北国风光,
See what the northern countries show:
Hundreds of leagues ice-bound go;Thousands of leagues flies snow.Behold! Within and without the Great WallThe boundless land is clad in white,And up and down the Yellow River,All the endless waves are lost to sight.Mountains like silver serpents dancing,Highlands like waxy elephants advancing,All try to match the sky in height.Wait till the day is fineAnd see the fair bask in sparkling sunshine,What an enchanting sight!Our motherland so rich in beautyHas made countless heroes vie to pay her their duty.But alas! Qin Huang and Han WuIn culture not well bred,And Tang Zong and Song ZuIn letters not wide read.And Genghis Khan, proud son of heaven for a day,Knew only shooting eagles by bending his bows.They have all passed away;Brilliant heroes are those,*部分图文来源网络，由英语口语（kouyu8）整理编辑
