参考译文：
Qin Shi Huang
Ying Zheng (259 B.C.–210 B.C.), the son of King Zhuangxiang, was the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He ascended the throne at the age of 13 and began to govern the state in person at 21. In 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang unified the entire country and established the first **centralized**, feudal state in Chinese history. During his reign, he standardized the writing system, currency, and weights and measures; moreover, the imperial autocracy he instituted persisted in Chinese history for over two thousand years. However, in order to control the populace and strengthen his autocratic rule, Qin Shi Huang adopted a variety of brutal measures, the most notorious of which was the infamous "burning of books and burying of scholars."

翻译技巧点拨：历史人物介绍的翻译技巧
一、身份与生平：多用正式动词
中文喜欢“是……”，英文要换成更高级的表达。
常用替换：
- is / was→ served as / acted as / functioned as
- became king → ascended the throne / came to power
- started to rule → assume the throne / govern in person / take the reins of government
例句示范：
> 他13岁继承王位，21岁开始亲政。
✅ He ascended the throne at 13 and began to govern in person at 21.
二、年代与时间：学会“重组”而不是照搬
中文爱说“XX年～XX年”，英文里多用B.C. / A.D.结构，并注意语序。
要点：
- 年份放在人名后，用逗号隔开
- 公元前用 B.C.，写在年份后面
- 公元后用 A.D.，可放在年份前或后
例句示范：
> 秦始皇（前259年～前210年）
Qin Shi Huang (259 B.C.–210 B.C.)
三、成就描述：名词化 + 被动语态（加分点）
六级很爱“名词化”和“被动”，显得客观、正式。
常见套路：
- 统一文字 → standardize the writing system
- 统一货币 → standardize the currency
- 建立制度 → institute / establish a system
- ……一直延续 → persist / endure / remain in place
例句示范：
> 他统一了文字、货币和度量衡。
He standardized the writing system, currency, and weights and measures.
> 皇权制度延续了两千多年。
The imperial system persisted for over two thousand years.
四、转折与负面评价：用好连接词
历史介绍常是“有功有过”，可以用这些结构体现逻辑层次：
- 表示转折：
- However
- Nevertheless
- Despite his achievements
- 表示目的：
-in order to...
- with the aim of...
- 表示手段/方式：
- adopt measures
- resort to methods
- employ brutal tactics
例句示范：
> 为了加强统治，他采取了许多残忍的手段。
In order to consolidate his rule, he adopted a series of brutal measures.
五、专有名词：提前准备“历史词库”
六级常考的历史名词不多，记住这些基本够用：
- 中央集权：centralized (power/system)
- 封建国家：feudal state
- 度量衡：weights and measures
- 焚书坑儒：burning of books and burying of scholars
- 暴君：tyrant
- 朝代：dynasty
六、一个“六级范儿”的小模板
> [Name] (Year–Year), ruler of [Dynasty], ascended the throne at [age]. During his reign, he standardized [things] and established [system]. However, in order to [purpose], he adopted [measures], the most notorious of which was [example].
