  请将下面这段话翻译成英文:

  剪纸(paper cutting)有着悠久的历史,是传统的民间艺术形式。它可以追溯到东汉时期。在中国的传统文化中,剪纸可以反映生活的许多方面,如繁荣、健康或收获。虽然其他艺术形式,如绘画,也可以显示类似的景象,但剪纸仍然以它的魅力脱颖而出。今天,剪纸主要用做装饰。中国人认为门上的红色剪纸可以给全家人带来好运和幸福。剪纸在中国的传统节日,特别是春节(the Spring Festival)期间更常见。

  参考翻译:

  Paper cutting is a traditional folk art form with along history.It can be dated back to the Eastern HanDynasty.In traditional Chinese culture, paper-cutscan reflect various aspects of life such asprosperity, health or harvest.Although other artforms, like painting, can also show similar scenes, paper-cuts still stand out for itscharm.Today, paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations.Chinese people believe that the redpaper-cuts on the door can bring good luck and happiness to the whole family.The paper-cutsare more often seen during traditional Chinese festivals, particularly in the Spring Festival.

  1.剪纸有着悠久的历史,是传统的民间艺术形式:从整个句子来看该句有两个谓语动词,即“有着”和“是”,可将其中的“有着”翻译为with短语,即with a long history,"是”则用be动词来表示。“民间艺术”可译为folk art。

  2.中国人认为门上的红色剪纸可以给全家人带来好运和幸福:“认为”可译为believe,也可译为think或consider后可跟宾语从句。“給…带来…”可译为bring…to...,其他带有bring的常用的短语还有bring(培养,养有)、bring in(引起,介绍)、bring about(引起,导致)。
