2016年6月四級翻譯練習(xí)及解析：七夕

請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

自上世紀(jì)90年代后期起，七夕節(jié)(the Double SeventhFestival )開始被稱為“中國的情人節(jié)”。這個(gè)節(jié)日可以追溯到漢朝，當(dāng)時(shí)對戀人、女孩都是個(gè)特殊的日子。 這天，女孩會(huì)舉行儀式，向織女(Zhinv)乞求智慧、技藝和美滿婚姻，所以七夕節(jié)還被稱為“乞巧節(jié)(the Begging for SkillsFestival)”。如今，一些傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗已經(jīng)弱化。人們現(xiàn)在把七夕節(jié)當(dāng)作浪漫的情人節(jié)來慶祝，尤其是在年輕人中間。

參考譯文：

The Double Seventh Festival has been called Chinese Valentine's Day since the late 1990s. The festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It was then a special day not only for lovers, but also for girls.Girls would hold a ceremony to beg Zhinv for wisdom, skills and a satisfying marriage. So it is also called “the Begging for Skills Festival”.Today some traditional customs have been weakened. Now the festival is celebrated as a romantic valentine's day, particularly among young people.
