关于春节的来历与传说

关于春节的来历与习俗的英语介绍
（附翻译）

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for
Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this
time of the year
，
and they reach the peak on lunar new
year
‘
s eve.


对于中国人来 说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采
烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。


Though the 15-day period
，
which starts with the first
day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day
（
known
as Lantern Festival
），
is relatively long
，
it is the
busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The
arrangements they have to make for family reunions
，
buying
necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout
the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends
over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating
the house and setting off fireworks.


春节历时
15
天，也就从大年初一开始，到元月十五结束。这段
比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候。他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购


年货，准备丰 盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多
人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个 餐。庆祝春节
也包括大扫除和放烟火。


But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be
fading.


但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。


Spring Festival
，
as it is celebrated today
，
has
undergone many changes
，
thanks to the country
‘
s economic
development and globalization.


现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很
多。


Yet no Spring Festival is plete without food. People
could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier
times
，
something that does not apply to society today.
More often than not
，
people faced the risk of famine. The
best time for people to celebrate was when food was
available in plenty
，
and that was possible in spring
，
or


the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main
reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance
among Chinese people.


但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前
多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿 ，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常
还要闹饥荒。人们的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如
此重要的主要原因。


But three decades of economic growth has ensured that
people in China
，
except for those who are still poor
，
can
enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the
change in people
‘
s fortune that some have to be treated
for obesity and other health problems associated with
excessive eating.


但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人
以外，随时都能 享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也
导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。



In the past
，
celebrations were limited to events like
song- and-dance duets in North China
，
dragon/lion dances in
South China and fireworks
，
which required the joint
efforts of the entire munity. But economic development and
urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among
people. Many
，
especially those living in cities
，
are not
interested in celebrating the festival with people they
hardly know.


在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在 北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等
形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多
人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与 不相识的人一起共度春节。


Many customs associated with Spring Festival have
changed
，
too. In the past
，
people used to visit relatives
and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today
，

many people
，
especially the youth
，
use their cell phones
or the Inter to send their good wishes and even
their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that
people have bee less caring about their near and dear


ones
，
but we should see this development as a time- and
energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.


与春节相关的许多习俗也被改 变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼
物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人
们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了， 但是我们应该把这种变化看作信
息化时代省钱省力的好办法。


In recent times
，
many people have started praying for a
career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or
the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of
their family. But the number of such people is decreasing
now
，
which shows that people are being more reasonable.


最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜
佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁， 家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正
在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。
