篇一:关于长城的英语作文
长城是中国的象征。远看那雄伟的长城,像一条长龙在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋,从山海关到嘉峪关,就有一万三千多里!
从北京出发,不过几十公里就能到达长城脚下。啊,长城好长好长,一眼望不到头,仿佛巨蛇躺在山岭上休息。长城是用许多条石和城砖筑成的。顶上铺着方砖,十分整齐,像一条宽宽的马路,五六匹马儿可以并排走。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子,上方有方形的望口和射口,供了望和射击用,城墙顶上,隔几百米有座城台,古时候打仗可以相互呼应!长城并不是一道单独的城墙,而是由城墙、敌楼、关城、墩堡、营城、卫所、镇城烽火台等多种防御工事所组成的完整工程体系。

Outside walls along the rows of buttress has two meters high, above the square at the mouth and the nozzle, for observation and shooting, and on the top of the wall, a ChengTai every few hundred meters - ancient war can mutual echo.
