2015年6月英語四級(jí)翻譯習(xí)題及參考譯文(1)

　　【翻譯原文】

　　自上世紀(jì)90年代后期起，七夕節(jié)(the Double SeventhFestival )開始被稱為“中國(guó)的情人節(jié)”。這個(gè)節(jié)日可以追溯到漢朝，當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)戀人、女孩都是個(gè)特殊的日子。 這天，女孩會(huì)舉行儀式，向織女(Zhinv)乞求智慧、技藝和美滿婚姻，所以七夕節(jié)還被稱為“乞巧節(jié)(the Begging for SkillsFestival)”。如今，一些傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗已經(jīng)弱化。人們現(xiàn)在把七夕節(jié)當(dāng)作浪漫的情人節(jié)來慶祝，尤其是在年輕人中間。
