People in south China plant and live on rice, while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread, while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour.中国人使用筷子已经有3000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。 (2014英语四六级)翻译词汇：筷子chopsticks维持maintain充足的adequate嫁妆dowry谐音bepronouncedthesameas 餐桌礼仪tablemanners不礼貌的impolite冒犯offendTherehasbeenahistoryofmorethan3000yearsfortheChinesetohavemealswithchopsticks.Chinesechopsticksareroundontheeatingendwhichsymbolizestheheaven,andtheotherendissquarewhichsymbolizestheearth.Itisbecausemaintaininganadequatefoodsupplyisthegreatestconcernbetweentheheavenandtheearth.ThereisanoldcustominthepastinChina,thatchopsticksshouldbeapartofagirlsdowry.Kuaizi(chopsticks)ispronouncedthesameas“kuaizi”.Thelattersymbolized“quick”and“son”.AccordingtotheChinesetraditionaltablemanners,itisimpolitetoholdthechopsticksallthetimeoverthemeal.Assoonasonepersonsendsabiteintohismouth,heshouldputdownthechopsticks.Itwouldoffendotherstopointatthemwithchopsticksoverthemeal.故宫，又名紫禁城，为明清共二十四位皇帝统治中国近500年的皇宫。它位于北京市中心，在天安门广场的北侧，形状为长方形。南北长960米，东西宽750米，占地72公顷，总建筑面积达15万平方米。故宫是世界上现存规模最大、最完整的古代木构宫殿。它分为外朝和内廷两部分，外朝是皇帝上朝处理国家大事的地方，内廷是皇帝和皇室的居住地。1987年，故宫被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产。 (2014英语四六级)翻译词汇：故宫theImperialPalace紫禁城theForbiddenCity天安门广场TiananmenSquare长方形rectangular建筑面积floorspace现存inexistence上朝giveaudience处理handle世界文化遗产WorldCulturalHeritageChinaliesintheeastofAsiaandithasthelargestpopulationintheworld.Chinaisalsooneofthefourcountriesintheworldthathaveanancientcivilization,Besides,ithasavastterritorywithsuchabundantnaturalresourcesasdenseforests,magnificentwaterfalls,majesticandbeautifulriversandlakes,andmountainswhosepeaksreachhighintotheskylikeswords.AllthesemakeChinaasingularlyattractiveplacetotouristsaroundtheworld.But,mostimportantly,Chinaboastsahistoryofoverfivethousandyearswithinnumerablehistoricalrelicsleftoverfromthelongpast,suchaspricelesspearlsandjewels,historicsitesandscenicspots,palacesandedificesofarchitecturalrichness,allofwhichhavewonpeoplesadmiration.YouaresuretofindgreatenjoymentfromalltheseattractionsinChina,amuch-admireddreamland.天津市古文化街于1986年元旦建成开业，全长687米，为模仿清民间建筑风格。它坐落在南开区海河西岸，是一条商业步行街，值得一看。再者，古文化街是天津市的发祥地，也是天津最早的文化、宗教和商业中心。天后宫(即著名的妈祖庙)就在这条街的中心。这条街上出售古玩、古旧书籍、传统手工艺制品和民俗用品。天津的民间艺术品杨柳青年画、泥人张彩塑、风筝魏风筝、刘氏砖刻在此也都设有专店。这里还有风味小吃，如茶汤、锅巴菜、耳朵眼炸糕。 (2014英语四六级)翻译词汇：古文化街theAncientCultureStreet模仿imitate商业步行街commercialpedestrianstreet天津市的发祥地theCradleofTianjin天后宫TianhouTemple妈祖庙MazuTemple古玩antique手工艺制品handicraft民俗用品folkproduct杨柳青年画YangliuqingNewYearpainting泥人张彩塑NirenZhangsColour-ClayFigurine刘氏砖刻LiuCarving风味小吃snack茶汤ChatangSoup锅巴菜Guobacai耳朵眼炸糕EarholeFriedCakeOpenedonNewYearDayin1986,theAncientCultureStreetinTianjincityis687meterslong,withitsarchitectureimitatingthefolkstyleoftheQingDynasty.LocatedonthewestbankofHaiheRiverinNankaiDistrict,itisacommercialpedestrianstreetwhichisworthvisiting.Furthermore,thisstreetisknownastheCradleofTianjin,andisthefirstcultural,religiousandbusinesscentreofthecity.InitscentreisthefamousTianhou(HeavenlyQueen)Temple,morepopularlyknownasMazu.Antiques,ancientbooks,traditionalhandicraftsandfolkproductsaresoldhere.Additionally,thetraditionalfolk-artYangliuqingNewYearpaintings,NirenZhangsColour-ClayFigurines,WeiKitesandLiuCarvingsallhavetheirshopsthere.TherearealsolocalsnackssuchasChatangSoup,Guobacai,EarholeFriedCake,etc.端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinousdumplings)和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 (2014英语四六级)TheDuanwuFestival,alsocalledtheDragonBoatFestival,istocommemoratethepatrioticpoetQuYuan.QuYuanwasaloyalandhighlyesteemedminister,whobroughtpeaceandprosperitytothestatebutendedupdrowninghimselfinariverasaresultofbeingvilified.Peoplegottothespotbyboatandcastglutinousdumplingsintothewater,hopingthatthefishesatethedumplingsinsteadofQuYuansbody.Forthousandsofyears,thefestivalhasbeenmarkedbyglutinousdumplingsanddragonboatraces,especiallyinthesouthernprovinceswheretherearemanyriversandlakes.大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。因其数量极少，大熊猫已被列为濒危物种。大熊猫对于世界自然基金会有着特殊意义。自1961年该基金会成立以来，大熊猫就一直是它的徽标。大熊猫是熊科中最稀有的成员，主要生活在中国西南部的森林里。目前，世界上大约有1000只大熊猫。这些以竹为食的动物正面临许多威胁。因此，确保大熊猫的生存比以往更重要。 (2014英语四六级)Giantpandaisadocileanimalinuniqueblackandwhitefur.Becauseitsnumberisextremelylow,ithasbeenwrittenintothelistofendangeredanimals.ThesignificanceofpandastoWWFisspecial.Aniconofapandah
