介绍（中）	泰姬陵由沙贾汗于 1632 年至 1645 年间建造，作为他最喜欢的妻子蒙塔兹玛哈尔的陵墓，是世界上最美丽的建筑之一。也许是晚期印度穆斯林建筑的最佳典范，白色大理石墓坐落在一个有围墙的花园中，其圆顶宁静地倒映在长方形的水池中。它旁边是它的镜像，一个重复对称的虚拟复制品。典型的是，默里并没有将自己局限于轴心视角，这对游客来说是如此珍贵，它充分利用了泰姬陵及其反射的图像。相反，他提出了几种描述其实际背景的观点。其中，这座建筑隐约可见于造纸厂的花园之外;在这里，它似乎夹在邻近的清真寺之间。从亚穆纳河上方摇摇欲坠的护栏上看，蹲在那里的两个人完全忽略了这些亭子，这些亭子看起来像是莫卧儿荣耀的梦幻残余，这是十九世纪中叶搁浅的崇高建筑游行。
介绍（英）	The Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, between 1632 and 1645 is among the most beautiful buildings in the world. Perhaps the finest example of late Indian Muslim architecture, the white marble tomb sits in a walled garden, its domes serenely reflected in an oblong pool. Next to it stands its mirror image, a virtual replica repeated for symmetry. Characteristically, Murray did not limit himself to the axial point of view, so dear to visitors, which displays the Taj and its reflected image to full advantage. Instead, he made several views that describe its actual context. In one, the building looms up beyond the garden of a paper factory; here, it appears sandwiched between the neighboring mosques. Seen from a crumbling parapet above the Yamuna River and wholly ignored by the two men squatting there, the pavilions appear as fantastic remnants of Mughal glory, a sublime architectural parade stranded in the middle of the nineteenth century.
