近两年的英语六级翻译真题方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面，日常复习中我们也要提前储备一些常考话题材料。下面小编为大家准备了2020年英语六级翻译训练：中国水运，希望考生可以参考~

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

中国水运历史悠久。早在商朝就有了帆船。隋朝大运河(TheGrand Canal)为南北水运带来了很大便利。明朝时期，郑和七次下西洋，在其中一次航行中，他到达了非洲东海岸。中国河流众多，海岸线长，水运条件优越。长江是最重要的内陆航运(inland shipping)通道，其主流从四川宜宾到海洋，全长超过3000公里。重庆、武汉和南京是长江沿岸的重要港口。中国港口很多，适宜海运，如上海、大连、秦皇岛、天津、青岛、宁波、厦门、广州等。这些港口的航线能通往世界上150多个国家和地区。
