2016年12月英語六級考試將在12月17日舉行,為了提高大家的翻譯分值,yjbys網小編為大家提供了英語六級翻譯練習:北京胡同,供大家練習。
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
人們說,真正的北京文化是衚衕(hutong)和四合院(quadrangle courtyard)文化。它們比髙樓大吸引的海內外遊客更多。現在,衚衕已經成為北京文化的代表,因此對於想了解當地的歷史文化的`人來說,衚衕是首選。衚衕是蒙古詞,意思是“水井”。在元朝,蒙古人髙度重視水,所以幾乎每一個城市社群都圍繞一口井設計。直到今天,人們仍然可以在衚衕中找到枯井。每條小巷中都有故亊。在古代,它們的名宇是口口相傳的,衚衕裡沒有路標(signpost)。直到明、清兩代, 衚衕的名字才逐漸被書寫下來。
參考翻譯:
