2015年12月英语四级翻译练习：安徽黄梅戏

说到黄梅戏，大家都能“树上的鸟儿成双对”咿咿呀呀 的唱上一段。你也许知道黄梅戏是安徽特色之一，但你是否知道其实它最早源于湖北省黄梅县的采茶曲呢？

请将下面这段中文翻译成英文：

黄梅戏（Huangmei Opera)源于湖北省黄梅县的采茶歌曲，连同京剧、越剧 (Yue Opera)、评剧(Ping Opera)和豫剧(Yu Opera)是中国的五大戏曲。它最初是以一种简单的载歌载舞的戏剧形式出现的。后来，随着饱受洪水灾害的灾民，黄梅戏传到了安徽省安庆市。它吸收了徽剧和当地歌舞的元素，发展到了今天的形式。黄梅戏以一种清新的风格反映了普通居民的生活，受到了群众的喜爱。

参考译文：

Huangmei Opera was originated from tea picking songs in Huangmei county, Hubei province.It is one of the Five Operas in China together with Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Ping Opera and Yu Opera.It first appeared as a simple drama of song and dance. Later, it was spread to Anqing city, Anhui province by immigrating victims of floods. Absorbing elements of Anhui Opera and local songs and dances, Huangmei Opera was developed to the present form. It enjoys great popularity among the masses by reflecting the life of ordinary people in a fresh style.
