1--When were the Mogao caves dug?
2--The first cave was dug in the year 366 A. D.
1--And then people continued to dig new caves here,right?
2--That's right. These caves were dug over a period of more than 1 000 years through 10 dynasties.
1--How many caves are there?
2--There were already more than 1,000 caves dug by the Tang Dynasty. However, nature and human destruction have claimed a lot of them. Today,there are only 492 caves left.
1--It's still an astounding figure.
2--As you can see , the caves are arranged in rows,with one row on top of another, forming a five-storey massive structure in some places.
1--What an imposing scene!
2--Yes,I like it so much.
1--Me too.

1--莫高窟是什么时候开凿的?
2--第一个石窟是公元366年开凿的。
1--然后人们就继续开凿新石窟了,对吗?
2--是啊。这些石窟的开凿历经10个朝代,前后1000多年。
1--这里有多少个石窟?
2--到唐朝时已经有1000多个。然而,大自然和人为的损毁破坏了许多。今天只剩下492个。
1--这仍然是个了不起的数字。
2--你们可以看到,石窟一排排地排列,一排上面又有一排,有些地方形成了5层楼高的结构。
1--真是壮观!
2--是啊,我太喜欢莫高窟了。
1--我也是。
