参考译文:
Depending on the family habits,birthdays can be celebrated in a variety of ways. Most Chinese these days celebrate the birthday on the Western calendar, but some,especially the older generation,still mark their birthdays based on the lunar calendar.The grandest birthday celebration is in the sixtieth year. It is not uncommon at this celebration to give symbols of longevity,like miniature old trees showing the strength built over the passage of time. After this special celebration,a birthday celebration is held every ten years. It is the grown children of the elderly who celebrate their parents'birthdays to show deep respect and gratitude for them.
1.根据家庭习惯不同,生日可以有多种庆祝方式:“根据”可译为depend on或according to。“有多种方式”可译为 in a variety of ways,其中 a variety of 意为 “很多,各种各样”。
2.在这次特别的庆祝之后,每十年会再庆祝一次生日:“每十年”可译为every ten years。“every+时间段”表示频率,这是英语中常见的表达方式。如:every two days (每两天)。
3.老人的成年子女通过为父母过寿来表达对他们深深的敬意和感激:“表达对他们深深的敬意和感激”可译为show deep respect and gratitude for them。“表达”可用show或express。“为父母过寿”是个具有中国特色的表达,实际就是 “过生日”的另外一种说法,故可译为celebrate their parents'birthdays。
