2019上半年英語六級(jí)翻譯題庫：中國結(jié)

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　中國結(jié)(The Chinese Knot)是一種古老的藝術(shù)形式。人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，繩結(jié)可以追溯到10萬年前。中國人不僅用繩結(jié)來固定、包裹、狩獵、捕魚，還用來記錄事件，而且有些繩結(jié)純粹起裝飾作用。中國結(jié)具有文化內(nèi)涵(cultural connotation)。由于結(jié)在漢語中的發(fā)音與“吉”相近，吉的意思為“福、祿、壽、喜、財(cái)、安、康”，這是中國人永恒的追求，因此有些中國結(jié)表達(dá)出人們的各種愿望。例如：新婚夫婦的房間通常用一個(gè)盤長結(jié)(Pan-chang Knot)來裝飾，象征著永恒的愛情。

　　參考譯文

　　The Chinese Knot is an ancient art form and the artifacts could be found as far back as 100 000 years ago. Chinese people used knots for more than just fastening, wrapping, hunting, fishing. Knots were also used to record events, and some knots had purely ornamental functions. The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations. Since knot is pronounced as “jie”in Chinese similar with that of “Ji”, which means blessing, good salary, longevity, happiness, fortune, safety and health and is the everlasting pursuit of Chinese people, some Chinese Knots express people’s various hopes. For example, the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolize eternal love.
