翻译一：
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。
As
a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in
Chinese
culture, the color of red can
be seen everywhere during Spring
Festive and other festive/ joyous
occasions. Cash is usually put
in
red
envelopes
as
gifts
for
relatives
and
close/intimate
friends.
Also, red is much-welcomed /
fashionable in China because of its
association
with
Chinese
revolutions
and
the
Communist
Party.
However,
red
does
not
always
represent
/
equal
to
good
luck
and
joy.
Red was previously used to write the
names of the deceased so it
is seen as
an offence to write Chinese people’s names in red
ink.
翻译二
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。新娘在
婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象
征。然而，在中国传统
文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定
不要用
作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能
装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。
With the Reform and Opening-up of
China, a great many young
people
nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the
bride
wears
white
wedding
gown
because
the
color
is
considered
to
symbolize purity/is considered as the
symbol of purity. However,
in tradition
Chinese culture, white is often used on funerals.
So,
do bear in mind that white flowers
should never be used as a gift
to
celebrate someone’s recovery, especially not for
the aged or
those who are seriously
ill. Similarly, cash, as a gift, should be
enclosed in red envelopes rather than
white ones.

在中国文化中，黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色，因为他具有独特的象征
意义。在封建（
feudal
）社会中，它象征统治者的权利和权威。那时，黄
色是专为皇帝使用的颜色，皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色，黄袍总是黄色的，而
普通老百姓是禁止穿黄颜色衣服的。在中国，黄色也是收获的象征。秋天
庄稼成
熟时，田野变得一片金黄。人们兴高采烈，庆祝丰收。
In
Chinese
culture,
yellow
is
a
very
important
color
because
of
/due
to/ on account of its unique symbolic
meaning. In feudal society,
it
symbolizes rulers’ power and authority. At that
time, yellow
was exclusively used by
emperors: the royal palace was entirely
painted yellow and the imperial robe
always yellow; while common
people
were
forbidden
to
wear
yellow
clothes.
In
China,
yellow
also
symbolizes harvest/ is the symbol of
harvest. When crops are ripe
in autumn,
the fields take on a golden look, and people
celebrates
the good harvest
cheerfully.

For
this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an
essay.
Suppose you have two options
upon graduation: one is to work in a
state-owned business and the other in a
joint venture. You are to
make
a
choice
between
the
two.
Write
an
essay
to
explain
the
reasons
for your choice. You should write at
least 120 words but no more
than 180

范文
Upon
graduation, virtually all college students will
confront
the
tough problem
of
the
career
choice.
Students
’
opinions
differ
greatly on
this
issue.
Some
hold
that there
is
no
better way
to
get
a decent job than
working in a stated-owned business which will
guarantee a stable life, while others
prefer a joint venture as it
may
provide better welfare for employees.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view
in that a joint venture,
especially
a
high-salary
joint
venture,
exerts
a
tremendous
fascination on a
great number of people, with no exception to me.
Although it might be impossible to
ensure my retirement pension,
high-
salary
is
exactly
what
I
need
just
now.
In
my
view,
our
career
choices
largely
depend
on
where
we
want
to
stay
for
the
rest
of
life.
For
me,
metropolis
is
the
place
where
I
can
grasp
loads
of
opportunities and achieve my
personal dreams. As I hold the view
