2.第3句中的“象征著孩子能幸運(yùn)一生”可處理成非限制性定語從句which symbolizes/indicates that thebaby will be lucky for the whole life，或處理成分詞短語symbolizing/indicating the baby's beinglucky for the whole life，作句中的伴隨狀語。

　　3.第4句中的定語“孩子周歲那天的”可處理為后置的介詞短語on the first birthday of the baby，修飾中心詞“抓周儀式”。

　　4.倒數(shù)第2句中的“擺上書、筆、墨、紙、錢幣、食物、玩具等物品”，如果直譯為lay out books...，toysand other things會(huì)使譯文顯得冗長(zhǎng)，宜用中心詞“物品”作賓語，具體物品名稱則作補(bǔ)充說明，譯為lay outmany things such as books, ...，and toys，使表達(dá)更為清晰順暢。

　　5.最后一句“根據(jù)……預(yù)測(cè)……”是一個(gè)無主語句，但根據(jù)上下文可知，此處“預(yù)測(cè)”的施動(dòng)者是孩子的家人，故翻譯時(shí)應(yīng)增譯主語the families。“根據(jù)......東西”可套用短語According to...來表達(dá);其中“東西”的定語“孩子抓的”可后置，用定語從句picks up來表達(dá)。“興趣愛好”的定語“孩子可能存在的”可譯為 the baby'spotential，因前半句已有baby—詞，為避免重復(fù)，the baby's可用物主代詞his來代替。
