五一假期，我来到了向往已久的北京，游览了许多名胜古迹，但令我印象最深刻的，还是世界闻名的古建筑奇迹——长城。
During the May Day holiday, I came to the long-awaited Beijing and visited many famous scenic spots and historical sites. However, what impressed me the most was the world-famous ancient architectural wonder - the Great Wall.
经过一个小时的车程，我终于看见了气势恢宏的长城，它就像一条巨龙盘旋在连绵起伏的崇山峻岭之中。
After an hour's drive, I finally saw the magnificent Great Wall, which was like a giant dragon hovering in the undulating mountains.
这段长城修筑在八达岭上，我站在山脚下抬头望，长城若隐若现，它似乎消失在山峰中，可又在更远的山上留下了攀登的足迹，真壮观！
This section of the Great Wall was built on Badaling Mountain. I stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. The Great Wall was faintly visible, as if it had disappeared into the peaks, but it had left its climbing footprints on even further mountains. It was truly magnificent!
刚开始爬长城时，我感觉很轻松，发现长城不仅气魄雄伟，而且高大坚固。只见它的城墙顶上铺着方砖，平整，宽阔，五六匹马可以并行。据说长城时为了抵御外敌入侵而修建的，难怪如此坚固，如此蜿蜒呢。
When I first started climbing the Great Wall, I felt very relaxed and found that it was not only majestic, but also tall and sturdy. I saw that the top of its city wall was covered with square bricks, flat and wide, and five or six horses could run parallel. It is said that the Great Wall was built to resist foreign invasion, no wonder it is so strong and winding.
爬到半途中，我那股轻松劲儿一下子就抛到了九霄云外去了。我的两腿就像灌了铅似的，每走一步都累得气喘吁吁。我和妈妈便坐在石阶上休息。这时，我看见城墙外沿有两米多高的成排垛子，垛子上方有方形的瞭望口和射口，应该是供士兵们瞭望和射击用的。
Halfway through the climb, my relaxed energy was suddenly thrown into the clouds. My legs feel like they've been injected with lead, and every step I take makes me gasp for breath. My mother and I sat on the stone steps to rest. At this moment, I saw rows of battlements over two meters high along the outer edge of the city wall, with square observation and shooting ports above them, which should be used by soldiers for observation and shooting.
我们继续沿着石梯往上走。望望前方，长城还长着呢，一眼望不到头。越往上爬，就越陡峭，每一次抬脚都要花费很大的力气。妈妈在一旁鼓励着我，叫我双手抓着扶手，还在后面推着我走。妈妈给我讲：“长城是世界七大奇迹之首，据说宇航员在太空中也能拍下长城的全貌，真是了不起呀！”听了妈妈的话，一种民族自豪感油然而生，我为自己是一个中国人而骄傲。我鼓足勇气，奋力向上爬。
We continued to walk up the stone ladder. Looking ahead, the Great Wall is still long and cannot be seen at a glance. The higher you climb, the steeper it becomes, and every time you lift your foot, it takes a lot of effort. My mother encouraged me on the side, asking me to grab onto the armrest with both hands and push me along from behind. My mother told me: "The Great Wall is the first of the seven wonders of the world. It is said that astronauts can also take a picture of the Great Wall in space. It is amazing!" After listening to my mother's words, a sense of national pride came into being. I am proud of being a Chinese. I gathered my courage and struggled to climb up.
我和妈妈在谈笑间走走停停，终于登上了“好汉坡”。这时，我仿佛听到了战鼓齐鸣，看到了烽火连天的硝烟战场。从好汉坡往下看，城墙顶上，每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台，是屯兵的堡垒，打仗的时候城墙之间可以互相呼应。大家知道吗？多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧才凝结出这前不见头，后不见尾的万里长城。好汉坡上还有毛主席苍劲有力的题词“不到长城非好汉”，这次，我也做了一回好汉！
My mother and I walked and laughed, and finally climbed the "Hero Slope". At this moment, I seemed to hear the sound of war drums and see the smoke and fire of the battlefield. Looking down from Haohan Slope, on the top of the city wall, there is a square fortress every three hundred meters, which serves as a garrison for soldiers. During battles, the walls can complement each other. Do you all know? How much blood, sweat, and wisdom of the working people have condensed into this endless Great Wall that has no beginning and no end. On the Haohan Slope, there is Chairman Mao's vigorous and powerful inscription "Not a hero until you reach the Great Wall". This time, I also became a hero!
