孔雀舞(peacock dance)是傣族(Dai ethnic group)最广泛流传的古代舞蹈之一,同时也是傣族喜爱的舞蹈。对傣族来说,孔雀象征着好运、幸福、美丽和诚实,所以跳孔雀舞是为了歌颂美好的生活,表达对幸福生活的美好的祝愿。孔雀舞主要在傣历的新年-泼水节(the Water-splashingFestival)、关门节(the Gate Closing Festival)、开门节(the Gate Opening Festival)和一些重要的宗教活动上表演。他们通过跳优雅的孔雀舞来祈求和平与幸福。
参考翻译:

1.孔雀舞是傣族最广泛流传的古代舞蹈之一:“最广泛流传的”可用the most wide-spread表示,spread意为“传播”,wide-spread意为“广泛传播的”;“傣族”可译为Daiethnic group。
2.对傣族来说,孔雀象征着好运、幸福、美丽和诚实:“对傣族族来说"可译为to the Dai people,因上文有“傣族”的全称,故此处可以简写,也可译为for the Dai people; “象征着”可以理解为“是…的象征”,故可以用be asymbol of:..来表示。
