　　Paper cutting is one of Chinas most popular traditional folk arts. Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. During the Spring Festival and wedding celebrations, in particular, paper cuttings are used to decorate doors, windows and rooms in order to enhance the joyous atmosphere. The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity. Chinese paper cutting is very popular around the world and it is often given as a present to foreign friends.

　　难点精析

　　1.传统民间艺术形式：翻译为traditional folk art,其中folk意为民间的，民俗的，art既可以表示艺术这一抽象概念，也可以表示具体的艺术形式，所以直接翻译为art即可，不必加form词。

　　2.美化居家环境：美化即beautify，居家环境翻译成their homes即可，不要逐字生硬地翻译为home environment。

　　3.增加喜庆的气氛：翻译为enhance the joyous atmosphere。

　　4.象征健康和兴旺：翻译为which symbolizes health and prosperity,此处既可以用非限制性定语从句，也可以用分词形式symbolizing health and prosperity。
