四级翻译训练题及答案：七夕乞巧

自上世纪90年代后期起，七夕节(the Double Seventh festival )开始被称为“中国的情人节”。这个节日可以追溯到汉朝，当时对恋人、女孩都是个特殊的日子。 这天，女孩会举行仪式，向织女(Zhinv)乞求智慧、技艺和美满婚姻，所以七夕节还被称为“乞巧节(the Begging for SkillsFestival)”。如今，一些传统习俗已经弱化。人们现在把七夕节当作浪漫的情人节来庆祝，尤其是在年轻人中间。

参考译文：

Since the late 1990s, the Double Seventh Festival has come to be known as "China's Valentine's Day." This festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, where it was a special day for both lovers and girls. On this day, girls would hold ceremonies to beg Zhinv (the Weaver Maid) for wisdom, skills, and a happy marriage. Therefore, the Double Seventh Festival is also known as the "Begging for Skills Festival." Nowadays, some traditional customs have weakened. People now celebrate the Double Seventh Festival as a romantic Valentine's Day, especially among young people.
