举世闻名的万里长城，是中华民族的象征。小时候，我最爱去爬长城，每次去长城，都流连忘返……
The world-famous Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation. When I was a child, I loved to climb the Great Wall the most. Every time I went to the Great Wall, I would linger and forget to leave; …
长城有着悠久的历史。听妈妈说：长城始建于西周时期，是我国古代的军事防御工事。秦朝统一中国后，把春秋战国时期各国修筑的城墙，连接在了一起，始称“长城”。汉代和明代，都对长城进行了大规模的修筑。我们今天看到的长城大多是明朝修筑的。新中国成立后，经过多次修整之后，现在的长城基本恢复了原貌，成为我国的文化遗产和名胜古迹之首。
The Great Wall has a long history. My mother said that the Great Wall was first built during the Western Zhou Dynasty and was an ancient military defense structure in China. After the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, the city walls built by various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were connected together, which became known as the "; The Great Wall;. Both the Han and Ming dynasties carried out large-scale construction of the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall we see today was built during the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China and multiple renovations, the Great Wall has basically been restored to its original appearance, becoming the first cultural heritage and scenic spot in our country.
每次登上长城，我都会向远处望去，啊！长城像一条巨龙，蜿蜒盘旋于起伏的群山之巅，前不见头，后不见尾，气势磅礴。有一次，在妈妈的鼓励下，我一鼓作气，终于爬上了八达岭长城的最高处。妈妈告诉我：“长城东起山海关，西到嘉峪关，全长一万三千多里呢！”我拍着手说：“怪不得叫万里长城呢！”仔细观看，我发现城墙上铺的全是灰色方砖和青色条石，非常平整，像很宽的马路。城墙外侧朝北，有两米多高的垛口，垛口的下面有瞭望口和射口，城墙上每隔三百米就有一座方形的城台，妈妈向我介绍：“古代人们把城台叫做叫它‘烽火台’，是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候，在城台上点起烽火，城台之间可以传递信息、互相呼应。”听到这里，古代将士摇旗呐喊、擂鼓助威的宏伟战争场面，似乎出现在我眼前。
Every time I climb the Great Wall, I look into the distance, ah! The Great Wall is like a giant dragon, winding and circling at the top of the undulating mountains, with no head in front and no tail behind, majestic and imposing. Once, with my mother's encouragement, I worked hard and finally climbed to the highest point of the Badaling Great Wall. My mother told me:; The Great Wall starts from Shanhaiguan in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west, with a total length of over 13000 miles! ” I clapped my hands and said, '; No wonder it's called the Great Wall of China! ” Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the city wall was covered entirely with gray square bricks and blue stones, which were very smooth and resembled a wide road. On the outer side of the city wall facing north, there are battlements over two meters high. Below the battlements, there are observation and shooting points. Every three hundred meters on the city wall, there is a square platform. My mother introduced it to me:; In ancient times, people called the city platform 'it'; Beacon Tower; It is a fortress for garrison troops. During the war, setting up beacon fires on the city platforms allows for the transmission of information and mutual communication between them. ” Upon hearing this, the magnificent scenes of ancient soldiers waving flags, shouting, and beating drums to cheer seemed to appear before my eyes.
不到长城非好汉。漫步长城，我情不自禁地想：古代的劳动人民真了不起！长城是世界文化遗产的一大奇迹，是我们伟大祖国的骄傲和光荣！让我们携起手来，爱我长城，护我长城，让万里长城永远屹立在世界的东方！
One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero. Strolling along the Great Wall, I couldn't help but think: The ancient laboring people were truly amazing! The Great Wall is a great miracle of world cultural heritage and a source of pride and honor for our great motherland! Let's join hands, love my Great Wall, protect my Great Wall, and let the Great Wall stand forever in the east of the world!
