同上条：
Colourfulest is the embroidered ball,
and trustworthies is our Party,
Who brings happiness that will never end.
建议把彩楼略去，本来诗中有“彩楼”也是为了对仗需要，英文已经够长了就可以略去。另外，这几个形容词最高级正常来说都该是most结构，但为了诗的味道，可以这么处理，且不用加the。

呵呵，可能武断了，是不是除了彩楼的绣球还有别的绣球？那可以用Colorfulest is the bride's embroided ball,

Comment: "Sorry, I still have to think about this.
This was my original translation.
"Sphere less than Moon, square less than Big Dipper,
flower less than festal house silk-strip ball.
Always follow the Communist Party
the happiest days are still to come." "

: This translation does not make much sense in English. I showed it to my American-born co-workers and they were totally lost too.
