2017年英语六级考试翻译模拟试题：刺绣

　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　刺绣(embroidery)是用针和线或纱线(yarn)在织物或其他材料上进行装饰的手工艺。刺绣最常用在无檐帽、有檐帽、外套、毛毯、礼服衬衫、长筒袜、髙尔夫球衫上。令人感到吃惊的是:在刺绣的发展过程中，从起初到后来更精美的阶段，让人感觉不到也说不出来有什么材质或技术的变化。另一方面，我们发现后来很少能达到早期作品中的技术成就和髙水准的工艺。

　　参考翻译:

　　Embroidery is the handicraft of decorating fabric orother materials with needle and thread or yarn.It ismost often used on caps, hats, coats, blankets, dressshirts, stockings, and golf shirts.It is a striking factthat in the development of embroidery there are nochanges of materials or techniques which can be felt or interpreted as advances from aprimitive to a later, more refined stage.On the other hand, we find a technicalaccomplishment and high standard of craftsmanship in early works are rarely attained in latertimes.
