旅游英語：紫禁城是明清兩代的皇宮

Lily：

Isn't the palace museum called "the Forbidden City?"

你說的故宮是不是紫禁城? 

Tom：

 

Yes, it was. The Forbidden City is the imperial palace for the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now it is referred to as the "Palace Musuem."

對，故宮就是紫禁城，紫禁城是明清兩代的皇宮，故宮是后來的名字。

Lily：

From the looks of this picture, it seems like the Forbidden City is well-preserved.

從照片上看，故宮保存得非常完好。

Tom：

With more than 500 years of history, it is the largest and most well-preserved imperial residence in China.

故宮有五百多年的歷史了，這是中國最大、保存最完整的皇宮建筑了。

Lily：

The Forbidden City must be the most famous cultural relic in China, huh?

故宮應該是中國最著名的文化遺址吧?

Tom：

Yeah, it was also recognized as a world cultural legacy by UNESCO in 1988.

是啊，1988年還被聯(lián)合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產(chǎn)呢。
