从近几年的英语四级翻译真题中我们发现，英语四级翻译目前考察的方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面，日常复习中我们也应储备一些常考话题材料。下面新东方网英语四级频道为大家整理了英语四级翻译练习题系列，希望对大家的备考有帮助。

　　四级翻译练习：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.
