請(qǐng)將下面這段話(huà)翻譯成英文

石獅(stone lion)由石頭刻成，是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)建筑中常見(jiàn)的裝飾物。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，石獅是指大門(mén)外的一對(duì)獅子；然而，他們的外表卻不是我們所熟悉的獅子。也許中國(guó)古代的大多數(shù)中原人從未見(jiàn)過(guò)真正的獅子。據(jù)說(shuō)，獅子是在漢朝時(shí)由西域(the Western Region)引入中國(guó)的。在中國(guó)文化中，獅子是神話(huà)中的形象，而非真正的動(dòng)物。獅子被視為神獸(divine beast)。中國(guó)人認(rèn)為它可以驅(qū)除邪靈。一般情況下，根據(jù)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化，石獅應(yīng)該是一對(duì)。通常雌獅子的兩爪之間會(huì)刻一只幼獅，而雄獅則是用一只爪子玩球。

參考翻譯
Stone lions are carved out of stone, which is the common ornament in Chinese traditional architecture. Generally, stone lions refer to the paired lions out side the gate; however, their appearances are not the lions we are familiar with. Maybe most people in the central plains of ancient China had never seen a real lion. It is said lions were introduced into China in the Han Dynasty from the Western Region.In Chinese culture, lion is a mythical figure rather than a real animal. Lion is regarded as the divine beast. Chinese people think that lions can drive away the evil spirits. Generally，it should be a pair of lions according to Chinese traditional culture.The female lion is usually carved to have a child lion between her paws，while the male lion is playing a ball with one paw.
