The CompassChina is universally acknowledged as the countrywhere the compass was invented. The compass,originally called Sinan, a south-pointing ladle,appeared during the Warring States Period.Generally, the directions of north, east, west and south are shown on the compass, and so arethe angle markings in degrees. North corresponds to zero degree, and the degrees increaseclockwise. As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, the compass played animportant role in people’s life, especially in maritime undertakings. It also had a significantinfluence on the western world, as thereafter those countries began large-scale overseasadventures.1.举世公认的:可译为universally accepted 或 universally acknowledged。2.并且还有刻度:这里是指刻度也标示在上面，所以可以承接上文，用“so+助动词”的结构来表达。3.顺时针方向:应译为clockwise。其反义词“逆时针方向”为counterclockwise。4.中国古代的四大发明:应译为the four great inventionsof ancient China。四大发明具体表达为 compass、gunpowder(火药)、papermaking technology (造纸术)和 movable-type printing(活字印刷)。5.起到了重要的作用:可译为play an important role/part。6.对…产生…影响:可译为 have a/an...influence/impact on...（你可以对照这个，找出自己的不足，那更有利于提升自己的水平哦）
