2017年英語六級考試翻譯模擬試題:刺繡
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
刺繡(embroidery)是用針和線或紗線(yarn)在織物或其他材料上進行裝飾的手工藝。刺繡最常用在無檐帽、有檐帽、外套、毛毯、禮服襯衫、長筒襪、髙爾夫球衫上。令人感到吃驚的是:在刺繡的發(fā)展過程中,從起初到后來更精美的階段,讓人感覺不到也說不出來有什么材質或技術的變化。另一方面,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)后來很少能達到早期作品中的技術成就和髙水準的工藝。
參考翻譯:
Embroidery is the handicraft of decorating fabric orother materials with needle and thread or yarn.It ismost often used on caps, hats, coats, blankets, dressshirts, stockings, and golf shirts.It is a striking factthat in the development of embroidery there are nochanges of materials or techniques which can be felt or interpreted as advances from aprimitive to a later, more refined stage.On the other hand, we find a technicalaccomplishment and high standard of craftsmanship in early works are rarely attained in latertimes.
