问题    中国结(Chinese knot)是中国特有的手工编织工艺品,在中华民族艺术文化遗产中占据重要的地位。它的特点是每一个结都由一根绳索编成,并根据其特定的外形和意义来命名。中国结的传统源远流长。在古代,中国结仅仅是人们用来记事或绑住衣物的工具。如今,人们多将其用作室内装修的道具、亲友间的馈赠礼物及个人的随身饰物。在汉语中,“结”寓意团圆、友好、和平和爱等,所以中国结经常被用来表达美好的祝愿。

选项

答案    The Chinese knot, a kind of hand-woven handicraft, is peculiar to China, occupying a prominent position in the nation’s artistic and cultural heritage. It is characterized by every knot being made with a single rope and being named after its specific shape and meaning. The tradition of Chinese knot enjoys a long history. In ancient times, the Chinese knot is just a tool used by people to keep track of their daily life or tie their clothes. Nowadays, it usually functions as interior decoration, gift among relatives and friends, as well as personal ornament. In Chinese language, a knot means reunion, amity, peace and love, etc. , so the Chinese knot is often used to express good wishes.
