Frederick William Ⅰ,the King of Prussia,could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history.This gift was the Amber Room,which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey.The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days.It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels,which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.
Ⅰ.However,the next King of Prussia,Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged,decided not to keep it.In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great.In return,the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long,the room served as small reception hall for important visitors. In September 1941,the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.This was a time when the two countries were at war.Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace,the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room.However,some of the Nazi secretly stole the room itself.In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes.There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg,which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.After that,what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.
Recently,the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace.By studying old photos of the former Amber Room,they have made the new one look like the old one.In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city. 请翻译,在用自己的话复述.

文章大意:
1709年,生性豪奢的普鲁士国王腓特烈一世命令当时普鲁士最有名的建筑师安·休鲁达和戈·德恩着手兴建"琥珀屋"(Amber Room).完成后的琥珀屋面积约55平方米,共有全由琥珀制成的12块护壁镶板和12个柱脚,其上饰有银箔,可任意拼装成各种形状.在当时,琥珀的价值为黄金的13倍,因此"琥珀屋"无论从材料的贵重程度还是工艺水平来说都堪称稀世奇珍,曾有"世界第八奇迹"之誉.
为了向俄国示好,加强两国间的军事同盟关系,腓特烈一世在1716年决定将琥珀屋赠予俄国的彼得大帝.1717年,琥珀屋被运抵俄国的圣彼得堡."琥珀屋"当年算是俄普两国结为盟友的信物.后来,这座估计价值1亿5千万英镑的艺术珍品又被移建在位于圣彼得堡郊外的夏宫,并成为女皇最喜爱的办公场地.
纳粹1941年入侵苏联后,由于种种因素,苏联政府未能将"琥珀屋"及时转移.叶卡捷林娜宫的专家们试图用薄纱和假墙纸将"琥珀屋"遮盖起来,以使其逃过纳粹魔爪.然而纳粹士兵很快就发现了秘密,他们将"琥珀屋"拆卸装箱,运回德国的哥尼斯堡,但自那以后就再也没有人清楚它的下落.60年来,人们有过各种各样的揣测,进行了千方百计的寻找,但琥珀屋却始终不见踪影.充满传奇色彩的琥珀屋成了全世界最重要的失踪艺术品之一.
2003年5月,在庆祝圣彼得堡建成300周年纪念日来临之际,新"琥珀屋"重新问世."琥珀屋"重现人间是俄德两国友谊与相互理解的象征.
