著名的文學家雨果曾這樣描述圓明園：“在世界的某個角落，存在著人類的一大奇跡，這個奇跡就是圓明園。它仿佛在遙遠的蒼茫暮色中隱約眺見的一件前所未知的驚人杰作，宛如亞洲文明的輪廓崛起在歐洲文明的地平線上一樣?！?/p>
The famous writer Hugo once described the Yuanmingyuan as follows: "in a corner of the world, there is a great miracle of human beings, which is the Yuanmingyuan. It is like a previously unknown masterpiece looming in the distant twilight, just as the outline of Asian civilization rises on the horizon of European civilization. "
圓明園坐落在北京西北郊，是一座舉世聞名的皇家園林。圓明園中，有金碧輝煌的殿堂，玲瓏剔透的亭臺樓閣；有象征著熱鬧街市的“買賣街”，也有象征著田野風光的山鄉(xiāng)村野。園中的許多景物都是仿照各地名勝古跡建造的。圓明園不但建筑宏偉，還收藏著最珍貴的歷史文物。所以它又是當代世界上最大的博物館、藝術館。
Located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, Yuanmingyuan is a world-famous royal garden. In the Yuanmingyuan, there are magnificent halls, exquisite pavilions, shopping streets and villages symbolizing the scene of fields. Many sceneries in the garden are built in imitation of places of interest. Yuanmingyuan not only has magnificent architecture, but also collects the most precious historical relics. So it is the largest museum and art gallery in the contemporary world.
但是，1900年，八國聯軍入侵北京，他們在北京城內肆無忌憚地燒殺擄掠，搬走了能搬走的東西，搬不動的就加以毀壞。最后竟放火燒毀了這月宮似的仙境，大火整整燒了兩天兩夜。強盜們就以這種最野蠻的方式摧毀了世界上最著名的皇家園林。真是可惜而又恥辱。
However, in 1900, the Allied forces of the eight powers invaded Beijing. They burned, killed and plundered the city with impunity. They moved away what they could and destroyed what they could not move. Finally, it set fire to the fairyland like the Moon Palace. The fire lasted two days and two nights. In this most barbaric way, the robbers destroyed the most famous Royal Garden in the world. What a shame.
貪婪的侵略者讓中國人明白了一個貧窮落后、弱小的國家和民族，只能處于被壓迫、被剝削、被凌辱、被掠奪的地位。火燒圓明園的歷史則再次證明：落后就會挨打這個道理。
The greedy aggressor made the Chinese understand that a poor, backward and weak country and nation can only be oppressed, exploited, humiliated and plundered. The history of burning the Old Summer Palace proves once again that backwardness can be beaten.
時間曾定格于1949年10月1日，當雄偉的天安門迎來新一輪的太陽，當巍峨的華表披上曙光，當無數先烈用鮮血染紅的五星紅旗在天安門廣場冉冉升起，偉大領袖毛主席洪亮的聲音傳遍了全世界：中華人民共和國成立了！中國人民從此站起來了！這一時刻，對于一個飽經憂患、受盡欺凌的民族來說是多么寶貴啊！
Time was fixed on October 1, 1949, when the magnificent Tian'anmen Gate ushered in a new round of sun, when the magnificent Huabiao covered with dawn, when countless martyrs with blood red five-star red flag rising in Tian'anmen Square, the voice of the great leader Chairman Mao Hongliang spread all over the world: the founding of the people's Republic of China! The Chinese people have stood up since then! How precious this moment is for a nation that has suffered and been bullied!
當第一面五星紅旗冉冉升起，那讓人恥辱的東亞病夫的帽子終于被我們拋掉了，我們的祖國開始實現重整河山的夢想。1964年，第一顆原子彈爆炸，我們的祖國開始走向繁榮，走向富強；1978年，改革開放，我們的祖國引來了全世界羨慕的目光；1997年，東方之珠香港回歸了；1999年，澳門的炎黃子孫也唱著“七子之歌”回到了祖國母親的懷抱；2001年，我們的祖國申奧成功，并且從此加入了世貿組織；2003年10月15日，太空中第一次出現了中國人的身影。這一切足以證明，我們的祖國是一條正在騰飛的巨龍。
When the first five-star red flag was rising, the disgraceful hat of the sick man of East Asia was finally thrown away by us, and our motherland began to realize the dream of river and mountain reconstruction. In 1964, the first atomic bomb exploded, and our motherland began to move towards prosperity and prosperity; in 1978, reform and opening up, our motherland attracted the envy of the world; in 1997, the Pearl of the Orient Hong Kong returned; in 1999, the Chinese people in Macao also sang the song of seven sons and returned to the embrace of our mother country; in 2001, our motherland successfully applied for the Olympic Games, and since then China joined the world trade organization, and on October 15, 2003, for the first time, a Chinese figure appeared in space. All these prove that our motherland is a giant dragon taking off.
但是，我們千萬不能忘記過去那段恥辱的歷史。讓警報聲回蕩在我們每個中國人的心里，我們每一個中國人都要時刻提醒自己：牢記歷史，維護和平，奮發(fā)圖強。
But we must not forget the humiliating past. Let the alarm reverberate in the hearts of each of us Chinese. Each of us Chinese should always remind ourselves: remember history, maintain peace and strive for strength.
