2017年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯每日一練：冰燈

談起我國(guó)的吉祥藝術(shù)。不得不提鼻煙壺(Snuff bottIe)。盡管它的歷史不長(zhǎng)，卻濃縮了歷史悠久的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化;盡管鼻煙是舶來品，但鼻煙壺經(jīng)過中國(guó)能工巧匠的精心打造，很快便成為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的、嶄新的工藝術(shù)美術(shù)品種;盡管它很袖珍，但集多種工藝之大成，被廣大收藏愛好者視為珍貴文玩。鼻煙壺所蘊(yùn)含的吉祥文化，不僅在裝飾中表現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致，而且還表現(xiàn)在材質(zhì)、造型等方面。

請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

冰燈(ice lantern)是中國(guó)北方廣泛創(chuàng)作的冬季藝術(shù)品。它最初是為了照明，在 寒冷的冬夜為中國(guó)北方的農(nóng)民和漁民的工作生活提供光源。后來，各種形狀和大 小的水晶般透明的冰燈逐漸成為一種民間藝術(shù)，冰燈博覽會(huì)(fair)成為北方特有 的民俗休閑活動(dòng)。黑龍江省省會(huì)哈爾濱是中國(guó)冰雪藝術(shù)的發(fā)源地。1963年元宵節(jié) 期間，哈爾濱市在公園舉辦了首屆冰燈博覽會(huì)，幾千盞冰燈和幾十枝冰花展出， 冰燈和冰花由簡(jiǎn)單的工具制成，如結(jié)冰的盆和籃子。后來，大型年度冰燈博覽會(huì) 每年都在哈爾濱舉行。
