2019年catti二级笔译模拟试题：韩国的象征

　　韩国的象征

　　传统韩国服饰是韩国的象征之一。女式韩服为长裙和形似茄克的开襟短上衣。男式韩服则是短褂配长裤。男女式韩服外均可套上款式相似的长外套。现代人们大多在节日、婚礼或葬礼等场合才穿传统的韩服。

　　泡菜是韩国最知名的食品之一。韩国人几乎每餐必吃泡菜。几天没吃就想吃了。1988 年汉城( 首尔) 夏季奥运会时, 成千上万的外国游客第一次品尝了韩国泡菜尽管韩国泡菜以辛辣著称, 但人们还是喜欢上了它, 许多外国游客回国仍念念不忘。

　　在韩国, 婚姻不仅仅代表男女两个人, 更是两个家庭的结合。因此, 婚礼常被称为“ 大礼”, 亲戚朋友都从各地赶来参加。受传统儒家观念的影响, 婚庆和相关的仪式又耗时又讲究, 包括从结婚到婚庆后要行的礼节。职业媒人介绍合适的双方结成夫妻, 夫妻二人常常在婚礼上才见第一面。男女双方家庭在做婚姻决定时要考虑很多因素, 还与算命人一同讨论, 预测夫妻俩未来的共同生活。新郎通常要先到新娘家举行婚礼, 三天后才能把新娘子带回自己家。婚礼大典由很多小的仪式构成, 要多次叩头, 做象征性的姿势。参加婚礼的人要收敛情绪, 保持严肃。现代韩国婚礼尽管保留了传统婚礼的一些特点, 但大多更像西方婚礼。不过, 民俗村和各地的博物馆定期示范传统婚礼, 以延续这一传统。

　　面具和面具舞蹈也是韩国的象征。韩国传统的面具由纸、木、葫芦和毛皮制成, 主要体现韩国人的面部表情和骨骼构造, 有的也代表神或动物。面具舞剧通常是夜晚在篝火旁表演 , 因此面具大多奇形怪状, 极尽夸张。面具舞剧实际上是韩国的一种民间艺术, 是德藏时代在平民百姓中自发形成的。多数情况下, 表演临近尾声时, 观众和演员一起跳起热情奔放的舞蹈。
