问题     在中国，元宵节(The Lantern Festival)在农历元月十五这一天庆祝，标志着新年庆祝活动的结束。关于元宵节的由来，说法不一。有一个传说是这样讲的：一些村民射杀了一只来自天庭的仙鹤，这激怒了天庭玉帝(Jade Emperor)。于是，他命令天兵在农历十五这一天火烧村庄。他的女儿把这个计划告知了村民。一位智者建议每家每户都在房子周围挂上红灯笼，在街上燃放鞭炮，制造村里着火的景象。在这一天，玉帝看到村子已经是一片火海，决定不去烧毁村庄了。从那天开始，人们悬挂灯笼、放鞭炮和焰火来庆祝这个节日。
选项
答案     The Lantern Festival in China is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar, marking the last day of the New Year celebration. There are different beliefs about its origin. One legend tells that a crane from heaven was shot dead by some villagers, which angered the Jade Emperor in heaven. So, he ordered his troops to set fire to the village on the fifteenth lunar day. His daughter warned the villagers of her father’s plan. A wise man suggested that every family should hang red lanterns around their houses and explode firecrackers in streets to give the village the appearance of being on fire. On the very day, the Jade Emperor saw that the village was already ablaze and decided not to burn it down. From that day on, people celebrate the festival by hanging lanterns and exploding firecrackers and firework.
解析     1．“元宵节”是被人们“庆祝”，因此第一句前半部分译为被动语态，以元宵节作为句子主语。“标志着……的结束”可处理为伴随状语marking the last day of／marking the end of或定语从句which marks the last day of。
    2．“元宵节的由来，说法不一”的中心词为“说法不一”(即有不同的说法，there are different beliefs)；“元宵节的由来”可处理为“说法”的定语，用介词about引出，即There are different beliefs about its origin．
    3．“制造村里着火的景象”是挂灯笼、燃放烟火的目的，因此把它处理为不定式to give the village the appearance of being on fire。
    4．“一片火海”表达的是村子着火的状态，用ablaze“燃烧着的”来表达比较恰当。
