3. How long is the Ming Great Wall? 4. What does the guide say about the wall? It’s about 8,850 kilometers long. It’s quite tall and wide. It’s the longest wall in the world. The ancient emperors built it to protect their parts of the country. There are no man-made objects as big as this. Badaling is the most famous part of the Ming Great Wall. 1. Feel free to ask me anything on today’s Great Wall tour. 在今天的长城游中，大家尽管问我任何问题，不要拘束。 feel free是英语口语中一个常用表达。若有人让你feel free to do something,就是让你无需拘束，只管按照自己的意愿去做某事。 e.g. A: Can I use your bathroom? 我可以用一下你的卫生间吗？ B: Yes, feel free.可以，请随意。 Language points 2. As far as I know, there are no man-made objects as big as this. 据我所知，再没有像它这样大的人造物体了。 as far as I know 是一个固定的表达方式，还可以说so far as I know，意思是“据我所知”。 例如： As far as I know, Jack’s got twin sisters. 就我所知，杰克有一对孪生姐妹。 They’re not coming today, so far as I know. 他们今天不来了— 就我所知是这样的。 as far as也可表示“远至” (在否定句中也可用 so far as)。 Practice 我们坐火车到北京，然后转乘公共汽车。 We will go by train as far as Beijing, and than take a bus. 我们不如其他人走得远。 We didn’t go as/so far as the others. man-made为合成形容词，意为“人造的”。 英语中像这样与-made复合而成的形容词还有：handmade(手工制作的)、homemade (家庭制作的)、machine-made (机制的)、tailor-made (量体定制的；特制的；定做的)等，用以描述产品的生产或制造手段、特点等，甚至还有像self-made (自学而成的；自我奋斗而成的；天然形成的)可以用来描述人。 Period 1 1a-2d Unit 7 What’s the highest mountain in the world?
