民间艺术：中国是茶的故乡。

早在唐朝，中国茶远销海内外，先到日本、韩国，然后至印度中亚。

明清时期，远销阿拉伯国家。

在17世纪初期，中国茶叶又远销至欧洲各国，很多上层社会的贵族、绅士都养成了喝茶的习惯。

中国的共和中国的丝绸及磁器一样，已经成为了中国在全世界的代名词。

追溯中国的茶文化不得不提到茶圣—陆羽，他生活在唐代，是中国最早撰写《茶全》的人，这本著作中包含了做茶的全过程，包括茶的品种、茶室、茶的传说、茶的工艺品以及茶的文化。

中国是一个礼仪之邦。

当有客人来访时，一定会用茶水招待客人。

上茶之前，他们会询问客人的爱好。

如果你有机会来中国，一定不要忘了喝上一杯中国茶。

China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The spirit of tea permeates(渗透) Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs. China is a country with a time-honored civilization and a land of ceremony and decorum. Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to make and serve tea to them. Before serving tea, you may ask them for their preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy and serve them the tea in the most appropriate teacups. If one day you come to China, remember to drink a cup of tea.旗袍是具有中国特色的女性服饰，如同一种语言一样为全世界众所周知，它表达了东方女性的美。

1、狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。

狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。

古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。

据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。

在唐代（theTang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。

因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals. InChinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, whichcould drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history ofmore than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was alreadyintroduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the liondance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom wherepeople could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.2、中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业（enterprises）意味着更多的商机。

英语四级翻译常用词汇：123个中文高频成语翻译Automation 1502 YuDeyu一、复习建议：1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累2. 广撒网，学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练做这些单句训练时，先阅读1遍整个段落，专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子，然后重点练习这一句的翻译。

难句会了，简单句自然不在话下。

在做单句翻译时，先尝试自己翻，翻完以后，对照答案，看解析，总结和揣摩其中好的词汇和表达。

下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例，具体学习吧~1. 对于大多数年轻人来说，结婚意味着独立组建家庭，然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。

参考译文：For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices.词汇点评：组建家庭：set up a family。

有同学容易使用start a family。

start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。

越来越：一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more，比如“越来越多的人”more and more people，但译为a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮；而表达“变得越来越”的含义时，使用become increasingly的译法更好。

物价的不断上涨：constantly rising prices，而不是price rising。

表达点评：本句是一个表转折关系的并列句，后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”，因此，用which引导的非限制性定语从句，让整个句子简洁明了。

2013年12月（第一套）许多人喜欢中餐。

在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。

精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。

烹饪技巧和配料在中国各地差别很大。

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。

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.

Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense.白色随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。
