问题     “文房四室”(Four Treasures of the study)即笔、墨、纸、砚(ink stone)，是中国传统文化中独有的书写工具。“文房四宝”的称谓，起源于南北朝时期，在北宋时期已被广泛使用。毛笔是四宝中最重要的工具，可以用来书写或绘画，是传统的“中国笔”，有不同种类。纸是中国古代四大发明之一，古时候的纸轻薄柔软，能很快地吸收墨汁。墨和砚是古代书写中必不可缺的工具，两者一般一起使用。“文房四宝”不仅是极有价值的文具，也是融绘画、书法、雕刻为一体的艺术品。
选项
答案     The "Four Treasures of the Study", namely the brush pen, ink, paper and the ink stone, are writing tools peculiar to Chinese traditional culture. The name "Four Treasures of the Study" originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was widely used in Northern Song Dynasty. The brush pen, a traditional "Chinese pen" with different types, is the most important one in the four treasures, which can be used for both calligraphy and painting. As one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, paper in ancient times was very light, thin and soft, thus it could absorb ink very quickly. The ink and the ink stone are ancient tools indispensable to writing and the two were usually used together. The "Four Treasures of the Study" are not only extremely valuable stationery, but also artistic works combining painting, calligraphy and carving.
解析 l．第一句中修饰“书写工具”的定语较长，“中国传统文化中独有的”在翻译时可处理为writing tools的后置定语peculiar to Chinese traditional culture，符合英文表达习惯。
2．“毛笔是四宝中最重要的工具，可以用来书写或绘画，是传统的‘中国笔’，有不同种类”这句话有四个分句。在英译时，“是传统的‘中国笔’，有不同种类”可采用同位语的形式，译成a traditional“Chinese pen”with different types，置于主语brush pen之后，比译成并列分句更简洁精炼。
3．“纸是中国古代四大发明之一，古时候的纸轻薄柔软，能很快地吸收墨汁”这句话有三个分句，“纸是中国古代四大发明之一”译成As one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China，用as引导的介词短语作状语，比翻译成并列分句更简洁。
4．最后一句话中“艺术品”的定语很长，因此最好用动词的现在分词combining作后置定语，译成combining painting，calligraphy and carving。
