2014年6月英語四級翻譯練習(xí)：壓歲錢

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的高速發(fā)展，帶來了消費文化的曰益流行，同時也催生了一批具有高學(xué)歷，充分享受資本主義消費模式的年輕人，他們習(xí)慣于當(dāng)月工資當(dāng)月花。因而被稱為“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一詞出現(xiàn)于20世紀(jì)90年代后期，是用來諷刺那 些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年輕人。

　　參考答案:

　　Lucky Money

　　It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift. The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off monsters; hence the name "lucky money". Parents and grandparents first put money in small, especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year's Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year. They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color. They want to give their children both lucky money and lucky color.
