2023年12月英語四級翻譯預測：種花賞花

2023年12月英語四級考試將在12月16日上午舉行，大家準備的如何？今天@本站英語四六級微信公衆號爲大家帶來2023年12月英語四級翻譯預測：種花賞花，希望對你有所幫助。

種花和賞花是中國人日常的消遣。在詩人和畫家的筆下，花兒更是多姿多彩。一年四季中，有許多種花兒先後開放。中國人最愛的花兒，有牡丹、荷花、菊花、梅花。春天是牡丹盛開的時節。夏天荷花盛開，它雖然從污泥中生長出來，卻是純潔芳香，很像高尚的君子。秋風吹起，樹上的葉子落了，只有菊花不怕風霜，傲然開放。在冰天雪地的冬天，沒有一點兒生氣，梅花仍然在風雪中盛開。梅花最能代表中國人不屈不撓的精神。

參考譯文

Planting and admiring flowers are a daily-life recreation of Chinese people. Flowers are diversely beautiful in the works of poets and painters. Many kinds of flowers appear in successive bloom through the seasons. Some othe favorite flowers in China are peonies, lotuses, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms. Spring is the ideal time for peonies. In summer, lotuses are in full bloom, pure and fragrant like noble gentlemen, though they emerge from the dirty mud. When the autumn wind blows off the leaves, the chrysanthemums blossom against wind and frost. In the lifeless winter world of ice and snow, plum blossoms are in full bloom against wind and snow. The Chinese consider plum blossoms to be representative of their own enduring spirit.
