Crumbling Great Wall

萬里長(zhǎng)城正在慢慢消失

The Great Wall of China, a world heritage site, has suffered severe damage from both natural and man-made corrosion over the years.

世界文化遺產(chǎn)之一，中國(guó)的萬里長(zhǎng)城，多年來，在自然環(huán)境的侵蝕和人為破壞下，飽經(jīng)滄桑，生存狀況堪憂。

As the world’s biggest defense project, it was first started more than 2,000 years ago, and what is left today was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

作為世界上最大的防御工程，長(zhǎng)城最早于2000多年前開始修建，今天我們所看到的長(zhǎng)城大多是修建于明朝時(shí)期(1368-1644年)。

However, not all of the Wall is preserved like the Badaling section in northern Beijing. According to a 2012 report by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, of the 6,259 kilometers of the Ming Dynasty Wall, less than 10 percent is well preserved, while 31 percent of the Wall, or 1,961 kilometers, has disappeared. The remaining several thousand kilometers of the Wall has been dilapidated because of wind and rain, as well as human activities.

然而，并非所有的長(zhǎng)城都像北京北部八達(dá)嶺段那樣保存完好。據(jù)國(guó)家文物局2012年統(tǒng)計(jì)的數(shù)據(jù)，全長(zhǎng)6259公里的明代長(zhǎng)城，保存完好的部分僅有不到10%，而31%的城墻(約1961公里)已消失在了歷史長(zhǎng)河中。由于風(fēng)雨侵蝕和人類活動(dòng)，剩下的幾千公里城墻也都破舊不堪。

In Shanxi Province, which is home to more than 3,500 kilometers of the Wall built in different historical periods, stealing of bricks from the Wall has been rampant, especially during the socially turbulent years. In the 1970s, when an agricultural development campaign began to sweep Shanxi, residents living alongside the Wall dug out the bricks and used them for building houses and other facilities.

山西省內(nèi)的長(zhǎng)城長(zhǎng)達(dá)3500多公里，建于不同的歷史時(shí)期。當(dāng)?shù)厝藦某菈ι贤荡u塊的行為一直很猖獗，特別是在社會(huì)動(dòng)蕩的歲月。上世紀(jì)70年代，當(dāng)農(nóng)業(yè)大賽運(yùn)動(dòng)席卷山西，居住在長(zhǎng)城腳下的人們挖出長(zhǎng)城的磚塊，用它們來建造房屋和其他設(shè)施。

Ge Shufang from Deshengbao village near the Wall, who is now a member of the Datong People’s Congress, has been promoting awareness among local villagers for more than a decade. Now that more tourists are coming to the village to see the Wall, the villagers have realized its value, and are starting to benefit from the tourism business.

大同市人大代表葛書芳(音)來自長(zhǎng)城腳下的大勝堡村，十多年來一直致力于提高當(dāng)?shù)鼐用癖Ｗo(hù)長(zhǎng)城的意識(shí)?，F(xiàn)在，隨著越來越多的游客來到村子里參觀長(zhǎng)城，村民們終于意識(shí)到它的價(jià)值，并開始從旅游業(yè)中受益。

However, pursuit of economic return has also ruined the Wall in some places. In order to cash in from tourism, the Youyu county in Shanxi leveled off the Wall in Shahukou and rebuilt the section with a tacky new design, drawing fierce criticism from conservation experts.

然而，對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)回報(bào)的追求也破壞了一些地方的城墻。為了從旅游中獲利，山西右玉縣殺虎口的長(zhǎng)城被推平，翻新重修，它失去了古風(fēng)的新設(shè)計(jì)遭到了文物保護(hù)專家的強(qiáng)烈批判。

通過上面跨考網(wǎng)的小編為大家整理的關(guān)于2017考研英語閱讀材料：萬里長(zhǎng)城正在慢慢消失的一些資料，每一個(gè)人都應(yīng)該重視國(guó)家文化遺產(chǎn)的保護(hù)。
