春節英文介紹：

The Origin of Chinese New Year

中國春節的來歷

The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring(the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means “year”, was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite.People were very scared.One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian.To Nian he said, “I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?” So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian.He turned out to be an

immortal god.Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life.Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation.The term “Guo Nian”, which may mean “Survive the Nian” becomes today “Celebrate the(New)Year” as the word “guo” in Chinese having both the meaning of “pass-over” and “observe”.The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around.However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.

第四篇：中國春節英文介紹..帶翻譯的

春節的

The origin of the Chinese New Year is itself centuries oldbut black and white are out, as these are associated with mourning.After dinner, the family sit up for the night playing cards, board games or watching TV programmers dedicated to the occasion.At midnight, the sky is lit up by fireworks.On the day itself, an ancient custom called Hong Bao, meaning Red Packet, takes place.This involves married couples giving children and unmarried adults money in red envelopes.Then the family begins to say greetings from door to door, first to their relatives and then their neighbors.Like the Western saying “let bygones be bygones,” at Chinese New Year, grudges are very easily cast aside.The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.Although celebrations of the Chinese New Year vary, the underlying message is one of peace and happiness for family members and friends.農歷新年的起源是它幾個世紀的歷史歲月，事實上，這由于年代過于久遠而無法被準確的追溯。人們通常稱之為春節并慶祝長達15天的時間。

準備的工作通常在農歷新年（類似于西方的圣誕節）之前的一個月就已經展開，也就是人們開始購買禮物，裝飾品，材料，衣服和食物。

大掃除會在新年之前展開，華人的房屋會被徹底的打掃，掃去厄運，給門和窗子上新漆，通常都是紅色的。在門和窗子上貼上剪紙和印有喜氣，長壽，發財主體的對聯。年三十夜或許是最激動人心的部分，如預期般的悄悄接近。這里，服裝和食物上都體現著族傳統禮儀的遵從。

晚餐，通常都是餃子和海鮮酒席。象征著不同的美好祝愿，微妙的東西包括有蝦來祝愿幸?？鞓?，干貝祝愿完事順利，生魚來祝愿好運和繁榮。Fai-hai 一種像頭發般的可食用海藻帶來繁榮的祝愿，水餃意味著對家庭的美好祝愿。

通常穿上紅色的衣服，認為這種顏色可以避邪。但是絕不穿黑色和白色的。那些顏色通常和悲痛相聯系。飯后家人們不睡，玩棋牌，看電視節目都融入于這種氣氛。深夜，天空被煙花所點亮。

在農歷新年當天，有一個古老的傳統叫做紅包，意思就是紅色的小包。就是已婚的夫婦給小孩和未婚的成年人裝在紅信封里的錢。而后一家人開始串門問候，先去他們的親戚家，而后是鄰居。就如西方所說的，讓過去的就成為過去吧。在農歷新年，過去的過劫非常容易就被拋開了。

新年的最后一天被稱為燈籠節，以唱歌跳舞觀燈籠的方式來慶祝。

雖然慶祝農歷新年的方式很多，但其根本意義是，家庭和朋友的幸福快樂。

第五篇：春節的英文介紹

what does the holiday mean?

這個節日有什么含義嗎？

The term “pass year” is used for the Spring Festival(Chinese New Year).The word “Year” in Chinese characters used to mean a horrible beast.To combat the beast, the Chinese hang “good luck” wishes on red paper on the door and use fireworks in the belief that the beast fears red and fire.This tradition in many ways resemble the Western belief of using garlic and crosses to fight vampires.中文中“過年”這個詞組用以表示對春節（中國新年）的慶祝。“年”這個字在中文里是一種恐怖的怪獸。因為“年”害怕紅色和火，所以中國人會在門上懸掛“春聯”寫上美好祝福，并放鞭炮來趕跑它。這個傳統有點類似西方人用大蒜和十字架嚇跑吸血鬼的傳統。

Why New Year is so special?

為什么新年那么特別呢？

The Chinese zodiac features 12 animals in the sequence of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.This year is the year of Tiger.Each animal represents a different “personality”.According to legend, people held a conference with all the animals, informing them that they would pick the 12 to represent the zodiac.However, in spite of being fast, the cat was not picked as its then-close friend, the rat, did not wake it.This action sparked off a rivalry that continues till this day.中國的十二生肖代表了十二種動物，他們的順序是：鼠、牛、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗和豬。今年是虎年。每一種動物有他們自己的“性格”。根據傳說，人們當初和動物們開了一個會，最先到會的動物們就可以進入十二生肖。而身為貓最好的朋友，老鼠卻沒有把貓叫醒去開會。因此，它們之間的戰爭一直持續到今天。

What do people do?

那人們在新年都干啥呢？

Eat, eat again, and then eat some more!As the old Chinese saying goes: food is everything.吃、接著吃、再吃更多東西！就跟一句中國古話說的那樣：食物即一切。（滬江小編：這算是哪門子“中國古話”??？）

The tradition is to have different main courses everyday from the 1st day of the New Year to the 15th day of the New Year, from Jiao Zi(dumplings), noodles, spring rolls, sticky rice cakes, and Tang Yuan(stuffed rice balls).Besides culinary satisfaction, each food has a meaning as well: for instance, Jiao Zi looks like gold, implying a wealthy year ahead.傳統就是，從新年第一天開始直到正月十五，每天都要吃不同的主菜。從餃子、面條、春卷、年糕到湯圓。除了祭好五臟廟以外，每一種食物也有含義：比如餃子看起來就像金元寶，這意味來年的豐衣足食。

Besides eating, young people visit older family members and kids are blessed with a red pack of “lucky” money.And then, people gather and eat again(!), leading to a lot of advertisements about fitness right after the Chinese New Year holiday.除了吃以外，年輕人要去拜會家里的老人家，而小盆友們就有大把壓歲錢拿。跟著，人們又聚在一起吃，所以節后中國就會出現很多減肥廣告……（滬江小編：寫這東西的老外看就知道被騙了。這是哪家的規矩……不過沒事，大家隨機應變、等見了老外把真正的中國習俗告訴他們吧。）

Happy Chinese New year！!
