　　六級翻譯題考前練習：黃鶴樓

　　“故人西辭黃鶴樓，煙花三月下揚州”的詩句，我們從小就耳熟能詳了，而詩句里的“黃鶴樓”也更是被譽為“天下江山第一樓”。數百年來，眾多文人墨客來到這里，為其舞文弄墨。

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　黃鶴樓(Yellow Crane Tower)位于湖北省武漢市蛇山(Snake Hill),享有“天下江山第一樓”之稱。它是江南最著名的塔樓之一。由于地理位置優越，孫權將黃鶴樓建成軍隊瞭望塔(watchtower)。數百年來，其軍事用途逐漸被遺忘，而主要被當做風景如畫的景點欣賞。唐代有許多膾炙人口的詩篇贊美黃鶴樓。正是這些詩，黃鶴樓才能如此著名，吸引人們前來參觀。不同朝代，黃鶴樓有不同的建筑特色。然而，今天的黃鶴樓是基于淸朝塔樓建造的。

　　參考譯文：

　　Located on Snake Hill in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Yellow Crane Tower is enjoying the fame of "The First Scenery under Heaven". It is one of the most famous towers at the south of the Yangtze River. Due to the ideal location, it was built by Sun Quan, Emperor of Wu, as a watchtower for his army. After hundreds of years,its military function was gradually forgotten and the tower served mainly as a picturesque spot. During the Tang Dynasty, many popular poems were written in praise of the Yellow Crane Tower. It was these poems that made the tower so renowned and attractive for people to visit. The tower had different architectural features in different dynasties. However, the tower which stands today is based on the one designed during the Qing Dynasty.
