你可能不相信埃菲尔铁塔最初是作为临时建筑建造的。该项目成立后，已确定与塔楼建设公约相关的许可权将仅持续20年，随后立即拆除。

然而，在世界博览会期间，有200万人参观了这座大楼。在取得这一令人难以置信的成功之后，该建筑成为法国工业强国的象征。
🍅The Tower was as equally as successful during the 1900 Universal Exposition. Determined to avoid the Tower’s destruction, Gustave Eiffel went to great lengths to prove its scientific utility.
在1900年世界博览会期间，塔楼同样成功。为了避免塔的破坏，古斯塔夫·埃菲尔竭尽全力证明其科学效用。
🍅Scientific experiments were conducted in the fields of astronomy and physiology but what would really save the Tower in the end was its use as a radio antenna tower, first for military communications and then for permanent, radiotelegraphy communications;
在天文学和生理学领域进行了科学实验，但最终真正拯救塔的是它作为无线电天线塔的用途，首先用于军事通信，然后用于永久性的无线电报通信;
🍅In fact, the Tower served many a purpose during the First World War. The Eiffel Tower is part of the French History.
事实上，这座塔在第一次世界大战期间有许多用途。埃菲尔铁塔是法国历史的一部分。
🍅The tower was built to sway slightly in the wind, but the sun affects the tower more. As the sun-facing side of the tower heats up, the top moves as much as 7 inches (18 centimeters) away from the sun.
这座塔是为在风中轻微摇晃而建造的，但太阳对这座塔的影响更大。当面向太阳的塔侧温度升高时，塔顶离太阳的移动距离高达7英寸（18厘米）。

法国有一个塔的绰号：la dame de fer，你可以把它翻译成“铁娘子”。

铁塔的顶层和二层是不同电梯（take the elevator）运行的，如果要登上顶层，到了第二层以后还是要跟大家一起排队再坐另一层电梯。夏季登顶一趟至少需要2个小时。其实铁塔真的可以走楼梯，但是只能走到第二层，一来费用便宜，二来排队人少，而且还能挑战下自己的体能（步行：go on foot）

🕵️世界之旅口语课-E4伦敦塔
欢迎来到英国伦敦，来到泰晤士河, 来到伦敦塔！Let’s hit the road!
💫The Tower of London
伦敦塔
🍅The Tower of London is a 900-year-old castle and fortress in central London that is notable for housing the crown jewels and for holding many famous and infamous prisoners.
伦敦塔是伦敦市中心一座有900年历史的城堡和要塞，以存放皇冠珠宝和关押许多著名和声名狼藉的囚犯而闻名。
🍅Throughout its history, the tower has served many purposes: it housed the royal mint (until the early 19th century), a menagerie (which left in 1835), a records office, an armory and barracks for troops. Until the 17th century, it was also used as a royal residence.
在其历史上，这座塔有许多用途：包括皇家铸币厂（直到19世纪早期）、动物园（1835年遗留下）、档案室、军械库和军队营房。直到17世纪，它还被用作皇家住宅。
🍅Throughout its history the tower was used to imprison a wide range of prisoners, from deposed monarchs to more common criminals. Prisoners included Lady Jane Grey, who was queen for about a week in the 16th century before she was deposed by Mary I.
在它的整个历史中，这座塔被用来关押各种各样的囚犯，从被废黜的君主到更普通的罪犯。囚犯中包括简·格雷夫人，她在16世纪被玛丽一世废黜前，曾做过大约一周的女王。
简·格雷夫人
🍅Also imprisoned there were two princes, Edward and Richard, ages 12 and 9, who were the sons of Edward IV (died 1483). They appear never to have left the tower alive and some thought they were killed by Richard III, their uncle who took the throne for himself.
还有两位王子被监禁，爱德华和理查德，12岁和9岁，他们是爱德华四世（死于1483年）的儿子。他们似乎从未离开过塔，有些人认为他们是被理查德三世杀死的，他们的叔叔自己登上了王位。
🍅The crown jewels are one of the most popular attractions at the Tower of London. The jewels include the crowns worn by the monarch at coronation and at the opening of Parliament.
皇冠珠宝是伦敦塔最受欢迎的参观点之一。这些珠宝包括君主在加冕礼和议会开幕时戴的皇冠。
皇冠珠宝
🍅The tower also contains an impressive collection of armor, which is a treasure unto itself. Shown in an exhibit called the “Line of Kings,” a show at the tower that first started more than 300 years ago, it features such items as a life-size wooden horse carved about 1690 and a set of armor, gilded with gold, created for Charles I around 1612.
这座塔还收藏了令人印象深刻的盔甲，它本身就是一件宝藏。在一个名为“国王之行”的展览中展出，这是300多年前首次在塔上举办的展览，它展示了一件1690年左右雕刻的真人大小的木马和一套镀金的盔甲， 1612年左右为查理一世制作。
盔甲
🍅Today, the Tower of London is one of the most famous castles in the world and is now a World Heritage Site attracting more than 2 million visitors a year. The main threat to the site today is not rebels, foreign armies or falling bombs but rather the exhaust of cars. It’s a problem that threatens to turn the White Tower into a yellow color, something which none of the previous threats could ever do.
今天，伦敦塔是世界上最著名的城堡之一，是世界遗产，每年吸引超过200万游客。 今天对该景点的主要威胁不是反叛分子，外国军队或坠落炸弹，而是汽车尾气。 这是一个有可能将白塔变成黄色的问题，这是以前的威胁都无法做到的。

🦄The Birth of Fujiyama: One famous tale about the creation of Mt. Fuji is a folklore about a woodsman who was awakened by a loud noise he thought was an earthquake. When he checked near his house he saw that in the land that used to be flat appeared a mountain. The woodsman was amazed by the mountain’s mysterious existence that he called it Fuji-yama or the Never-Dying Mountain. 富士山的诞生：关于富士山有一个著名的民间传说，讲的是一个樵夫被他认为是地震的巨响吵醒。当他在他家附近检查时，他发现原来平坦的土地上出现了一座山。这位樵夫对这座山的神秘存在感到惊奇，他称之为富士山或永垂不朽的山。
🦄Did you know that it is privately-owned? Yes, it is! May be you will get mixed-emotions when you hear the news but the mountain is actually owned by a person, and it is already a private property since 1609. 你知道它是私有的吗？是的，是的！也许当你听到这个消息时，你会有一种复杂的情绪，但是这座山实际上是一个人所有的，而且自1609年以来它已经是一个私人财产了。

欢迎来到美国拉斯维加斯，来到The Las Vegas Strip！Let’s hit the road!
💫The Las Vegas Strip
拉斯维加斯大道
🍅Las Vegas Boulevard -- the world-famous Las Vegas Strip -- is the central artery of Sin City and the main line to a majority of the city's best sights, gambling, food and fun.
拉斯维加斯大道——世界著名的拉斯维加斯大道——是罪恶之城的中心动脉，也是通往该城绝大多数最佳景点、赌博、美食和娱乐的主要线路。
🍅With neon signs and dancing fountains along an eight-mile stretch of awesome, the Strip delivers sensory overload.
沿着8英里长的令人敬畏的霓虹灯和舞蹈喷泉，拉斯维加斯大道提供了超负荷的感官。
🍅Once you pass the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign along Las Vegas Boulevard South, it won't be too long until you're cruising the Strip. Sin City's notorious artery acts as the epicenter of any Vegas getaway. Here you'll find Las Vegas' most iconic landmarks, including the Bellagio Fountains, the Eiffel Tower at Paris, Las Vegas, the pyramid and sphinx belonging to The Luxor and The Venetian's Grand Canal.
一旦您沿着拉斯维加斯大道南路经过“欢迎来到神话般的拉斯维加斯”标志，不久您就会游弋在拉斯维加斯大道上。 罪恶之城的臭名昭著的动脉是任何拉斯维加斯度假胜地的中心。 在这里您可以找到拉斯维加斯最具标志性的地标，包括贝拉吉奥喷泉，巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔，拉斯维加斯，金字塔以及属于卢克索和威尼斯大运河的狮身人面像。

🍅If you have the stamina, you can explore the Strip on foot – just make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Alternatively, the Deuce bus offers rides 24/7 from the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Vegas all the way to the southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard. The Monorail is another option, which travels from the MGM Grand and Sahara Avenue. You can also book a variety of guided tours, from helicopter rides to bar crawls.
如果你有耐力，你可以步行探索拉斯维加斯大道 - 只要确保穿舒适的鞋子。 另外，Deuce巴士每天24小时提供从拉斯维加斯市中心的弗里蒙特街体验到拉斯维加斯大道南端的全程游乐设施。 单轨列车是另一种选择，从米高梅大酒店和撒哈拉大道出发。 您还可以预订各种带导游的旅行，从直升机游览到酒吧爬行。
🍅Travelers say it's best to visit the Strip at night to see all the casinos and attractions light up in the desert. You can wander the Strip any time of day or night, but note that individual businesses feature their own operating hours. Be mindful of your surroundings (and your wallet) after dark – the last thing you want is to lose your winnings to a pickpocket.
游客们都说，最好是在晚上游览这片拉斯维加斯大道，看看沙漠里所有的赌场和景点都亮起来了。你可以在白天或晚上的任何时候在街上闲逛，但要注意的是，私营的店铺都有自己的营业时间。天黑后要留心周围的环境（和钱包），你最不想的就是把赢来的钱丢给扒手。

意大利是个宗教国家(Religious country)，很多艺术珍品是诞生并保存在教堂(大的叫Cathedral，小的叫Church)里的，所以参观教堂也是必修课之一。进教堂不可穿短裙、短裤或背心，特别是梵蒂冈的圣彼得教堂，在广场上入教堂的必经之路上有专人负责检视来客的服饰。所以，若当天有安排去教堂，而天气又酷热难当，请别忘了带上长裙、长裤和不露膀子的上装以备换。
