第一篇

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

中国人使用筷子已经有3 000多年的历史了。中国的筷子夹菜的一端是圆的，象征着

天;另一端是方的，象征着地。这是因为，维持充足的食物供应是天地之间最重要的事情。

中国有个古老的风俗，女子出嫁时要用筷子当嫁妆，因为“筷子”与“快子”谐音。根据

中国的餐桌礼仪，吃饭时一直握着筷子是不礼貌的。将菜送入口中后，应立刻把筷子放下。

吃饭时，用筷子指着别人会对其造成冒犯。

参考译文

There has been a history of more than 3 000 years for the Chinese to have

meals with chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks are round on the eating end which

symbolizes the heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes the earth. It

is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between

the heaven and the earth. There is an old custom in the past in China, that

chopsticks should be a part of a girl’s dowry. Kuaizi (chopsticks) is pronounced the

same as “kuai zi”.The latter symbolized “quick” and “son”. According to the

Chinese traditional table manners, it is impolite to hold the chopsticks all the time

over the meal. As soon as one person sends a bite into his mouth, he should put

down the chopsticks. It would offend others to point at them with chopsticks over

the meal.

也是最有效的工具。早在周朝时期，筷子便被人们用来夹取荤、蔬菜，而米饭在那时则用

竹子、木材、漆器、玉石、象牙、塑料、吕、银、金等。特长的竹筷通常用于厨房中。中

国人使用筷子的方法很有艺术性，各人有各人的 方法，就好像签名一样，不尽一致。中国

人一般都能随心所欲的用筷子夹起一粒米饭，一粒豌豆，一只滑溜溜的蘑菇或海参。 使用

筷子时，要把一双筷子夹在大拇指和食指之间。要点是让其中的一根筷子保持不动，活动

另一根筷子，以便能像钳子一样夹取食物。

参考译文

For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the

simplest possible and the most efficient tool for transporting bite-sized morsels of

food form a bowl to the mouth. As early as in the Zhou Dynasty, chopsticks were

used for picking up meat and vegetables, while hands were used for rice.

Chopsticks, which are roughly uniform in size throughout China, can be made of a

variety of materials, including bamboo, wood, lacquer, jade, ivory, plastic,

aluminum, silver and gold. Special long bamboo chopsticks are generally used in

the kitchen. The way we Chinese handle our chopsticks is quite artistic and varied

from person to person like one’ s signature. An average Chinese can very easily

pick up a single tiny grain of rice, or a tiny piece of peas, or a slippery button

mushroom or sea cucumber. When using chopsticks, one should place both sticks

between the thumb and forefinger. The point is to keep one stick still and move

the other so as to make them wok like pincers.
