2016年英语四级翻译喜欢考中国传统文化，下面是小编整理的12月翻译卷一的参考答案，希望能帮到大家!
红色
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与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
参考译文：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.

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。比如，“人们把现金作为礼物送给家人...”中，把...作为...,这是一个经典常用的表达即use A as B,还有很多象类似的regard A as B, view A as B,等等。
此外，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。
