2016年12月英语四级翻译模拟练习题：快时尚

　　随着中国中产阶级的崛起，相对于他们的父母一代而言，中国的青少年有更多的钱可以花在服装上。这就鼓励了“快时尚(fast fashion)”市场在中国的发展。在“快时尚”市场上，国际零售商们出售消费者负担得起的、与流行大牌设计师设计的服装款式相仿的服饰。国际快时尚零售商，像Zara和H&M,都旨在将最新的时尚趋势尽可能快地带到大众市场(the mass market)中去。“快时尚”再加上中国人可支配收入的增加，导致了青少年时尚达人(fashionistas)数量的上升。大量国际品牌的涌入给中国设计师带来了激烈的竞争。

　　四级翻译参考答案:

　　With the rise of China's middle class, Chinese adolescents have more money to spend on clothes than their parents, which has encouraged the development of a “fast fashion” market in China where international retailers sell affordable and similar clothes designed by popular and brand-name designers. International fast fashion retailers like Zara and H&M both aim to bring the newest fashion trend to the mass market as quickly as possible. Fast fashion, coupled with the increase of disposable income of Chinese People, has led to a rising number in teenage fashionistas. The flood of international brands has brought about a fierce competition to the Chinese designers.
