2023年3月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯預(yù)測(cè)：毛筆

毛筆（Chinese brush）是一種源于中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)書(shū)寫(xiě)工具，于墨、紙、硯（ink stone）并稱為“文房四寶”。毛筆有著悠久的歷史，相傳為秦始皇的大將蒙恬改良而成。毛筆筆尖最初用兔毛，后來(lái)也用羊、狼、雞、鼠等動(dòng)物毛，毛管用竹或其他材料制成。在古代，毛筆不僅是一種基本的書(shū)寫(xiě)工具，還被廣泛用于書(shū)法（calligraphy）和繪畫(huà)創(chuàng)作。幾千年來(lái)，它為創(chuàng)造中華民族光輝燦爛的文化做出了卓越的貢獻(xiàn)。

參考譯文：

The Chinese brush is a traditional writing instrument originated in China, which, together with ink stick, paper, ink stone, is known as Four Treasures of the Study. Chinese brush has a long history. Legend has it that the brush was modified by Meng Tian, a general under the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Originally, the head of the brush was made from rabbit fur, and later also from the fur of goats, wolves, chickens, mice and other animals. The shaft of the brush was made of bamboo or other materials. In ancient times, Chinese brush was not only an essential writing tool, but also widely used in calligraphy and painting. For thousands of years, it has made outstanding contributions to the creation of the effulgent Chinese culture.
