问题中国人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界上独树一帜，有史记载用筷子的历史已有三千多年。筷子古时称为箸(zhu)，它表面上看似简单，却有多种功能。竹子是制作筷子最常见的原材料，其他的原材料有木头、骨头，在古代富人家中，贵金属(precious metals)做的筷子是很常见的。中国民间视筷子为吉祥之物(mascot)，如婚俗中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福。与使用刀叉以及手抓的方式不同，成双结对的筷子含有“和为贵”的意蕴。西方人赞誉筷子是古老东方文明的标志。

选项

答案 The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in the world. The recorded history of chopsticks is more than three thousand years. Chopsticks were named zhu in ancient China. They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions. Bamboo tends to be the most popular raw material to make chopsticks. Other materials include wood and bone, and chopsticks made of precious metals were not uncommon among the wealthy in ancient times. Chopsticks are taken as a mascot by ordinary people in China. For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing for the couple to have a baby soon. Unlike eating with knives and forks or with one’s own hands, a pair of chopsticks implies the meaning of "Harmony is what matters". Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a mark of ancient oriental civilization.

解析 1．第一句中，“在世界上独树一帜”可以译为be unique in the world；“有史记载”可以译为the recorded history。
2．第二句中，“表面上”可用副词deceptively来表示。
3．第三句中，“很常见的”可以用一个双重否定的结构are not uncommon来表达。
4．第四句中，“隐喻”在这里是指筷子的谐音，可以译为the partial tone。
5．第五句中，“和为贵”可以译为Harmony is what matters。
6．第六句可将中文的主动句译为英语的被动句，这样使句子显得更有连贯性。
