　　对于大部分同学来说，改革后的英语四六级考试中，翻译题型是大家的一根软肋，那么，在考前仅剩一个多月的时间里，怎样提高自己的英语翻译能力呢?下面，我们一起来练习一下英语四级考试翻译题型。

【翻译原文】
　　唐装(Tang suit)广义上是指西式裁剪的满族(Manchu)服饰，而不是唐朝的服装。它吸取了满清服饰的款式和面料，同时采用了西方服装的立体式剪裁 (three-dimensionalcutting)。国内所称的“唐装”，基本上是清末的中式着装。唐装其实是中式服装的统称，这主要是因为国外都称华人居住的地方为“唐人街”，那 “唐人”穿的衣服自然就应该叫“唐装”了。另外，国外的一些华人也称中式服装为 “唐装”，所以唐装的取名颇有国际化的味道。

【参考译文】
　　Tang suits refer to Manchu clothes cut by Western methods in a broad sense, instead of clothes of the Tang Dynasty.Tang suits use patterns and materials of Manchu clothes and adopt the three-dimensional cutting method of Western clothes.Tang suits in mainland people's eyes are Chinese-style clothes in the late Qing Dynasty.Tang suit is actually the general name of Chinese-style clothes, and the main reason is that the place where Chinese people live overseas is called “Chinatown”，naturally the clothes worn by “Tang people” are “Tang suits”.In addition, some Chinese people abroad also call Chinese-style clothes “Tang suits' giving the name Tang suits much international flavor.
