The Acropolis9, or “high city,” stands on a hill overlooking the city. Western civilization's most important ancient monument10 was built by Pericles, the leader of Athens from 461-429 B.C. He spared no expense11 when he constructed the buildings of the Acropolis. He used only the best materials, architects and artists. His artists created huge statues of marble12 and covered them with gold and jewels. Sadly, only ruins remain of this “high city” of temples.
阿克罗波利斯,或称“高城”,耸立在一座山上俯瞰全城。它是西方文明最重要的古老遗迹,由公元前461至429年间的雅典统治者——伯里克利所建。他不惜成本建造阿克罗波利斯。他只用最好的材料、建筑师和艺术家。他的艺术家雕刻了巨大的大理石雕像,外镶以黄金和宝石。可惜的是,这个由神殿组成的“高城”如今只剩下一片废墟。
More treasure of ancient Greece lies in the National Archaeological13 Museum. Opened in 1874, the museum contains the best collection of Greek art in the world. It is crammed14 with treasures—more than visitors can see in a single visit. Visitors can view treasures from all the ancient civilizations that controlled the city throughout history. The vases, statues, carvings and other art objects show the life of those who lived in ages past.
