　　英語六級翻譯練習(xí)題：風(fēng)箏
　　風(fēng)箏是中國的一個發(fā)明,，被贊譽(yù)為現(xiàn)代飛機(jī)的先驅(qū)。它為科學(xué)的發(fā)展和飛機(jī)的生產(chǎn)做出了貢獻(xiàn),。第一架飛機(jī)的形狀便是根據(jù)風(fēng)箏造出來的,。中國最早的風(fēng)箏都是用木頭做的，最早可追溯到至少兩千年前的戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期(the Warring StatesPeriod),。紙被發(fā)明后,，人們開始使用這種新材料制作風(fēng)箏。早期的風(fēng)箏被用于軍事目的,。據(jù)歷史文獻(xiàn)記載,，那時(shí)風(fēng)箏的尺寸很大，有些大到足以能夠把人帶到空中來觀察敵人的行動,。
