由於英漢兩種語言表達方式的不同，在進行翻譯時，有時不能拘泥於詞語的字面意思，生搬硬套或單求英漢句型上的對等，需要做些變通。以下是yjbys網小編整理的關於英語六級翻譯練習題，供大家練習。
篇一：傳統婚禮
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：
傳統的中國婚俗被視爲中國傳統文化禮儀的基礎。通常，婚禮是隆重場合，有很多的禮節。婚禮有八大程序，包括求婚、生辰匹配、合婚(marriage divination)，下聘禮(betrothal gifts presenting)、確定婚期、置辦嫁妝(dowry urging)、迎娶新娘、舉行正式的`結婚儀式。在中國傳統的婚禮中，新娘由新郎牽着。她頭頂紅蓋頭，全程都垂在肩上。傳統的中國婚俗已經實行了幾千年。它們可能會因時間和地點而異，但在中國人的生活中一直佔據着重要地位，對中國人的生活方式產生着深遠的影響。
參考譯文：

春聯(Spring Festival couplets)，是中國特有的一種文學形式，有着悠久的歷史。春聯上的文字簡潔、精巧，象徵着人們對未來的巨大期盼，表達人們對新年的美好願望。貼春聯是春節的一大傳統習俗，也是中國人歡度新年春節的重要方式。每逢春節，無論在城市還是農村，家家戶戶都要精心挑選一副大紅春聯貼在門上爲節日增加喜慶(festive)氣氛。各家各戶會根據自家的情況選擇不同內容的春聯，比如商人的家庭會張貼與發財有關的春聯，農民家庭則選擇表達豐收願望的春聯。
參考翻譯：

1.第一句中的“有着悠久的歷史”通常可以譯爲with a longhistory作後置定語。再將其他部分譯爲主句，使句子更加緊湊。
2.第二句中的“用來描繪時代背景，表達新年人們的美好願望”，可使用which引導的非限制性定語從句來表達，補充說明主語“春聯上的文字(the text of couplets)”。
3.第三句中的“貼春聯是春節的一大傳統習俗”可採用“as+名詞短語”的結構來表達，譯作as a traditional custom during the Spring Festival，置於句首。“也是中國人歡度春節的重要方式”則作爲主句來翻譯。
4.最後一句較長，爲了避免出錯，可拆譯爲兩個句子。前一句說明各家各戶會選擇不同內容的春聯，後一句進行舉例。
