中国木雕
中国木雕(wood carving)有着悠久的历史，是中国传统艺术之一。人们认为现存最早的木雕大约是在三千年前的战国时期雕刻完成的。在中国，木雕主要分成三个类别：建筑雕刻、家具雕刻和艺术品雕刻。中国的木雕以其令人印象深刻的细致构造和主题之美受到了全世界的欣赏。今天，我们可以在私人画廊里看到传统木雕，也可以在长江两岸整个区域的宅邸装饰上看到它。
参考译文：

1.中国的木雕有着悠久的历史：“悠久的历史”可译为a longhistory，也可译为a time-honored history， time-honored意为“悠久的，老的”，如，“老字号”则为time-honored brand of China.
2.人们认为现存最早的木雕大约是在三千年前的战国时期雕刻完成的：本句可以将“人们”一词省去不译，用theearliest existing wood carving作主语。谓语则是“被认为是”，可译为be believed to，这里的to是动词不定式的标志。“雕刻完成”即“被做好”，可译为be made.“在三千年前的战国时期”则译作状语， 即during theWarring States Period about three thousand years ago.
