All right, everyone! I hope you enjoyed your visit to Capitol Hill.
好啦，各位！我希望你们喜欢刚才的国会山之旅。
If you look back behind you, you can get an excellent look at the Capitol building, with its beautiful dome and the Statue of Freedom on top.
如果你现在回头向后看，可以欣赏到国会大厦的绝妙外观，看到它的美丽的圆顶和顶部的自由女神像。
I forgot to mention that the design for the original building was chosen by George Washington himself back in the 1790s. That building was opened in 1800, but it was burned down by the British during the war in 1812, and it had to be completely rebuilt.
Well, to continue our tour, ladies and gentlemen, we’re now traveling west on Madison Drive. Our next stop will be the Washington Monument, 555 feet high and dedicated to George Washington, our first president.
All right, here we are! We will be staying here approximately twenty minutes. For those of you who do take the elevator up to the top, if you look directly north, you’ll be able to get an excellent view of our next stop, the White House, the home of all our presidents since the second president John Adams.
