漢譯英試題訓(xùn)練
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：
思鄉(xiāng)(homesickness)是中國人的一個永恒的話題。從古至今，無論男女，家是他們永久的港灣，思鄉(xiāng)是他們不老的情結(jié)(complex)。正是這樣的情結(jié)成為中國歷代文人重要的創(chuàng)作題材，并以各種方式，從各種角度加以體現(xiàn)。是故鄉(xiāng)，喚起了他們心靈深處最美好的回憶，在對故鄉(xiāng)的思念中，他們又仿佛回到了那單純無邪的童年時代，回到了母親的懷抱，身心的創(chuàng)傷得到了暫時的平復(fù)，精神的空虛得到了剎那的充實，故鄉(xiāng)成了他們終極的歸宿地(ultimate destination)。
