It dates back to the 1930s at least.  这杂志不是新的，它至少可以追溯到20世纪30年代。 The origins of glass date back to 3,500 BC but it wasn't until the Roman Empire, 2,000 years ago, that the art of glass-blowing and the practical uses of glass became more widespread. 玻璃的起源可以追溯到公元前3500年，但直到2000年前的罗马帝国，吹制玻璃的艺术和玻璃的实际使用才变得更加广泛。 The sale also features Britain's most extensive collection of historical cookbooks, some of which date back to the reign of Henry VIII. 这次的拍品中还包括英国历史上众多烹饪书籍，其中一些甚至可以追溯到亨利八十统治时期。 (2)pay respect to：向……致敬：表示对某人或某事物的尊敬和敬意。 Any nation will pay respect to their ancestors.任何一个民族都会尊重他们的祖先。 Hence, recently, the Double Ninth Day has become an occasion to pay respect to the old. 因此到了近代，重阳节这一传统节日又有了新的节日内涵——敬老、爱老。 The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law. 第三天和第四天是女婿拜见岳父岳母的日子。 2.In ancient China, emperors followed the tradition of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn.在中国古代，皇帝遵循春天祭祀太阳，秋天祭祀月亮的传统。 句式解析： 本句是一个简单句，是主谓宾结构，emperors followed the tradition of...， 动名词短语offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn作介词of宾语，与介词of一起构成的介词短语作名词tradition的定语，表示“......的传统”。 词语解读： (1) follow the tradition of：遵循......传统：指按照过去的做法或规定行事，保持传统的方式或价值观。如： Whenever possible, Chinese people will follow the tradition of returning home and reuniting with family members on New Year's Eve.只要情况允许，中国人都会遵循除夕回家团聚的传统。 On Mother's Day morning some American children follow the tradition of serving their mothers breakfast in bed.在美国，一些孩子会在母亲节的早上让妈妈在床上享受早餐。 (2) offer sacrifices to: 向……献祭，祭拜：表示向神明、祖先或其他尊敬的对象献上祭品，以示敬意和感激。 Lots of Chinese offer sacrifice to the god of wealth (the god of gate, kitchen god) during Spring Festival.许多中国人会在这时祭祀财神(门神，灶神)。 As people always have a family reunion on New Year's Eve.
