從近幾年的英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯真題中我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯目前考察的方向多偏向于社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化等方面，日常復(fù)習(xí)中我們也應(yīng)儲(chǔ)備一些?？荚掝}材料。下面本站網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)頻道為大家整理了英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)題系列，希望對(duì)大家的備考有幫助。

四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：紅色

在中國(guó)文化中，紅色通常象征著好運(yùn)、長(zhǎng)壽和幸福，在春節(jié)和其他喜慶場(chǎng)合，紅色到處可見。人們把現(xiàn)金作為禮物送給家人或親密朋友時(shí)，通常放在紅信封里。紅色在中國(guó)流行的另一個(gè)原因是人們把它與中國(guó)革命和共產(chǎn)黨相聯(lián)系。然而，紅色并不總是代表好運(yùn)與快樂(lè)。因?yàn)閺那八勒叩拿殖Ｓ眉t色書寫，用紅墨水寫中國(guó)人名被看成是一種冒犯行為。

參考譯文：

The color of red in Chinese culture usually means good luck, longevity and happiness. Red can be found everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and other joyous occasions. Cashes often in red envelopes are sent to family members or close friends as gifts. Its popularity can also be attributed the fact that people accociate it with Chinese revolution and Communist Party. However, it does not always equal to good luck and joy in that the name of the dead used to be written in red. Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense.
