2019年翻译资格考试初级笔译模拟题：地图测量
汉译英
到了清代康熙年间，我国大规模地开展全国性地图测量工作，绘制《皇舆全图》的时候，吸取了欧洲制图理论中考虑大地是球面的优点，进行经纬度测量，并且采用了地图投影方法。但是我国传统的制图理论，讲求比例尺寸、方位和距离的准确，仍然是测绘地图所必须遵守的重要原则。
参考译文
During the reign of the Emperor King Xi (1662-1722) in the Qing Dynasty, a complete geographical survey of the empire was carried out in preparing Huang Yu Quan Tu (Complete Atlas of the Imperial Domain). The European method of regarding the earth’s surface as a sphere was adopted. Latitude and longitude surveys were done and the project method was used in drawing the map. Nevertheless, the traditional Chinese rules of map-making-- accurate proportion, correct orientation and precise distance-- were closely adhered to by cartographers pf those days.
