2023年12月英语四级翻译预测：种花赏花

种花和赏花是中国人日常的消遣。在诗人和画家的笔下，花儿更是多姿多彩。一年四季中，有许多种花儿先后开放。中国人最爱的花儿，有牡丹、荷花、菊花、梅花。春天是牡丹盛开的时节。夏天荷花盛开，它虽然从污泥中生长出来，却是纯洁芳香，很像高尚的君子。秋风吹起，树上的叶子落了，只有菊花不怕风霜，傲然开放。在冰天雪地的冬天，没有一点儿生气，梅花仍然在风雪中盛开。梅花最能代表中国人不屈不挠的精神。

参考译文

Planting and Admiring Flowers

Planting and admiring flowers are a daily-life recreation of Chinese people. Flowers are diversely beautiful in the works of poets and painters. Many kinds of flowers appear in successive bloom through the seasons. Some othe favorite flowers in China are peonies, lotuses, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms. Spring is the ideal time for peonies. In summer, lotuses are in full bloom, pure and fragrant like noble gentlemen, though they emerge from the dirty mud. When the autumn wind blows off the leaves, the chrysanthemums blossom against wind and frost. In the lifeless winter world of ice and snow, plum blossoms are in full bloom against wind and snow. The Chinese consider plum blossoms to be representative of their own enduring spirit.
