2024年12月英語四級翻譯預測：故宮

故宮(the Imperial Palace)，也稱紫禁城，位于北京市中心，占地面積達72萬平方米，是中國也是世界現(xiàn)存規(guī)模最大、最完整的古代皇家建筑群(complex)。故宮于1406年動工興建，耗時14年建成，距今已有590多年的歷史。明清兩代共有24位皇帝曾在這里生活居住。故宮建筑群極好地體現(xiàn)了中國古代建筑藝術的特點和風格，是中國乃至世界建筑史上當之無愧的經(jīng)典。

Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Imperial Palace, or the Forbidden City which takes up an area of 720 000 square meters is the largest and most complete ancient imperial building complex existing in China as well as in the world. The Imperial Palace was started to be built in 1406 and completed 14 years later, having a history of more than 590 years. Twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties had ever lived here. The building complex of the Forbidden City fully embodies the artistic features and styles of ancient Chinese architecture, and can be deservedly called a masterpiece in Chinese, even the world architectural history.
