2017年6月英语六级翻译模拟真题:剪纸
来源 :中华考试网 2017-06-08
中今天,剪纸(paper-cutting)和古代一样是一项技术性很高的艺术形式,它需要创造力、技巧和经验。无论是简单的还是复杂的形式,每一个设计必须形成一个连续的、完整的(integral)剪纸。仔细研究你会发现中国人形成的那种巧妙的剪法既连接了内部的各个部分,还保持了图形的完整性。总体来说,剪纸有两种方法:一种是用剪子,另一种是用刀。由于窗户上的薄纸被玻璃替代,剪纸逐渐变得不那么流行。直到近几年,这门古老的艺术才以令人难忘的新形式再次繁荣起来.
参考译文
Today,as in the ancient times.paper-cutting is a highly technical art form requiring creativities,skills and experience.No matter how simple or complex every design is,it must be formed as an unbroken and integral piece.With careful study, you will notice the ingenious cutting that the Chinese have developed not only connects various parts of the picture,but also doesn’t spoil the picture.Generally. there are two common methods for paper-cuing,with scissors or with knives.As glass replaced the thin paper on windows,paper-cutting became less popular.Until recent years,this ancient art flourishes once again in an impressively flew and inventive Way.
