问题    中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival),即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚,一起吃年夜饭。为驱厄运、迎好运,家家户户都会进行大扫除。人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探亲访友等。

选项

答案    Chinese New Year is the most important traditional festival for Chinese people. In China, it is also called the Spring Festival. The New Year’ s celebrations last from the New Year’ s Eve, namely the last day of the last month of the lunar calendar, to the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first month. Customs and traditions surrounding the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary broadly from place to place. Nevertheless, the New Year’s Eve is often an occasion for Chinese families to gather together for the annual reunion dinner. It is also customary for every family to thoroughly clean their houses so as to sweep away ill fortune and to bring in good luck. Chinese people also decorate their doors with red couplets, the themes of which are health, wealth and good luck. There are some other activities such as setting off fireworks, giving money in red envelopes, and visiting relatives and friends.

解析 本文主要介绍了中国的春节,属于说明文。因此,汉译英时应使用较为正式的词语,而且本文讲述的是一个客观事实,所以时态应为一般现在时。文中有许多跟春节有关的庆祝活动,汉语考生都很熟悉,但译成英语时会有一定的难度。
汉译英时,首先要看清题材,选择相应的时态;其次,准确理解原文要表达的意思;最后,注意英汉两种句子结构、语言表达的差异,选择标准的英语句子结构、地道的表达方式,为译文加分。
