2023年12月大学英语四级翻译训练：洞庭湖
洞庭湖坐落于湖南东北部，面积非常大，但湖水非常浅。洞庭湖是长江的蓄洪地， 湖的大小非常大程度上取决于季节变化。湖北和湖南两省因其与湖的相对地方而得名：湖北意为“湖的北边”， 而湖南则为“湖的南边”。洞庭湖作为龙舟赛的发源地，在中国文化中享有盛名。据了解龙舟赛始于洞庭湖东岸，为的是搜寻楚国爱国诗人屈原的遗体。龙舟赛与洞庭湖及周围的美景，每年都吸引着成千上万来自全国和世界各地的游客。

Two provinces in China are named Hunan and Hubei due to the fact that they are relative position to the lake: Hubei means “north side of Lake”; Hunan means “ South side of the Lake”.
