巴黎是法國(guó)政治、文化、經(jīng)濟(jì)和交通中心，是舉世公認(rèn)的時(shí)尚之都和著名的旅游勝地。如果你有機(jī)會(huì)去巴黎，下面這些地方可不要錯(cuò)過(guò)啊！

Louvre 盧浮宮

A major highlight1 in Paris is Louvre. The Louvre was built first as a fortress2， then as a royal residence3 and is now a national museum. The Louvre is full of paintings， sculptures4 and artifacts collected over the past five centuries by the French. We are able to enjoy da Vincis most famous painting Mona Lisa there.

盧浮宮是巴黎最具吸引力的景點(diǎn)之一。盧浮宮最初是戰(zhàn)略要塞，之后作為皇宮，現(xiàn)在成了國(guó)家博物館。盧浮宮收藏著法國(guó)過(guò)去五個(gè)世紀(jì)收集的畫(huà)作、雕塑和古董。在那里，我們能欣賞到達(dá)·芬奇最著名的畫(huà)作《蒙娜麗莎》。

Notre Dame Cathedral 巴黎圣母院

This Gothic marvel5 of architecture is more than a building； it is an symbolic element6 of the city， listed by UNESCO as a world heritage7 site. Notre Dame Cathedral was built between the 12th and 14th centuries. In Notre Dame Cathedral， there are three rose windows （large， round， stained8 glass windows） that have original glass. These were saved during the war by being removed and hidden in the countryside. They were later fully reinstalled9.

這座哥特式建筑的奇跡不僅僅是一座建筑，更是這個(gè)城市的標(biāo)志元素之一，已被聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織列入世界遺產(chǎn)。巴黎圣母院建于12世紀(jì)至14世紀(jì)。巴黎圣母院里有三個(gè)玫瑰花窗（圓形的、巨大的染色玻璃），上面的玻璃都是興建之初的。在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中它們被拆卸下來(lái)，藏匿于鄉(xiāng)間。后來(lái)又全部被重新安裝上。

The Eiffel Tower 埃菲爾鐵塔

The Eiffel Tower （307 metres）， a symbol of Paris for the whole world， was built for the World Fair in 1889. If one takes the elevator up to the top， the view from up allows one to see it all—the neighborhoods， the museums， the river and the parks.

埃菲爾鐵塔（高307米）為1889年世博會(huì)而建，對(duì)全世界來(lái)說(shuō)是巴黎的象征。乘坐電梯到頂層，能看見(jiàn)巴黎的全景——周?chē)木吧?、博物館、河流和公園。

Arch of Triumph 凱旋門(mén)

The centre of Paris， the Arch of Triumph， rays out into twelve busy streets. It was built in 1806 by Napoleon to celebrate his victories. There is also a memorial10 flame lit nightly to honor the Unknown Soldier of WWⅠ， who is buried underneath.

從巴黎市中心凱旋門(mén)延伸出十二條繁華的大街。凱旋門(mén)始建于1806年，是拿破侖為紀(jì)念他的勝利而修建的。凱旋門(mén)有一個(gè)“長(zhǎng)明火炬”，每晚點(diǎn)亮以紀(jì)念一位被埋在凱旋門(mén)下的一戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的無(wú)名戰(zhàn)士。

Seine River 塞納河

The Seine River is a major river and commercial waterway in France. It is 776 km long， flowing through Paris and into the English Channel. There are many beautiful old bridges on this river. Many famous artists have painted this river because it is so beautiful. If Paris is the symbol of France， then the Banks of the Seine River are surely its masterpieces.

塞納河是法國(guó)主要的河流和商業(yè)航道。塞納河長(zhǎng)776千米，流經(jīng)巴黎市，注入英吉利海峽。塞納河上有很多美麗而古老的橋梁。很多著名的藝術(shù)家都描畫(huà)過(guò)這條河流，因?yàn)樗鼘?shí)在是太美了。如果說(shuō)巴黎是法國(guó)的象征，那么塞納河兩岸就是法國(guó)的杰作。

Champs Elysees 香榭麗舍

At the very heart of Paris is one of the most symbolic places in the city， representing its spirit and glory11. The Champs Elysees is one of the most famous streets in the world in line with its cinemas， cafe and luxury specialty12 shops. Every day on the Champs Elysees， there are almost 10 thousand people. Festivities in Paris center on the famous Champs Elysees Avenue and the Eiffel Tower.

坐落于巴黎正中心的是最具代表性的地方之一，它代表了這個(gè)城市的精神與榮耀。香榭麗舍大街是世界上最著名街道之一，街道兩旁林立著電影院、咖啡館和高檔專賣(mài)店。每天在香榭麗舍大街上往來(lái)的人將近1萬(wàn)。巴黎的慶?；顒?dòng)主要集中在著名的香榭麗舍大街和埃菲爾鐵塔。
