TranslationPractice 1在中国，小孩儿的满月酒（One-Month-Old-Feast）和抓周（One-Year-Old-Catch）仪式独具特色。小孩儿出生满一个月的那天，孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋挚友，邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。小孩儿满周岁的那天，有抓周的仪式。按照中国的传统，父母及他人不给予任何的引导或暗示，人孩子随意挑选，看他先抓什么，后抓什么，并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将来从事的职业以及前途。Practice 1参考译文： In China, One-Month-Old-Feast and One-Year-Old-Catch of a baby are of unique Chinese characteristics. On the day when a baby is a month old, the family of the baby will invite their friends and relatives to a ceremony to celebrate the occasion. On the day when a baby is one year old, there is a ceremony of One-Year-Old-Catch. According to Chinese traditional custom, nobody will give any instruction or cue to the baby so that it is left free to choose by itself. Watching the baby catch the articles it likes, the family can then make predictions about its potential interest, future career and development.难点注释：第一句中的“独具特色”，用be of + sth , 表示“有……”。第二句较长。“小孩儿……的那天”为时间状语，“孩子的家人”为主语，“招呼，邀请”为并列的谓语。因为“招呼”和“邀请”都可以用invite 就可以了。邀请某人做某事用invite sb to do sth。“按照中国的传统”，“按照”可以用according to, “中国的传统”可以译为Chinese traditionalcustom。Practice 2剪纸是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史，在明清时期特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间，剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间，以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸最常用的颜色是红色，象征着健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎，经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。Practice 2参考译文：Paper cutting is one of China’most popular folk arts.Chinese paper cutting has a long history of more than 1500 years.
