签10.颐和园昆明湖景区（昆明湖名称含义；西堤；东堤；湖中诸岛）
Kunming Lake covers the three quarters of the whole Summer Palace. the name of the lake came from “Kunming Pool” in Changan, made by Emperor Wu Di in the Han Dynasty for training his soldiers. Qing Emperor Qianlong just followed the example of Han Wu Di and gave the name Kunming Lake.
To the west of Kunming Lake, there is a long causeway on the Lake, which is called “West Dyke”, patterned after the Su Dyke in West Lake in Hangzhou. Along the Dyke there are six bridges separate the lake into two parts. The Jade Belt Bridge is the most beautiful bridge among the six bridges in the west dyke. Its high-arched body looks just like a jade belt,
hence its name Jade Belt Bridge. The three Chinese characters, “Yu Dai Qiao” was in Emperor Qianlong’s handwriting. Most of the name of the Bridges have been derived from ancient poems to describe the beautiful surroundings, such as the Lake Boudary Bridge, the Local Song Bridge, the Mirror Bridge, the White Sike Bridge and the Willow Bridge.
Compare with the West Dyke, there also have many beatiful scenic spots in the East Dyke, such as the 17-Arch Bridgem the Spacious Pavilion, the Bronze Ox, the Heralding Spring Pavilion and the Wen Chang Belvedere.
The 17-Arch Bridge is the largest bridge in the Summer Palace. It links East Dyke at its eastern end, and connect South Lake Island at its western end. It is 150 meters long and 8 meters wide with 17 arches. There are 544 stone lions in different sizes and postures carved on the top of the balusters. Seen from a distance, it looks like a rainbow hanging across the water on the lake. The 17-Arch Bridge was first built in 1750, and was imitation of Marco Polo Bridge, but this bridge is more beautiful and have more stone lions. The number 17 was adopted because when seen from either the left or right, the ninth arch is in the middle, and in the old days, the number nine was the lucky number and favorite number in Chinese numerals.
The South Lake Island is the biggest island on Kunming Lake. It is located on the eastern part of Kunming Lake and linked with the East Dike by the 17-Arch Bridge. On the northern part of the South Lake Island, there is a big hall with a platform in the front. This was the place where Empress Dowager Cixi watched the navy training on the lake. The Temple of the Dragon King was built on the south Lake Island. Inside the temple, there is a statue of the Dragon King.The Temple of the Dragon King was built here, not only with the purpose of decorating the island, but also to control water. It is said that in 1787 Emperor Qianlong, at the age of 80, came here in person to pray for rain. Soon after, rain poured down in torrents that night. The next day, the emperor came here again to have a big ceremony to show his thanks to the Dragon King. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the emoperor came to the Temple of the Dragon King every year in person or sent his high ranking official to come here to worship.
The Spacious Pavilion is the biggest extanted ornamental Pavilion in the Ancient garden of China. It is located at the eastern end of the 17-Arch Bridge. It’s an eight-sided and double-eaved pavillion with an area of over 300 square meters that provided a wide field of vision, so it got the name Spacious Pavilion.
To the east of the 17-Arch Bridge we can see a Bronze Ox. In ancient China, the
ox was used as a symbol of flood control. The 80-word “Golden Ox Inscription”, written by Emperor Qianlong was cast on the back of the Bronze Ox, just toexplain its presence.
Yelu Chucai was a famous politician of the Yuan Dynasty and also a famous Mongolian general. During his lifetime, he made great contributions to the preservation of China’s interests. Yuan Emperor put him in an important position in the Yuan Court. Yelu Chucai died in 1244, He was buried at the foot of Jar Hill, and a temple was built to commemorate
him. Yelu Chucai Temple consists of three parts: the coffin chamber of Yelu Chucai, the memorial halls and his stone statue.
Wen Chang Belvedere is a two-story tower building in the shape of a city gate. Inside the building, the bronze statue of the God of Literature Prosperity is enshrined.
篇三：Summer Palace颐和园的英文介绍
Summer Palace, an Imperial Garden in Beijing
The Summer Palace in Beijing – first built in 1750, largely destroyed in the war of 1860 and restored on its original foundations in 1886 – is a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces,
temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetaic value.
Long Description
The imperial Chinese garden, illustrated by the Summer Palace, is a potent symbol of one of the major world civilizations. The Summer Palace epitomizes the philosophy and practice of Chinese garden design, which played a key role in the development of this cultural form throughout the east.
Between 1750 and 1764 the Qing Emperor Qianlong created the Garden of Clear Ripples (Summer Palace), extending the area of the lake and carrying out other improvements based on the hill and its landscape. During the
Second Opium War (1856-60) the garden and its buildings were destroyed by the allied forces. Between 1886 and 1895 it was reconstructed by Emperor Guangxu and renamed the Summer Palace, for use by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was damaged in 1900 by the international expeditionary force during the suppression of the Boxer Rising and restored two years later. It became a public park in 1924.
The Summer Palace covers an area of 2.97 km2 , three-quarters of which is covered by water. The main framework is supplied by the Hill of Longevity and Kunming Lake, complemented by man-made features. It is designed on a
grandiose scale, commensurate with its role as an imperial garden. It is divided into three areas, each with its particular function: political and administrative activities, residence, and recreation and sightseeing.
The political area is reach by means of the monumental East Palace Gate. The central feature is the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, an imposing structure with its own courtyard garden. This area connects directly with the residential area, which is made up of three complexes of buildings. The Hall of Happiness in Longevity was the palace of Cixi and the Hall of Jade Ripples that of
Guangxu and his empress, whereas the Hall of Yiyun housed his concubines. These buildings are all built up against the Hill of Longevity, with fine views over the lake, and are connected to one another by means of roofed corridors. These communicate with the Great Stage to the east and the Long Corridor (728 m), with more than 10,000 paintings on its walls and ceilings, to the west. In front of the Hall of Happiness in Longevity there is a wooden quay giving access by water to their quarters for the imperial family. The remainder of the Summer Palace, some 90% of the total area, is given over to recreation and sightseeing. The steeper northern side of the Hill of Longevity is a tranquil area, through which a stream follows a winding course.
There are many halls and pavilions disposed within the overall frame provided by the lake and the low hills around them. The Tower of the Fragrance of Buddha forms the centre of the structures on the south side of the hill. It is octagonal in plan and its three storeys rise to a height of 41 m. It is supported on eight massive pillars of lignum vitae and roofed with a great variety of glazed tiles. East of the Tower is the Revolving Archive, a Buddhist structure with a pillar on which is carved an account of the creation of the garden. To the west are the Wu Fang Pavilion and the Baoyun Bronze Pavilion constructed entirely in bronze.
Between the Tower and the lake is the complex known as the Hall that Dispels the Clouds. Other pavilions and halls cluster around these main features. Kunming Lake has many of the features of the natural scenery of the region south of the Yangtze River. It contains three large islands.
The South Lake Island is linked to the East Dyke by the stately Seventeen Arch Bridge. The West Dike consciously follows the style of the famous Sudi Dyke built in the West Lake at Hangzhou during the Song dynasty in the 13th century; six bridges in different styles along its length lend variety to the view as seen up against the background of the West Hill, which is an essential feature of the overall design of the garden.

Historical Description
During the reigns of the Qing Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong (1663-1795) several imperial gardens were created around Beijing, the last of them being the Summer Palace, based on the Hill of Longevity and Kunming Lake in the north-western suburbs of the city.
Kunming Lake (known earlier as Wengshan Pond and Xihu Lake) had been used as a source of water for irrigation and for supplying the city for some 3500 years. It was developed as a reservoir for Yuan Dadu, capital of the Yuan Dynasty, by Guo Shoujing, a famous scientist of the period, in 1291. Between 1750 and 1764 Emperor Qianlong created the Garden of Clear Ripples,
extending the area of the lake and carrying out other improvements based on the hill and its landscape. It was to serve as the imperial garden for him and for his successors, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng.
During the Second Opium War (1856-60) the garden and its buildings were destroyed by the allied forces. Between 1886 and 1895 it was reconstructed by Emperor Guangxu and renamed the Summer Palace, for use by Empress
Dowager Cixi. It was badly damaged in 1900 by the international expeditionary force during the suppression of the Boxer Rising, in which Cixi had played a significant role, and restored two years later.
The Summer Palace became a public park in 1924 and has continued as such to the present day.

A Trip to the Summer Palace 08级西语系四班李想2008061032 It is said that the weather of Beijing is most desirable in autumn. Looking overhead, I saw but a vast dustless cerulean canopy overarching above, so high and distant as if out of man's reach. This, together with the cozy sunshine and refreshing wind, all at once swept the dust and tiredness from my mind. On such a fine morning, I paid my visit to the Summer Palace. I arrived there around 9 o'clock and since it was the seven day long holiday, inevitably, there were indeed a tremendous number of tourists. And the scene at the entrance was really chaotic: crowds of anxious tourists here and there, air pervaded with the smog emitted by congested buses and cars, noises of tour guides' speakers and vehicles' horns. Yet the ancient garden mysteriously excluded those commotions all. Roaming along the slightly sloping paths in Longevity Hill, I was completed en veloped by an atmosphere of extreme tranquility. You saw long tailed birds staggering in funny manner. You heard the twitte ring and giggling of birds of various tones and tunes. You felt the course and mute body of old trees, which, with their never the same postures did inspire different vagaries. And never would you expect to come across such pretty creatures as squirrels scampering naughtily and boldly on the sheeny grass. So I strolled there, dreaming that one day I could just live near the Summer Palace, so that I could visit here every dawn in all seasons and weathers; so that I could get acquainted with all these lovely trees and flowers and animals; so that I could find any quiet recess to idle away as many hours as I liked without being hasty because I was just a tourist. Soon I reached the Attic of Buddha Fragrance that stood in the middle of the hill facing the Kunming Lake. Here the land scape of nature and a maze of architecture integrated perfectly.Stop for a while and look out of the windows on the finely decorated corridors in different angles and varying scenery came into your sight, sometimes distant mountains with the vague image of a tower; sometimes a vista of all the halls and attics and gates and pagoda; sometimes the vast glittering lake spotted with numerous boats and yachts. Going down the Longevity Hill and passing the zigzag corridors and the stone boat of ingenious design, I stepped on the long causeway, a bundle of narrow islands linked by bridges, diriding the Kunming Lake into two parts. It also rendered the lake two diametrically different temperaments. On one side was that sparkling paradise, vibrant with joy and sunshine. The other side seemed almost reclusive, like a huge, immaculate crystal in laid in earth, absorbing and reflecting the subtle complexion of heaven, a deep blue with stretches of mildly bright luster, mingled with the green silhouette of trees at the far end of the lake.The near-bank side was covered by a carpet of luxuriant lotus,and though it wasn't summer, their verdant leaves did infuse much life into the landscape. There being no wind, its surface looked like an expanse of unruffled silk. And when some gentle breeze wrinkled it, uninterrupted ripples of great diameter silently slided, one by one, thus produced a soft palette of flowing and
说到旅游旅行，大家一定能想起那诸如美丽的欧洲，爱琴海，意大利水城威尼斯，供多拉，等等。去国外旅行，不了解相关的词汇怎行，上海环球雅思陈文婷老师这就来分析分析关于旅行的主要词汇：Journey，travel，trip，tour，voyage，excursion 等。都有旅行旅程的意思，仿佛意思相近，但又有着细微差别。 首先来说说travel，它泛指长途旅行、走访多地的旅行，往往是即兴的。 而journey 这个词，应用范围很广, 指“有预定地点的陆上、水上或空中的单程长、短途旅行”, 一般来说, 它着重指“长距离的陆上的旅行”, 来看看它的英文释译：(distance covered in) travelling, usually by land, from one place to another, often far away。例如: Tom decided to make a journey to Amsterdam by air.汤姆决定乘飞机去阿姆斯特丹。当然也常出现在短语中，例如一些诗人喜欢把人生比做成长途旅行，这时候我们会说：Life is a long long journey。同时在生活中我们会说一堆行前吉利话儿比如：have a good （pleasant）journey 表达一路顺风和平安。当然也可以用make a journey to 来表示到某地儿旅行。 再来说说trip，指“任何方式的, 从事业务或游览的旅行”, 往往着重于“短途旅行”, 在口语中, 可与journey 互换,比如Tom made a trip to the summer palace yesterday. 昨天汤姆游览了tour 指颐和园。还有用作特殊行程的旅行，比如：They planned to make a wedding trip to Paris.在此用作结婚旅行，pleasure trip 指“以游玩为目的的行程”，与business trip出差，商务旅行。在来看看tour，同时它也可以用作“以游览、视察、购物等为目的的旅行”（eg：My father has gone downtown on a shopping tour）常常含有“最后回到原出发点”的意思, 如:Tom is going to make a round-the-world tour.还有动词的用法：I will tour the world in the future. 汤姆要周游全球。tour指有计划、有固定路线的旅行，a package tour 就是我们常说的旅行团。很有意思的是我们会发现在许多世界巡回演出（比如歌手艺人的世界巡回演唱会）也可以看到这个词：world tour concert或touring concert 在法国人们对”BON VOYAGE”这个短语一点儿也不陌生，意思是一路平，再见。英语中也有voyage 一词表示旅行，但主要指“乘船作水上旅行”, 也可指”空中旅行”, 如: I got seasick during the voyage. 我在航行中晕船。 最后来看看excursion这个词。同样是旅行，但指“娱乐性的短途旅行，或远足”, 如:She went on excursion to the West Lake. 她到西湖去游玩了。很有意思的是在国外的大学课程里也经常会包含这么一个EXCURSION的项目。目的是让学生离开呆板的书本，和沉闷的教室，去身临其境到课程内容所涉及到的现实中的场景去体验感受式的学习。在我自己曾经就读的专业里就有一门关于欧洲联盟政治构建的课程，我们的EXCURSION也选在了the capital of Europe—Brussel，Belgium布鲁塞尔的EUROPEAN COMMISSION欧盟委员会，但同时也在远足中对比利时当地的博物馆进行参观学习了解欧洲政治构建基础的文化构建。在关于波罗的海文明史-教堂文化的课程中期有EXCURSION的课程组织学生们去到北欧瑞典当地著名的大教堂UPPSALA CATHEDRAL参观，由当地的导游和大教堂的工作人员来为学生们讲述教堂的历史变迁等等。让大家对历史的古老，和文化的深邃有更新的体会。Excursion的意义想必也是如此吧

During the Second Opium War (1856-60) the garden and its buildings were destroyed by the allied forces. Between 1886 and 1895 it was reconstructed by Emperor Guangxu and renamed the Summer Palace, for use by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was damaged in 1900 by the international expeditionary force during the suppression of the Boxer Rising and restored two years later. It became a public park in 1924. The Summer Palace covers an area of 2.97 km2 , three-quarters of which is covered by water. The main framework is supplied by the Hill of Longevity and Kunming Lake, complemented by man-made features. It is designed on a grandiose scale, commensurate with its role as an imperial garden. It is divided into three areas, each with its particular function: political and administrative activities, residence, and recreation and sightseeing. The political area is reach by means of the monumental East Palace Gate. The central feature is the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, an imposing structure with its own courtyard garden. This area connects directly with the residential area, which is made up of three complexes of buildings. The Hall of Happiness in Longevity was the palace of Cixi and the Hall of Jade Ripples that of Guangxu and his empress, whereas the Hall of Yiyun housed his concubines. These buildings are all built up against the Hill of Longevity, with fine views over the lake, and are connected to one another by means of roofed corridors. These communicate with the Great Stage to the east and the Long Corridor (728 m), with more than 10,000 paintings on its walls and ceilings, to the west. In front of the Hall of Happiness in Longevity there is a wooden quay giving access by water to their quarters for the imperial family. The remainder of the Summer Palace, some 90% of the total area, is given over to recreation and sightseeing. The steeper northern side of the Hill of Longevity is a tranquil area, through which a stream follows a winding course.
The Summer Palace (1) The Summer Palace is located on the northwest outskirts of Beijing, about 20 kilometers away from the center of the city. It is the best-preserved imperial garden in the world and one of the largest of its kind in China. The Summer Palace mainly consists of the Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. It covers an area of over 290 hectares. The Longevity Hill covers an area about 70 hectares, while Kunming Lake is about 220 hectares. The peaks of the Western Hill and the pagoda on the Jade Spring Hill can be seen in the distance. This is a typical method in garden-building, known as “borrowing the scenery from a distance”. In 1961, the Summer Palace was listed as one of the important historical monuments under special preservation by the Chinese Government. And in 1998, it was listed as the world cultural heritage by UNESCO. This garden is famous in the world not only for its man-made architecture, but also for its scenic beauty of nature. Now let me tell you something about its history. The Summer Palace has a history of over 800 years. In the Jin Dynasty, there was a small hill here. It was called Golden Hill, the Lake was called Golden Water Pond. In the Yuan Dynasty, the name of the hill was changed to the Jar Hill, because it was said that an old man had dug up a jar from the hill. And then the lake was called Jar Hill Pond. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was called West Lake. Later, Emperor Hongzhi, the 9th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built Yuanjing Temple on the Jar Hill. Next year, the 10th Ming Emperor Zhengde changed the name of this area as the Wonderful Imperial Garden. During the Qing Emperor Qianlong’s reign, the famous “Three Hills and Five Gardens” were built or enlarged in the northwestern Beijing. The Summer Palace was one of them. It was called the Garden of Clear Ripples. In 1750, in order to celebrate his mother’s 60th birthday, Emperor Qianlong ordered to have the Garden of Clear Ripples rebuilt. So Yuanjing Temple was taken down and then the Temple of Paying Great Gratitude for Longevity was built on the hill. Next year, Emperor Qianlong changed the name of the Jar Hill to Longevity Hill for his mother’s 60th birthday. And the lake was expanded, and it was renamed Kunming Lake, because Emperor Qianlong wanted to follow the example of Emperor Hanwu di who had trained his navy in kunming pool in changan. The whole construction project took 15 years to finish. And it was almost the most beautiful garden in the world. But unfortunately, in 1860, the Anglo-French Allied Forces invad ed Beijing, the “Three Hills and Five Gardens” were burnt down. In 1888,Empress Dowager Cixi ordered to rebuild the Garden of Clear Ripples and changed its name to the Summer Palace. In 1900, the Allied Forces of Eight Powers invaded Beijing, the Summer Palace was once again severely damaged. When Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing, she immediately ordered the garden rebuilt. The Summer Palace today is more or less the same as the one rebuilt in 1903. After the Qing dynasty was overthrown, this imperial garden was turned into a public park, and in 1928, it was officially opened to the public. Let’s start our visit from the East Palace Gate, which is the main entrance to the Summer Palace. The stone slab placed in the middle gateway was moved from Yuanmingyuan. The plaque above the middle gate is inscribed with 3 Chinese characters “The Summer Palace” in Emperor Guangxu’s handwriting. And there are two bronze lions on either side of the gate. Entering the East Palace Gate, we will see the Gate of Benev olence and Longevity. It’s the 2nd gate in the palace area. Inside the gate, there is a three-meter-high giant rock. This rock was from Taihu Lake in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. So it was called Taihu Rock. The bronze mythical animal behind the Taihu Rock is known as Bronze Qilin. It was believed to be one of
