English to Chinese: Introduction of Dublin Golf Club (都柏林高尔夫俱乐部) General field: Marketing Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English Golf is a baby with only a few hundreds years of history under its belt in this 1000-year old city rich in heritage and personality.
Like the people, the courses are a charismatic collection of beauty, brut force from prevailing winds whipping off the Irish Sea and hospitality only Dubliners can serve up.
Locals love to chat, will welcome you into their club like a life-long member and set your compass straight with some helpful hints as you step foot on to the course.
For the less hardy, Dublin’s courses provide a happy medium.
Legendary links accessible by day trip so you can absorb the cultural candor of urban life.
To really understand the fabric of the city you need to spend some time in a pub one evening.
The great thing is this fits perfectly with some post game banter between your playing foursome, allowing you to relive the day and tell some stories over a “jar”.
There’s 1000’s of pubs to choose from that will provide a window into the soul of the Irish people.

Source text - English What should you bring and how should you dress for the famous cherry blossom season? Japan's spring temperatures can change quite a lot but there are plenty of high-quality items for you to buy and use upon your arrival, or bring back as a gift!
Japan, like many countries around the world, has four distinct seasons. Each season has its own temperatures and weather that travelers need to prepare for. So how about spring? What should travelers bring and how should they dress for the famous cherry blossom season? Japan is quite a long country from north to south and the climate can vary depending on where you travel to! Generally in the spring, the temperature can change dramatically from day to day, as well as drop at night. Aside from warm clothing to layer up your ensemble with, there are some important items to have with you in spring. Many might worry that with changing weather, their suitcase will be heavy from all of the necessary clothing and accessories, but don't worry! Japan has plenty of high-quality items for you to buy and use upon your arrival, or bring back as a gift! Listed below are four necessities for your Japanese travels in the spring.
Pack or Buy?
It's a good idea to have these items on hand if you travel to Japan from late March to early June, but luckily it isn't a must to pack them when you can find so many great options! If you do like to be prepared, why not purchase some of these items and bring them back to show your friends the unique style of Japan's spring essentials?

English to Chinese: Art works of Gōkura Senjin and Gōkura Kazuko 乡仓千韧和乡仓和子美术作品介绍 General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English Gōkura Senjin was born in Kosugi, Toyama Prefecture. His studies at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts focused on Japanese painting, and he exhibited his work mostly at In-ten Exhibitions held by the Japan Art Institute. His warm representations of familiar plants and small animals brought him fame, but a trip to India inspired him to a passion for Buddhist subjects. This museum has one of his early works in its collection: "Early Winter," a carefully drawn scene of a lonely winter landscape.
Gōkura Kazuko is Gōkura Senjin's daughter. Like her father, she was active in the In-ten Exhibitions, and was highly regarded for her colorful, daringly composed flower-and-bird paintings. When she was in her 70s she grew fond of plum trees and began to paint them: the two works in our collection, a pair of screens depicting red and white blooming plum trees called "Endless Spring Day," and a painting called "Hazy Light" are both masterpieces.
Translation - Chinese 乡仓千韧出生在富山县小杉町。他在东京美术学校的学习专注于日本绘画，主要在日本艺术学会举办的院展中展出他的作品。对熟悉的植物和小动物的温暖表达风格使他声名鹊起，但一次印度之行激发了他对佛教主题的创作热情。本博物馆收藏了一幅他的早期作品：《初冬》，这幅画细致地描绘了一个凄凉冬日的景象。
