UNIT 2 TRAVELLING AROUND

 课文译文

Reading and Thinking

PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow,

dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.

秘鲁是位于南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家，由三个主要地区构成：狭窄的 、干燥的、平坦的沿海

地区，安第斯山脉和亚马孙热带雨林。

In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca

emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th

century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of

Peru.

在15至16世纪期间，秘鲁曾是强大的古印加帝国的中心。印加帝王就住在现闻名于世的马丘比

丘。西班牙在16世纪开始掌控秘鲁，并一直统治到1821年。正因为如此，西班牙语才是秘鲁的主要

官方语言。

TRAVEL PERU

畅游秘鲁

Amazon Rainforest Tour

1

亚马孙热带雨林之旅

A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From

there, you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the

forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying

the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.

从库斯科出发的短途航班会带您从安第斯山脉飞抵亚马孙雨林。从那儿，您将乘一天的船前往位

于森林深处的住宿地。在接下来的三天里，您可以在当地导游的陪同下，深入雨林进行探索，欣赏雨

林独有的动植物。

Machu Picchu Tour

马丘比丘之旅

This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains

on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day

to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone

method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to

hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.

为期四天的徒步旅行将带您在通往马丘比丘的途中，踏上穿越安第斯山脉的神奇之路。到达目的

地后，您将有一天时间来探索这座令人叹为观止的古城。尤其令人惊奇的是印加人的干式石头搭砌的

建造方法。印加的建筑工人将石头切割成精确的尺寸，仅仅凭着石头间的完美贴合，即可稳固墙体。

Cusco Tour

2

库斯科之旅

Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes

at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local

hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go

shopping at the local markets.

在安第斯山脉上的库斯科畅玩四天，尽情享受独特的西班牙和当地印第安文化。库斯科是13世

纪至16世纪印加帝国的首都。您将入住当地酒店、参观博物馆、欣赏建筑物，品尝当地美食，并在当

地市场购物。

Lake Titicaca Tour

的的喀喀湖之旅

Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway

connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family

on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants

from the lake.

沿着连接库斯科到的的喀喀湖的新建公路，您可以欣赏到乡村美景。在那里，一艘小船将把您送

至岛上的当地乌鲁斯家庭共度三天。岛屿和乌鲁斯人的住房都是由湖中的水生植物建造而成的。

So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture

and centuries-old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful

coastline.

所以，欢迎来体验秘鲁的万种风情：这里有古印加文化和数百年历史的西班牙村庄，还有茂密的

Subject: A travel plan to Xi’an

主题：西安旅行计划

Dear Xiao Li,

亲爱的小李，

My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the

4

October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army.

I’ve heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can’t wait to go. To me, the story of the

Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues,

and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.

我在中国一切都好。我喜欢我的新学校和新同学。十一放假期间，我和父母打算去西安参观兵马

俑。我听说兵马俑是一个令人惊叹的景点，我已经迫不及待了。对我来说，兵马俑的故事简直令人难

以置信。那里有8000多座俑像，直到20世纪70年代才为人所知，想想这一切，真是非常神奇。

We’re also planning to visit several other places in Xi’an. My dad and I are both looking

forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history and I have

heard that this museum is known as a “Chinese treasure house”! We’re also going to the

Xi’an City Wall and a few other famous sights.

我们还计划去游览西安的其他景点。爸爸和我都期待着参观陕西历史博物馆，因为我爸爸热爱历

史，而我听说这家博物馆被誉为“中国宝库”！我们还打算游览西安古城墙和其他一些著名的景点。

We’re taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We’re

arriving at 9: and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train!

我们打算坐火车，在十一假期开始的前一天出发。上午9：30到达到西安之后，我们马上开始观

光，但愿我们能在火车上睡个好觉！

I guess that’s all for now! I’ll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans

for the coming holiday? Hope to hear from you soon.

我想今天就写到这里吧！我很快会再给你写信和发照片的！你对即将到来的假期有什么安排吗？

希望收到你的来信。

Your friend,

TERRACOTTA ARMY

兵马俑

Come and see the Terracotta Army：more than 8,000 statues were made in the third

century BCE to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! Each statue has a

different face, leading researchers to believe that each one is a copy of a real soldier. The

statues fill only one part of the emperor’s huge tomb, which still has not been completely

unearthed. More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb. However,

no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974, when

some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well!

来参观兵马俑吧：公元前三世纪制作的8000多座俑像，守护着中国秦始皇的陵墓！每个俑像的

相貌都不相同，这让研究人员认为每座俑像都是一名真实士兵的形象。这些俑像只是秦始皇巨大陵墓

的一部分，而整座陵墓尚未完全发掘。当时，70多万人花了近40年时间才建成这座陵墓。然而，直

到1974年几位农民打时(无意)发现了这座陵墓，现代人才知道这座皇墓!
