美国总统
富兰克林· 罗斯福
富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福（英语：Franklin D.Roosevelt，1882年1月30日－ 1945年4月12日），史称“小罗斯福”，美国第 32任总统，美国历史上唯一连任超 过两届（连任四届，病逝于第四届任期中）的总统，美国迄今为止在任时间最长的 总统。罗斯福家族在美国大约有近300年的历史，美国第26任总统西奥多·罗斯福是 富兰克林·罗斯福的堂叔。 在1930年代经济大萧条期间，罗斯福推行新政以提供失业救济与复苏经济，并成立 众多机构来改革经济和银行体系，从经济危机的深渊中挽救了美国，他所发起的一 些计划仍继续在国家的商贸中扮演重要角色。除此之外，在其任内设立的一些制度 仍然保留至今。罗斯福曾促成了政党重组，他与其妻埃莉诺·罗斯福至今仍是美国现 代自由主义的典范。 罗斯福是第二次世界大战期间同盟国阵营的重要领导人之一。1941年珍珠港事件发 生后，罗斯福力主对日本宣战，并引进了价格管制和配给。罗斯福以租借法案使美 国转变为“民主国家的兵工厂”，使美国成为同盟国主要的军火供应商和融资者， 也使得美国国内产业大幅扩张，实现充分就业。二战后期同盟国逐渐扭转形势后， 罗斯福对塑造战后世界秩序发挥了关键作用，其影响力在雅尔塔会议及联合国的成 立中尤其明显。后来，在美国协助下，盟军击败德国、意大利和日本。 罗斯福曾多次被评为美国最佳总统。美国的权威期刊《大西洋月刊》评为影响美国 的100位人物第4名。
拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园（Mount Rushmore National Memorial），或译为若 虚莫山，俗称美国总统公园、美国总统山、总统雕像山，是一座坐落于美国南达科 他州基斯通附近的美利坚合众国总统纪念公园（United States Presidential Memorial）。公园内有四座高达60英尺（约合18米）的美国历史上著名的前总统 头像，他们分别是华盛顿、杰斐逊、老罗斯福和林肯，这四位总统被认为代表了美 国建国150年来的历史。整个公园占地面积1278英亩（5.17平方公里），最高处海 拔为5725 英尺 （1745 米）。公园由美国内政部下属的一个分局——美国国家公 园管理局进行管理，每年能吸引大约两百万游客前来观光旅游。 1885年，美国纽约的著名律师查尔斯·E·拉什莫尔将其在南达科他州布拉克山所拥 有的矿山附近的一座花岗岩山以其姓氏命名为“拉什莫尔山”，这就是拉什莫尔山 名字的来由。数十年后拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园的建造计划正式启动后，拉什莫尔 本人还曾捐助了5000美元。在拉什莫尔山上建造雕塑的初衷是为了吸引更多的人们 前来布拉克山地区旅游，然而这个建造计划却引发了美国国会和时任总统卡尔文·柯 立芝之间旷日持久的争论。最终，建造计划获得了国会的批准。整个工程的建设于 1927年开始，并于1941年宣告完成。 时至今日，拉什莫尔山不仅成为了一个世界级的旅游胜地，还成为了美国文化中美 国总统的象征。

Mount Rushmore National Memorial, located 23 miles southwest of Rapid City, is something you don't want to miss. It's the greatest FREE Attraction in the US!"Until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away." Those are the famous words Sculptor Gutzon Borglum used to describe the length of time his most famous work, Mt. Rushmore, will endure.The mountain itself was originally named after Charles E. Rushmore, a New York lawyer investigating mining claims in the Black Hills in 1885. Gutzon Borglum chose this mountain due to its height (5700' above sea level), the soft grainy consistency of the granite, and the fact that it catches the sun for the greatest part of the day. The presidents were selected on the basis of what each symbolized. George Washington represents the struggle for independence, Thomas Jefferson the idea of government by the people. Abraham Lincoln for his ideas on equality and the permanent union of the states, and Theodore Roosevelt for the 20th century role of the United States in world affairs. The carving of Mt. Rushmore actually began on August 10, 1927,and spanned a length of 14 years. Only about six and a half years were spent actually carving the mountain, with the rest of the time being spent on weather delays and Borglum's greatest enemy - the lack of funding. The total cost of the project was $900,000. Work continued on the project until the death of Gutzon Borglum in 1941. No carving has been done on the mountain since that time and none is planned in the future.The granite faces of four American presidents' is scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall! President Calvin Coolidge believed Mount Rushmore was "decidedly American in its conception, magnitude and meaning. It is altogether worthy of our country," Coolidge proclaimed at the dedication of the project in 1927.The most spectacular program at Mount Rushmore is the evening lighting ceremony held in the new amphitheater, 9:00 PM sharp. A must see when you are touring the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.A $56 million redevelopment was completed in 1998 with the addition of a new parking structure, amphitheater, museum/theater complex, Visitor Orientation Center, Presidential Trail, gift shop, bookstore, and dining facilities. To complete your Rushmore experience, view the evening lighting ceremony. The National Park Service sponsors a special program Memorial Day through Labor Day. It consists of a 10-minute talk followed by a 20-minute film. The highlight of the evening is the slow exposure of light to the monument until it is fully illuminated. It's a good idea to go early and bring a jacket. Program times are as follows: 9:00-9:30 P.M. lighting ceremony, 9:30-10:30 P.M. illumination. For these traveling in the off season, the faces are illuminated nightly. There are few people who are not subdued by the moments as they gaze upon the beauty of Mt. Rushmore. Just as the monument challenged its creator, so should its splendor challenge its viewer.拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园,也称为美国总统山,位于美国南达科他州。

英文介绍英国的著名景点
英文介绍英国的著名景点1:The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England, rising at Thames Head in Gloucestershire[ 格洛斯特郡（英格兰）], and flowing into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary(河口). It has a special significance in flowing through London, the capital of the United Kingdom, although London only touches a short part of its course. The river is tidal in London with a rise and fall of 7 metres (23 ft) and becomes non-tidal at Teddington [特丁顿（英国国立物理研究所所在地）]Lock. The catchment area covers a large part of South Eastern and Western England and the river is fed by over 20 tributaries. The river contains over 80 islands, and having both seawater and freshwater stretches supports a variety of wildlife.the river has supported human activity from its source to its mouth for thousands of years providing habitation, water power, food and drink. It has also acted as a major highway both for international trade through the Port of London, and internally along its length and connecting to the British canal system. The river’s strategic position has seen it at the centre of many events and fashions in British history, earning it a description by John B urns as ―Liquid History‖. It has been a physical and political boundary over the centuries and generated a range of river crossings. In more recent time the river has become a major leisure area supporting tourism and pleasure outings as well as the sports of rowing, sailing, skiffing, kayaking, and punting. The river has had a special appeal towriters, artists, musicians and film-makers and is well represented in the arts. It is still the subject of various debatesabout its course, nomenclature and history.2:海德公园Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in central London, England and one of the Royal Parks of London, famous for its Speakers' Corner. The park is divided in two by the Serpentine. The park is contiguous with Kensington Gardens; although often still assumed to be part of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens has been technically separate since 1728, when Queen Caroline made a division between the two. Hyde Park covers 142 hectares (350 acres)[and Kensington Gardens (肯辛顿花园(伦敦西区高级住宅区)covers 111 hectares (275 acres),[2] giving an overall area of 253 hectares (625 acres), making the combined area larger than the Principality of Monaco (196 ha/484 acres), though smaller than New York City's Central Park (341 ha/843 acres). To the southeast, outside of the park, is Hyde Park Corner. Although, during daylight, the two parks merge seamlessly into each other, Kensington Gardens closes at dusk but Hyde Park remains open throughout the year from 5 am until midnight. The park was the site of The Great Exhibition of 1851, for which the Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton. The park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations. The Chartists, the Reform League, the Suffragettes and the Stop The War Coalition have all held protests in the park. Many protestors on the Liberty and LivelihoodMarch in 2002 started their march from Hyde Park. On 20 July 1982 in the Hyde Park and Regents Park bombings, two bombs linked to the Provisional Irish Republican Army caused the death of eight members of the Household Cavalry and the Royal Green Jackets and seven horses. Sites of interest in the park include Speakers' Corner (located in the northeast corner near Marble Arch), close to the former site of the Tyburn gallows, andRotten Row, which is the northern boundary of the site of the Crystal Palace. South of the Serpentine is the Diana, Princess of Wales memorial, an oval stone ring fountain opened on 6 July 2004. To the east of the Serpentine, just beyond the dam, is London's Holocaust Memorial. Another memorial in the Park commemorates the victims of the 7/7 terrorist attacks, in the form of 52 steel pillars, one for each of the dead. A magnificent specimen of a botanical curiosity is the Weeping Beech, Fagus sylvatica pendula, cherished as "the upside-down tree". Opposite Hyde Park Corner stands one of the grandest hotels in London, The Lanesborough (Formerly - until the early 1970s- St George's Hospital). Stanhope Lodge (Decimus Burton, 1824–25) at Stanhope Gate,[12] demolished to widen Park Lane, was the home of Samuel Parkes who won the Victoria Cross in the Charge of the Light Brigade. After leaving the army, Parkes became Inspector of the Park Constables of the Park and died in the Lodge on 14 November 1864. In 1867 the policing of the Park was entrusted to the Metropolitan Police, the onlyRoyal Park so managed, due to the potential for trouble at Speaker's Corner. A Metropolitan Police Station ('AH') is situated in the middle of the Park.3：伦敦眼：The Ferris wheel is named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bridge-builder. He began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. Ferris understood the growing need for structural steel and founded G.W.G. Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders. Ferris designed and built the Chicago Wheel[1][2] for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Thewheel was intended as a rival to the 324-metre (1,060 ft) Eiffel Tower, the centerpiece of the 1889 Paris Exposition. It was the largest attraction at the Columbian Exposition, with a height of 80 metres (260 ft), and was powered by two steam engines. The axle, a single 700.000-ton solid hammered steel forging, was forty-five feet long and thirty-two inches in diameter.[3] There were 36 cars, accommodating 40 people each, giving a total capacity of 1,440. It took 190 minutes for the wheel to make two revolutions—the first to make six stops to allow passengers to exit and enter; the 2nd, a single non-stop revolution—and for that, the ticket holder paid 50 cents. When the Exposition ended, the wheel was moved to the north side, next to an exclusive neighborhood.William D. Boyce filed an unsuccessful Circuit Court action against the owners of the wheel, to have it moved. It was then used at the St. Louis 1904 World's Fair and eventually destroyed by controlled demolition using dynamite on May 11, 1906.[4] The Wiener Riesenrad is a surviving example of nineteenth century Ferris wheels. Erected in 1897 in the Prater park in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna, Austria, it has a height of 64.75 metres (212.4 ft).[5] Following the demolition of the 100-metre (330 ft) Grande Roue de Paris in 1920,[6] the Riesenrad was the world's tallest extant Ferris wheel until the construction of the 85-metre (280 ft) Technocosmos for Expo '85 in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.。

Congress approved the project in 1925, but work didn't begin until October 4, 1927.国会于1925年批准了该项目，但直到1927年10月4日才开始工作。
Over the next 14 years, 400 workers blasted more than 400,000 tons of rock off the mountainside using dynamite, finishing the details with jackhammers and chisels.在接下来的14年里，400名工人用炸药从山坡上炸开了40多万吨岩石，并用手提钻和凿子完成了细节。
Arizona the grand canyon national park
The South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon is expensive and overcrowded, and there is usually a shortage of parking and accommodation, but that of course doesn't matter as the canyon is the most famous natural attraction in theUSAand possibly in the world. Noone forgets their first sight of theGrand Canyonand it will never fail to impress or offer something new, no matter how often it is visited.
The 1.2 million acre park is home to numerous animals (from the endangered California condor above, to cougars, rattlesnakes and Gila monsters below), over 1,500 species of plants, archaeological sites dating back thousands of years, and one of the most complete geologic cross sections visible anywhere on the planet. Sustaining these plant and animal communities, as well as carving the Canyon ever-deeper, is the powerfulColorado River, the lifeblood of the desert Southwest.

公园简介英文范文(二)Canary SpringYellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, though it also extends into Montana and Idaho. The Yellowstone was the first national park in the world, and is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest isdominant.Indigenous Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. The region was bypassed during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early to mid-1800s, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. The U.S. Army was commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than 1,000 archaeological sites.Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468 square miles (8,980 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano; it has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the worlds geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the GreaterYellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining, nearly intact ecosystem in the Earths northern temperate zone.Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Grizzly Bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in the park. Forest fires occur in the park each year; in the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park burned. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobile公园简介英文范文(三)Central Park is a large public, urban park in New York City, with about twenty-five million visitors annually. Most of the areas immediately adjacent to the park are known for impressive buildings and valuable real estate. Central Park has been a National Historic Landmark since 1963. The park is maintained by the Central Park Conservancy and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and architect Calvert Vaux. While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscaped. It contains severalnatural-looking lakes and ponds, extensive walking tracks, two ice-skating rinks, the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, a wildlife sanctuary, a large area of natural woods, a reservoir with an encircling running track, and the outdoor Delacorte Theater which hosts the Shakespeare in the Park summer festivals.The park also serves as an oasis for migrating birds.公园简介英文范文相关。
