正确答案：The four treasures of Chinese study, i.e. brush, ink, rice paper and ink stone, are unique tools of Chinese painting and calligraphy. People refer them as “four treasures” because they are the four most cherished and very often used items in the study of Chinese scholars. Ancient Chinese scholars were basically all good at calligraphy and painting and that is why the tools were inseparable to them. The word “Chinese study”first originated from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which specifically referred to a scholar study where the four tools were the most often used items. In addition to these four major items, other necessary tools for the Chinese study also include the brush barrel, brush holder, ink case, brush wash, inkpad, stamps, seal boxes and so on. 涉及知识点：短文翻译2．故宫，也就是今天的中国故宫博物院(the National Palace Museum ofChina)，位于北京市中心，天安门以北，又称紫禁城，曾是明清两代皇宫。

【翻译范文】Chinese brush is a traditional writing instrument originating from China. Ink stick, paper, ink stone and Chinese brush are known as “Four Treasures of the Study”. Chinese brush has a long history. Legend has it that the brush was invented by Meng Tian, a general under the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Originally, the head of the brush was made from rabbit hairs, and later also from the hairs of goats, wolves, chickens, mice and other animals. The shaft is made of bamboo or other materials. In ancient times, Chinese brush was not only an essential writing tool, it was also widely used in calligraphy and painting. For thousands of years, it has made outstanding contributions to the creation of the effulgent Chinese culture.2. TOPIC2刺绣刺绣(embroidery)是中国民间传统手工艺之一，有着悠久的历史。

文房四宝中文：文房四宝（Four Treasures of the Study）也就是笔、墨（ink-stick）、纸、砚（ink-slab）是中国独具特色的文书工具。

“文房”之名，始于南北朝时期（the Northern and Southern Dynasties），专指文人（literati）书房而言。

四宝品类繁多，丰富多彩，以湖笔、徽墨、宣纸、端砚著称，享负盛名。

故宫博物院（the Palace Museum）收藏的文房四宝多为清代（the Qing Dynasty）名师所作，皇家御用，用料考究、工艺精美，代表了我国数千年来文房用具的发展水平。

语言要点：characteristics; refer to; be famous for; collect; exceptionally; exclusively译文：The Four Treasures of the Study, namely the writing brush, ink-stick, paper and ink-slab, are the writing tools with Chinese characteristics. They got their names in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, referring only to the study of the literati. The Four Treasures, varied and colorful, are famous for theirhubi, huimo, xuanzhi, and duanyan.

2019年12月英语四级翻译练习题库之文房四宝请将下面这段话翻译成英文：中国独有的文书工具(calligraphic tools),即笔、墨、纸、砚(ink stone),被称为“文房四宝"(Four Treasures of theStudy)。

从名称上，我们不难看出中国的书法家和画家珍视它们的水准。

即使这四种工具已经发生了演变，人们仍然相信，如果不使用传统的文房四宝，中国艺术作品就出不了杰作。

其他东方国家也继承了中国的这个传统，比如日本。

也许这就是为什么日本书法和绘画与中国书法和国画很相似的原因。

参考翻译：Chinese particular calligraphic toolsincludebrush,ink,paper and ink stone,which are known as"Four Treasures of the Study”.We can easily tell howChinese calligraphers and painters value them fromthe name.Despite the evolution of the four tools,itis believed that no Chinese artwork can be a masterpiece without using the traditional fourtreasures.Other oriental nations such as Japan has inherited this Chinese tradition.Maybe that'swhy Japanese calligraphy and Japanese painting resemble Chinesecalligraphy and Chinesepainting.1.即使这四种工具已经发生了演变，人们仍然相信，如果不使用传统的文房四宝，中国艺术作品就出不了杰作：“演变”可译为evolution。
