英语四六级翻译预测练习：南海、渤海、黄海、东海

英语四六级翻译考过山（泰山、黄山）、河（黄河、长江、珠江）、湖（太湖、洞庭湖、青海湖），就差个海就能凑齐山河湖海。

本着英语四六级考试翻译实用性的原则，即为外国人介绍中国（文化，历史，地理，人文等）。

预测会有小概率考祖国的海洋。即使没有考到，也是一种提高。

南海

因位于中国南边而得名，是位于中国南方的陆缘海，为西太平洋的一部分。南海面积356万平方公里，约等于中国的渤海、黄海和东海总面积的3倍，为中国近海中面积最大、水最深的海区，平均水深1212米，最大深度5559米。南海南北纵跨约2000公里，东西横越约1000公里。南海中国大陆海岸线长5800多公里，沿海地区包括广东、广西、海南、台湾。南海北部沿岸海域是传统经济鱼类的重要产卵场和索饵场。南海有丰富的海洋油气矿产资源。明朝时期，郑和等率领数十万人马分乘几十艘巨舰横越南海航线。

The South China Sea, named for its location in the south of China, is a marginal sea in southern China that forms part of the western Pacific Ocean.
