难点注释

1.第一句中,“民间传统工艺”在这里就是指“灯笼”,可以处理为同位语。

2.第二句中,“在民间”这里主要指“人”,译作 among the people 比较合适。

3.第三句中,“灯笼在中国悠久的历史中发

挥着巨大而不可替代的作用,它象征着灿烂的中国文化”在翻译时

后两个分句应该使用不同的时态,前一个分句用一般过去时,第二个分句则应该使用一般现在时

4.第四句中的“做出了巨大的贡献”译为 made great contributions to…o

5.在最后一句中,“通过……”译为 by means of…更贴切。

1. In the first sentence, “traditional folk craft” here refers to “lantern”, which can be dealt with as the same language.

2. In the second sentence, “in the people” mainly refers to “people”, which is more appropriate for among the people.

3. In the third sentence, “the lantern plays a huge and irreplaceable role in the long history of China, which symbolizes the splendid Chinese culture” is translated

The last two clauses should use different tenses with simple past tense and simple present tense for the second with simple present tense

4. The fourth sentence, “made a great contribution” is translated as made great contributions to…o

5.

In the last sentence, “By…” is better translated as by means of….
