Tour Mayan Ruins

Take a step back in time and explore ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico,Guatemala,Honduras and Belize.

Mayapan Ruins

Also known as the Banner of the Mayas,Mayapan is thought of as the last great Maya capital.The Pre-Columbian Maya site is in south of the town of Telchaquillo,Yucatán,Mexico.More than 4000 structures,most residences①,are packed with the ancient city’s walls.Archeologists believe that Mayapan’s main temple is a smaller version② of Chichen Itza’s Temple of Kukulkan.

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza is one of the largest Maya cities,and it is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico.More than 1 million tourists visit the Mayan ruins every year.The Temple of Kukulkan—also referred to as El Castillo—stands 98-feet tall with 9 square terraces③,and it’s a big draw for crowds during the spring and fall equinoxes (春分和秋分).As the sun sets,visitors crowd around the pyramid to see the shadows on the steps that look like a snake.

典句欣赏

As the sun sets,visitors crowd around the pyramid to see the shadows on the steps that look like a snake.

译文:当太阳下山的时候,游客们拥挤在金字塔周围,观看台阶上的像蛇一样的影子。

分析:这是一个主从复合句。as引导时间状语从句,主句中that引导定语从句,修饰前面的shadows,在从句中做主语。
