中國畫國畫(Chinese painting)是世界上最古老的藝術傳統之一。繪畫時用毛筆蘸黑墨或彩墨在紙張或絲綢上作畫。根據表現手法，國畫可分爲寫童派(the Xieyi school)和工筆派(the Gongbi school)兩大類。寫意派以自 由表達和形式誇張爲特點;工筆派則注重以精細的筆法描繪細節。山水畫被公認爲國畫的最高形式。縱觀歷史，不同時期的國畫都相應地反映出人們的社會意識。
參考譯文：
Chinese painting is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The painting is done on paper or silk with a brush dipped in black or colored ink.

詞句點撥
1.第2句爲無主語句，翻譯時可補充出主語0ne，譯作When painting, one uses a brush to dip it in black ink...，但這種譯法顯得較爲繁冗。此處宜把時間狀語“繪畫時”轉換成主句is done,“用毛筆蘸黑墨......”處理成方式狀語，用介詞短語with a brush dipped in black...來表達，這樣句子更簡潔、邏輯關係更強。
2.在第3句中，“可分爲幾大類”可譯爲短語be divided gories;“寫意派和工筆派”則可用定語從 句which are...來表達。
3.第4句含有對比的並列結構，可用表對比的連詞while來連接。該句中的“注重……描繪細節”譯成attach importance to detail即可達意，省譯“描繪”;“以精細的筆法”是方式狀語，可用介詞短語with fine brush work來表達，置於句末。
4.在最後一句中，定語“不同時期的”較長，可將其處理成後置定語，表達爲at different times/periods。
