2019年11月CATTI三笔真题

每天进步一点点~

2019年11月三笔真题是介绍浙江的省会城市杭州，小时候就曾学过苏轼的诗：水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜。西湖真的是绝美无比，希望有一天我也能去杭州旅游，一睹西湖的美景。

以下是真题的内容：

作为中国浙江省省会城市，杭州是中国著名历史文化名城。距今约5300多年的“良渚文化”遗址（位于杭州余杭区）是中华文明发祥地之一。

杭州素以美丽的山水著称于世。中国古代谚语“上有天堂，下有苏杭”表达出古往今来人们对于这座美丽城市的由衷喜爱。

西湖位于杭州西南，以其秀丽的湖光山色和众多名胜古迹而成为闻名中外的旅游胜地。2011年被正式列入《世界遗产名录》。此外，气势浩荡的钱塘江大潮，每年吸引无数游客。

杭州拥有丰富的历史文化遗迹。南起杭州，北到北京的京杭大运河始建于1631年，全长约1797公里，是世界上最长、最古老的人工水道。2014年6月22日，京杭大运河正式入选《世界遗产名录》。

在世界上，杭州也颇有声名。13世纪，意大利著名旅行家马可·波罗（Marco Polo）在游记中赞叹杭州为“世界上最美丽之城”。2011年，杭州曾被美国《纽约时报》评为全球41个旅游城市之一，被联合国评为“国际花园城市”。

杭州还曾在中美建交过程中扮演重要角色。2015年1月，中国提出发展“旅游外交”。杭州作为著名旅游城市，又率先实践“旅游外交”。

Hangzhou has been famous for its beautiful landscape. People’s genuine love for Hangzhou from the ancient times has been well reflected in an ancient Chinese saying “Up above there is the heaven; down below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou”.

1. “素” 作为副词表示“一向；一直”， 所以“杭州素以美丽的山水著称于世”可以翻译成“Hangzhou has been famous for its beautiful landscape.” 或者直接省略译为：“Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful landscape.”

e.g. The two countries have a long history of border dispute.

这两个国家素来有边境争议。(《VOA Special》）

2.“以...著称于世” be famous for / be well-known/ boast

1）to have something that is impressive and that you can be proud of 有（值得自豪的东西）

2.秀丽的湖光山色 picturesque scenery

3.名胜古迹historical sites

4. 世界遗产名录 World Heritage List

In 2011, Hangzhou was listed as one of the 41 tourist cities in the world by New York Times and an “International Garden City” by the United Nations.
