Genghis Khan (born 1155, or 1162, or 1167, near Lake Baikal，Mongolia, died August 18, 1227, original name Temujin，also spelled Temuchin), Mongolian warrior-ruler, one of the most famous conquerors of history, who consolidated tribes into a unified Mongolia and then extended his empire across Asia to the Adriatic Sea.
成吉思汗，原名鐵木真，1155或1162,1167年生於蒙古貝加爾湖附近，卒於1227年8月18日，蒙古勇士和統治者，歷史上最著名的征服者之一。成吉思汗把許多部落統一成蒙古國，之後又穿過亞洲，將帝國領土擴張至亞得里亞海。
Genghis Khan was a warrior and ruler of genius who, starting from obscure and insignificant beginnings, brought all the nomadic tribes of Mongolia under the rule of himself and his family in a rigidly disciplined military state.
成吉思汗是一個天才的勇十和統治者。起初成吉思汗身份卑微，無足輕重，但是後來他建立了紀律嚴明的軍事國家，將蒙古所有的遊牧部落都置於他和他的家族的統治之下。He then turned his attention toward the settled peoples beyond the borders of his nomadic realm and began the series of campaigns of plunder and conquest that eventually carried the Mongol armies as far as the Adriatic Sea in one direction and the Pacific coast of China in the other, leading to the establishment of the great Mongol Empire.
之後成吉思汗將注意力轉移到了遊牧王國國界之外的定居民族，開始了一系列的搶劫戰和征服戰。最終蒙古大軍往西打到了亞得里亞海，往東打到了中國的太平洋海岸，建立了偉大的蒙古帝國。
