Witnessing time
见证时间（历史 ）The Colosseum, Rome, Italy, built in
the first century.The Colosseum 罗马圆形大剧场 （斗兽场）建于公元72至82年间由4万名战俘用8年时间建造起来的，现仅存遗迹。斗兽场专为野蛮的奴隶主和流氓们看角斗而造。现在虽只剩下大半个骨架，但其雄伟之气魄、磅礴之气势犹存。斗兽场平面呈椭圆形，占地约2万平方米，外围墙高57米，相当于现代19层楼房的高度。底层的第一区是皇帝和贵族的座席，第二层为罗马高阶层市民席，第三层则为一般平民席，再往上就是大阳台，一般观众只能在此处站着观看表演了。场内看台共可容纳观众5万多人，底层地面有80个出入口，可确保在15分钟至30分钟内把场内5万观众全部疏散离场。斗兽场的建筑师究为何人，现在还是个未知数。Classical gardens of Suzhou, China,
built between the 11th and 19th centuries.Angkor Wat, a temple complex built in Cambodia
in the 12th century.吴哥窟又称吴哥寺，位在柬埔寨西北方。原始的名字是Vrah Vishnulok，意思为“毗湿奴的神殿”。中国古籍称为“桑香佛舍”。它是吴哥古迹中保存得最完好的的庙宇，以建筑宏伟与浮雕细致闻名于世，也是世界上最大的庙宇。Angkor Wat （柬埔寨的吴哥窟）St Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow, Russia. Built
between 1555 and 1560. ? 圣巴塞尔大教堂约建于1550年至1560年，是伊凡雷帝为纪念将喀山公国和阿斯特拉罕合并，并将其征服为俄罗斯国领域而建造的。圣巴塞尔教堂主要由9个高高的塔楼组成，都是尖顶形成 。教堂除中心楼之外，面向四个不同的方位各建一座尖塔，并在每两个方位之间各建造一座小塔，每个小塔顶部都立有一个穹顶。这些穹顶是沿袭拜占庭建筑风格，但又做了特殊处理，浅圆顶改成坡度很陡的形式，像是一个美味的冰激凌，又似一个个小洋葱，形象优美。圣巴塞尔大教堂塔形的设计意在减少穹顶顶部面积，以免冬季的积雪给穹顶造成重压。教堂建成后，人们又在它的外部以彩色装饰，这些建筑师精心设计过的圆顶为教堂增添了不少风采，呈现出浓郁的童话色彩。St Brasil’s Cathedral 莫斯科的圣巴塞尔教堂 填空（每空限填一词） All of the above constructions can be called cultural heritage sites (文化遗产). 1._______the fast development of the modern world, people are more and more aware 2._______ the need to preserve their cultural heritages.
