北师大版高中英语模块7--Unit 24 Lesson3-4

（单词翻译）

[00:01.08]E Hutongs are still an integral¹ part
[00:05.48]of Beijing life.
[00:07.14]They make up one third of the city's
[00:08.86]residential areas and house
[00:10.85]almost half the city's population.
[00:13.39]And it is not surprising that tourists
[00:15.24]are fascinated² by the hutongs,
[00:17.32]when you think that they can walk up
[00:18.85]Sanmiao Street,which dates back 900 years!
[00:22.80]Or wander down Rongxian-
[00:24.88]the longest hutong at 2 km
[00:27.69]or squeeze through Qianshe-
[00:29.76]the narrowest at only 40 cm wide!
[00:33.19]The hutongs not only link Beijing's streets
[00:35.68]and communities but also its past and present,
[00:39.03]showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet
[00:41.68]modern city.
