一篇关于旗袍的英语作文

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of

.

The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.

When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus.

chu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.

The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.

Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

旗袍因其式样由满族妇女的长袍改制而成，故称。是民国时期中国妇女开始穿着的、带有传统风格的长衫。

普遍认为，旗袍不同于满族民族服饰“旗服”，现代旗袍是有中国特色，迎合西方审美并采用西式剪裁的，兴起于二十年代，流行于三四十年代的时装。　由于旗袍的大范围流行和近年来影视作品的宣传，不少人尤其是对历史了解甚少的年轻人将旗袍当作中国的国服来看待。这样的观点并不正确的。旗袍只是一种时装,一个时代的见证. 回答人的补充   2009-06-08 00:44 Cheongsams their style gown by Manchu women from restructuring, it said. Is the beginning of the Republic of China Chinese women wear, long gown with a traditional style. Generally agreed that ethnic Manchu cheongsam dress is different from the "service flag", the modern cheongsam is a Chinese characteristics, to meet the West and adopt Western-style tailored aesthetic, and the rise in two decades on behalf of, on behalf of the fashion prevalent in three to four decades. Because of the large-scale epidemic cheongsams and propaganda films in recent years, many people, particularly those with little knowledge of history to the young people of the country cheongsams served as China`s view. The view is not correct. Cheongsam is a fashion, a witness of the era.

英语介绍旗袍

翻译如下

旗袍

清统一中国，也统一全国服饰，男人穿长袍马褂，女人穿旗袍。到了上世纪30年代初，旗袍已经极为流行了。旗袍正以浓郁的民族风格，体现了中华民族传统的服饰美。棉制旗袍很受欢迎，尤其是那些具有中国传统图案和文字的式样更受欢迎。至二十年代末，因受欧美服装的影响，旗袍的样式也有了明显的改变。旗袍的袖口便逐渐收小，而且绣边也不像之前那么宽了。如今中山装和旗袍已经成为我国男女服装的代表。

The Qing Dynasty unified China, and unified the nationwide costume as well. By the early 19306, Chi-pao had been very popular. Cheongsam features strong national flavor and embodies beauty of Chinese traditional costume. The cotton cheongsams are selling well, especially the ones with the traditional Chinese patterns and characters.At the end of20s, with the influenced of occident, the style of cheongsam changed obviously. The cuff was reduced gradually, and embroidered border was not as broad as the previous one. Nowadays, Zhongshan Suit and Qipao have become the representatives of Chinese men and women clothing.
