La Peregrina
In 1969, Richard Burton spent $37,000 (outbidding Prince Alfonso de Bourbon Asturias) to buy Elizabeth La Peregrina, a stunning pear shaped pearl, for her thirty-seventh birthday. Included in the purchase of La Peregrina was the pearl’s provenance, which is as fascinating as the pearl is rare and beautiful.
A slave was set free after finding the pearl in the Gulf of Panama and bringing it to the Spanish court. It was later given to Mary Tudor of England upon her engagement to Spain’s Phillip II in 1554. Later, Queens Margarita and Isabel owned the pearl. Both were immortalized, wearing the pearl, in separate portraits by the revered sixteenth century painter, Valásques. And finally, in the early part of the 1800’s, the Bonapartes owned the pearl.
In December 2011 the pearl sold for a record price of more than $11 million (£7.1m). La Peregrina was sold as part of Elizabeth Taylor's collection, which was being auctioned at Christie's in New York. It was sold mounted on the diamond Cartier necklace. Its value had been estimated at $3 million, but the bidding vastly exceeded the estimate and reached $10.5 million - increasing to more than $11 million once the various fees were factored in.
Translation - Chinese 珠宝传奇之La Peregrina
1969年，Richard Burton 出价三万七千美金（远高于阿斯图里亚斯王子Alfonso de Bourbon 的出价），想要购买一颗名为La Peregrina的稀有梨形珍珠作为37岁生日礼物送给Elizabeth。此珍珠的来历和珍珠本身一样，神奇而美丽，且绝无仅有，因此，购买珍珠的同时也就拥有了它所象征的一切。
一个奴隶在巴拿马海湾发现了这颗珍珠，并将它交给了西班牙宫廷，这个奴隶因此而获得自由。后来，英格兰女王 Mary Tudor和西班牙菲利普二世于1554年订婚，这颗珍珠就归玛丽女王所有。再后来，玛格丽特和伊莎贝尔都拥有过这颗珍珠。在十六世纪宫廷画家Valásques的一些肖像画中，这两位女王均佩戴此珍珠，两位女王也因油画作品而永垂不朽。最终，在19世纪初，拿破仑Bonapartes占有了这颗珍珠。

Source text - English We live in one of the tiny apartments in a multi-storeyed building complex that provides shelter to a number of middle-class families. But, the members of the family Felis Domestica who have taken a fancy to our complex might very well outnumber the members of Homo Sapiens. Because these quadrupeds with retractable claws, who can boast of their country cousins- Lions, Tigers, Lynxes, and Ocelots fear no one in our vicinity. The increasing feline population possessing nine lives up their claws bothers everyone but provides comic relief to many.
These cats in our avenue have their own strict demarcations about territory. The ground floor, first and second-floor mousers keep to their floors except for hungry forays into the kitchens across the lines of control. The terrace is exclusively reserved for the young ones and occasionally used by the aristocrats from the erstwhile Siam for body lickings and sunbaths. Some of the tomcats find cozy corners for a purring sleep in places where there isn’t room to swing a cat in, such as the watchman’s cabin, where they might have found the poor fellow catnapping. God has gifted these cats with two voice boxes one for purring and another for meowing and a few of the feline sopranos in our locality keep all the residents awake with their nocturnal orchestras on special occasions.
Some of the residents who wish to be clean as a cat in pattens get irritated when these grey cats mess up their things. The hawks among the residents strongly feel that these cats should be driven out with a cat o’nine tails. But the doves are undecided waiting to see which way the cat jumps. Well, we don’t know who will be called to bell the cat!

代号W117的全新一代奔驰A级已经是该系列的第四代产品，没想到奔驰A级在英国会有如此好的销量。不光从销量数字上，当你走在街头巷尾，经常能够看到它们精致帅气的身影，内饰更是甩掉老款好几条街，在顺应时代潮流发展的路上，奔驰又向前迈出了重要的一步。
Translation - English Mercedes-Benz A180d --- Test Drive
Product Code Named with W117, the fourth generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class series have unexpectedly gained remarkable sales in the UK. Besides those rosy figures, a random stroll down the street guarantees a chance that one can come across an exquisite car of this type or two. Plus, with the interior drastically improved compared with the old models, Mercedes-Benz has got a giant leap towards the leading trend.
The sedan version is a model that only appeared in the A-class of this generation. Since such a short car has also appeared on the CLA before, one can hardly tell much difference at a quick glance, but the fanciful rear design will bring about a visually dynamic sense.
Full text summary:
In fact, the assessment should come to an end when the exterior and interior parts are both evaluated. And the actual performance of a car doesn’t really that matter. I believe that people who finally choose this car do not expect much of its performance, but what they really care about is owning a decent car, that's all. From this perspective, I think this A180d can't be more suitable. The fashionable design and comfortable driving experience, coupled with the low fuel consumption of diesel, Benz A180d series have had enough reasons to impress you.

Bio
Language is so easy because it is something
we take for granted as human. Language is so difficult because we human have
been using different language systems. Translators are whose narrowing or
eliminating the communication gaps between two languages and who help convey
messages in another language.
Translation is so easy because AI has
developed to such a point where translators seem to be no longer needed.
Translation is so difficult because language in essence is creation, something
AI lacks.
So a competent translator calls for
* proficiency in target language and a
guarantee of a smooth reading experience.
* A thorough understanding of source
language, never missing out any detail in the translating process.
* A respectful attitude to grammar rules
* A little bit creation and flexibility.
Remember, language itself is art.

appreciate every chance.
