参考翻译:

　　Traditional Chinese wedding is the essence ofChinese culture. Chinese ancestors believed thatdusk was the luckiest time in a day, so they held thewedding at dusk. Chinese are fond of red color andregard red as the symbol of happiness, success,luck, loyalty and prosperity. Therefore, in traditional Chinese weddings, the main color isred. There are red candles, red ribbons, red flowers as well as the red dress and shoes worn bythe bride. The food the bride eats has cultural significance. The bride usually has red dates,peanuts, longans and melon seeds, the symbolic meaning of which is evident in the Chinesepronunciation of these four foods. When pronounced together, it sounds like "zao sheng guizi (Have a lovely baby soon)".

　　1.“吉利的”是汉语的表达，英文中对应的表达应该是“幸运的，好运的”。因此“最吉利的时间”可译为the luckiesttime，也可译作 auspicious time。

　　2.“新娘的红衣和红鞋”如果逐字对译为the bride's reddress and shoes则显得有些生硬，此处宜译作the reddress and shoes worn by the bride，使用过去分词作定语，句子读起来更顺畅。

　　3.“新娘一般会吃…”，这个句子较长，为了让句子更加紧凑，后半句“其中的象征意义可以从这四种食物的读音中看出”在翻译时可以使用非限制性定语从句：the symbolic meaning of which is evident in theChinese pronunciation of these four foods。

　　4.“当这四种食物放在一起读时”译成英文时主句和从句主语一致，可使用“when+分词”结构，译作whenpronounced together。
