Unit 2 Travelling Around 旅行
Reading for Writing
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 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。

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年几位农民打井时(无意)发现了这座陵墓,现代人才知道了这座皇陵!
