不再是美丽的宇宙,而成了一个令人毛骨悚然的黑洞,车依旧飞奔着,但轨道却翻转了九十度,渐渐向下俯冲,直到前方出现了一丝亮光,“咚”地一声,我们被重重地抛出了隧道。

游完迪士尼我们来到了丹麦城,这里是当初殖民统治时期,丹麦人的领地,因时代保留了丹麦的生活方式和建筑风格而得名。这里高大的风车随处可见,使我不禁浮想联翩,广褒的草原上有白色的野花点缀,不时传来牧人的号角,牛羊在静静地吃草,“吱呀”转的风车旁,河水潺潺地流着……。丹麦城一行使我看到与美式不同的欧式建筑风格,我不禁感慨美国果然是一个多文化、多种族的国家啊!

最后一站我们来到了久负盛名的斯坦福大学,斯坦福大学是世界一流的学府,当初是为那些因贫困而上不起学的学生创办的。我很早就想一睹它的风光,今天终于如愿以偿了。黄色拱形大门掩映在万花丛中,微风拂面带来幽幽花香沁人心脾。斯坦福大学给人以古朴典雅,置身其中,连风中也带有幽幽古韵。参观完斯坦福后,我对他有了更深的了解。东西方文化的差异,使东西方的学府也各有不同,比如:斯坦福和清华大学,斯坦福的建筑以欧美风格为主,清华则是中西结合;斯坦福的教育是开发潜能,清华在这方面尚有欠缺;斯坦福的绿化多草与花,清华则是多树木

这次激情的美国之旅,不仅使我开阔了眼界,学到了知识,更使我了解了东西方文化的差异,真是一次难忘的旅行啊!

This past Independence Day, I saw two things that disturbed me greatly: First, people bashing America and its shortcomings; Second, people defending America blindly, while giving no thought to others’ criticisms. I’m a liberal and I more than acknowledge that there are problems with our country. Our executive branch is larger and more powerful than I’d like, our education system is broken, and our economic policy is not optimal for growth. I also know America has a lot of ugly secrets in its past. From the genocide of Native Americans to slavery to our foreign policy nightmare with Latin America in the early twentieth century, it’s easy to see why so many are angered by the jingoistic attitude that July 4th celebrations can incur. But I also recognize how remarkable of an achievement it was for those few men to break away, in the name of independence, and take a risk by establishing a democracy back in 1776. I also recognize that although the sins of our Founding Fathers were great, their accomplishments were greater, leaving a legacy of democracy and national sovereignty that would spread like wildfire throughout the world. The revolution was important and the ideals that this country was founded on, ideals of equality, respect for one another, and a commitment to progress, are ideals to be proud of, even if we don’t always live up to those ideals. I know many liberals hate to hear it, but the majority of the world is worse off than us, from third world countries to dictatorships, the world has got a lot of bad in it. And the much longer, more troubled histories of nations such as England have more mistakes and terrible acts in them than ours do. America has ideals and a commitment to democracy and freedom you can find nowhere else. Our spirit is strong and even if our government doesn’t live up to that spirit all the time, our citizens strive for it. Independence Day isn’t about petty squabbles and historical smear campaigns. This day is about celebrating our achievements and our ideals, acknowledging our mistakes, and reaffirming our commitment to make this country better so that, one day, those principles that the men who drafted our Declaration of Independence put forth, will be fully realized.

篇11:介绍故宫的英文

全文共 8212 字

What strikes one first in a birds -eye view of Beijing proper is a vast tract of golden roofs flashing brilliantly in the sun with purple walls occasionally emerging amid them and a stretch of luxuriant tree leaves flanking on each side. That is the former Imperial Palace, popularly known as the Forbidden City, from which twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for some 500 years——from1420 to 1911. The Ming Emperor Yong Le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made Beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1406 to 1420. At present, the Palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in China.

Located in the center of Beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. At each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.

The main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the Meridian Gate, the south entrance, to Shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. On either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. Symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six Eastern Palaces and in the northwestern section the six Western Palaces. The Palace area is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. At the rear of the Inner Palace is the Imperial Garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Meridian Gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "Son of the Heaven" and the Palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the Meridian line going right through the Palace. The gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the Five-Phoenix Towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. When the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. When he went to the Ancestral Temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius——benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).

At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the Hall of Supreme Harmony(4), the Hall of Complete Harmony(5), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony(6).

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the Palace complex. It is also Chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. This hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. On such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the Hall that extended all the way to the Meridian gate.

On the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "Golden Throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. The throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. In front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. The dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. The throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. High above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. The utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the Emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. The aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "Son of the Heaven" in awe and reverence.

The Hall of Complete Harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. Here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. It is followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.

Behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. The slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. It is the largest piece of stone carving in the Imperial Palace. Quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of Beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. To provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.

The three halls of the Inner Palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. They are the Palace of Heavenly Purity(7), the Hall of Union(8), and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility(9).

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was once the residence of the Ming emperors and the first two of the Qing emperors. Then the Qing Emperor Yong Zheng moved his residence to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. The promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. After the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.

The Palace of Union was the empresss throne room and the Hall of Earthly Tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. The west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.

The Imperial Garden was laid out during the early Ming dynasty. Hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. In he center of the garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace, a Daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. This type of roof was rare in ancient Chinese architecture. In he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the Hill of the Piled-up Wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. At the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. It is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. It is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.

The six Western Palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. They are kept in their original way for show. The six Eastern Palaces were the residences for them too. But now they serve as special museums: the Museum of Bronze, the Museum of Porcelain and the Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the northeastern-most section of the Inner Palace are the Museum of Traditional Chinese Paintings and the Museum of Jewelry and Treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.

Now the Forbidden City is no longer forbidding, but inviting. A visit to the Palace Museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient China.

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

The Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It also falls at the same time as a full moon, the new season, the fall harvest, the peak of Buddhist monastic asceticism, the rebirth of ancestors, and the assembly of the local community. During this month, the gates of hell are opened up and ghosts are free to roam the earth where they seek food and entertainment. These ghosts are believed to be ancestors of those who forgot to pay tribute to them after they died, or those who were never given a proper ritual send-off. They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment so that they are unable to swallow. Family members offer prayers to their deceased relatives, offer food and drink and burn hell bank notes and other forms of joss paper. Joss paper items are believed to have value in the afterlife,considered to be very similar in some aspects to the material world, People burn paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts. Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune. A large feast is held for the ghosts on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when people brings samples of food and places them on an offering table to please the ghosts and ward off bad luck.

In some East Asian countries today, live performances are held and everyone is invited to attend. The first row of seats are always empty as this is where the ghosts sit. The shows are always put on at night and at high volumes as the sound is believed to attract and please the ghosts. Some shows include Chinese opera, dramas, and in some areas, even burlesque shows. These acts are better known as "Merry-making".

For rituals, Buddhists and Taoists hold ceremonies to relieve ghosts from suffering, many of them holding ceremonies in the afternoon or at night (as it is believed that the ghosts are released from hell when the sun sets). Altars are built for the deceased and priests and monks alike perform rituals for the benefit of ghosts. Monks and priests often throw rice or other small foods into the air in all directions to distribute them to the ghosts.

During the evening, incense is burnt in front of the doors households. Incense stands for prosperity in Chinese culture, so families believe that there is more prosperity in burning more incense.[4]During the festival, some shops are closed as they want to leave the streets open for the ghosts. In the middle of each street stands an altar of incense with fresh fruit and sacrifices displayed on it.

Fourteen days after the festival, to make sure all the hungry ghosts find their way back to hell, people flow water lanterns and set them outside their houses (a practice that can be found amongst the Japanese during Obon). These lanterns are made by setting a lotus flower-shaped lantern on a paper boat. The lanterns are used to direct the ghosts back to the underworld, and when they go out, it symbolizes that they have found their way back.
