Cases Case 2 Case 2 Case 1 参考译文 As one of China’s six ancient capital cities, Hangzhou has a history of more than 2000 years. It is famous not only for its natural scenery but also for its traditional culture. In China, there has been a century-old saying praising the city, “Just as there is a paradise in heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.” Hangzhou’s fame lies mainly in its picturesque West Lake. As it is beautiful all the year round, the West Lake was compared by Su Dongpo, a celebrated poet of the Song Dynasty, to a beauty “who is always charming in either light or heavy make-up.” In Hangzhou, you will not only find the West Lake a perfect delight to the eye, but also take it as a joy to stroll along the busy streets, taste famous Hangzhou delicacies and buy some special local products. Case 1 参考译文 The West Lake is bisected by the Su Causeway and the Bai Causeway which look like two green ribbons floating gracefully on the blue water. In the center of the Lake are three isles?—?Ruangong Isle, Mid-lake Pavilion and the Lesser Yingzhou. With ripples on the water’s surface and thickly-wooded hills dotted by exquisite pavilions on its four sides, the West Lake is one of China’s best-known scenic spots. Hangzhou residents have their way of enjoying the beauty of the West Lake. According to them, “The West Lake looks more delightful on rainy days than on clear days, but it is at its best after darkness has fallen.” Case 2 参考译文 店员：早上好，先生。我能为您提供什么服务吗？ 顾客：早上好，我对中国古董感兴趣。你们有没有比较好点的呢？ 店员：我们有各种各样的中国古董。您有什么特别喜好吗？ 顾客：我想看看传统的中国绘画作品。 店员：我们有山水画、人物画和花鸟画。您最喜欢哪一种呢？ 顾客：我想要一幅花鸟画。 店员：好的，您看这幅松鹤画如何？这是中国清代的一位著名画家画的。 顾客：哦，这些仙鹤看上去就像真的一样。我非常喜欢这幅画。 店员：还有，按照中国的传统观念，仙鹤与松树都是长寿的象征。 顾客：这听起来十分有趣。多少钱呢？ 店员：八千元。 顾客：真贵，但这画的确太好了。我就要它了。 店员：好的，请留好这张发票。您过海关
