eijing, a huge, serrated wall zigzags it's way to the east and west along the undulating mountains. This is the Great Wall, which is said to be visible from the moon.
對西北地區和北京北部，一個巨大的，鋸齒狀壁曲折，它的方式向東、西沿起伏的山脈。這是長城，它是說是從月球上看到的。
Construction of the Great Wall started in the 7th century B.C. The vassal states under the Zhou Dynasty in the northern parts of the country each built their own walls for defence purposes. After the state of Qin unified China in 221 B.C., it joined the walls to hold off the invaders from the Xiongnu tribes in the north and extended them to more than 10,000 li or 5,000 kilometers. This is the origin of the name Of the "10,000-li Great Wall".
長城的建設開始於公元前第七世紀在周朝諸侯國在該國北部地區建立自己的牆壁，用於國防目的。秦國統一中國後，於公元前221年，它加入了牆壁，把侵略者從匈奴部落在北美和擴展到10000多個鋰或5000公里。這是名稱由來的“長城””。
The Great Wall was renovated from time to time after the Qin Dynasty. A major renovation started with the founding of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, and took 200 years to complete. The wall we see today is almost exactly the result of this effort. With a total length of over 6,000 kilometers, it extends to the jiayu Pass in Gansu Province in the west and to the mouth of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east. What lies north of Beijing is but a small section of it.
長城是裝修後不時秦朝。一項重大革新始於明代開國1368，並花了200年時間完成。今天我們看到的長城幾乎是這一努力的結果。與總長度超過6000公里，它延伸到嘉魚在甘肅省西部和鴨綠江的遼寧省的東。北京不過是它的一小部分。
