2024年6月英语六级翻译预测：风筝

风筝起源于中国，在这里制作风筝的理想材料一应俱全：丝织品用来做帆，极具韧性的（high-tensile-strength）丝线可以制作风筝线，轻盈的骨架则由韧性十足的竹子制成。据说，风筝是墨子和鲁班在公元前5世纪时发明的。在13世纪末期，马可•波罗首次将与风筝有关的故事介绍到欧洲。尽管风筝最初只被看作珍奇物品（curiosity），但自18世纪开始，风筝已经被用作科研工具。现在，风筝节已经成为一种流行的娱乐形式，最为著名的就是中国的潍坊风筝节。

Kites originated in China, where ideal materials for making kites were readily available: silk fabric for the sail, high-tensile-strength silk thread for the kite string, and resilient bamboo for the light framework. It is said that kites were invented by Mozi and Lu Ban in the 5th century BC. Stories about kites were first introduced to Europe by Marco Polo in the late 13th century. Although kites were initially regarded as curiosities, since the 18th century they have been used as a tool for scientific research. Now, kite festivals have become a popular form of entertainment, and the most famous one is China’s Weifang Kite Festival.
