年糕
年糕(Chinese New Year Cake)是中國人的傳統食品，距今已有兩千年的歷史。早期被用來祭奠灶神(the KitchenGod)，其后漸漸成為一種春節特色食品。年糕主要是用糯米粉(glutinous rice flour)制作而成，有黃、白兩色，象征金、銀。在漢語中，“粘”與“年”同音，而“糕”與“高”同音，所以年糕寓意人們的生活水平一年比一年提高。年糕營養豐富，不但吃起來香甜可口，而且還有健身祛病的作用。中國地域廣、各地的風俗習慣不同，因而年糕的種類也多種多樣。

2.第二句應增譯主語“年糕”，為避免重復，故翻譯為it;“被用來”和“漸漸成為”作it的并列謂語，第—個謂語動詞要使用被動語態。
3.第三句“年糕主要是…”中，“象征金、銀”是對年糕顏色的進一步說明，可處理為現在分詞短語symbolizing gold and silver。
4.第四句“在漢語中…”較長，句中“所以”提示，可用連接詞so承接前后分句，注意so引導的分句中“人們的生活水平…提高”要使用被動語態。
5.倒數第二句的主語是“年糕”，后跟三個謂語。可將“營養豐富”處理為現在分詞短語containing lots ofnutrients在句中作狀語;“不但…而且…”連接兩個并列謂語可套用not only...but also...句式來表達。
