柏林——历史的见证

陈　亚

Berlin is the capital of Germany. It is famous for its beautiful scenes and complex history.

In the August of 1961, Berlin was divided into two parts: East Berlin and West Berlin. The Communist Government of the east built a 100-mile long Berlin Wall. On October 3,1990, the east and the west unified again. The Berlin Wall was pushed over. A few sections of the wall were left to remind the 28-year division of the city.

Another famous building is the Victory Column. It is 61.5m high and on the top of the column, the victory goddess stands there.

There are many museums in Berlin. Seven of them are on Museum Island and a few are in the city. The Checkpoint Charlie Museum is one of the most visited museums. There are a lot of pictures on display to show the history and real life of people before the Wall was pushed over. There is a Jewish Museum in Berlin.

The parks, the Brandenburger Door, Gendermen Yard and the streets are very beautiful. In the zoo, we even can visit several giant pandas that come from China!

柏林是德国的首都，它以历史复杂，景色优美而著称。

1961年8月，柏林被分为东柏林和西柏林。东柏林的共产党政府在分界处筑起一道100英里的城墙。1990年10月3日，东德和西德统一，柏林墙被推倒，只留下几段作为28年分裂的纪念。

另一处有名的建筑是胜利女神柱。胜利女神高高矗立在61.5米高的柱上，俯瞰着这座城市。

柏林有许多的博物馆。博物馆岛上云集了7个，市区里还有几个。柏林墙博物馆是游人最多的一个。那里陈列着许多照片，展示了柏林墙被推倒之前的历史和人们的生活。在柏林还有一个犹太人博物馆。

博兰登堡门、尚达门场、柏林的公园和宽阔的大街都十分美丽。在动物园里，人们甚至还能见到来自中国的大熊猫！
