For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake . 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食：翻译为 Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为 holiday meals , 即可，翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念：翻译为介词短语 in memory of,修饰前面的 a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟：翻译为 hold dragon boat races,其中 hold 意为“举行” ， “举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟” 。 4.观赏满月： “满月”即 fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为 viewing,也可以用 enjoying 或 watching 表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚： “象征”翻译为系表结构 is a symbol for,也可以用动词 symbolize 表示， “家庭团聚”翻译： 为 family reunion 即可。 练习 2 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发 展等。四级长度为 140-160 个汉字。) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
