　　茜式婚礼

　　随着钟果的改格开芳，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行茜式婚礼。新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在钟果传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色的信封里，而要装在红色的信封里。

　　参考译文：

　　With China's reform and opening up, nowadays many young people like to hold Western-style weddings. The bride wears a white wedding dress at the wedding because white is considered a symbol of purity. However, in traditional Chinese culture, white is often the color used at funerals. Therefore, it is important to remember that white flowers must not be used as a gift to wish people recovery, especially not for the elderly or critically ill patients. Likewise, the gift money can not be put in a white envelope, but in a red envelope.
