问答题 1.  “春联(The Spring Couplet)”也被称为“对联(couplet)”,在中国是一种特殊的文学形式。春联是由贴在门口两侧两组对立的句子(antithetical sentences)组成。在门上面的横批(horizontal scroll bearing an inscription)通常是一个吉祥的短语。贴在门右侧的句子被称作对联的上联(the first line of the couplet),左侧的为下联。除夕那天,每家都会在门上贴上红纸写的春联,传递出节日喜庆和热闹的(hilarious)气氛。在过去,中国人通常用毛笔自己写春联或者请别人写春联,而现在,人们普遍在市场上买印刷好的春联。
【正确答案】"The Spring Couplet", also called "couplet", is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door. Above the gate is a horizontal scroll beating an inscription, usually an auspicious phrase. The sentence pasting on the fight side of the door is called the first line of the couplet, and the left one is the second line. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will paste on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and hilarious atmosphere of the Festival. In the past, the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do it for them, while nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market.
