请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
脸谱(facial makeup)在中国戏曲中是一种特殊的艺术表现形式。它们淸楚地展示了不同角色的外表,还有他们的性情(disposition)和道德品质。脸谱也有助于表达对角色的褒贬。脸谱有不同的颜色,如红、黄、蓝、白、黑、紫、绿、金和银。脸谱的主色象征着人物的性情。例如,红色代表忠诚、勇气和正直,金色和银色通常用于神灵。脸谱可以辅助男女演员在表演中表达情感。

1.它们清楚地展示了不同角色的外表,还有他们的性情和道德品质:“清楚地” 可译为distinctly。“展示不同角色的外表”可译为show the appearances of different roles。“还有”在该句中等同于“也”,可以用as well as来表达。“性情” 和“道德品质”可以分别译为dispositions和moral traits。
2.脸谱也有助于表达对角色的褒贬:“有助于表达”可译为serve to express,在这里serve是“对...有用”的意思。“对角色的褒贬”可译为praise or condemnation toward the characters。
3.脸谱可以辅助男女演员在表演中表达情感:该句可译为一个复合句,可以理解为“在男女演员表演时,脸谱可以帮助他们表达情感”,即Facial makeups assist the actors and actresses in expressing theirfeelings when they act。其中“辅助”可译为assist。
