难点注释
这段关于剪纸的小文章难词较多，长句较多，要想把它翻译准确、通顺，不仅需要考生的单词量和单词拼写过关，而且语法和句间逻辑关系的把握以及中英文转化技巧的运用也很重要。
1.这段文章中比较难的词语有“美化”、“居家环境”、“婚庆”、“装饰”等，这些词英文中没有明确对应的词，考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思进行翻译。如“美化”可译为make…more beautiful。
2.分析句子结构，抓住主干。比如，第一句“剪纸( paper cutting)是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。”“剪纸”是主语，“是”是谓语，“中国最为流行的……..之一”是表语，基本可以断定，本句转化为英文时是一个主系表结构的句子。
3.处理中文里的短句时，要抓住每句的主干，其他短句在翻译成英文时需要转变为定语从句、状语从句等，比如，“特别是在春节和婚庆期间，剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间，以增加喜庆的气氛。”这句里面，“特别是在春节和婚庆期间”在翻译时可以译为本句的状语，“剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间”是句子的主干，“以增加喜庆的气氛”是本句的目的状语。因此，需要用状语从句和表目的的不定式结构来连接句子。
4.剪纸有着悠久的历史，是传统的民间艺术形式：从整个句子来看该句有两个谓语动词，即“有着”和“是”，可将其中的“有着”翻译为with短语，即with a long history,"是”则用be动词来表示。“民间艺术”可译为folk art。
5.中国人认为门上的红色剪纸可以给全家人带来好运和幸福：“认为”可译为believe,也可译为think或consider后可跟宾语从句。“给…带来…”可译为bring…to...，其他带有bring的常用的短语还有bring(培养，养有)、bring in(引起，介绍)、bring about(引起，导致)。

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.
