课文讲解

 

Which city is "The Eternal City"?  哪座城市是「永恒之城」?

 

(A) Cairo.  开罗。

(B) Athens.  雅典。

(C) Rome.  罗马。

 

Rome is one of the four major ancient capitals of the world. Over the last 2,700 years, many wars happened and dynasties changed. Yet, Rome never disappeared from history. For centuries, people from generation to generation helped make Rome a center of power, culture, and religion. That's how the popular saying "Rome was not built in a day" explains the center of history and art.

 

答案是:(C) 罗马。

罗马是世界四大古老的首都之一。在过去的两千七百年间,罗马历经了兵荒马乱及朝代更迭,却都未曾从历史上消失。好几个世纪以来,世世代代的人们让罗马成为权力、文化及宗教的核心。而「罗马不是一天造成的」这句俗谚正阐释了这座城市的不朽。即使到了现在,罗马依旧是历史及艺术的重镇。
