　　英语四级翻译练习题：白色
        　　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。
        　　参考译文：
        　　With China’s reform and opening up, many young people tend to hold
Western-style weddings these days. The bride wears a white wedding dress at the
wedding, because white is considered as a symbol of purity. However, in
traditional Chinese culture, white is often used in funerals, so be sure to
remember that white flowers must not be used as a gift to the patient,
especially not to the seniors or patients in critical conditions. Similarly, the
cash gift cannot be packed in a white envelope, but in a red envelope.
