赞美杭州的英文

Hangzhou (Chinese: 杭州; Hanyu Pinyin: Hángzhōu; Wade-Giles: Hang-chou) is a sub-provincial city in China, and the capital of Zhejiang province. Located 180 km southwest of Shanghai, the population in the city proper is now 1.75 million. By the end of 2003, Hangzhou had a registered population of 6.4 million including an urban registered population of 3.9 million. As one of the most renowned and prosperous cities in China for much of the last 1,000 years, Hangzhou is also well known for its beautiful natural scenery, with the West Lake (Xī Hú, 西湖) as the most noteworthy location.Hangzhou is located in northern Zhejiang province, eastern China, at the southern end of the Grand Canal of China, on the plain of the mid-lower reaches of the Yangtze River (Cháng Jiāng). The prefecture-level region of Hangzhou extends west to the border with the hilly-country Anhui Province, and east to the flat-land Hangzhou Bay. The city centre is built around the eastern and northern sides of the West Lake, just north of the Qiantang River.

西湖：The West Lake came from a shallow bay in ancient times where Qiantang River ran into the sea. It was formerly named as Wulin Waters, Golden Buffalo Lake, Qiantang Lake and Xizi Lake. As it lies in the west of Hangzhou, it was later named the West Lake. It covers an area of 6.38KM2, the average depth being 2.27M and the deepest being 5M. It has mountains on three sides and the city on the remaining one side. The lake and mountain are magnificent. Centered on the West Lake, the West Lake Scenic Area is a national scenic area with a total area of 59KM2. There are over 60 cultural relic sites of state, provincial and municipal levels and over 100 attractions. Among them, the most classic is the Ten Scenes and the New Ten Scenes at the West Lake.西湖十景 Traditional Top Ten苏堤春晓 Spring Dawn at Su Causeway平湖秋月 Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake花港观鱼 Viewing Fish at Flower Pond柳浪闻莺 Orioles Singing in the Willows三潭印月 Three Pools Mirroring the Moon双峰插云 Twin Peaks Piercing in Cloud南屏晚钟 Evening Bell Ringing at Nanping Hill雷峰夕照 Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow曲院风荷 Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden断桥残雪 Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge新西湖十景 New Top Ten虎跑梦泉 Dreaming of Tiger Spring at Hupao Valley龙井问茶 Enjoying Tea at Dragon Well九溪烟树 Nine Creeks Meandering through a Misty Forest云栖竹径 Bamboo-lined Path at Yunqi宝石流霞 Precious Stone Hill Floating in Rosy Cloud玉皇飞云 Clouds Scurrying over Jade Emperor Hill满陇桂雨 Sweet Osmanthus Rain at Manjuelong Village吴山天风 Heavenly Wind over Wu Hill阮墩环碧 Ruan Gong Islet Submerged in Greenery黄龙吐翠 Yellow Dragon Cave Dressed in Green其他 Others京杭大运河 Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal灵隐寺 Lingyin Temple南山路 South Hill Road湖滨 Lakeside黄龙体育中心 Yellow Dragon Sports Centre未来世界 Future World Park杭州乐园 Hangzhou Park河坊街 Hefang Street钱塘江 Qiantang River中河立交桥 Zhonghe Multidimensional Highway杭州特产 Hangzhou Special Local Product杭州丝绸 Hangzhou silk西湖绸伞 West Lake silk umbrella张小泉剪刀 Zhang Xiaoquan scissors王星记扇子 Wangxingji fans西湖龙井 West Lake Longjing Tea西湖藕粉 West Lake lotus root powder -ゃōゃ茜 2008-07-03 19:39 检举

准备口试的题目，翻看一些介绍杭州的英文资料，叹为观止：部分西湖景点的翻译：虎跑：tiger spring/tiger running spring，倒还不如翻成tiger digging spring，虎跑其实是虎刨的通假。柳浪闻莺：orioles singing in the willows，浪得虚名，少了一个浪的形容，意境差好多，而且，莺其实很少。西湖天地：west lake heaven and earth，真是逐字逐句，字字珠玑啊。南屏晚钟：evening bell ringing at nanping hill.接下去的描述里，多有with its bell ringing in mornings and evenings…strike the bell to ring out the old year and ring in the new year…的字句，看得人都想唱jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way…the tower of lake joining sky in green，这个我到现在都没猜出来是哪个景点，阮墩环碧？西泠印社：xiling seal society，原来是个组织，一直以为是地名。小瀛洲：xiaoying islet/lesser ying islet/the island of little oceans，最后一个最夸张。三潭印月：three pools mirroring the moon，我一直以为三潭指的是湖中心那三个宝塔一样的东西，谁知道，三潭还真的是三个潭，三个池塘啊，but where？双峰插云：two peaks embracing the sky，插云变抱天了，不过就象形来说，也还不错。最长见识的是，六和塔：six harmonies pagoda，也就是看了这个翻译之后，我才知道，六和塔，真的是六个和的塔啊：harmony of the body, speech and thought and the renunciation of personal pleasure, opinions and wealth，又查了中文：依《大乘义章》开示：六和敬者，同止安乐不恼行也，起行不乖名之为“和”，以行和故情相亲重，目之为“敬”，和敬不同，一门说六。六名是何？即所谓（一） 身业同。身业同者，略有二种：（1）“离过同”，同离杀盗邪淫等事；（2）“作善同”，同为一切礼拜等善。（二）口业同。口业同者，亦有二种：（1）“离过同”，同皆远离妄语两舌恶口绮语；（2）“作善同”，同为赞诵赞咏等善。（三）意业同。意业同者，亦有二种：（1）“离过同”，同离一切烦恼业思；（2）“作善同”，同修信进念定慧等一切善法。（四）同戒。言同戒者，略有二种：（1）受戒同；（2）持戒同。又更分二：（1）作戒同；（2）无作戒同。亦得分三：（1）律仪戒同；（2）摄善戒同；（3）摄众生戒同。（五）同施。言同施者，略有二种：（1）“内施同”，自舍己身奉给尊事；（2）“外施同”，舍余资生。亦得分三：（1）财施同；（2）法施同；（3）无畏施同。（六）同见。言同见者，见谓见解，略有二种：（1）世谛中见解无别；（2）真谛中见解无别。由此观之，六中前三就“身”彰同；后之三种就“行”说同。又前三是其“能作”；后三是“所作”。又前三中摄“行”难尽，未知前三所作是何，故复明之。又以其略故，于六度中“戒”、“施”在初，“慧”见在后，就初、就后以彰其同，中间可知，故略不论。总而言之，身、口、意三和，是和合之表现；戒、见、施三和，是和合之本质。六和具足，才能成为清净和乐之僧团，有清净和乐之僧团，才能住持正法，利济人群。还看见有说六和是：harmonies of the heaven, earth, north, south, east and west，这个，好像是粗糙了点。没有比这句话更苦大仇深的了：After 40 years’ constant development and construction, the previous imperial garden now turns out to be a fairyland for common people.这个购物指南，有趣：One great place to souvenir shop in Hangzhou is the market that opens every evening on Wushan Road. Here you can avoid the high prices at Hangzhou's many tourist shops. Bargaining is not only recommended, it is required! Bargain hard and you will go home with some great deals. Also, Hangzhou has a great outdoor silk market called the China Silk City (Zhongguo Sichou Cheng) on Fengqi Lu that runs for two blocks. This market street is long! Most of the silk is artificial (real is too expensive for most people), but most of the stalls will have some real silk. If you are looking for something indoors and without the stress of bargaining, explore stores like the Hangzhou Friendship Store or the shops along Jiefang Road or Yan'an Road. 但凡有遇到树林的地方，一律是forest，别无二词，我是住在高高的兴安岭一片大森林呢，还是在热带雨林，deep forest。疑惑中…

Introduction of HangZhou Capital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou is a tourist city well known at home and abroad. It lieson the lower reaches of the Qiantang River and is the southern end of the  l,794-kllometre-long Grand Canal (Beijing- Hangzhou Canal). With an area of 16,596 square kilometers inhabited by a population of 6.08 million, it embraces six urban districts and seven suburban counties, namely, Yuhang, Xiaoshan, Fuyang, Tonglu, Lin'an, Jiande and Chun'an.    West Lake Lying on the west edge of Hangzhou city, West Lake is the symbol of Hangzhou as well as one of the most beautiful sights in China. Early in the Song dynasty, the famous poet Su Shi compared the lake to Xizi, a Chinese Cleopatra: "Ripping water shimmering on sunny day; Misty mountains wonder in the rain; Plain or gaily decked out like Xizi; the West Lake is always alluring". So the Lake is also known as Xizi Lake. With an area of 6 sq. km. and a circumference of 15km (9 miles), West Lake, surround in three sides by rolling wooded hills, has captivated countless visitors for centuries. The beauty of the West Lake lies in a lingering charm that survives the change of seasons in a year, of hours in a day, and of different weathers. Lingyin Temple Located at the foot of the Lingyin Hill northwest of the city, Temple of Inspired Seclusion (Lingyin Temple) was built in the Eastern Jin dynasty (317-420). The 33.6-metre-high main hall (Sakyamuni Hall) is a masterpiece of ancient buildings with one story and doubled eaves. The two nine-storied octagonal pagodas in front of the main hall and the two stone towers containing the Buddhist sutras in front of the Lokapala Hall were all built in the Five dynasties (907-960). In the caves on the Feilai Hill, there are some 300 Buddhist stone carvings dating back to the Five dynasties, the Song dynasty (960-1279) and the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). The elegant stone carvings are of high artistic value.
