12月英語六級翻譯原文及解析

1、12景德鎮(zhèn)，原名昌南，位于江西省境內。景德鎮(zhèn)歷史悠久，是中國歷史上的四大名鎮(zhèn)之一。景德鎮(zhèn)因其瓷器(chinaware)的生產而聞名，據記載，其瓷器生產可以追溯到漢代(the HanDynasty)。在明代 Ming Dynasty)，大量景德鎮(zhèn)瓷器銷往國外，極大地推動了景德鎮(zhèn)陶瓷的對外貿易，擴大了中國陶瓷的影響。由于制造歷史長遠、瓷器產品質地精良、對外銷量大，景德鎮(zhèn)獲得了“瓷都”(capicalof chinaware)的稱號。1.第1句中將“原名昌南”處理為插入語，用分詞短語formerlynamed Changnan來表達，也可處理為Whose引導的非限制性定語從句，譯作whose for
