2019年12月英語四級真題及答案（卷二）：翻譯部分：

中國漢族人的全名由姓和名組成。中文姓名的特點是,姓總是在前,名跟在其后,千百年來,父姓一直世代相傳。然而,如今,孩子跟母親姓并不罕見。一般來說,名有一個或兩個漢字通常承載父母對孩子的愿望。從孩子的名字可以推斷出父母希望孩子成為什么樣的人,或者

預期他們過什么樣的生活。父母非常重視給孩子取名,因為名字往往會伴隨孩子一生。

譯文參考：

The full name of Chinas Han ethnic group(people) is composed of family name( surname)and

given name. One characteristic of the Chinese name is that the family name is always put before

the given name. For thousands of years, the paternal surname( the father's family name) has been

passed down through generations. However, it is not uncommon now for a child to have the maternal surname(the mother's family name). Generally speaking, a given name contains one or

two Chinese characters, which carries the parents' hope for the kid. Therefore, it's easy to infer

from the name what kind of person the parents expect their child to be, or what kind of life to lead

Parents attach great importance to naming their kid as it will be his or her lifelong company
