26-27中考英语 | 中国传统文化阅读| 春联

Spring Festival couplets, also known as "Spring Festival scrolls", "door couplets" or "antithetical couplets", are a unique literary form in China. 

春联，又称“春贴”“门对”“对联”，是中国特有的文学形式。

The origin of Spring Festival couplets can be traced back to ancient times. During the Zhou Dynasty, people had the custom of hanging peach-wood boards on both sides of the front door, with the names of two divine generals, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, written on them to ward off evil spirits and disasters. Later, with the emergence of paper and the development of culture, peach-wood boards were gradually replaced by paper, and the content on them changed from the simple names of divine generals to verses expressing good wishes, which was the embryonic form of Spring Festival couplets.

春联的由来可以追溯到古代。在周朝时期，人们就有在大门两侧悬挂桃木板的习俗，上面写着神荼、郁垒两位神将的名字，用于驱邪避灾。后来，随着纸张的出现和文化的发展，桃木板逐渐被纸张所替代，上面的内容也从简单的神将名字变成了表达美好愿望的诗句，这便是春联的雏形。

From ancient times to the present, Spring Festival couplets have undergone many changes. The content of ancient Spring Festival couplets was relatively traditional, mostly related to good fortune, happiness, longevity and well-being, such as "With the sound of firecrackers, the old year is gone; With the replacement of peach-wood charms, thousands of households welcome the new year". Moreover, great attention was paid to the writing of Spring Festival couplets. They were often written by famous calligraphers or men of letters, with beautiful fonts and a strong cultural flavor. As for modern Spring Festival couplets, their content is more diverse. Besides traditional auspicious words, they also incorporate elements of the times, such as praising the prosperity of the motherland and the progress of science and technology. 

从古至今，春联发生了许多变化。古代的春联内容比较传统，多与吉祥如意、福寿安康有关，像“爆竹一声除旧，桃符万户更新”。并且书写春联很讲究，往往是书法大家或文人墨客来书写，字体优美，带有浓厚的文化气息。而现代春联，内容更加丰富多样。除了传统的吉祥话，还融入了时代元素，如赞美祖国繁荣昌盛、科技进步等内容。

In terms of form, in addition to being handwritten, Spring Festival couplets are also available as exquisite printed products, with more diverse patterns and brighter colors.

在形式上，春联的制作除了手写，还有精美的印刷品，图案更加多样，色彩也更加鲜艳。

Spring Festival couplets have important significance. From a cultural perspective, they are an important carrier of traditional Chinese culture, carrying many elements such as poetry culture and calligraphy culture. Each pair of Spring Festival couplets is a cultural treasure, reflecting the Chinese people's ingenious use of words and their love for literature. Emotionally speaking, Spring Festival couplets express people's good expectations for the New Year. People write their wishes for the health of family members, a happy life, and a prosperous financial situation on Spring Festival couplets, hoping that the new year will be full of good luck as described in the couplets. Moreover, pasting Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival is also a traditional ceremony, which adds to the festive atmosphere of the festival. When the bright red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the front door, a strong flavor of the Spring Festival comes to the fore.

春联有着重要的意义。从文化角度看，它是中国传统文化的重要载体，承载着诗词文化、书法文化等诸多元素。每一副春联都是一个文化宝藏，体现了中国人对文字的精巧运用和对文学的热爱。从情感方面来说，春联表达了人们对新年的美好期待。人们把对家人健康、生活美满、财源广进等愿望写在春联上，希望新的一年能够如春联所写的那样充满好运。而且，春节期间张贴春联也是一种传统仪式，它增添了节日的喜庆氛围。当红红的春联贴在大门上，浓浓的年味也就扑面而来了。

Spring Festival couplets are like a cultural business card, showing the charm of the Chinese Spring Festival and the Chinese people's positive attitude towards life to the world.

春联就像一张文化名片，向世界展示着中国春节的魅力和中国人积极向上的生活态度。

【长难句】

1.原句：During the Zhou Dynasty, people had the custom of hanging peach-wood boards on both sides of the front door, with the names of two divine generals, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, written on them to ward off evil spirits and disasters.

译文：周朝时期，人们有在前门两侧悬挂桃木板的习俗，桃木板上写着神荼、郁垒两位神将的名字，用来辟邪消灾。

点拨：of hanging peach-wood boards是介词短语作后置定语，修饰custom，说明习俗的具体内容；with the names...written on them是with 的复合结构作伴随状语，补充说明桃木板的状态；to ward off...是不定式作目的状语，表示写神将名字的目的。

例句：During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people have the custom of placing mooncakes on the table, with the names of family members written on small cards to express their love.

译文：中秋节时，人们有把月饼放在桌上的习俗，小卡片上写着家人的名字，用来表达爱意。

2.原句：Later, with the emergence of paper and the development of culture, peach-wood boards were gradually replaced by paper, and the content on them changed from the simple names of divine generals to verses expressing good wishes, which was the embryonic form of Spring Festival couplets.

译文：后来，随着纸张的出现和文化的发展，桃木板逐渐被纸张取代，上面的内容也从简单的神将名字变成了表达美好祝愿的诗句，这就是春联的雏形。

点拨：with the emergence of...是with 的复合结构作原因状语，解释桃木板被取代的原因；句子包含由and连接的并列谓语结构（were replaced和changed）；which引导非限定性定语从句，指代前面整个句子描述的内容，说明这一变化的产物是春联雏形。

例句：Later, with the invention of the printing press and the spread of education, hand-copied books were gradually replaced by printed books, and the content in them changed from simple stories to various kinds of knowledge, which was an important step in the development of culture.

译文：后来，随着印刷机的发明和教育的普及，手抄书逐渐被印刷书取代，书中的内容也从简单的故事变成了各类知识，这是文化发展的重要一步。

3.原句：The content of ancient Spring Festival couplets was relatively traditional, mostly related to good fortune, happiness, longevity and well-being, such as "With the sound of firecrackers, the old year is gone; With the replacement of peach-wood charms, thousands of households welcome the new year".

译文：古代春联的内容相对传统，大多和福气、幸福、长寿与安康有关，比如“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”。

点拨：mostly related to...是过去分词短语作伴随状语，补充说明古代春联内容的特点；such as引导列举状语，用来具体举例说明春联的内容，直接引用诗句是举例的特殊形式。

例句：The content of ancient folk songs was relatively simple, mostly related to farming and daily life, such as "Sowing seeds in spring, harvesting in autumn, we live a peaceful life".

译文：古代民歌的内容相对简单，大多和农耕与日常生活有关，比如“春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子，我们过着安稳的生活”。

4.原句：Moreover, great attention was paid to the writing of Spring Festival couplets. They were often written by famous calligraphers or men of letters, with beautiful fonts and a strong cultural flavor.

译文：此外，春联的书写也十分受重视。它们常由著名的书法家或文人来书写，字体优美，文化气息浓厚。

点拨：第一句是被动语态结构，great attention was paid to表示 “某事被重视”，被动语态是中考的核心语法考点；第二句中的with beautiful fonts and a strong cultural flavor是with 的复合结构作伴随状语，补充说明春联的特点。

例句：Moreover, great attention was paid to the making of the class newspaper. It was often made by the top students in the class, with beautiful layouts and a rich campus flavor.

译文：此外，班级报纸的制作也十分受重视。它常由班里的优等生制作，排版美观，校园气息浓厚。

5.原句：From a cultural perspective, they are an important carrier of traditional Chinese culture, carrying many elements such as poetry culture and calligraphy culture.

译文：从文化角度来看，春联是中国传统文化的重要载体，承载着诗歌文化、书法文化等诸多元素。

点拨：From a cultural perspective是介词短语作状语，用来表明分析的角度；carrying many elements...是现在分词短语作伴随状语，补充说明载体的作用；such as引导列举状语，说明具体的文化元素。

例句：From an educational perspective, reading is an important way to improve abilities, bringing many benefits such as broadening horizons and enriching knowledge.

6.原句：When the bright red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the front door, a strong flavor of the Spring Festival comes to the fore.

译文：当鲜红的春联被贴在前门上时，浓浓的年味就扑面而来。

点拨：When引导时间状语从句，且从句使用了被动语态（are pasted），时间状语从句和被动语态都是中考的常考考点；comes to the fore是固定短语，表示 “变得突出；显现出来”。

例句：When the colorful lanterns are hung on the street, a strong flavor of the Lantern Festival comes to the fore.

译文：当五彩的灯笼被挂在街上时，浓浓的元宵节氛围就扑面而来。
