第二部分 TEXT

Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

參考譯文

19世紀最不尋常的建築也許要數水晶宮了，它是爲1851年的"世界博覽會"而建在海德公園的。這座水晶宮不同於世界上所有的其他建築，因爲它是用鋼和玻璃建成的。它是有史以來最高大的建築物之一，因此，人們從各個國家紛紛前來參觀。大量的商品從世界各地運送到了博覽會，參展的還有很多機器，其中最奇妙的是內史密斯的蒸汽錘。儘管在當時旅行不像現在這麼容易，但汽船還是把成千上萬的參觀者從歐洲大陸送過了英吉利海峽。一到英國，火車就把他們送到了水晶宮。參觀的人數總共是600萬。博覽會的贏利用來建造博物館和高等學校。後來，"水晶宮"被移到了倫敦南部。在1936年被焚燬之前，它一直是世界上最著名的建築物之一。
