It is well known in China because it was the first of its kind designed and built by Chinese people. The chief engineer for this railway was Zhan Tianyou. Born in 1861 in Guangdong province, he showed an interest in machines at an early age. At eleven, he went to study in the US. Upon his graduation from Yale University in 1881, Zhan returned to China and began his work on the Jingzhang Railway in 1905. The Jingzhang Railway must go through an area of hills and mountains. At that time, many people believed no one could ever build a railway there. However, Zhan Tianyou overcame all kinds of difficulties and succeeded in finishing the task. The 200-kilometer-long railway was completed in 1909, two years ahead of schedule. It is considered a brilliant piece of work in Chinese railway history. more job opportunities better living conditions love for his country orders from his parents 京张铁路 京张铁路从北京通向张家口。它在中国很有名，因为它是第一条由中国人设计并建造的铁路。 这条铁路的总工程师是詹天佑。他1861年出生于广东省，从小就对机械感兴趣。11岁时，他赴美国学习。 1881年从耶鲁大学毕业后，詹天佑便回到中国并于1905年开始主持京张铁路的工作。 京张铁路必须穿过一片山岭地带。当时，许多人都认为没人能在那里修建铁路。 然而，詹天佑克服了重重困难，成功完成了任务。 这条长200千米的铁路于1909年竣工，比计划提前了两年。它被认为是中国铁路史上的一项杰出工程。 √ from... to... 从......到...... e.g. Can you count from one to nine? 你能从一数到九吗？ e.g. They moved from Beijing to Shanghai. 他们从北京搬到了上海。 01 02 be well known in 在......闻名/有名 =be famous in for 因......而闻名/有名 =be famous for e.g. The Great Wall is well known in China. 长城在中国很有名。 e.g. China is well known for The Great Wall. 中国因长城而闻名。 show an interest in 对.......表示出兴趣 e.g. We show an interest in English. 我们对英语感兴趣。 return to 返回
