读了《长城》一文，我感慨万千。我不仅领略了长城的高大坚固、气魄雄伟，同时也深深地被我国古代劳动人民的智慧所折服。
　　这段长城修筑在八达岭上，高大坚固。城墙顶上铺着方砖，十分平整，像很宽的马路。成排的垛子上有射口和嘹望口，以防御敌人的进攻……
　　古人实在太聪明了，他们通过嘹望口来看敌情，用射口来打击进攻的敌人。长城上那一块块条石，每块都有两三千斤重，在那经济不发达的社会里，没有火车、汽车，没有起重机，就靠着无数的肩膀、无数的手，将石头一步一步地抬上那陡峭的山岭。付出多少的血汗和智慧，才凝结成这前不见头、后不见尾的万里长城。
　　再来看看某些现代人吧，有的游客到长城游玩随便扔垃圾，有的在城墙上乱写“到此一游”，甚至有一些人为了金钱破坏长城……
　　长城已被列放《世界遗产名录》，是我们中华儿女的骄傲和自豪！我们应该呵护好长城，从我做起，做一个文明游客。

The Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is considered to be the only man-made project visible from the moon. Although it was once thought to have been built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 208 BC, it is now believed to have been started earlier.
The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1,500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies. To the common people of the empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, however. The wall, and other public works completed by the Qin Dynasty,had caused great losses of wealth and human life in the country. As a result,an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty,and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.
Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance,the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.
长城
中国的长城被视为惟一能从月球上看到的人造工程。人们曾认为长城全部修建于公元前22l到208年的秦朝，但现在人们相信长城的修建要开始得更早。
修建这一高15英尺，宽20英尺，长1500英里的建筑无疑是用来抵御外敌入侵的。但对帝国中被迫修建长城的百姓而言，实在不值得。秦代建筑的长城再加上完成的其他公共工程给这个国家的财产和生命带来了巨大损失。结果，一群愤怒的人揭竿而起反对秦朝，公元前207年汉朝开始。
长城有着悠久的文化和宏伟的外观，因此直到今天还在吸引着旅游者、科学家和史学家前来参观，而且在今后许多年仍会如此。
