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< /p>
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

Opening-up
of
China,
a
great
many
young
people nowadays
prefer
to
hold

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

used
as
a
gift
to
celebrate
someone’s
recovery,
especially
not
for
the

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（
）社会中，它象征统治者的权利和权威。
那时，黄色是

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 words.
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
that live in the moment, not
the future, and also in order to finance
myself in some aspects such as the
transportation, the house-renting
or
social
activities,
a
joint
venture
can
satisfy
my
needs
for
the
consumption I mentioned
above.
In short, a joint venture is the
first and only consideration in my
choice of career.
