30天輕松搞定中考英語1600詞（9）(2)

　　【漢語翻譯】

　　花語寄情(2)

　　這些籃子里包括(include)許多種禮物(many kinds of gifts)：花、石頭(stone)、蠟燭(candle)等。每樣東西都有特殊的含義(special meaning)。籃子接收者想出(work out)每件物品所暗藏(hide)的信息(message)，然后就開始漸漸地(little by little)理解(understand)贈送者的真實感情(true feelings)。?

　　十七. Say It with Flowers (3)

　　The idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to other countries. However, as time passed, only sending flowers remained popular.

　　Flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the heart of young men. Each different flower had a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant,“you are beautiful and pure(純潔).”Pink carnations (康乃馨) meant,“My love for you is great.”Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant,“I saw you with someone else.”

　　Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. However, not all of the dictionaries agreed on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send.

　　By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had become unpopular, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.

　　【漢翻譯】

　　花語寄情(3)

　　這種贈送禮物傳遞秘密信息的示愛方式迅速傳(spread)到其他國家(country)，但是，隨著時間的流逝，只有送花的傳統保持(remain)了下來。

　　花把男士心(heart)中的感情傳遞給女士。每種花都有不同的含義。例如(for example)，桔(orange)樹上開的花表示，“你美麗又純潔”。粉紅色(pink)的康乃馨表示，“我對你的愛是熱烈的”。另一方面(on the other hand)，黃玫瑰(yellow rose)則意味著“我看見你和別人在一起”。

　　為了幫助戀愛中的年輕人理解他們收到的花所代表的含義，人們編制出很多關于花的詞典(dictionary)。但是，對于每一種花的含義，不是所有的詞典都能達成一致(agree on)。因此，人們在送花時必須謹慎選擇(choose)。

　　到了19世紀80年代，花語寄情已經不流行，寫信成為更直接的(direct)示愛方式。如今(today)，花仍被認為(consider)是一種可愛的禮物，但以前每一種花的特定含義已經沒有了。

　　十八. Learning by Doing and Going

　　Many of my classmates think they are  forced to go to school. They say they are only interested in playing. But I love going to school, and my favorite subject is science. I like science because the experiments and field trips are exciting.

　　In science we do many exciting experiments in the lab. One time we made crystal form(晶形) in a bottle by using salt in water. Another time we watched how baby chicks are hatched(孵出).
