6. Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées[qh]
凯旋门和香榭丽舍大街[qh]
The 164-foot Arc de Triomphe commissioned by Emperor Napoléon I does exactly what it was made to do: evoke sheer military power and triumph. It was built in an age when leaders erected monuments in their own honor, and scaled to their egos. The arch's beautiful sculptures and reliefs commemorate Napoléon's generals and soldiers. Visit the Arc de Triomphe to begin or culminate a walk down the equally grandiose Avenue des Champs-Elysées. You can't help but feel grand yourself.[qh]
凯旋门高164英尺,是拿破仑一世为了显示军事实力,纪念胜利而下令修建的
。凯旋门建于一个领袖为自己树碑昭示自己个人功绩的时代 。凯旋门雕刻精美,纪念拿破仑的将军和士兵 。参观凯旋门同样要走一走香榭丽舍大街,你会觉得自己都变得伟大了 。[qh]
