You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.   在中国文化中,黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色,因为它具有独特的象征意义。在封建(feudal)社会中,它象征统治者的权力和权威。那时,黄色是专为皇帝使用的颜色,皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色,皇袍总是黄色的,而普通老百姓是禁止穿黄色衣服的。在中国,黄色也是收获的象征。秋天庄稼成熟时,田野变得一片金黄。人们兴高采烈,庆祝丰收。

参考答案:     In Chinese culture, yellow is an important color because of its unique symbolic meaning. In the feudal society, it symbolizes the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, yellow was specially designed for the emperor—the royal palace was painted yellow and the imperial robe was always yellow while the ordinary people were never allowed to wear yellow. In China, yellow also signifies harvest. When the crops mature in autumn, farmers celebrate the harvest cheerfully, with the field taking on a vast expanse of golden appearance.
