　　難點精析
　　1.傳統民間藝術形式：翻譯為traditional folk art,其中folk意為“民間的，民俗的”，art既可以表示“藝術”這一抽象概念，也可以表示具體的“藝術形式”，所以直接翻譯為art即可，不必加form—詞。
　　2.美化居家環境：“美化”即beautify，“居家環境”翻譯成their homes即可，不要逐字生硬地翻譯為home environment。
　　3.增加喜慶的氣氛：翻譯為enhance the joyous atmosphere。
　　4.象征健康和興旺：翻譯為which symbolizes health and prosperity,此處既可以用非限制性定語從句，也可以用分詞形式symbolizing health and prosperity。
