主题：【原创】受人启发想把wiki 上面关于西藏的部分给大家翻译一下 -- 中国陈

Between the 17th century and 1951, the Dalai Lama and his regents were the predominant political power administering religious and administrative authority[3] over large parts of Tibet from the traditional capital Lhasa.

这句话最好翻成：“从17世纪到1951年，达赖喇嘛和他的代表驻于西藏的传统首都拉萨，是一股在西藏大部分地区有着宗教和行政权力的政治势力”这句话里没有达赖在西藏扩展势力的意思，我的理解是它说明了达赖的权力完全来自北京。

Tibet proclaimed its independence from China in 1911 on the eve of the fall of the Qing dynasty and it's subsequent internal turmoil, while China never renounced its claim of sovereignty to Tibet.[citation needed] No country formally recognized Tibet as an independent country from 1912 to 1951. Tibet remained a defacto independent state until shortly after the conclusion of the Chinese civil war, when on October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was formally proclaimed in Beijing and the following year launched an armed invasion of Tibet.[4] The Chinese army of 40,000 men routed the unprepared defending Tibetan army of only 5,000 near the city of Chamdo. The defeat subsequently led to he signing of the Seventeen point agreement by the Tibetan Government. Currently every country in the world recognizes China's sovereignty over Tibet.

1911年，在清朝被推翻中国陷入内乱的的前夕，西藏宣布独立（我觉得这里要说明的是当时中国的大半省份都宣布了独立自治，但它们的“独立”是相对于满清政府而言，并不是独立与中国），但是中国从未放弃它对西藏的主权。在1912年到1951年之间也没有国家正式承认西藏是一个独立的国家。西藏保持着事实上的独立状态，直到中国内战结束后不久。中华人民共和国于1949年10月1日在北京正式成立，并在1950年派遣军队进入西藏。四万中国军队在昌都附近击溃了五千缺乏战斗力的藏军（昌都战役），西藏政府随后签署了17点协定。目前世界上的每个国家都承认中国对西藏的主权。
