中山纪念堂位于广东省广州市越秀区，是广州人民和海外华侨为纪念伟大的民主革命先行者孙中山先生而筹资兴建的纪念性建筑物。它宛如一座巍峨的丰碑，矗立在这片土地上，承载着无数人的敬仰与追思。
【孙中山与革命历程】
Now, do you know who Mr. Sun Yat-sen is? He was the forerunner of China’s great bourgeois democratic revolution. He was born on November 12, 1866 in a farmer’s family in Cuiheng Village in Xiangshan County (now Zhongshan City) of Guangdong. At the age of 12, he went to Honolulu, where his elder brother sent him to a missionary school. Later, he came back to Hong Kong to study western medicine and, after graduation, practiced medicine in Guangzhou and Macao. Ever since he was a child, Sun Yat-sen had been influenced by the Western ideas of Christianity and democracy and this had helped him make up his mind to cure the ills of the old feudal China and turn it into a democratic and strong nation.
然而，你们认识孙中山先生是谁吗？(汉译英)孙中山先生是中国伟大的资产阶级民主革命的先行者，1866年11月12日出生于广东香山县(即今中山市)翠亨村。他12 岁时随兄去美国夏威夷教会学校读书，后回香港西医学堂学医，学成后在广州和澳门行医。(英译汉)孙中山童年时期起就受西方民主思想的影响，从小就矢志于把中国建成一个民主、 富强的国家。
At first, Sun Yat-sen had illusions about the Qing government and hoped to save this moribund regime through reforms. But later, foreign powers’ invasion and the Qing government’s corruption made him realize that the Qing court was rotten to the core. To reform China, it was essential to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a republican government.
(汉译英)孙中山早期曾对清政府存有幻想，曾向清朝统治者提出革新政治的主张，但帝国主义列强对中国的侵略和清政府的腐败无能使他认识到，要振兴中华就必须推翻满清王朝，建立民国。（1.孙中山为什么放弃对清朝政府的幻想,并决定推翻它?）
Then in 1894, in Honolulu, Sun Yat-sen founded the earliest Chinese bourgeois revolutionary organization-- the Society for the Revival of China (the Xing Zhong Hui). In the following spring, he staged the first armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty in Guangzhou; but it ended in failure.
于是，(英译汉)1894年，孙中山在美国檀香山组建了中国最早的资产阶级革命团体——兴中会；次年春天，在广州发动了旨在推翻满清王朝的第一次武装起义，但起义失败了。
In 1905, in Japan, Sun Yat-sen founded China’s first political party called “China Revolutionary League” (the Tong Meng Hui), which later developed into the Nationalist Party (the Guomintang). Since then, he had made successive attempts to topple the Qing government and finally succeeded in the Wuchang Uprising that broke out in October 1911. The Qing Dynasty was finally overthrown and he was elected the provisional president of the interim government of the Republic of China.
(汉译英)1905年，孙中山在日本成立了中国第一个革命政党同盟会（即国民党的前身），致力于推翻清朝的革命斗争，并最终于1911年发动的武昌起义中取得成功，建立了中华民国，孙中山被推选为临时大总统。（2.孙中山于何时,何地建立了中国第一个政党?）
Sun Yat-sen had devoted all his life to the Chinese democratic revolution. The 1911 Revolution he led had put an end to the feudal monarchy that had existed in China for thousands years. To honour his great contributions to the Chinese revolution, Guangzhou people built this memorial hall in 1929 to1931, on the original site of the former presidential palace to the South Revolutionary Government.
(英汉互译)孙中山为中国的民主革命奋斗终生，他所领导的辛亥革命推翻了在中国存在了几千年的封建帝制；广州人民为了纪念他的功绩，在当年南方革命政府总统府所在地建造了这座中山纪念堂。
After the previous introduction, I think all of you have a better understanding of Sun Yet-Sen and I would continue the introduction of the structure of the memorial hall.
在前面的介绍之后，我想大家对孙中山有了更好的了解，我将继续讲解这个景点主建筑的结构。
【建筑特色】
When we stand in front of the square of the Memorial Hall, the first thing that catches our eyes is the gigantic bronze statue of Sun Yet-Sen, it’s 5.5 meters heights and 3.9 tons heavy. Behind the statue is the memorial hall. On its eave are the four characters “Tian Xia Wei Gong”, the motto of Sun Yet-Sen, meaning “The Country Belongs to the People” or literally “Let Public Spirited Rule under the Sky”.
当我们站在中山纪念堂的广场前，首先映入眼帘的是那巨大的孙中山铜像，这座铜像高 5.5 米,重 3.9 吨。铜像后面是纪念馆。纪念馆外立面的一个屋檐上写着孙中山的座右铭“天下为公”四个字,意思是“国家属于人民”，字面意思是“让民主精神统领国家”。
The construction of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was completed in October 1931. It is an octagonal palace-like reinforced concrete structure, 58 meters high with a floor area of 12,000 square meters. It looks like a traditional Chinese palace in appearance but was constructed with modern architectural technique. The magnificent Memorial Hall was designed by an outstanding young Chinese architect, Lv Yanzhi, who was born in Tianjin, graduated from the Tsinghua University and later studied architecture at Cornell University in the US. Unfortunately, he died of lung cancer in 1929, at the age of 36, before the hall’s completion.
(英汉互译)中山纪念堂于1931年10月建成，其主体建筑高58米，建筑面积1.2万平方米。它是一座八角形的宫殿式钢筋混凝土建筑；在外形上具有中国传统建筑艺术风格，在结构上则采用了当时最新的建筑技术。（4.中山纪念堂的外观和技术有什么特色?）(英译汉)中山纪念堂由中国近代杰出的建筑师吕彦直先生设计。吕彦直出生在天津，北京清华大学毕业，后赴美国康奈尔大学学习建筑，1929年在纪念堂落成之前因患肺癌病逝，时年仅36岁。（3.请你简要介绍中山纪念堂的设计师。）
When we walk into the interior of the memorial hall, we can feel the ingenious design and the rational layout. Inside is a conference hall with a seating capacity of 3,238 people. Most impressively, there is no pillar blocking the view because the 8 pillars are cleverly hidden in the walls, with the roof supported by 4 long-spanned steel trusses. The acoustics are excellent, with no echo at all.
走进纪念堂内部，我们可以感受到其设计的精巧与布局的合理。(英汉互译)中山纪念堂是一个能容纳3238名观众的大会堂；最绝的是会堂内看不到一根支撑柱子，整个大屋顶由4个大跨度的大型钢桁架支撑，8根柱子都巧妙地隐藏在墙内。观众坐在大堂内任何一个座位都不会被柱子遮档视线；而且，堂内没有回音，音响效果极好。（5.请问设计师采用了哪些现代建筑技术来建造中山纪念堂?）
(Standing in this spacious main hall, you can feel great inclusiveness and openness. Now, looking up, the ceiling is extremely exquisite—traditional Chinese designs and symbolic geometric figures intertwined into a colorful picture. Countless wonderful performances and important meetings have taken place on the stage. Passionate music once echoed, and sparks of thought collided fiercely. Every activity has breathed new life into the hall. 站在宽敞的大堂里，能感受到包容与开阔。抬头看，天花板很精致——中式传统花纹和几何图形交织成绚丽景象。大堂舞台上办过无数精彩演出和重要会议，当年音乐激昂回荡，思想火花激烈碰撞，每一场活动都给这座纪念堂注入了新活力。）
【其他】
Walking out of the indoor, we arrive at the back of the memorial hall. You can see a 2-storeyd reinforced concrete buildings on both sides-- Sun Yat-sen’s Historical Exhibition Hall on the left and the Administration Center on the right. Here are planted over 70 species of trees and flowers. Beside the administration centre stands a 350-year-old kapok tree, known as the “King of Kapoks”. In front of the hall are two magnolia trees over 110 years old, each 90 centimeters in diameter with a shade covering over 200 square meters.
现在我们位于纪念堂后，你们可以看到两边都有一座两层楼高的钢筋混凝土建筑。左边是孙中山史迹陈列馆，右边是管理中心。这里种植着 70多种树木和花卉,其中一棵树龄超过 350 年的木棉树位于管理处旁，这棵木棉树被称为木棉之王。纪念堂前有两颗 110 年以上的木兰树，其直径达 90厘米，树荫覆盖面均超过 200 平方米。
