　　在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时，通常放在红色信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运和快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水书写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。

　　随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色的信封里，而要装在红色的信封里。

　　在中国文化中，黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色，因为它具有独特的象征意义。在封(feudal)社会中，它象征统治者的权利和权威。那时，黄色是专为皇帝使用的颜色，皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色，黄袍总是黄色的，而普通老百姓是禁止穿黄色衣服的。在中国，黄色也是收获的象征。秋天庄稼成熟时，田野变得一片金黄。人们兴高采烈，庆祝丰收。

　　In Chinese culture, the color of yellow is of great significance for its unique symbolic meaning. In feudal society, it embodies/symbolizes/is a symbol of the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, yellow was specifically used for emperors, for example, royal palaces were painted yellow and imperial robes were in yellow. However, average people were prohibited/forbidden/not allowed to dress in yellow. In China, yellow also signifies/means harvest. The fields grow golden yellow when the crops are ripe/mature in autumn. Then, people celebrate the harvest cheerfully.

　　点评：今年的三道翻译题全考得是我们熟悉的颜色：红、白、黄，属于中国传统文化，相对简单，无论是从词汇还是句型来说，都不会对同学们造成较大障碍。翻译时，碰见动词要注意“两态”：语态和时态;看见名词注意单复数，同时英语要避免重复，注意句式多样化，多用同义替换，偶尔使用下代词;直译与意译相结合，当然要保证直译优先原则，要忠实于原文，不可一味追求华丽辞藻。在此提醒大家，平时要多多关注中国特色的传统文化概念和习惯性表达，点滴积累在平时，如此考场上才能应对自如，愿大家都能顺利通过!
