【中国新年禁忌】：

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!” 对每一个你遇到的人道一声：“恭喜发财”，翻译成英文就是：“在新的一年里拥有幸福繁荣的生活”；

Wear articles of red clothing because red symbolizes luck.穿红色布料做成的饰品，因为红色昭示着幸运；

Eat vegetarian food because it's not good to see blood.吃素食，因为见血是不吉利的；

Buy new trousers because the Chinese word for trousers is “fu”,(Chinese homonym for wealth)买新裤子（衣服），因为汉语里裤子就是“服”，（在汉语里与财富的“富”谐音）；

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.孩子应该在除夕之夜尽可能晚睡、熬夜因为据说他们睡的越晚，他们的父母越长寿；

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.拜访亲戚朋友（尤其是比你年长的），传递你对他们来年幸福的美好祝愿（另外孩子和单身的人将会得到装满钱的幸运红包，称为“来喜”。）

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.给每个孩子两份“来喜”（我觉得应该指钱是偶数的），因为好事成双，不要只给一份。这是你把祝愿传递给下一代的方法。企业主（老板）也要给员工和同事红包。

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装，因为这是传统意义上丧事的颜色；

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.不要在新年的第一个月买新鞋，因为在汉语里鞋的发音是“孩”（好像是四川地区的发音），它与叹息”唉“相近，中国人认为这不是新年伊始的好兆头。

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头，因为汉语里“头发”的“发”和“发财”的“发”同音。因此，中国认为在新年伊始把财富给冲走可不是好兆头。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，因为怕把“财”给送走了；

Don't swear or quarrel.不要诅咒发誓，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，否则在来年你可能会遭遇不幸。一旦打破了，要马上说“岁岁平安”，这样坏运气就会被赶走了；

Don't greet people who are in mourning.不要向服丧期的人们问候（主要指不要说喜庆的话吧？）

Don't drop your chopsticks.不要让筷子掉地上；

Don't say the number 'four'(Chinese homonym for death)or mention death.不要说数字“四”（汉语里和“死”谐音）或者提到死；

Don't borrow or lend money.不要借钱也不要借给别人钱。

关于春节的文章，段落，句子，词组，单词英文表达： 下面的这篇文章介绍了中国的传统节日–春节。文章详尽说明了中国人是如何欢度春节的。阅读此文，你可以学会如何用英语表达庆祝春节的习俗，如贴对联、包饺子、放鞭炮、吃团圆饭、拜年等等。

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.恭贺新年。

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.恭贺新禧，祝身体健康、事业发达。

At such a wonderful moment, I send you a gentle and warm care and wish: May every day be brilliant for you!

第三篇：春节习俗英文表达

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.春节庆祝活动是一年中最重要的庆祝活动。中国人庆祝春节的方式可能略微不同，但其愿望几乎是相同的，他们希望其家人和朋友来年健康和幸运。

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.春节庆祝活动通常持续15天。庆祝活动包括春节的年夜饭，放鞭炮，给儿童压岁钱，春节钟声和春节问候。大多数中国人将在春节的第7天停止庆祝活动，因为全国性节假通常在这一天结束，但在公共场所的庆祝活动可能最终持续到正月十五。House Cleaning 房屋打扫

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.春节打扫房屋这个非常古老的习俗甚至可以追溯到几千年前。灰尘在传统上与“旧”联系在一起，所以打扫房屋和扫除灰尘意味着辞“旧”迎“新”。春节的前几天，中国的各家各户都打扫房屋，扫地，清洗日用品，清除蛛网和疏浚沟渠。人们兴高采烈做所有这些事情，希望来年好运。

House decoration 房屋装饰

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.房屋装饰之一就是在门上贴对联。在春联上，抒发良好的祝愿。春联通常是成对张贴，因为双数在中国文化中是好运气和吉祥的象征。

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.在中国北方，人们习惯于在窗户上贴剪纸。人们既在窗户上贴剪纸，又在大门上贴上大大的红色汉字“福”字，一个红色“福”字意味着好运和财富，因此习惯上在婚礼，节日之类的吉祥场合中，人们都会在门或墙上贴“福”字。

Waiting for the First Bell Ringing of Chinese New Year 等待春节的第一声钟鸣

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.第一次钟声是春节的象征。中国人喜欢到一个大广场，那里有为除夕设置的大钟。随着春节的临近，他们开始倒计数并一起庆祝。人们相信了大钟的撞响可以驱除霉运，带来好运。近年来，有些人开始去山上寺庙等待第一次钟声。苏州的寒山寺就非常著名，它的钟声宣布春节的到来。现在有许多外国人也去寒山寺庆祝春节。Staying up late(“Shousui”)熬夜（“守岁”）

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.守岁意味着除夕夜不睡觉。年夜饭后，家人聚坐一起，愉快聊天，等待春节的到来。New Year Feast 年夜饭 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.春节是与家人团聚的时间。年夜饭是所有家庭成员聚在一起“必须”的宴会。除夕宴会上吃的食物根据不同的地区各不相同。在中国南方，习惯吃“年糕”（糯米粉制成的新年糕点），因为作为一个同音字，年糕意味着“步步高升”。在北方，年夜饭的传统饭是“饺子”或像月牙儿形的汤圆。

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.放鞭炮曾是春节庆祝活动中最重要的习俗之一。然而，担心燃放鞭炮可能会带来危险和烦人的噪音，政府已在许多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城镇和农村地区的人们仍然坚持这种传统的庆祝活动。除夕夜一旦时钟撞响午夜12点钟，城市和乡镇都被烟花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。一家人熬夜就为这个欢乐的时刻，孩子们一手拿鞭炮，一手拿火机兴高采烈地点放着他们在这个特殊节日的快乐，尽管他们吓得捂着耳朵。New Year Greetings(Bai Nian)春节的问候（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.在春节第一天或此后不久，大家都穿着新衣服，带着弓向亲戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜（祝贺），彼此祝愿在新的一年里好运，幸福。在中国农村，有些村民可能有数以百计的亲戚，所以他们不得不拿出两个多星期来走亲访友。

On the first day of the new year, it’s customary for the younger generations to visit the elders, wishing them healthy and longevity.春节第一天，按习惯，小一辈人要拜见老一辈，祝愿他们健康长寿。

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.因为探亲访友花费大量时间，所以，现在有些忙碌的人就送春节贺卡来表达他们的良好祝愿，而不是亲自去拜访。Lucky Money 压岁钱

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 “lucky 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.这是孩子们的父母和祖父母给他们作为春节礼物的钱。压岁钱据说能带来好运，能驱魔；因此，就有了“压岁钱”的称呼。父母和祖父母先把钱放入特制的小红包里，年夜饭后或当孩子们来拜年时，将红包发给他们。他们之所以要把钱放到红包里，是因为中国人认为红色是个幸运色。他们想给自己孩子既有压岁钱还有幸运色。

第五篇：英文表达

相信大家对Chinglish早已经见怪不怪了，就连上世纪30年代逐字翻译的中式英语Long time no see(很久不见)，也大张旗鼓地进入了英语标准词组的“领地”。当然这不过属于“中式逐字翻译原创版”，老外们看后莞尔一笑也就过去了。但有些情况则不同，已有的英文词句的表意往往并非是单词的真正意思，如果一不留神就会酿成“英语尴尬”，闹笑话不说，表错了意有时还会带来不少误会。就像一位博友在加拿大的亲身经历——他刚到加拿大的时候看到很多大厦门口都有smoke free的标志，因此由衷地感叹道：“加拿大就是好，抽烟都免费。”
