灵隐寺(Lingyin Temple)位于浙江省杭州市西湖的西北部。它是江南著名古刹。该寺建于公元326年，有1600多年的历史。

传说, 印度一个叫作慧理的和尚来到杭州，被这美丽的山区景色深深地吸引了。他认为这里有神佛，所以建了一座庙宇，取名“灵隐”，意思是隐藏的灵魂。

据说著名的济公和尚也是在这座寺庙皈依的，这使灵隐寺更加有名。

西湖位于杭州市中心的西部，是江南三大名湖之一。由于西湖的缘故，杭州自古就被誉为“人间天堂”。西湖就像镶嵌(inlay)在广袤大地上的一颗璀燦的明珠，以其秀丽的风景、闻名的古迹、灿烂的文化和丰富的特产而闻名。宋代大文豪苏轼在西湖留下了“欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜”的千古绝唱;白娘子的传奇故事(The Legend of WhiteSnake )也给西湖增添了一层神秘色彩。

Because of it, Hangzhou has been acclaimed as "a heaven onearth", since ancient times.

The literary giant Su Shi in Song Dynasty left a poetic masterpiecethrough the ages there: The West Lake is like the beauty Xi Shi, who is always charming witheither light or heavy make-up (rainy or shiny). The Legend of White Snake also brings the WestLake an air of mystery.

1.江南：一般指长江以南，这里指“江南地区”，可译为regions south of the Yangtze River.

2.人间天堂：可译为a heaven on earth或者an earthlyparadise.

3.西湖就像…而闻名：本句较长，后一分句“以…闻名”可使用后置定语结构。另外，注意“秀丽的”、“闻名的”、“灿烂的和丰富的”四个形容词译文的选择。

4.大文豪：文豪就是指“伟大的或者优秀的文学家、作家”，故可译为a literary giant，a great writer或者an eminent writer.

5.欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜：中国古诗词讲究对仗押韵，是最难翻译的，翻译时要完全理解诗词要表达的语义。这句诗词的意思是，“西湖就像是西施，不管淡妆还是浓妆都很美”，且这里的“淡妆浓妆”指的.是西湖的“阴晴”，故本句可译为 The West Lake is like the beauty Xi Shi, who is always charming witheither light or heavy make-up (rainy or shiny)。
