词汇 hanging garden of babylon
词源
Hanging Garden of Babylon. There are, of course, thou- sands of outstanding gardens throughout the world. Among the most famous was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Hanging Gardens were supposedly built by the biblical King Nebuchadnezzar to please his wife, Amytis, who had grown tired of northern Babylon’s flat plains and longed for scenery that would remind her of her native home in the Median hills. Should you want to cultivate the same, build a square garden, 400 feet each way, rising in a series of terraces from an adequate river and provide it with enough fertile soil to hold even great trees. Vague directions, but the plans have been lost over the years.
