6. Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées[qh]
凱旋門和香榭麗舍大街[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]
凱旋門高164英尺,是拿破侖一世為了顯示軍事實力,紀念勝利而下令修建的
。凱旋門建于一個領袖為自己樹碑昭示自己個人功績的時代 。凱旋門雕刻精美,紀念拿破侖的將軍和士兵 。參觀凱旋門同樣要走一走香榭麗舍大街,你會覺得自己都變得偉大了 。[qh]
