巴黎是法国政治、文化、经济和交通中心，是举世公认的时尚之都和著名的旅游胜地。如果你有机会去巴黎，下面这些地方可不要错过啊！

Louvre 卢浮宫

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.

卢浮宫是巴黎最具吸引力的景点之一。卢浮宫最初是战略要塞，之后作为皇宫，现在成了国家博物馆。卢浮宫收藏着法国过去五个世纪收集的画作、雕塑和古董。在那里，我们能欣赏到达·芬奇最著名的画作《蒙娜丽莎》。

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.

这座哥特式建筑的奇迹不仅仅是一座建筑，更是这个城市的标志元素之一，已被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产。巴黎圣母院建于12世纪至14世纪。巴黎圣母院里有三个玫瑰花窗（圆形的、巨大的染色玻璃），上面的玻璃都是兴建之初的。在战争中它们被拆卸下来，藏匿于乡间。后来又全部被重新安装上。

The Eiffel Tower 埃菲尔铁塔

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.

埃菲尔铁塔（高307米）为1889年世博会而建，对全世界来说是巴黎的象征。乘坐电梯到顶层，能看见巴黎的全景——周围的景色、博物馆、河流和公园。

Arch of Triumph 凯旋门

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.

从巴黎市中心凯旋门延伸出十二条繁华的大街。凯旋门始建于1806年，是拿破仑为纪念他的胜利而修建的。凯旋门有一个“长明火炬”，每晚点亮以纪念一位被埋在凯旋门下的一战时期的无名战士。

Seine River 塞纳河

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.

塞纳河是法国主要的河流和商业航道。塞纳河长776千米，流经巴黎市，注入英吉利海峡。塞纳河上有很多美丽而古老的桥梁。很多著名的艺术家都描画过这条河流，因为它实在是太美了。如果说巴黎是法国的象征，那么塞纳河两岸就是法国的杰作。

Champs Elysees 香榭丽舍

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.
