「紫皮书」英语六级汉译英小短文：门神
门神，是旧时中国农历新年贴于门上的一种画类。门神画中的门神，本身是中国道教徒和民众共同信仰的守卫门户的神灵，古时人们常常将其神像贴于门上，用以驱邪避鬼，以助卫家宅、保平安、降吉祥。因此，门神是中国民间最受人们欢迎的保护神之一。每逢新年，中国人家家户户要做的第一件事，就是贴门神和写春联。
The Door God was a type of painting that used to be pasted on doors during the Chinese Lunar New Year in ancient times. The door god in this type of painting was in fact a keeper of doors jointly worshipped by both Taoists and common people. In ancient times, people often pasted a picture of the god on their doors to help drive away demons, so as to safeguard their family, protect their security and bring them good luck. Therefore, the door keeper is the most popular god of protection among Chinese communities. Every year during the lunar New Year, the first thing every Chinese household does is to invite a door god and paste written couplets onto their doors.
