　　英语四级翻译练习题：中国人的姓名
        　　中国人的姓名通常姓(family
name)在前，名(givenname)在后。中国有10多亿个名字，所以人们即便在随意场合也可能会连名带姓地介绍自己，这是很寻常的。历史上，人名的受欢迎稈度会随着时事而变化。例如，文化大革命(Cultural
Rcvolution)期间，“红”颇受欢迎，因其代表“革命”。20世纪80年代改革开放时期，“致富”成为一个名字，因其意为“变得富有”。
        　　汉译英：
        　　In China the family name is usually in front of thegiven name. It isn't
unusual for a man to introducehimself by his family name with given name even
incasual situationsbecause there are more than abillion given names. The Chinese
given name has ahistory of changing with popularity depending on what events
were going on. For instance,during the Cultural Revolution Hong (the color red)
was very popular as it presentsrevolution. During the reform and opening up in
the 1980s, Zhifu became one given name asit means “getting rich”.
