IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM

Frederick William

Ⅰ，

the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that

his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history .

This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons

of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful

yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style

popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels ,

which took the country's best artists about ten years to make .

第一单元

文化遗产

普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一 世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊

奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几 吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像

蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋 的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当

时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金 和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。

In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the

palace of Frederick

Ⅰ

. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William

Ⅰ

,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it

to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.

So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St

four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall

for important visitors .

事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这 是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁

士下一任国王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特 烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在

1716

年他

把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成

为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接

待处。

Later,Catherine

Ⅱ

had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St

Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more

details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six

hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.

Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the

world , it is now missing .

后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术

家加了跟多的细节在里面。在

1770

年琥 珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近

600

只蜡烛在

屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一

的琥珀屋现在丢失了。

In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time

when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer

palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects

from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room

itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven

woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for

Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After

that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery .

在

1941

年

9

月，纳粹军队在 圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹

去到避暑地方之前，俄国人民能够 从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳

粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天 内

100000

多片琥珀被放进

27< /p>

个木箱里。这些箱子无疑

会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的 海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马

仍然是个迷。

Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the

summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have

made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of

St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city .

近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀 屋，通过研究琥珀屋原来的

照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。

2003

年春，圣彼得堡人民就用它

来庆祝该 市建成

30

周年。

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

What is a fact Is it something that people believe No. A fact is anything

that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people

than any other country in the world. This is a fact.

一个事实还是一个观点

什么是事实呢 是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢不是。事实是可以证实的信息。举例来

说，中国人口比世 界上任何其它国家的人口都多，这是可以得到证实的。

Then what is an opinion An opinion is what someone believes is true but

has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For

example, it i

s an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It

may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this

opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.

那么，什么是看法呢？看法是人们相信是真实的但是未 经证实。因此，在审判中，看

法不是强有力的证据，举例来说，如果你说：“猫作为宠物 比狗好。”这就是看法，这个

看法可能是正确的，但是它难以被证实。有些人可能同意这 种看法，但是他们也不能证明

他们是正确的。

In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which

not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or

where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the

eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than

opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

在审判中，法官必须断定哪些证明人可以相信，哪些证人不能相信，法官并不考虑证

< br>人的长相如何，也不考虑这个人住在哪里，在哪儿工作，他们关心的是目击者是否提供了

< br>真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而不是个人观点或看法，这种信息就叫做证据。

Unit 2

AN INTERVIEW

Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a

magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic

Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece” and I

used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago. I’ve come to your time

to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004

they were held in my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern

Olympics?

L: Good heavens! Have you really come from so long ago But of course you can

ask any questions you like. What would you like to know?

P: How often do you hold your Games?

L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games-the Winter and Summer

Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular basis. The Winter

Olympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games. Only athletes who

have reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as

competitors. They may come from anywhere in the world.

P: Winter Games How can the runners enjoy competing in winter And what about

the horses

L: Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events. Instead there are

competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice.

That’s why

they’re called the Winter Olympics. It’s in the Summer Olympics that you

have the running races, together with swimming, sailing and all the team

sports.

P: I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world.

Do you mean the Greek world Our Greek cities used to compete against each

other just for the honour of winning. No other countries could join in, nor

could slaves or women!

L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough. There

are over 250 sports and each on has its own standard. Women are not only

allowed, but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team sports

and …

P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even women

taking part! Where are all the athletes housed?

L: For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a main

reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well.

P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?

L: As a mat

ter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. It’s a great

responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen. There’s as much

competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals. The

2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that?

P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.

L: Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London. They

have already started planning for it. A new village for the athletes and all

the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New medals will be designed

of course and …

P: Did you say medals So even the olive wreath has been replaced! Oh dear! Do

you compete for prize money too

L: No, we don’t. it’s still all about being able to run faster, jump higher

and throw further.

That’s the motto of the Olympics, you know

-

“Swifter,

Higher and Stronger.”

P: Well, that’s good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.

愿者李岩

P:

我是帕萨尼亚斯。我住在 你们所说的“古希腊”而且在很久之前我常常写以一些关于奥

林匹克运动会的事情。我来 到你的时代是为了解关于现代奥林匹克运动会因为我知道

2004

题么 ？

四年一次。有两种主要的运动会形式

冬季和夏季奥运会，并且在一个有规律的基础上

他们都是四 年举办一次的。冬季奥运会一般会在夏季奥运会前两年举办。只有达到该项目

既定的标准 的运动员才会被容许成为竞争者。他们可以来自世界各地。

冬季奥运会田径运动员如何在冬季享受比赛还有马术又怎样

L:

冬 季奥运会没有赛跑和骑马的项目。反而会有一些像滑雪和溜冰这些需要雪和冰

的项目。这 就是为神马他成为冬季奥运会。只有在夏季奥运会会有你说赛跑，同时还有游

泳，帆船运 动和所有团队运动。
