2019年12月英语四级翻译真题及答案：家庭观念（卷一）

中国的家庭观念与其文化传统有关。和睦的大家庭曾非常令人羡慕。过去四代同堂并不少见。由于这个传统，许多年轻人婚后继续与父母同住。今天，这个传统正在改变。随着住房条件的改善，越来越多年轻夫妇选择与父母分开住。但他们之间的联系依然很密切。许多老年人仍然帮着照看孙辈，年轻夫妇也抽时间探望父母，特别是在春节和中秋等重要节日。 

Chinese family values are related to their cultural traditions. A big harmonious family (harmonious extendedfamily) was very enviable. In the past, four generations living under one roof were not uncommon. Because of this tradition, many young people decided to live with their parents when they were married. However, this tradition is changing today. An increasing number of young couples choose to live separately from their parents as the result of better housing conditions, but their connectionsare still very close. Many senior people still help to look after their grandchildren, and young couples try their best to find time to visit their parents, especially during important festivals like the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
