2017年12月英语六级翻译练习题（一）
春节是中国最重要的节日，也是大家所熟悉的中国新年。对于中国人来说，这个节日的重要性如同圣诞节对于西方人。 具体的节庆日期是由农历(lunar calendar)而不是由公历(Gregorian calendar)决定的。所以，春节的节庆日期一般在元月下旬与二月上旬之间。新年的准备活动自腊月底(农历年底)开始，人们忙于扫尘，还清债务，理发，置新衣。人们也会在家中或到庙里烧香(burn incense)祭祖，祈求老天爷保佑平安。
译文：The most important holiday in China is the Spring Festival, which is also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to the westerners. The date for this annual celebration is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies form late January to early February. Preparations for the New Year begin on the final days of the last lunar month when most families clean their homes, pay their debts, have their hair cut and buy new clothes. People also burn incense at home or in the temples to pay respect to their ancestors and to pray to the God for a happy life in the coming year.
