龙门石窟之行中国的骄傲学英语

　　Hi, everyone, this is Jonathan. Today I would like to share with you something very special.
　　大家好，我是Jonathan。今天我想和大家分享一次旅行的经历。
　　In this April, I made a trip to Henan Province. Located in the center of China, Henan boasts some of the most stunning  scenery  and the greatest historical and  cultural  sites in the country. Among all these places I visited, the Longmen  Grottoes  have left me with the most unforgettable memories.
　　scenery n. 自然景观
　　cultural adj. 文化的
　　grotto n. 石窟
　　就在今年四月，我到河南省旅行。河南位于中原地带，拥有非常壮丽的自然风景和绝佳的历史文化遗址。而其中，龙门石窟给我留下了最难忘的回忆。
　　The Longmen Grottoes, now a  world heritage site , are a treasure house of ancient  Buddhist  cave art. The grottoes were mostly carved between the 5th and 10th centuries. There are over 4,000 caves housing more than 100,000  statues ,  reliefs , and  calligraphies .
　　world heritage site 世界遗产
　　Buddhist adj. 佛教的
　　statue n. 雕塑
　　relief n. 浮雕
　　calligraphy n. 书法
　　龙门石窟，现为世界遗产，是古代佛教石窟艺术的瑰宝。石窟大多雕刻在5世纪到10世纪之间。有超过4000个洞穴容纳超过10万座雕像、浮雕和书法。
　　UNESCO states that the site is ＂an  outstanding   manifestation  of human artistic creativity＂.
　　outstanding adj.杰出的
　　manifestation n. 展现
　　联合国教科文组织评价该遗址是＂人类艺术创造力的杰出代表＂。
　　The biggest  draw  is the sculpture of  Vairocana Buddha , the largest creation of the whole attraction. It＂s massive and  exquisite . One can easily make his audience teary. Apart from its sheer size and beauty, what＂s so fascinating is that the  sculpture   takes after  the looks of Wuzetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history.
　　draw n. 亮点
　　sculpture n. 雕像
　　Vairocana Buddha 卢舍那大佛
　　exquisite adj. 精致的
　　take after 参照
　　龙门石窟最大的惊喜莫过卢舍那大佛，这是整个景点最大的雕像。壮观且细腻精美。很多参观者见到大佛都被震撼泪目。让雕像更加特别的是，大佛的面容是按照武则天刻画的。
　　I had a wonderful time. However, I am deeply saddened by the recent flood that  devastated  the entire Henan, Luoyang wasn＂t  spared . My deepest sympathy goes out to all affected. We＂re always with you. Good luck. 河南加油！
　　devastate v. 摧残
　　spare v. 幸免
　　我的旅程是难忘的。很遗憾在两个月之后，河南发生如此严重的自然灾害。我向所有受影响的同胞朋友表示最深切的关怀。河南加油！
　　Alright, that＂s all for my sharing. My dear friends, have you visited the Longmen Grottoes? Please feel free to share your experiences.
