【中國新年禁忌】：

Dos and Donts of Chinese New Year

Do's:

Wish everyone you meet a happy New Year by saying “gong xi fa cai”, which translates to: “Have a happy and prosperous New Year!” 對每一個你遇到的人道一聲：“恭喜發(fā)財”，翻譯成英文就是：“在新的一年里擁有幸福繁榮的生活”；

Wear articles of red clothing because red symbolizes luck.穿紅色布料做成的飾品，因為紅色昭示著幸運；

Eat vegetarian food because it's not good to see blood.吃素食，因為見血是不吉利的；

Buy new trousers because the Chinese word for trousers is “fu”,(Chinese homonym for wealth)買新褲子（衣服），因為漢語里褲子就是“服”，（在漢語里與財富的“富”諧音）；

Children should stay up as late as possible on New Year's Eve for it is believed that the later they stay up, the longer their parents will live.孩子應該在除夕之夜盡可能晚睡、熬夜因為據(jù)說他們睡的越晚，他們的父母越長壽；

Visit family(especially those older than yourself)and friends to pass on your wishes on good fortune for the New Year.(plus kids and single people will receive lai-see lucky red packets full of money.拜訪親戚朋友（尤其是比你年長的），傳遞你對他們來年幸福的美好祝愿（另外孩子和單身的人將會得到裝滿錢的幸運紅包，稱為“來喜”。）

Give two lai see to each child.Because happiness comes in two's, do not just give one.This is your way of passing good luck to the next generation.Business owners also give lai see to employees and associates.給每個孩子兩份“來喜”（我覺得應該指錢是偶數(shù)的），因為好事成雙，不要只給一份。這是你把祝愿傳遞給下一代的方法。企業(yè)主（老板）也要給員工和同事紅包。

Don'ts:

Don't wear white or black clothing, since they are the traditional colours of mourning.不要穿白色或黑色服裝，因為這是傳統(tǒng)意義上喪事的顏色；

Don't buy new shoes for the first month of the New Year, because the sound of shoe in Chinese is “hai”.“Hai” is similar to the sound of sighing, which Chinese believe is not a good way to start the year.不要在新年的第一個月買新鞋，因為在漢語里鞋的發(fā)音是“孩”（好像是四川地區(qū)的發(fā)音），它與嘆息”唉“相近，中國人認為這不是新年伊始的好兆頭。

Don't wash your hair for the first three days of the New Year, because the Chinese word for hair is a homonym for the Chinese word for wealth.Therefore, Chinese believe it isn't a good thing to 'wash away your wealth' right at the start of the New Year.在新年的前三天里不要洗頭，因為漢語里“頭發(fā)”的“發(fā)”和“發(fā)財”的“發(fā)”同音。因此，中國認為在新年伊始把財富給沖走可不是好兆頭。Floors may not be swept and garbage may not be disposed of on the first day of the New Year for fear of casting riches out the door.在新年第一天，不拖地，不扔垃圾，因為怕把“財”給送走了；

Don't swear or quarrel.不要詛咒發(fā)誓，也不愿吵架；

Don't break any dishes, otherwise you may incur more misfortune for the New Year.In the event of breaking a dish, quickly say “ Peace for all time”, and the bad luck will be warded away.不要打破碗碟，否則在來年你可能會遭遇不幸。一旦打破了，要馬上說“歲歲平安”，這樣壞運氣就會被趕走了；

Don't greet people who are in mourning.不要向服喪期的人們問候（主要指不要說喜慶的話吧？）

Don't drop your chopsticks.不要讓筷子掉地上；

Don't say the number 'four'(Chinese homonym for death)or mention death.不要說數(shù)字“四”（漢語里和“死”諧音）或者提到死；

Don't borrow or lend money.不要借錢也不要借給別人錢。

Spring Festival, the traditional Chinese New Year?s Day, is China?s most important national holiday.The date of the new year is still determined by the lunar calendar even though the government of the Republic of China adopted the international Gregorian calendar in 1912.New Year?s Day typically occurs sometime in early spring(February).Almost everyone in China?s cities enjoys at least three days off work to celebrate spring Festival, and the celebration lasts even longer in rural areas: from the eighth day of the last month of the lunar year to the fifteenth day of the first month of the following lunar years.Rural residents use this time, following a year?s hard work and prior to the spring planting, to rest and relax as the climate in northern China is still quite cold.The Han people(the majority ethnic group in China, accounting for more than 90 percent of the population)have a tradition of eating laba-rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit-on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.This pastime symbolizes the peasants? wishes for an abundant harvest and healthy animals.Starting on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month people clean their houses, decorate them with paper-cuts and streamers, shop for special Spring Festival foods and gifts, and begin preparing the New year?s banquet.On the day before New Year?s day, many families decorate their front doors with a pair of couplets designating good fortune.These couplets are written in fine calligraphy on long strips of red paper.The text of the sentiments expressed are for happiness, good health, bumper harvest, family harmony and prosperity.Special pictures are placed in different rooms to dispel evil spirits and bring the family tranquility and happiness throughout the coming year.Children set off firecrackers, play games and carry colorful lanterns in hand as they visit friends.Parents keep busy preparing the New Year?s Eve dinner and making jiaozi-dumplings with meat and vegetable fillings.Dumplings are an indispensable food for northerners during their New Year?s celebration.In olden times, jiaozi were thought to scare away evil spirits, misfortune and disease.Today this well-loved dish is as closely associated with Spring Festival as turkey is with Thanksgiving in the United States.Chinese have been making jiaozi for more than 1,600 years, but the preparation of this delicious food varies by region.One variety is made with fillings of meat, Chinese cabbage or other vegetables, peanut and sesames oils, with ginger, green onion and salt for flavoring.Another variety is filled with eggs and dried shrimp along with Chinese cabbage, Chinese chives and other flavorings.On New Year?s Day people traditionally eat dumplings made with egg and shrimp fillings to encourage a year of peace.Families in some rural areas have a custom of wrapping a small piece of candy or a coin in one of the dumplings.The person who eats this dumpling is considered lucky and will have a happy and prosperous new year.Following dinner, most families watch special holiday variety shows on television, which last well into new Year?s Day.Many families stay up very late, some even stay up all night, playing cards, laughing, chatting, or telling stories to the children.At midnight a barrage of firecrackers breaks the silence and after the cocks crow, every family conducts a New Year?s ceremony.Everyone, old and young, dresses in their best before offering sacrifices to their gods and ancestors.The reunion meal in northern China consists of jiaozi.Old and young sit around the dinner table waiting to be served while the women boil the dumplings.If family members cannot join the reunion meal, a pair of chopsticks, a cup of wine and a bowl are laid out for them to symbolize the family?s best wishes.On New Year?s Day the children receive gifts of money in red envelopes from their parents and grandparents.But, the most popular celebrating activity is young people expressing wishes of good fortune and health to the family elders.Other children enjoy visiting with friends, neighbors and relatives because they are treated to fruit, pastry and candy while their parents drink tea, wine or beer.The celebrating climax occurs on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month during the Lantern Festival.At night lantern shows or lion dances are performed, luring visitors to the fun, whether it?s in the city or the countryside.A happy New Year to you.恭賀新年。

Allow me to congratulate you on the arrival of the New Year and to extend to you all my best wishes for your perfect health and lasting prosperity.恭賀新禧，祝身體健康、事業(yè)發(fā)達。

第三篇：春節(jié)習俗英文表達

Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year.Chinese people may celebrate the Chinese New Year in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same;they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.春節(jié)慶祝活動是一年中最重要的慶祝活動。中國人慶祝春節(jié)的方式可能略微不同，但其愿望幾乎是相同的，他們希望其家人和朋友來年健康和幸運。

Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days.Celebratory activities include Chinese New Feast, firecrackers, giving lucky money to children, the New Year bell ringing and Chinese New Year Greetings.Most of Chinese people will stop the celebrating in their home on the 7th day of New Year because the national holiday usually ends around that day, however celebrations in public areas can last until the 15th day of New Year.春節(jié)慶祝活動通常持續(xù)15天。慶祝活動包括春節(jié)的年夜飯，放鞭炮，給兒童壓歲錢，春節(jié)鐘聲和春節(jié)問候。大多數(shù)中國人將在春節(jié)的第7天停止慶祝活動，因為全國性節(jié)假通常在這一天結(jié)束，但在公共場所的慶祝活動可能最終持續(xù)到正月十五。House Cleaning 房屋打掃

To clean houses on the New Year Eve is a very old custom dating back to thousands of years ago.The dust is traditionally associated with “old” so cleaning their houses and sweeping the dust mean to bid farewell to the “old” and usher in the “new”.Days before the New Year, Chinese families clean their houses, sweeping the floor, washing daily things, cleaning the spider webs and dredging the ditches.People do all these things happily in the hope of a good coming year.春節(jié)打掃房屋這個非常古老的習俗甚至可以追溯到幾千年前。灰塵在傳統(tǒng)上與“舊”聯(lián)系在一起，所以打掃房屋和掃除灰塵意味著辭“舊”迎“新”。春節(jié)的前幾天，中國的各家各戶都打掃房屋，掃地，清洗日用品，清除蛛網(wǎng)和疏浚溝渠。人們興高采烈做所有這些事情，希望來年好運。

House decoration 房屋裝飾

One of the house decorations is to post couplets on doors.On the Spring Festival couplets, good wishes are expressed.New Year couplets are usually posted in pairs as even numbers are associated with good luck and auspiciousness in Chinese culture.房屋裝飾之一就是在門上貼對聯(lián)。在春聯(lián)上，抒發(fā)良好的祝愿。春聯(lián)通常是成對張貼，因為雙數(shù)在中國文化中是好運氣和吉祥的象征。

People in north China are used to posting paper-cut on their windows.When sticking the window decoration paper-cuts, people paste on the door large red Chinese character “fu”A red “fu”means good luck and fortune, so it is customary to post “fu”on doors or walls on auspicious occasions such as wedding, festivals.在中國北方，人們習慣于在窗戶上貼剪紙。人們既在窗戶上貼剪紙，又在大門上貼上大大的紅色漢字“福”字，一個紅色“福”字意味著好運和財富，因此習慣上在婚禮，節(jié)日之類的吉祥場合中，人們都會在門或墻上貼“福”字。

Waiting for the First Bell Ringing of Chinese New Year 等待春節(jié)的第一聲鐘鳴

The first bell ringing is the symbol of Chinese New Year.Chinese people like to go to a large squares where there are huge bells are set up on New Year’s Eve.As the New Year approaches they count down and celebrate together.The people believe that the ringing of huge bell can drive all the bad luck away and bring the fortune to them.In recent years, some people have begun going to mountain temples to wait for the first ringing.Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, is very famous temple for its first ringing of the bell to herald Chinese New Year.Many foreigners now go to Hanshan Temple to celebrate Chinese New Year.第一次鐘聲是春節(jié)的象征。中國人喜歡到一個大廣場，那里有為除夕設置的大鐘。隨著春節(jié)的臨近，他們開始倒計數(shù)并一起慶祝。人們相信了大鐘的撞響可以驅(qū)除霉運，帶來好運。近年來，有些人開始去山上寺廟等待第一次鐘聲。蘇州的寒山寺就非常著名，它的鐘聲宣布春節(jié)的到來。現(xiàn)在有許多外國人也去寒山寺慶祝春節(jié)。Staying up late(“Shousui”)熬夜（“守歲”）

Shousui means to stay up late or all night on New Year's Eve.After the great dinner, families sit together and chat happily to wait for the New Year’s arrival.守歲意味著除夕夜不睡覺。年夜飯后，家人聚坐一起，愉快聊天，等待春節(jié)的到來。New Year Feast 年夜飯 Spring Festival is a time for family reunion.The New Year's Feast is “a must” banquet with all the family members getting together.The food eaten on the New Year Eve banquet varies according to regions.In south China, It is customary to eat “niangao”(New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)because as a homophone, niangao means “higher and higher every year”.In the north, a traditional dish for the feast is “Jiaozi” or dumplings shaped like a crescent moon.春節(jié)是與家人團聚的時間。年夜飯是所有家庭成員聚在一起“必須”的宴會。除夕宴會上吃的食物根據(jù)不同的地區(qū)各不相同。在中國南方，習慣吃“年糕”（糯米粉制成的新年糕點），因為作為一個同音字，年糕意味著“步步高升”。在北方，年夜飯的傳統(tǒng)飯是“餃子”或像月牙兒形的湯圓。

Setting Firecrackers 燃放鞭炮

Lighting Firecrackers used to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration.However, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities.But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration.Right as the clock strikes 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening.Families stay up for this joyful moment and kids with firecrackers in one hand and a lighter in another cheerfully light their happiness in this especial occasion, even though they plug their ears.放鞭炮曾是春節(jié)慶祝活動中最重要的習俗之一。然而，擔心燃放鞭炮可能會帶來危險和煩人的噪音，政府已在許多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城鎮(zhèn)和農(nóng)村地區(qū)的人們?nèi)匀粓猿诌@種傳統(tǒng)的慶祝活動。除夕夜一旦時鐘撞響午夜12點鐘，城市和鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)都被煙花的閃閃光芒映亮，鞭炮聲震耳欲聾。一家人熬夜就為這個歡樂的時刻，孩子們一手拿鞭炮，一手拿火機興高采烈地點放著他們在這個特殊節(jié)日的快樂，盡管他們嚇得捂著耳朵。New Year Greetings(Bai Nian)春節(jié)的問候（拜年）

On the first day of the New Year or shortly thereafter, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and Gongxi(congratulations), wishing each other good luck, happiness during the new year.In Chinese villages, some villagers may have hundreds of relatives so they have to spend more than two weeks visiting their relatives.在春節(jié)第一天或此后不久，大家都穿著新衣服，帶著弓向親戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜（祝賀），彼此祝愿在新的一年里好運，幸福。在中國農(nóng)村，有些村民可能有數(shù)以百計的親戚，所以他們不得不拿出兩個多星期來走親訪友。

On the first day of the new year, it’s customary for the younger generations to visit the elders, wishing them healthy and longevity.春節(jié)第一天，按習慣，小一輩人要拜見老一輩，祝愿他們健康長壽。

Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time, now, some busy people will send New Year cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit personally.因為探親訪友花費大量時間，所以，現(xiàn)在有些忙碌的人就送春節(jié)賀卡來表達他們的良好祝愿，而不是親自去拜訪。Lucky Money 壓歲錢

It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift.The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off monsters;hence the name “l(fā)ucky money”.Parents and grandparents first put money in small, especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year's Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year.They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color.They want to give their children both lucky money and lucky color.這是孩子們的父母和祖父母給他們作為春節(jié)禮物的錢。壓歲錢據(jù)說能帶來好運，能驅(qū)魔；因此，就有了“壓歲錢”的稱呼。父母和祖父母先把錢放入特制的小紅包里，年夜飯后或當孩子們來拜年時，將紅包發(fā)給他們。他們之所以要把錢放到紅包里，是因為中國人認為紅色是個幸運色。他們想給自己孩子既有壓歲錢還有幸運色。

第五篇：英文表達

相信大家對Chinglish早已經(jīng)見怪不怪了，就連上世紀30年代逐字翻譯的中式英語Long time no see(很久不見)，也大張旗鼓地進入了英語標準詞組的“領地”。當然這不過屬于“中式逐字翻譯原創(chuàng)版”，老外們看后莞爾一笑也就過去了。但有些情況則不同，已有的英文詞句的表意往往并非是單詞的真正意思，如果一不留神就會釀成“英語尷尬”，鬧笑話不說，表錯了意有時還會帶來不少誤會。就像一位博友在加拿大的親身經(jīng)歷——他剛到加拿大的時候看到很多大廈門口都有smoke free的標志，因此由衷地感嘆道：“加拿大就是好，抽煙都免費。”
