聊一聊紅場的歷史，它的名字的起源于什么

 
A: Dr Prince, how are you enjoying it so far?

普林斯博士，到目前為止，你玩得開心嗎？
 
B: Well, I must say it's very exciting to be in Russia.

哦，我得說俄羅斯真令人興奮。
 
A: I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. Today, Red Square and the Krenllin.

很高興你能喜歡。今天我們?nèi)ゼt場和克里姆林官看看。
 
B: Wonderful! I can see the Kremlin over diere, on the left. And across there is the historic merchant quarter, known as "kitai  Gorod".

太好了！我能看到那邊的克里姆林官，在左側(cè)。穿過去是歷史上著名的商業(yè)區(qū)．就是大家熟知的“中國城”。
 
A: The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currendy the official residence of the President of Russia, from kirai Gorod

紅場把克里姆林宮和“中國城”分隔開。前者是以前王室的城堡，現(xiàn)在是俄羅斯總統(tǒng)的官邸。
 
B: I think the reason that most people say this is the centre of Moscow. even Russia, is because all the major streets go from here out to the highways.

我想大多數(shù)人說這里是莫斯科乃至俄羅斯的中心，其原因是所有的主要街道都是在此交匯，通向高速公路。
 
A: Yes, that's true. Do you know the history of the square, its name for example?

是的，就是這樣。你知道這個廣場的歷史嗎？比如說它的名字？
 
B: The name Red Square derives from the Russian word "krasnaya" which means "red".

紅場的名字源于俄語單詞krasnaya．意思是“紅色”。
 
A: Spot on! Also, it was first known as the centre many years ago, in the 1400s. The land that the Red Square is situated on was origjnally covered with wooden buildings, which were dangerously susceptible to fires.

完全正確！此外，很多年以前，大約在15地紀(jì)，最早小名是因?yàn)樗鞘薪硇?。它所在的地方原來到處是木結(jié)構(gòu)樓房．非常危險，容易引起火災(zāi)。
 
B: I see.  So, it gradually came to serve as Moscow's primary marketplace. I know that it had other functions too, such as being used for various public ceremonies and occasionally as the coronation site for Russia's tsars.

我明白了。所以，這個地方就逐漸變成了莫斯科的主要集貿(mào)市場。我知道它還有其他的用處，例如用來舉行各種公共儀式，偶爾也作為俄羅斯沙皇舉行加冕禮的地方。
 
A: As you can see, it's a very special and important place.  On to the Kremlin !

你看，這個地方非常特殊、非常重要。接下來我們了廨一下克里姆林官。
 
B: The Kremlin is a national sanctuary and a unique crearion of world culture. It stands on the left bank of the Moscow River, where it joins the Neglinnaya River.

克里姆林官是國家神圣的場所，是世界文化中獨(dú)一無一的建筑藝術(shù)品。它位于莫斯科河的左岸，與涅格林納河交匯的地方。
 
A: Yes. over there as you said.  It used to be built of wood, but again suffered from many Tainitsky Tower.

是的，就像你剛才說的，它就在那邊。過去是木頭結(jié)構(gòu)，也多次發(fā)生火災(zāi)。于1485年重建，當(dāng)時還建了泰尼斯卡亞塔。
 
B: So, from then on they used it in the defense of the state. And now, of course it too is made of red brick.

所以，從那時開始，他們就用這些建筑物來保衛(wèi)國家。當(dāng)然它是用紅磚建成的。
 
A: Today,as in the old day, the square is always full of people. Numerous groups of tourists from different cities in Russia and oveneas come to admire the beauty of these architectural masterpieces.

和過去一樣，今天的廣場上到處都是人。來自俄羅斯和國外不同城市的無數(shù)旅游團(tuán)都來此欣賞這些美麗的建筑杰作。
 
B: Yes, and me too!

是的，我就是其中一個。
