隨著中國的改革開放，如今很多年輕人都喜歡舉行西式婚禮。新娘在婚禮上穿著白色婚紗，因?yàn)榘咨徽J(rèn)為是純潔的象征。然而，在中國傳統(tǒng)文化中，白色經(jīng)常是葬禮上使用的顏色。因此務(wù)必記住，白花一定不要用作祝人康復(fù)的禮物，尤其不要送給老年人或危重病人。同樣，禮金也不能裝在白色的信封里，而要裝在紅色的信封里。
參考譯文：
Along with China’s reform and opening-up, nowadays many young people prefer western style wedding ceremonies. White symbolizes purity, therefore bribes often wear white wedding gowns in ceremony. In Chinese traditional culture, however, white is often used at funerals. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that white flowers cannot be taken as gifts when you wish patients recover from illness, especially senior or critical patients. It is true of white envelopes, which means you cannot put cash in white envelopes but in red ones.
紅色

中國文化中，紅色通常象征著好運(yùn)、長壽和幸福，在春節(jié)和其他喜慶場合，紅色到處可見。人們把現(xiàn)金作為禮物送給家人或親密朋友時(shí)，通常放在紅信封里。紅色在中國流行的另一個(gè)原因是人們把它與中國革命和共產(chǎn)黨相聯(lián)系。然而，紅色并不總是代表好運(yùn)與快樂。因?yàn)閺那八勒叩拿殖Ｓ眉t色書寫，用紅墨水寫中國人名被看成是一種冒犯行為。
參考譯文：
In Chinese culture, red usually symbols luckiness, longevity and happiness, therefore, red can be seen everywhere in Spring festival and other celebrating occasions. When people give money as gift to families or closed friends, they often put money in red envelopes. The other reason why red is so popular in China is that it is,at times, connected with Chinese revolution and the Communist party. Whereas, red does not always mean luckiness and happiness because in the past names of the dead were often written in red, therefore, it is an offensive behavior when people write Chinese names in red ink.
黃色
在中國文化中，黃顏色是一種很重要的顏色，因?yàn)樗哂歇?dú)特的象征意義。在封建(feudal)社會(huì)中，它象征統(tǒng)治者的權(quán)力和權(quán)威。那時(shí)，黃色是專為皇帝使用的顏色，皇家宮殿全都漆成黃色，皇袍總是黃色的，而普通老百姓是禁止穿黃色衣服的。在中國，黃色也是收獲的象征。秋天莊稼成熟時(shí)，田野變得一片金黃。人們興高采烈，慶祝豐收。
參考范文：
The color of Yellow, because of its unique symbolic meaning, is very important in Chinese culture. In feudal society, it represents the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, the color was exclusively used for the emperor—the royal palace was painted yellow and the imperial robe was always yellow. However, the ordinary people were forbidden to wear clothes of the color yellow. In China, it also signifies harvest. The fields grow golden yellow in autumn when the crops mature. People celebrate the harvest cheerfully.
