B: My name is ….It’s our great honor to be here to show you a totally different culture, Chinese culture. Hope every one will enjoy it.

B: Exactly. According to Chinese calendar, the date of spring festival eve changes every year. And this year was on Jan 22nd. Besides, there’s a group of twelve animals representing a circle of twelve years in order. Like Tiger, Rabbit, and this year is the Dragon Year.
A: Dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled creatures with four legs as what you can see here if you look up now. There are four Dragons. And if you look around, you may see the paper cutting in the windows.
B: Paper cutting design originated in China. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper was invented by a Chinese, 蔡伦. Paper cutting has different meanings depending on the different pictures, but its major meaning is to bring good luck to New Year.A：General house-cleaning is the first step we prepared for the New Year. Then we go shopping; do a little decoration to our houses with Spring Festival Scrolls, Lanterns and so on.
B: We set off firecrackers or fireworks to get rid of evils of the old year and bring good luck to the New Year. Young men hold the dragon and dance through the streets. Besides, people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve.
A: That’s true. In Chinese culture, Reunion is a significant element. That’s why wherever the people are, it’s time for family to go back home and have a big meal together. Dumplings are traditional food, especially for the northern China. The shape of the dumpling resembles gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for prosperity and treasure.
B: After dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching a very popular Chinese celebration program on TV. During the festival, we visit our relatives and friends. Children are given red pockets with money inside from their parents, grandparents or other elders. Also, people prefer to wear red. The color means fire which keeps away from bad luck.
A: For women, they’re eager to wear 旗袍, Qipao is one of the most typical, traditional costume for Chinese women. It is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion because of its particular charm. It can display women's modesty, softness and beauty.
B: Thank you. Actually it’s our first time living so far away from our homes and couldn’t celebrate the festival together with our family, but luckily, we have built a Chinese Student Association and met so many international friends here, which makes us immersed in the feeling that we are family.

《春节
的街头》
今天，是中国传统节日——春节。早晨我还没醒，就听到了鞭炮的声音。平静的社区，今日显得热闹非凡。这热闹的喧嚣，把我的睡意一股脑的全都打撒开来。于是，起床穿上了新衣服连早饭都来不及吃就冲到门外，看着各家各户的炮竹，烟花。接着就是跟爸爸妈妈一起去走街串巷——拜年！ “李伯伯，新年快乐”“王阿姨，工作顺了”“刘奶奶，身体健康”〃〃〃跟所有的长辈们拜过年之后，妈妈提议说：一会，去街上看看，感受下新年的气氛。
一上街，街上可就更热闹了。人们手里有提着大袋大袋的菜，身边的孩子手上握着一大把小花炮，蹦蹦跳跳地跑着。看！我左边的一位四、五
岁左右的小女孩，跑到前面去。一下子又转过头对一位满手是鼓鼓的袋子的大人喊着：“爸爸，快点！我要回去放炮玩呢！”。有拿着那边超市发的小气球的，红的，黄的，绿的，还有蓝的。也有三五成群，手挽着手说说笑笑的姑娘们，小伙子们，忙绿了一年，辛苦了一年，我想这个时候应该是大家最放松，最高兴的时候。你看，路灯上还挂着两个小红灯，喜气洋洋的。就像在说，“我们也要过新年，我们也要过新年”。
一进菜市场，那才更热闹呢！人流窜动，一眼望去，什么也看不见，全是人。还有那翠绿的黄瓜，可真新鲜哪，你看，那金黄色的小花在太阳的照射下显得多么的生机勃勃啊。那鲫鱼，鲢鱼，青鱼，草鱼等等在水里游来游去，真是印证了我们中国的老话：年年有鱼（余）！黄的韭菜，红的番茄，黑的木耳，白的萝卜〃〃〃真是要什么有什么呀。“哎哟！可真够挤的。”我嘀咕了一句。跟着妈妈买了几个我爱吃的菜，结完帐就走出了菜场。超市里的收银台前也早已排起了长龙。
傍晚时分，街上，又渐渐安静下来。店主们把店子关了，超市也比往常早了些许关门。大家都提着东西回家过年去了。
到了晚上6点左右，社区渐渐安静，孩子们都回家吃团圆饭去了。吃完团圆饭7、8点的样子社区又重新热闹起来。孩子们全都出来放花炮了。这个放个“降落伞，”那个又放个“天女撒花”〃〃〃〃各式各样的花炮全有。每放完一个都会聚集好几个孩子，他们在讨论谁的花炮最美丽，谁的花炮颜色最多，之后又是阵阵欢笑。大人们或几个坐在一起打牌，打麻将；或几个坐在一起嗑瓜子，剥花生；或看着自己的孩子放花炮，
偶尔还要帮他们一下。大多数的孩子，都是自己独立操作完成。夜，更深了。人们陆陆续续的回家了，有些不肯回家的孩子也在父母的劝说下，不情愿的回了家，一天的热闹景象渐渐被夜幕包围。我不禁感叹又是一年到，时间过得可真快呀！
春
节见闻
“当、当、当”新年的钟声敲响了，家家户户的门上早已贴上了或火红或金黄的对联，每一家的老老少少都乐得合不拢嘴。兴奋的孩子们有的目不转睛地盯着电视，品尝着一年一度的晚会大餐――春节晚会；有的急着给自己的长辈拜年，发短信，打电话，所有新年的祝福话语仿佛怎么也说不完；调皮的孩子正在向自己的父辈们 “讨要”压岁钱；屋外的鞭炮声此起彼伏，炸开了锅，五彩的烟花更是把这个特殊的夜晚点缀得绚丽多姿。
正月初一，农历新年的第一天迎着人们的喜悦祥和而来。我这个平时最赖床的懒汉，今天却起了个大早，因为我极想穿上我那美丽的新衣，出去好好炫耀一翻。我要去走亲访友拜新年了，这无疑也是一件高兴的事。我们小孩子走在拜年队伍的前面，见到长辈们拜个年，说几句吉利话，就可以收获一大把的压岁钱，然后拿到街上去买自己喜爱的东西――玩具、零食、鞭炮……，家长好像变了个人似的，对我们的放纵是那么的宽容，一切都有了！这就是过年的感觉。
“放鞭炮喽！”不知是谁喊了一声，小孩子们很快都聚在了一起。一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，响声震天，四处飞溅，仿佛要把一个个美好的愿望送到千家万户。一阵阵炮竹声接连不断，热闹非凡。
到了吃饭的时候，望着满桌子平时最爱吃的菜肴，我们小孩子却一点儿也不觉得饿。大人们在推杯换盏之间，谈论最多是：今非昔比啊！今天的幸福生活从餐桌上最能说明问题，现在人们生活好了，天天就像在过年！
奔波在走亲访友的路途上，我见到了春意盎然的田间大地，一条条新修的高速公路缩短了我们的行程，通往乡村的泥巴路也被“村村通”的水泥路所覆盖，城市高楼大厦像雨后春笋，一年一个变化……
春节对于我们小孩子来说，那就是一切都在变化，一切都是新的！

用十句简单英语激活你的口语
有时候在 ICQ 上同时和老美和老中用英文聊天, 通常用不了多久, 我很快就能分别出这是老美的英文是老中的英文. 就算同样是用那些单字, 老美用的英文就是有一种特别的味道. 因为我发觉老美常常会 "换句话说". 整句话的味道就不一样. 例如 "me too." 没有人不知道吧! 但老美不只会用 "me too." 他们还会用 "same here." 虽然 same 跟 here 你我都认识, 但我们就不会说 "same here." 对吧! 其实这就是我所说的味道. 大家不要一味地去追求艰深的单字和用法, 反而是要对日常生活中常用到的单字片语要有活用的能力, 这样你的美语听起来才会地道. 这次大家来学学这十句简单的用法, 看看能不能让自己的美语活起来.
1. Do you have any pet peeve? 你有什么样的怪毛病吗?所谓的 pet peeve 就是个人生活习惯上的一些小毛病, 例如有些人不喜欢别人碰他的电脑, 要是你碰他的电脑他就会不高兴, 这就是所谓的 pet peeve. (而非 bad habit.) 通常 pet peeve 都是比较无伤大雅的小毛病, 几乎每个人都有属于他自己的 pet peeve. 所以就有老美跟我说过, "Everybody has his pet peeve." 当然 pet peeve 也常常成为老美谈话之间彼此开玩笑的话题. 记得
"Friends" 有一集就是两边人马在比快问快答, 而其中有一类的问题就是 pet peeves. 蛮有意思的. 如果是这个坏习惯大到会影响别人, 像是在公共场所老是讲话很大声, 这就不是 pet peeve, 而要用 annoying 来形容. 例如我就常听老美抱怨, "Don't you think he is annoying?" (你不觉得他很烦吗?)
2. Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but I think we still have to invest it.或许这么作有点冒险, 但我想我们还是要投资它. 一般人想到冒险, 直觉的反应就是, "It's risky" 或是 "It's dangerous." 但是囗语上老美喜欢说, "I'm going out on a limb." 来表示这件事需要冒险. 这个 limb 原意是指树枝, 想象当你爬树时爬到小树枝上去了,你是不是不知小树枝什么时候会断掉? 这种不确定的危机感, 就是为什么老美要用 "Go out on a limb." 来表示冒险的原因了. 例如你来到一个清澈的河边, 你很想下去游泳, 但四周又没有救生员, 这时你就可以说, "Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but I think I am gonna try it." (我知道这么作有点冒险, 但我还是要试试看.)
3. I don't have skeleton in my closet.我没有什么不可告人的秘密. 每次竞选期间一到, 一定会看到候选人争相证明自己的过去是清白的, 没有什么不可告人的秘密. 这句话在英文里要怎么讲呢? 当然最简单的说法就是, "I don't have any secret in the past." 但是这样的说法不如俚语的用法 "I don't have skeleton in my closet" 来得传神. 在这里 skeleton 是指骷髅, 而 closet 是指衣柜的意思, 各位不难想象, 一个人把骷髅藏在自己的衣柜里作什么? 一定是有不可告人的秘密. 例如你在高中时考试作弊被抓到, 还被记了一个大过, 但你长大之后这件事再也没有人提过, 所以你也不想别人知道. 这件考试作弊就变成是你的 skeleton in the closet. 有时候我自己也会别出心裁, 把这句话改变一下, 展现一下自己的幽默感. 例如有次我室友不让我进他房里, 我就用这句话亏他, "Do you have any skeleton in your room?" (你房里是不是有什么不可告人的秘密啊?) 当然 in your room 是我自己改的, 但在那样的情况下, 却有另一番的味道.
篇三：春节风俗英文介绍及英文祝福语
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and also the most important one of the whole year. Through the evolvement of thousands of years, a series of customs are spreading far and wide.
扫尘 Sweeping the Dust
“Dust” is homophonic with “chen”（尘）in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a
thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This
custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life.
In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every household will
give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the
new.
贴春联 Pasting Spring Couplets
“The Spring Couplet”, also called “couplet” and “a pair of antithetical
phrases”, is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is
composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a
horizontal scroll bearing an inscription, usually an auspicious phrase,
above the gate. The sentence pasting on the right side of the door is
called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second
line. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will paste on
doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous
atmosphere of the Festival. In the past, the Chinese usually wrote their
own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them, while
nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the
market.
贴窗花和“福”字 Pasting Paper-cuts and “Up-sided Fu”
Paper-cuts, usually with auspicious patterns, give a happy and prosperous
atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people
looking forward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on
windows, it is common for Chinese to paste the character “fu（福）”, big and small, on walls, doors and doorposts around the houses. “Fu（福）” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the
character “fu（福）” to signify that blessing has arrived because “inverted” is a homonym for “arrive” in Chinese. Now many kinds of paper-cuts and
“fu（福）” can be seen in the market before the Festival.
守岁 Staying Up Late on New Year's Eve
The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an
interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year,
who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, on every New Year’s Eve, every household
would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all
the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each
other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed.
Thus in China, “celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing
over the year (guo nian)”. However, now there are less and less people in
cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.
贴年画 Pasting New Year Prints
The custom of pasting New Year Prints originated from the tradition of
placing Door Gods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of
board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The
most famous ones are Door Gods, Surplus Year after Year, Three Gods of
Blessing, Salary and Longevity, An Abundant Harvest of Crops, Thriving
Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producing areas of New Year Print are Tɑohuɑwu of Suzhou, Yɑngliuqing of Tianjin, Wuqiɑng of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is
still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.
吃饺子 Having Jiaozi
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family will sit together to make jiaozi and
celebrate the Spring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot from
ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure. The
tradition of having jiaozi is very important during the Spring Festival.
You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without having jiaozi. (See
page 82 for more information about “jiaozi”)
看春节联欢晚会 The CCTV New Year's Gala
The New Year’s Gala is a variety show held by China Central Television
(CCTV) since 1983. For every year since then at the turn of the Lunar New
Year, the program begins at 8:00PM and lasts five or six hours. It brings
laughter to billions of people, creates many popular words and produces
lots of TV phenomena meriting attention. For over twenty years, its value
has gone far beyond a variety show. It is essential entertainment for the
Chinese both at home and abroad. Many Chinese would like to watch the gala while having the dinner on New Year’s Eve.
放鞭炮 Setting off Firecrackers
The firecracker is a unique product in China. In ancient China, the sound
of burning bamboo tubes was used to scare away wild animals and evil
spirits. With the invention of the gunpowder, “firecracker” is also called
“鞭炮biānpào” (“炮” in Chinese means gun) and used to foster a joyful atmosphere. The first thing every Chinese household does is to set off
firecrackers and fireworks, which are meant to bid farewell to the old
year and usher in the new. In the past few years, such an activity was
completely or partially forbidden in big cities including Beijing due to
fire and personal casualty caused by burning firecrackers. However, some
Chinese thought that a Spring Festival without firecrackers was not lively
enough and they burned firecrackers by stealth. So in recent years, the
ban was cancele
d again. This shows that burning firecrackers is a veryimportant activity during the Spring Festival.
拜年和压岁钱 New Year's Visit and Gift Money
On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, everybody puts on their best
clothes and pays ceremonial calls on their relatives and friends, wishing
them all the luck in the coming year. Juniors will greet seniors, wishing
them health and longevity, while seniors will give juniors some gift money
as a wish for their safety in the coming year. When friends meet, they
will wish each other happiness and prosperity with a big smile. With the
development of the new technology, there is a change on the way of giving
New Years greetings. In recent year, it is common to send New Years
greetings by such modern means of communication as telephones, emails and text messages.
逛庙会 Temple Fair
Temple fair, usually held outside temples, is a kind of folk custom in
China. During the Spring Festival, temple fair is one of the most
important activities, in which there are such performances as acrobatics
and Wushu, numerous kinds of local snacks and many kinds of things for
everyday life In recent years, the temple fair has become a place for
people to appreciate the traditional art and experience the traditional
life .
Traditional Festival Greetings:
恭贺新禧 | Happy New Year
吉祥如意 | Everything Goes Well
恭喜发财 | Wishing You Prosperity
年年有余 | Surplus Year after Year
岁岁平安 | Peace All Year Round
