2023年3月英语六级翻译预测:元宵节

自汉朝起,元宵节就已成为了中国新年庆祝活动中的一部分了。一般农历的正月十五为元宵节,这一天也标志着新年庆祝活动的结束。与大多数中国节日一样,元宵节同样有自己的特色小吃,称为“汤圆”。汤圆外形圆圆的,外皮由糯米制成,内馅或甜或辣。人们都说汤圆有两个象征之意,一为农历的第一个月圆,二为家庭团聚圆满。

参考译文:

The Lantern Festival has been part of Chinese New Year celebrations since the Han Dynasty. Usually held on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it marks the end of New Year festivities. Like most Chinese festivals, the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called "tang yuan". These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings. The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family unity and completeness.
