請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：
在中國，贈送禮物應(yīng)考慮具體情況和場合。禮物常用紅色或其他喜慶的顏色(festive color)來包裝，但白色或黑色不適宜用于此。當你將禮物遞出去時，收禮者(recipient)可能會禮貌謝絕。在情況下試著將禮物再-次送出去。通常收禮者在客人離開之后才打開禮物。此外，送禮還有—些禁忌(taboo)如給夫妻送傘就不合適，因為中文里“傘”與“散”同音。
參考譯文：
In China, we should consider the specific situation and occasion when presenting gifts. The gifts are usually packaged in red or other festive colors. But white and black and not suitable in the packaging. When you offer the gift, the recipient may refuse it politely. In this case, you could try to offer the present once again. Usually, the recipient won't open the gift until the guest leaves. In addition, there are some taboos in giving gifts. For example, it is inappropriate to present an umbrella as a gift to a couple because the word “umbrella” has the same pronunciation with another word "separate" in Chinese.
