Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese to
English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.
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。 在封建(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。
参考译文：
In Chinese culture, yellow is a significant color, which carries a unique symbolic meaning. It embodies rulers’ power and authority in feudal society, where yellow was specifically used for emperors, for example, royal palaces were painted with yellow tint and the imperial robes were yellow. However, average people were not allowed to wear clothes in that color. In China, yellow also means harvest. When crops are ripe in Fall, wild field are golden every where. Then people celebrate the good harvest with happiness and gratitude.
点评：
此次题目考的是我们非常熟悉的中国传统文化，相对来说是比较简单的，无论从词汇和句子结构来说，对同学们不会造成太大障碍。在翻译时，要考虑到英文的行文特点及语法结构，比如，英语多避免重复，所以，在翻译时会用到一些代替，比如，it, that, those,these等。同时，会用到从句，此时，注意连词的用法，选对连词，避免出现逻辑问题。
