黄鹤楼英文导游词
Yellow Crane Tower, located on Snake Hill in Wuchang, is one of the "Three Famous Towers South of Yangtze River (the other two: Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Tengwang Tower in Jiangxi). 与湖南的岳阳楼，江西的滕王阁并称为“江南三大名楼”
Legend has it that in Wuchang, there used to be a wine shop opened by a young man named Xin. One day, a Taoist priest, in gratitude for free wine, drew a magic crane on the wall of the shop and instructed it to dance whenever it heard clapping. Thousands of people came to see the spectacle and the wine shop was always full of guests. After 10 years, the Taoist priest revisited the wine shop. He played the flute and then rode on the crane to the sky. In memory of the supernatural encounter and the priest, the Xins built a tower and named it Yellow Crane Tower. 黄鹤楼这个美丽的名称来自一段美丽的神化传说。
很久以前，有一个姓辛的人在黄鹄山头卖酒度日。一天，有位衣衫褴褛的老道蹒跚而来，向他讨酒喝，辛氏慷慨答应。老道非常感激辛氏，于是在酒店画一幅鹤。老道对辛氏说：只要你拍手相招，黄鹤便会下来，为酒客跳舞助兴。消息传开后，吸引了武汉三镇的老百姓和远近的游人，都来店中看黄鹤起舞。从此酒店生意兴隆。十年后的一天，老道又出现在酒店，吹起铁笛，马上黄鹤飞走了。为几年这个奇异的相逢，辛氏建了一个塔并叫它黄鹤楼。
According to records, the tower was first built in 223 A.D during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280). After completion, the tower served as a gathering place for celebrities and poets to party and compose poetry. It was estimated that up to the Tongzhi Reign of the Qing dynasty, as many as 300 poems about the tower had been found in historical literature. Cui Hao, a famous poet during the Tang dynasty (618-907), made the tower well known throughout China with his poem "Yellow Crane Tower".
根据记载，黄鹤楼始建于公元223年，历经三国时期（220-280）。竣工后，这里成为名人和诗人作诗和聚会的集会场所。据估计, 到清代咸同年间统治期间, 在历史文献中以找到多达300首关于黄鹤楼的诗。崔颢，一位唐代（618-907）著名的诗人，作了一首诗叫《黄鹤楼》从此使黄鹤楼闻名于世。
Destroyed many times in successive dynasties, the tower was rebuilt time and again until 100 years ago when it was, for the last time, reduced to ashes. 化为灰烬 The present tower is a complete reconstruction and is the result of four years of work beginning in 1981. Where the old tower was only 15 meters wide, the ground floor of the new structure was increased to 20 meters wide. The tower, 51.4 meters high, is five-storied with yellow tiles and red pillars, overlapping ridges and interlocking eaves, more magnificent than the old one.
The new Yellow Crane Tower is regarded as the symbol of Wuhan city.
