难句剖析

导读诱思

The Great Wall was listed as the third most popular “bucket list” destination1 for British travelers,just behind the Grand Canyon in the US and Machu Picchu in Peru,according to the Daily Mail. So,what makes British people so interested in visiting this famous Chinese landmark2?Speaking as a British person,it’s probably a mix of its size and its reputation3. The Great Wall is one of the first things any foreigner hears about when they are told about China as a young person.The famous hearsay4 that it can be seen from the moon may not be true,but it certainly helps to make it seem amazing and larger-than-life when you first hear of it.
