2018年大學(xué)英語四級考試翻譯試題：中國結(jié)

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　中國結(jié)：中國結(jié)是一種古老的藝術(shù)形式。人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，繩結(jié)可以追朔到10萬年前。中國人不僅用繩結(jié)來固定、包裹、狩獵、捕魚，還用來記錄事件，而且有些繩結(jié)純粹起裝飾作用。中國結(jié)具有文化內(nèi)涵。由于結(jié)在漢語中的發(fā)音與“吉”相近。吉的意思是“福、祿、壽、喜、財、安、康”，這是中國人永恒的追求，因此有些中國結(jié)表達(dá)出人們的各種愿望。例如：新婚夫婦的房間通常用一個盤長結(jié)來裝飾，象征著永恒的愛情。
