如果有公用的筷子就用公共的筷子来分开食物。
如果没有，或是不确定有没有，你可以先等一等，看其他人是怎么做的，然后效仿就行。
有时候热心的中国主人会帮你将食物分到你的碗里，这很正常。

2.第二句中，“如果有公用的筷子”可以译为there be句型，但用“筷子”作主语，采用被动语态结构更恰当，可译为if they are supplied。

三、传统事物筷子：中国人使用筷子已经有3 000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。

There has been a history of more than 3 000 years for the Chinese to have meals with chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes the heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes the earth. It is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between the heaven and the earth. There is an old custom in the past in China, that chopsticks should be a part of a girl’s dowry. Kuaizi (chopsticks) is pronounced the same as “kuai zi”.The latter symbolized “quick”and “son”. According to the Chinese traditional table manners, it is impolite to hold the chopsticks all the time over the meal. As soon as one person sends a bite into his mouth, he should put down the chopsticks. It would offend others to point at them with chopsticks over the meal.文房四宝：在中国，笔、墨、纸、砚（ink slab），就是人们所说的“文房四宝”，在中华文明的传承中起了重要作用。

英语四级翻译模拟题附答案和讲解 第17期-中国结
英语四级翻译模拟题附答案和讲解第17期:中国结中国结(Chinese knot)是中国文化的典型代表之一。
中国结源于古代，当时人们用系结的方式来记事,在唐宋时期(the Tang and Song Dynasties)逐渐发展成为一种饰品，并在明清时期(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)开始盛行至今。
中国结象征着团结、友谊、和平、热情和爱情等。
制作中国结的材料多种多样，如棉线、丝编、尼龙(nylon)、皮革，甚至是一些贵重金属。
如今,中国结在世界各地广受欢迎。
1.第1句中的“典型代表之一”可用one of the typical symbols来表达。
2.第2句的主语与第1句一样，都是Chinese knot，故用代词it表达以避免重复。
此句是由“源于”、“发展”、“盛行”三个谓语组成的并列句，句子较长，翻译时可考虑将其拆译为两个句子。
“当时人们用系结的方式来记事”拆分了汉语句中的三个连贯动作，可把它处理成when引导的状语从句,译为when to keep records。
keep records本身就已含“记事”之义，故采用英汉翻译中的“减词”译法，不再把“事”(things)译出来。
3.第2句中的“逐渐发展成为一种饰品，并在明清时期开始盛行至今”说明了中国结发展的不同阶段，在结构上属于汉语中典型的“叙事多用并列结构”的特点。
翻译类似的汉语结构多采用“同一主语，并列谓语”的英语结构，故将developed和prevailed处理成并列谓语。
4.倒数第2句中的“制作中国结的材料”的中心词为“材料”，定语“制作中国结的材料”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用分词短语used to make the knots来表达。
Chinese knot is one of the typical symbols of Chinese culture. It appeared in ancient times when people tied knots to keep records. It developed gradually as a type of decoration during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and prevailed from the Ming and Qing Dynasties up to now. Chinese knot means reunion, friendship, peace, warmth, and love, etc. Materials used to make the knots are various, such as cotton, silk, nylon, leather and even precious metals. Today, Chinese knot is popular in many parts of the world.。
