難點注釋
這段關於剪紙的小文章難詞較多，長句較多，要想把它翻譯准確、通順，不僅需要考生的單詞量和單詞拼寫過關，而且語法和句間邏輯關系的把握以及中英文轉化技巧的運用也很重要。
1.這段文章中比較難的詞語有“美化”、“居家環境”、“婚慶”、“裝飾”等，這些詞英文中沒有明確對應的詞，考生在翻譯時應該抓住詞的根本意思進行翻譯。如“美化”可譯為make…more beautiful。
2.分析句子結構，抓住主幹。比如，第一句“剪紙( paper cutting)是中國最為流行的傳統民間藝術形式之一。”“剪紙”是主語，“是”是謂語，“中國最為流行的……..之一”是表語，基本可以斷定，本句轉化為英文時是一個主系表結構的句子。
3.處理中文裡的短句時，要抓住每句的主幹，其他短句在翻譯成英文時需要轉變為定語從句、狀語從句等，比如，“特別是在春節和婚慶期間，剪紙被用來裝飾門窗和房間，以增加喜慶的氣氛。”這句裡面，“特別是在春節和婚慶期間”在翻譯時可以譯為本句的狀語，“剪紙被用來裝飾門窗和房間”是句子的主幹，“以增加喜慶的氣氛”是本句的目的狀語。因此，需要用狀語從句和表目的的不定式結構來連接句子。
4.剪紙有著悠久的歷史，是傳統的民間藝術形式：從整個句子來看該句有兩個謂語動詞，即“有著”和“是”，可將其中的“有著”翻譯為with短語，即with a long history,"是”則用be動詞來表示。“民間藝術”可譯為folk art。
5.中國人認為門上的紅色剪紙可以給全家人帶來好運和幸福：“認為”可譯為believe,也可譯為think或consider後可跟賓語從句。“給…帶來…”可譯為bring…to...，其他帶有bring的常用的短語還有bring(培養，養有)、bring in(引起，介紹)、bring about(引起，導致)。

銆銆The couplet is a traditional form of Chinese poetry. They are also known as antithetical couplets, but are better described as counterpoints. These sentences are written on papers or cloth, or carved on bamboo, wood, or pillars. A couplet hung ring the Spring Festival is called a spring couplet; ring funerals, an elegiac couplet; and ring weddings, a wedding couplet. With its neat and orderly counterpoints alongside harmonious level and oblique tones, it is a unique form of the Chinese language that uses one word for one tone. History says that the couplet鈥檚 origin can be traced back to Meng Chang, ruler of Later Shu of the Five Dynasties鈥攎aking it a treasure of traditional Chinese culture. In 2005, the traditional couplet was added into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list by the State Council of China.
