雅思描述一个历史人物

㈠ 用英文介绍一个著名人物，要有中文。谢了！

Many traditional Chinese historians, compelled by custom to either praise or condemn historical personages, have found themselves unable to exercise the option in the presence of a man of such giant proportions as the First Emperor of the Qin. How could his grotesque atrocities be condoned? Yet how could his contribution to the nation's unity, conceived with such majestic vision and carried out with so much skill and courage, be passed over without a word of appreciation, if not admiration? A thoughtful reader may be troubled by the savage acts committed by the emperor and his followers, and yet, at another passage, be touched by the many personal risks the First Emperor took and the dauntless determination with which he sought to fulfill a purpose that was above and beyond the scope of an ordinary man's vision.
The accounts in the recorded history portray the First Emperor as vain and, at times, even whimsical. Given the general level of understanding in his time, the accounts of his superstitious tendencies may well be true. Nevertheless, once he is said to have dispatched 3,000 prisoners to deforest a mountain after he was told that the goddess in control of the area had been responsible for the strong wind that had impeded his river crossing. At least on this occasion he was more defiant than fearful of supernatural power. His adaptation of black as the imperial color was epochal in his day. The inscriptions on the stone tablets he erected indicate that next to his concern for the eternal peace of the realm, he greatly valued sexual morality, which he regarded as essential to the well-being of the populace. He had more than twenty sons and at least ten daughters; but except for his promiscuous mother, the chronicles remain absolutely silent about the women in his life. The First Emperor traveled extensively, visiting not only the urban centers but also the great mountains and rivers, the lakes and the high seas. He toured the capital city incognito at night. Although proud of his military exploits, Qin Shi Huang is not known to have ever commanded troops personally. On the other hand, he was a tireless worker. He set quotas for the amount of documents, by weight, that he must dispose of daily, not resting until his work was done. On issues of state affairs he always consulted his advisers first; but the final decisions were always his own. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Qin Shi Huang is that for twelve years his iron-fisted rule never caused a major incident, this over an immense country that had been ravaged by war for decades, and indeed for centuries.
He left a position that no one could fill. Immediately after his death, palace conspiracies and machinations set the emperor's chief advisers, chamberlains, and sons to plotting against one another. Within a year popular uprisings erupted in the commanderies, and in another three years the Qin fell and all the close relatives of Qin Shi huang and all the key personnel on his staff perished.
传统的中国历史家一向在褒贬品评人物。在临到秦始皇头上时则觉得题材之大，牵涉之多，不容易随便处置。他的残酷无道达到离奇之境界，如何可以不受谴责？可是他统一中国的工作，用这样长远的眼光设计．又用这样精到的手腕完成，又何能不加仰慕？一个思想周密的读者可能因秦始皇和他的随从的野蛮行径而感到困恼，可是在另一段文字里，又为他不断地努力企图实现他超过匹夫匹妇所敢于想像的计谋，甚至冒着无限的危险，不折不挠地执行而感动。
历史记载中的始皇，显示他虚荣心重，有时尚且行止古怪。在当日一般情形之下，所述迷信的趋向很可能是事实。史书中提及他有一次因风受阻而不能渡湘水，归罪湘君女神作祟，于是遣发3000囚徒，去砍伐山上的树木以资报复，可见得他在和超自然的力量作对，而不是震惑于超自然的力量。他以黑色代表帝国之色彩也是超时代的独创。从他所树碑文看来，他除了重视域内长久的和平之外，也极端注重性道德，认为与全民的休戚有关。他有20多个儿子和至少10个女儿。史籍上除了提及他多夫的母亲之外，对他一生有关的女子只字未提。始皇帝游历极为广泛，他不仅履足于市尘，而且遍历名山大川，他曾在夜间微服巡行国都之内。虽说始皇爱征伐，他却从未统帅三军。此外他是一个不畏疲劳的工作者，他预定每天必须过目的竹简，以重量作进度，不到目标不得休息。在有关国家大计的场合他总先咨询下属，可是最后的决策，始终出于他本身。可能最值得注意的是秦始皇铁腕统治全国12年的时间，从未发生重大的事变。这是一个泱泱大国，前后遭兵燹几十载，而且追溯到以往的震荡局面，尚可以包括几百年。
他遗留下的位置，没有人能接替。他刚一去世，丞相宦官和皇子以阴谋和政变彼此残害。一年之内，全国各郡里揭竿而起的叛变不知凡几。又3年后秦亡，始皇帝的亲人和重要的随从也全部丧生。

Early in the 15th century, a huge fleet of ships set sail from Nanjing. It was the first of a series of voyages that would, for a brief period, establishChinaas the leading power of the age. The voyage was led by Zheng He, the most important Chinese adventurer of all time and one of the greatest sailors the world has ever known. In fact, some people think he was the original model for the legendary Sinbad the Sailor.
In 1371, Zheng He was born in what is nowYunnanProvinceto Muslim parents, who named him Ma Sanpao. When he was 11 years old, invading Ming armies captured Ma and took him toNanjing. There he was castrated and made to serve as a eunuch in the imperial household.
Ma befriended a prince there who later became the Yong Le Emperor, one of the Ming Dynasty's most distinguished. Brave, strong, intelligent and totally loyal, Ma won the trust of the prince who, after ascending the throne, gave him a new name and made him Grand Imperial Eunuch.
Yong Le was an ambitious emperor who believed thatChina's greatness would be increased with an "open-door" policy regarding international trade and diplomacy. In 1405, he ordered Chinese ships to sail to theIndian Ocean, and put Zheng He in charge of the voyage. Zheng went on to lead seven expeditions in 28 years, visiting more than 40 countries.
Zheng's fleet had more than 300 ships and 30,000 sailors. The largest vessels, 133-meter-long "treasure ships", had up to nine masts and could carry a thousand people. Along with a Han and Muslim crew, Zheng opened up trade routes in Africa,India, andSoutheast Asia.
The voyages helped expand foreign interest in Chinese goods such as silk and porcelain. In addition, Zheng He brought exotic foreign items back toChina, including the first giraffe ever seen there. At the same time, the fleet's obvious strength meant that the Emperor of China commanded respect and inspired fear all overAsia.
While Zheng He's main aim was to show the superiority of Ming China, he often got involved in the local politics of places he visited. InCeylon, for instance, he helped restore the legitimate ruler to the throne. On theislandofSumatra, now part ofIndonesia, he defeated the army of a dangerous pirate and took him toChinafor execution.
Though Zheng He died in 1433 and was probably buried at sea, a grave and small monument to him still exist inJiangsuProvince. Three years after Zheng He's death, a new emperor banned the construction of oceangoing ships, andChina's brief era of naval expansion was over. Chinese policy turned inward, leaving the seas clear for the rising nations ofEurope.

郑和下西洋──三保太监的不朽航程
15世纪初，一支浩浩荡荡的船队从南京启航。这次远航揭开了其后一连串海上航行的序幕，并在短暂时间内为中国确立了大国领先的地位。郑和统帅了这次远航，他是中国历史上最重要的探险家，也是举世闻名的最伟大的航海家之一。事实上，还有些人认为他是传说中水手辛巴达的原型。
公元1371年，郑和出生在现在的云南省的一个穆斯林家庭里。他的父母给他取名为马三保。马三保11岁时，被入侵云南的明军掳至南京，被净身后入宫，选去王府做内宫太监。
马三保在王府期间和王太子成为了好朋友，王子后来成为明成祖永乐皇帝，是明代最出色的皇帝之一。马三保英勇、强壮、足智多谋，又赤胆忠心，因此深得王太子的信赖。王太子登基之后，赐给马三保“郑和”这个新的名字，同时提升他为内宫监太监。
永乐皇帝是个雄心勃勃的皇帝，他相信通过国际贸易及外交上的“门户开放”政策，中国会在世界上享有更高的声望。公元1405年，永乐皇帝下诏让中国船队远航到印度洋，并派遣郑和负责此趟航程。在以后的28年里，郑和连续7次率领了海上远征探险的壮举，访问了40多个国家。
郑和的船队由三百艘大船及三万多名水兵组成。船队中最大的一艘船被称为“宝船”，其船身长达133米，船桅多达九根，可搭载一千人。郑和和汉人与穆斯林船员一起打开了中国在非洲、印度、及东南亚的贸易航线。
这几次远航刺激了外国对中国货物如丝绸、瓷器等的兴趣。此外，郑和也将外国的珍奇宝物带回中国，包括以前没见过的麒麟（长颈鹿）。同时，郑和船队显而易见的强大阵容，意味着中国皇帝获得了亚洲各国的敬畏。
郑和下西洋的主要目的在于宣扬大明的强盛国威，但他经常卷入出访地的政治。例如，在锡兰（即今天的斯里兰卡），他扶持合法统治者重登王位。在苏门答腊岛（今天印尼的一部分)，郑和击退一支由残暴海盗领军的队伍，并将其首领押回中国处死。
郑和于公元1433年去世，并且可能葬身于汪洋大海之中，但江苏省现在仍有他的坟墓和一座小型纪念碑。郑和死后3年，新登基的皇帝下诏禁止远洋船舶的建造，中国这短暂的海军扩张时代也就到此结束了。中国的政策转而向内，把大海完全拱手让给欧洲新兴的国家。

㈡ 用英语描述一个历史人物

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)拿破仑
Emperor of France, Napoleon , One of the greatest military leaders in history and emperor of France, he conquered much of Europe.

Napoleon Bonaparte was born on 15 August 1769 in Corsica into a gentry family. Ecated at military school, he was rapidly promoted and in 1796, was made commander of the French army in Italy, where he forced Austria and its allies to make peace. In 1798, Napoleon conquered Ottoman-ruled Egypt in an attempt to strike at British trade routes with India. He was stranded when his fleet was destroyed by the British at the Battle of the Nile.

France now faced a new coalition - Austria and Russia had allied with Britain. Napoleon returned to Paris where the government was in crisis. In a coup d'etat in November 1799, Napoleon became first consul. In 1802, he was made consul for life and two years later, emperor. He oversaw the centralisation of government, the creation of the Bank of France, the reinstatement of Roman Catholicism as the state religion and law reform with the Code Napoleon.

In 1800, he defeated the Austrians at Marengo. He then negotiated a general European peace which established French power on the continent. In 1803, Britain resumed war with France, later joined by Russia and Austria. Britain inflicted a naval defeat on the French at Trafalgar (1805) so Napoleon abandoned plans to invade England and turned on the Austro-Russian forces, defeating them at Austerlitz later the same year. He gained much new territory, including annexation of Prussian lands which ostensibly gave him control of Europe. The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, Holland and Westphalia created, and over the next five years, Napoleon's relatives and loyalists were installed as leaders (in Holland, Westphalia, Italy, Naples, Spain and Sweden).

In 1810, he had his childless marriage to Josephine de Beauharnais annulled and married the daughter of the Austrian emperor in the hope of having an heir. A son, Napoleon, was born a year later.

The Peninsular War began in 1808. Costly French defeats over the next five years drained French military resources. Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 resulted in a disastrous retreat. The tide started to turn in favour of the allies and in March 1814, Paris fell. Napoleon went into exile on the Mediterranean island of Elba. In March 1815 he escaped and marched on the French capital. The Battle of Waterloo ended his brief second reign. The British imprisoned him on the remote Atlantic island of St Helena, where he died on 5 May 1821.

㈣ 关于中国一位历史人物或一件历史事件的英语论文

既然要古代的,就换个秦始皇的好了:
Qin Shi Huangdi, First Chinese Emperor

A ruler from the western state of Qin united and subjugated the Warring States and formed China in 221 B.C. He declared himself the first emperor of China and named himself Shi Huangdi (meaning First Emperor).

During the Qin (Ch'in) Dynasty (221 B.C. - 206 B.C.), the emperor connected and extended the old fortification walls along the north of China that originated about 700 B.C. (over 2500 years ago), forming the Great Wall of China to stop invading barbarians from the north.

The Emperor standardized Chinese writing, bureaucracy, scholarship, law, currency, weights and measures. He expanded the Chinese empire, built a capital in Xian, a system of roads, and massive fortifications and palaces.

Shi Huangdi (259-210 B.C.) was a cruel ruler who readily killed or banished those who opposed him or his ideas. He is notorious for burning virtually all the books that remained from previous regimes. He even banned scholarly discussions of the past.

The Qin dynasty ended soon after his death, but a unified China remained for over 2,000 years. China's name is derived from his short but seminal dynasty, Qin (pronounced Chin).

补充个历史事件:
The Long March (traditional Chinese: 长征; simplified Chinese: 长征; pinyin: Chángzhēng) was a massive military retreat undertaken by the Red Armies of the Chinese Communist Party, the forerunner of the People's Liberation Army, to evade the pursuit of the Kuomintang (KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party) army. There was not one Long March, but several, as various Communist armies in the south escaped to the north and west. The most well known is the march from Jiangxi province which began in October 1934. The First Front Army of the Chinese Soviet Republic, led by an inexperienced military commission, was on the brink of complete annihilation by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops in their stronghold in Jiangxi province. The Communists, under the eventual command of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, escaped in a circling retreat to the west and north, which reportedly traversed some 12,500 kilometers (8,000 miles) over 370 days.[1] The route passed through some of the most difficult terrain of western China by traveling west, then north, to Shaanxi.

㈥ 雅思口语历史事件怎么说

雅思口语考试只是考考生的英语表达水平，如果你能把描述的事件用专英语说得清楚，那么西安事变属也没关系，这是你选择的自由。但是一般来说，跟我们生活比较相关的事件我们表达起来会觉得比较没有障碍，因为我们比较熟悉并且与我们生活息息相关，所以，可以选取像奥运会、屈原（端午节的由来）、世界杯（运动类）、中国春节的由来，或者一些对人类生活产生重大影响的，唐山大地震。这样应该有些思路了吧:)
主要说一些客观事实，比如事件的时间、地点、人们的反应，不用非要说得像历史书一样深刻~

㈧ 介绍一个历史人物

秦武王（前328—前307年），秦惠文王之子，公元前311年，秦惠文王死，太子嬴荡即位，他就是秦武王。秦武王身高体壮，勇力超人，重武好战，常以斗力为乐，凡是勇力过人者，他都提拔为将，置于身边。乌获和任鄙以勇猛力大闻名，秦武王就破例提拔为将，给予高秩厚禄。齐国人孟贲，力大无穷，勇冠海岱：陆行不怕虎狼，水行不避蛟龙，一人同时可制服两头野牛。听说秦武王重用天下勇士，孟西赴咸阳面见秦武王，被任用为将，与乌获、任鄙享受一样的待遇。

早在秦惠文王时，张仪就入秦献计：秦军东进中原，先取韩国军事重镇、周都洛阳的门户——宜阳，以宜阳为跳板，控制东西二周和周天子，以据有九鼎为象征，挟天子而令诸侯，建立中原霸主之业。由于当时秦惠文王为巩固后方而集中兵力灭蜀，暂把张仪之计搁置一旁。秦武王即位后，已经灭蜀，后方巩固，国力正盛，秦武王欲对外征伐，自然想起了张仪前言。他对右丞相樗里疾、左丞相甘茂说：“寡人生在西戎，没有到过周都洛阳，不知中原怎样繁华。寡人渴望有一天，驾车进入周王畿游历，亲目一睹天子重器九鼎。若能如愿，死也心甘。不知二位，谁能为寡人伐宜阳，进中原?”樗里疾回答：“韩国宜阳城坚兵精，路远道险，倘若魏、赵二国出兵救宜阳，秦军孤军深入险境，一旦失利，后果不堪设想”。

秦武王听了，很不高兴。这时，甘茂说：“伐韩宜阳，必先破韩魏联盟，只要魏国助秦，赵国就不可能越魏救韩，韩被孤立，宜阳城就可能被秦军攻破。”秦武王大喜，即派甘茂出使魏国。甘茂以共享伐韩之利相引诱，与魏王建立了秦魏共伐韩国的联盟。甘茂怕秦武王在伐宜阳期间，听信樗里疾之言而变卦，特派副使向寿报告武王：“魏王已经同意与秦国共伐韩国。虽然得到魏国支持，还是不伐宜阳为好。”武王听了，很不理解，亲自赶到息壤召见甘茂，问甘茂为何改变伐韩计划。甘茂说：“宜阳城池坚固，兵精粮足。秦军冒千里之险攻宜阳，决非短时能够凑效。如果攻宜阳时间延长，必然有人在大王面前诽谤，大王听信小人之言，臣攻宜阳不仅失败，还要身败名裂。”武王坚定地说：“寡人不听小人之言，愿与你定息壤之盟，为你解后顾之忧。”于是君臣当面签订盟约。接着以甘茂为大将，领兵五万伐宜阳。甘茂攻宜阳，长达五个月，没有见效。这时，右丞相樗里疾对武王说：“秦军攻打宜阳城已经五个月，精疲力尽，锐气大丧，再挺下去，恐怕形势要发生变化，不如班师为好。”武王听了，就派人召甘茂班师回朝。甘茂写信一封，让来人带给武王。武王拆信一看，只有“息壤”二字，恍然大悟。于是派出五万援兵，令乌获带领往助甘茂。甘茂得到生力军，兵力大增，遂以乌获为先锋，击退韩国援兵，攻陷了宜阳孤城，斩杀韩军七万人。韩国元气大丧，急忙向秦国求和。

秦军占领宜阳，周都洛阳门户洞开。秦武王亲率任鄙、孟贲精兵强将大举进攻洛阳。周天子无力抵御，只好出迎秦军。秦武王直奔周室太庙，往观九鼎。只见九个宝鼎一字排列在殿堂之内。这九鼎本是大禹收取天下九州的贡金铸成，每鼎代表一州，共有荆、梁、雍、豫、徐、青、扬、兖、冀九州，上刻本州山川人物、土地贡赋之数。武王逐个审视，看到雍州鼎时，对众臣说：“这鼎有人举过吗?”守鼎人回答：“自从有鼎以来，没有听说也没有人见过举鼎，这鼎重达千钧，谁能举得起呀!”武王问任鄙、孟贲二将：“两个人，能举起吗?”任鄙知道武王恃力好胜，婉言辞谢：“臣只能举百钧之物。这鼎重千钧，臣不能胜任。”孟贲伸出两臂走到鼎前，说：“让臣试举，若举不起来，不要怪罪。”说罢，紧束腰带，挽起双袖，手抓两个鼎耳，大喝一声“起!”，只见鼎离地面半尺高，就重重地落下，孟贲感到一阵晕眩，站立不住，幸被左右拉住，没有倒庄地上。武王看了发笑：“你能把鼎举高地面，寡人还不如你吗?”任鄙劝道：“大王万乘之躯，不要轻易试力”。武王固执不听，卸下锦袍王带，束紧腰带，大踏步上前，任鄙拉着武王苦苦劝阻，武王生气地说：“你不能举，还不愿意寡人举吗?”任鄙不敢再劝。武王伸手抓住鼎耳，心想：“孟贲只能举起地面，我举起后应移动几步，才能显出高低”。于是，深吸一口气，使出乎生力气，喝声：“起!”。鼎被举起半尺，武王接着移动左脚，不料右脚独力难支，身子一歪，鼎落地面，正砸到右脚上，武王惨叫一声，倒在地上。众人慌忙上前，把鼎搬开，只见武王右脚足骨被压碎，鲜血流了一滩。等到太医赶来，武王已昏迷不省人事，仍然自言自语；“心愿已了，虽死无恨。”入夜，武王气绝而薨。周赧王闻报大惊，亲往哭吊。右丞相樗里疾护棺回咸阳，立武王异母弟赢稷为王，是为秦昭襄王。安葬之后，樗里疾追究责任，将孟贲五马分尸，诛灭其族；奖励任鄙劝谏之能，升为汉中太守；同时谏议秦昭襄王，追究甘茂耸恿武王入周观鼎之罪。甘茂听到风声，害怕治罪而逃到魏国，至死不敢还秦。
