Fell free to ask me anything on todays Great Wall tour. 在今天的长城游中，大家尽管问我任何问题，不要拘束。fell free是英语口语中一个常用表达。若有人让你feel free to do something, 就是让你无需拘束，只管按照自己的意愿去做某事。e.g. A: Can I use your bathroom? 我可以用一下你的卫生间吗？B: Yes, feel free. 可以，请随意。2. As far as I know, there are no man-made objects as big as this. 据我所知，再没有像它这样大的人造物体了。as far as I know是一个固定的表达方式，还可以说so far as I know, 意思是“据我所知”。e.g. As far as I know, Jacks got twin sisters. 就我所知，杰克有一对孪生姐妹。 Theyre not coming today, so far as I know. 他们今天不来了 就我所知是这样的。man-made为合成形容词，意为“人造的”。英语中像这样与-made复合而成的形容词还有：handmade(手工制作的)、homemade (家庭制作的)、machine-made (机制的)、tailor-made (量体定制的；特制的；定做的)等，用以描述产品的生产或制造手段、特点等，甚至还有像self-made (自学而成的；自我奋斗而成的；天然形成的)可以用来描述人。3. the Ming Great Wall 明长城“明长城”是指明朝时期为了防御北方游牧民族的骚扰，历时一百多年在北部地区 修筑的军事防御工程。这段长城东起辽宁虎山
