英语自学网

从最近几年的英语四级翻译真题中我们不难看出，英语四级翻译目前考察的方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面，日常复习中我们也要储备一些常考话题材料。今天英语四六级考试网为大家分享2018年12月英语四级翻译模拟：三国时期，希望对您有所帮助。
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
三国(公元220-280年)时期，魏、蜀、吴三足鼎立。为了进一步将这三国与同时期的其他几国区分开来，历史学家们为三国各添加了一位相关人物：魏又为曹魏，蜀即为蜀汉，吴亦称东吴。各国最终的统治者并不是皇帝，而是自称是汉朝合法继承人的君主们。14世纪，罗贯中著有《三国演义》，被誉为中国古典四大名著之一，八十万字，一百二十章，描写的正是这段时期的历史风云。
参考译文：
Back to the time of the Three Kingdoms (AD 220–280), there was a tripartite division between the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu. To further distinguish the three states from others during the same period, historians have added a relevant Chinese character to their names: Wei is also known as Cao Wei, Shu is also known as Shu Han, and Wu is also known as Dong (or Eastern) Wu. Each state was ultimately headed not by a king, but by an emperor who claimed to be the legitimate successor to the Han dynasty. Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. With a grand total of 800,000 words and 120 chapters, the novel has depicted the events in the turbulent years of that period.
