在所有传统节日中,我最喜欢的节日就是除夕了。除夕是春节的前夜,也可以叫做大年三十。在这一天,男女老少都穿起新衣,门外贴上春联,挂起灯笼,调皮的小孩玩鞭炮玩得日也不绝,家里家外打扫的干干净净。在外工作的人,除非万不得已,必定赶回家来吃团圆饭。
Of all the traditional festivals, my favorite is new year's Eve. New year's Eve is the eve of the Spring Festival. It can also be called the new year's Eve. On this day, men and women, old and young, put on new clothes, stick Spring Festival couplets outside the door, hang lanterns, naughty children play with firecrackers day after day, clean at home and abroad. Those who work abroad, unless they have to, must rush home to have a reunion dinner.
传说在很久很久以前,古时候有一个凶恶的怪兽叫夕,每到年末都出来害人。后来,人们知道夕最怕红色和巨大的声响,于是在年三十这天,家家户户贴春联、灯火通明、张灯结彩、燃放爆竹,来驱除夕兽,并求一年安宁。这种习俗从此流传下来,大年三十晚上便叫做除夕了。
It is said that a long time ago, in ancient times, there was a ferocious monster named Xi, which came out to harm people at the end of each year. Later, people knew that they were most afraid of red and loud sounds. So on the thirtieth day of the new year, every family posted Spring Festival couplets, lights, lights and firecrackers to drive away the animals and seek peace for a year. This custom has been handed down since then. It is called New Year's Eve on the eve of the lunar new year.
我们这里在过春节的时候,是要祭拜祖宗,并且还要杀鸡,以祈盼这一年幸福安康,合家团圆。
When we celebrate the Spring Festival, we worship our ancestors and kill chickens to pray for a happy and healthy year and family reunion.
终于等到吃年夜饭的时候了,那一桌丰盛的饭菜,有鱼、腊肉、鸡,让我迫不及待地想开动了。吃完饭后,爷爷奶奶把我带到房间里,拿出一个红包。我连忙说:“祝爷爷奶奶身体健康,新年快乐!”
Finally, it's time to eat the new year's Eve meal. That rich meal, including fish, bacon and chicken, makes me eager to start. After dinner, my grandparents took me to my room and took out a red bag. I quickly said: "I wish grandpa and grandma good health, happy New Year!"
晚上十二点,爆竹声响起了,几个小伙伴玩起了鞭炮,我也不例外。那烟花像一朵朵美丽的花儿,在天空中绽放。听——钟声敲响了,过了十二点,就是新的一年了。除夕真热闹啊!
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the firecrackers sounded, and a few friends played with firecrackers. I was no exception. The fireworks are like beautiful flowers blooming in the sky. Listen - the bell rings. After 12 o'clock, it's the new year. New year's Eve is so busy!
这一天,人们虽然很忙,但我们心中很高兴,能够和久别的亲友相聚,真是一个难忘的除夕!
This day, although people are very busy, but we are very happy in the heart, to be able to get together with long-time friends and relatives, is really an unforgettable New Year's Eve!
