2012骏马飞驰
巴黎凯旋门（Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile），又称雄狮凯旋门。位于法国巴黎的戴高乐广场中央，是拿破仑为纪念1805年打败俄奥联军的胜利，于1806年下令修建而成的。拿破仑被推翻后，凯旋门工程中途辍止。波旁王朝被推翻后又重新复工，到1836年终于全部竣工。 1805年12月2日，拿破仑率领的法国军队在奥斯特利茨战役中击败了俄奥联军，法国的国威达到史无前例的顶峰。为了炫耀国力，并庆祝战争的胜利，在1806年2月12日拿破仑宣布在星形广场（今戴高乐广场）兴建“一道伟大的雕塑”，迎接日后凯旋而归的法军将士。同年8月15日，按照著名建筑师夏尔格兰的设计开始破土动工。但后来拿破仑被推翻后，凯旋门工程中途辍止。1830年波旁王朝被推翻后，工程才得以继续。断断续续经过了30年，凯旋门终于在1836年7月29日举行了落成典礼。巴黎12条大街都以凯旋门为中心，向四周放射，气势磅礴，为欧洲大城市的设计典范。凯旋门高49.54米，宽44.82米，厚22.21米，中心拱门高36.6米，宽14.6米。在凯旋门两面门墩的墙面上，有4组以战争为题材的大型浮雕：“出征”、“胜利”、“和平”和“抵抗”；其中有些人物雕塑还高达五六米。凯旋门的四周都有门，门内刻有跟随拿破仑远征的386名将军和96场胜战的名字，门上刻有1792年至1815年间的法国战事史。凯旋门的拱门上可以乘电梯或登石梯上去，石梯共273级，上去后第一站有一个小型的历史博物馆，里面陈列着有关凯旋门的各种历史文物以及拿破仑生平事迹的图片和法国的各种勋章、奖章。另外，还有两间配有法语解说的电影放映室，专门放映一些反映巴黎历史变迁的资料片。再往上走，就到了凯旋门的顶部平台，从这里可以鸟瞰巴黎名胜。 凯旋门的正下方，是1920年11月11日建造的无名战士墓，墓是平的，地上嵌着红色的墓志∶“这里安息的是为国牺牲的法国军人。”据说，墓中睡着的是在第一次世界大战中牺牲的一位无名战士，他代表着在大战中死难的150万法国官兵。墓前有一长明灯，每天晚上，这里都会点起不灭的火焰。每逢节日，就有一面10多米长的法国国旗从拱门顶端直垂下来，在无名烈士墓上空招展飘扬。 到今天，巴黎人民始终保留着这样的传统：每逢重大节日盛典，一个身穿拿破仑时代盔甲的战士，手持劈刀，守卫在《出征》雕像前，鼓舞法国人民为自由、平等、博爱而战斗。每年的7月14日，法国举国欢庆国庆节时，法国总统都要从凯旋门下通过；而每当法国总统卸职的最后一天也要来此，向无名烈士墓献上一束鲜花。 A triumphal arch is a structure in the shape of a monumental archway, usually built to celebrate a victory in war.

凯旋门简介，中英文对照：
The Arc de Triomphe of the Lion in Paris is located in the centre of the Charles de Gaulle Square in Paris, France, at the west end of Champs Elysees Street.
巴黎凯旋门即雄狮凯旋门，位于法国巴黎的戴高乐广场中央，香榭丽舍大街的西端。
The Arc de Triomphe, as its name implies, is a triumphant gate for the army to go out for battle. It is the largest circular arch in the world today. It is located in the center of Charles de Gaulle Square in central Paris.
凯旋门正如其名，是一座迎接外出征战的军队凯旋的大门。它是现今世界上最大的一座圆拱门，位于巴黎市中心戴高乐广场中央的环岛上面。
The square was also built with the Arc de Triomphe of the Lion, because the completion of the Arc de Triomphe brought inconvenience to traffic.
In the mid-19th century, a circular square and 12 roads were built around the Arc de Triomphe, each of which was 40-80 meters wide and radial, just like the brilliant light of a star. A square is also called Star Square.
这座广场也是配合雄狮凯旋门而修建的，因为凯旋门建成后，给交通带来了不便，于是就在19世纪中叶，环绕凯旋门一周修建了一个圆形广场及12条道路，每条道路都有40～80米宽，呈放射状，就像明星发出的灿烂光芒，因此这个广场又叫明星广场。
The Arc de Triomphe was originally designed by Shaglang and Raymond. Because of disagreement, Raymond resigned two years later.
So the Arc de Triomphe was finally completed according to Shaglang's design. The French National Monument Centre is responsible for maintenance, repair and management.
凯旋门的设计人原来是夏格朗与赖蒙，因意见不合，两年后赖蒙辞去，于是凯旋门最后按照夏格朗的设计完成。由法国国家古迹中心负责维护修缮与管理。
扩展资料
巴黎凯旋门是帝国风格的代表建筑。此种风格的崛起和拿破仑的倡导有着不可分割的关系。它的兴盛与衰败始终都与拿破仑的命运紧紧联系在一起，这些建筑都是以罗马帝国雄伟庄严的建筑为灵感和样板。它们尺度巨大，外形单纯，追求形象的雄伟、冷静和威严。
巴黎凯旋门以古罗马凯旋门为范例，但其规模更为宏大，结构风格更为简洁。整座建筑除了檐部、墙身和墙基以外，不做任何大的分划，不用柱子，连扶壁柱也被免去，更没有线脚。凯旋门摒弃了罗马凯旋门的多个拱券造型，只设一个拱券，简洁庄严。

The Champs Elysées (Elysian fields) were originally nothing but fields, until Marie de Medicis decided in 1616 to put up a long tree-lined pathway. In 1667, Le Notre extended the vista of the Tuileries and the Champs-Elysees became a very fashionable place to walk. In 1724, the avenue was extended up to Chaillot hill, now the site of the Arc de Triomphe and the Etoile.
