Members of a Beijing diving club had the chance to experience China's Great Wall
北京潛水俱樂部的會員有機會通過他人少有的方式體驗長城，
in a way few others have by exploring a section of the landmark that was submerged in the cloudy waters of a reservoir.
他們將探索該里程碑淹沒在茫茫水庫中的一部分。
"There is no doubting that the Great Wall of China is, er, is one of the greatest historical artifacts in the world.
“毫無疑問，中國長城是世界上的一個歷史性的杰作。
And to be able to see and experience a part of it in a way that, uh, very few other people get to do,
通過那種很少有人經(jīng)歷的方式來觀看和體驗萬里長城的一部分，
with all the added romance of being underwater, I, I think that's a very special experience and it's a way to get in touch with history
在加上水下所增加的浪漫氣息，我認為是一次非常特別的經(jīng)歷，是接觸歷史的一種方式，
and a way that few people get the opportunity to do."
是其他人沒有機會經(jīng)歷的一種方式。”
Built to ward off invaders, the Great Wall of China was constructed in sections over several centuries.
萬里長城為了抵御入侵而建造，分了幾個段落，經(jīng)歷了幾個世紀才建成。
Construction began in the 3rd century BC. Sections were then built and rebuilt through the 16th century A.D.
建造工作從公元前3世紀開始，一直到公元16世紀，都在不段擴建和重建。
In the early 1980s, the Chinese government flooded the northern coastal area of Tianjin crossed by the Great Wall to resolve water shortages.
上世紀80年代，中國政府為了解決水資源短缺的問題，使得天津以北沿海地區(qū)長城的一部分被淹沒。
It's reported that most of the submerged section of the Great Wall now lies at a maximum depth of 65 feet.
據(jù)報道，長城被淹沒的工段大部分最深處達到65英尺。
