两篇英语文章概括(120词左右)
一:
No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometre-long Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20% of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80% is in dander.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to protect it,the Great Wall will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historical site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years.It began in the rule of China’s first emperor,Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty ,and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by countryside people to build their houses,sheep corrals and pigsties.Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people’s names were put away as remembrances.Rubbish was spread over the battlements.The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name,but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried of the Wall but also dug the entire base.
二:
When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所).I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses,because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice,but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said,“because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English,and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’,because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’,which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’,because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a large hole.
一:The 2000-year-old Great Wall is being destroyed by people and we should do something to protect it.The Great Wall is being destroyed for various purposes and it will take a long time for people to understand its cultural meaning.
二:Some of my Spanish friend mistook several English words for their Spainish counterparts when they were visiting England and came back with funny stories.
