The painting is done on paper or silk with a brush dipped in black or colored ink.

The Xieyi school is characterized by free expression and exaggerated forms, while the Gongbi school attaches importance to detail with fine brush work. Landscape painting is widely regarded as the highest form of Chinese painting. Throughout history, the Chinese paintings paintings at different times mirror people's social consciousness accordingly. 词句点拨 1.第2句为无主语句，翻译时可补充出主语0ne，译作When painting, one uses a brush to dip it in black ink...，但这种译法显得较为繁冗。此处宜把时间状语“绘画时”转换成主句is done,“用毛笔蘸黑墨......”处理成方式状语，用介词短语with a brush dipped in black...来表达，这样句子更简洁、逻辑关系更强。 2.在第3句中，“可分为几大类”可译为短语be divided into...categories;“写意派和工笔派”则可用定语从 句which are...来表达。 3.第4句含有对比的并列结构，可用表对比的连词while来连接。该句中的“注重……描绘细节”译成attach importance to detail即可达意，省译“描绘”;“以精细的笔法”是方式状语，可用介词短语with fine brush work来表达，置于句末。 4.在最后一句中，定语“不同时期的”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，表达为at different times/periods。 【2】苏州园林 请将下面这段中文翻译成英文： 苏州是中国著名的"园林城市(city of gardens)",在园林数量和艺术性上都远胜于其他城市。苏州的因林艺术有1500年的历史。14世纪到20世纪之间的明淸时期是其园林建筑的货金时期。这座城市里曾经有超过200家私人园林。它们中的一些今天仍然保存良好。这些园林的独特魅力使它们在1997年被列人世界文化遗产名录(the list of World Cultural Heritage)。 参考译文： Suzhou is China s well-known city of gardens，which tops all other cities in both the number and the artistry of gardens.
