故宮（the Imperial Palace)位于北京市中心，是世界上現存規模最大、保存最完整的古代皇宮和古建筑群(architectural complex)。這座歷史悠久的宮殿，面積宏大，南北約千米，東西753米。整個皇宮相傳共有9999個房間，分為外朝和內庭兩部分。外朝是皇帝行使權力、舉行盛典的地方。內庭是皇帝的居住之地。故宮建筑群是中國古代宮殿建筑(Palatial architecture)的典范，對東亞及其他國家的文化和建筑產生了重大影響。而今整個故宮成為國家博物館，陳列著眾多珍貴的古代文物(cultural relics）。

參考譯文：

The Imperial Palace, located in the center of Beijing, is the largest, best preserved ancient imperial palace and architectural complex in the world. The historical, spacious palace stretches about 1,000 meters from north to south and 753 meters on its east-west axis. Altogether, there are 9,999 rooms inside the palace according to legend, which is made up of two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The outer court was a place where the emperors exercised their power and held grand ceremonies. The inner court was the imperial residence. The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments greatly in East Asia and elsewhere. Today the entire Imperial Palace functions as a national museum, where a variety of treasured cultural relics are exhibited.
