春节是中国最隆重的节日，过了春节，就意味着新的一年开始了，就意味着我们又长了一岁，就意味着我们应该更懂事一些了。在春节这天，到处都是喜气洋洋的，人人嘴边都会挂着一丝微笑。

大年三十的晚上，街上最为热闹，到处张灯结彩，小孩子嘴里叼着糖块，在街上放着各式各样的烟花，偶尔也会有几个大人们放起了爆竹，有的孩子欢呼起来，有的孩子索性用手捂住耳朵，还有更小的孩子则吓得跑回了家。

这年春节，和往常有些不一样，妈妈帮我张罗了一桌丰盛的佳肴，邀请了几个最要好的朋友来我家吃饺子，妈妈包饺子时还在八个饺子里放了硬币，说谁吃到了硬币饺子谁今年就有好运，结果我和妈妈还有一个小朋友各吃到了二个带着硬币的饺子。

春晚结束后，妈妈拿来了一大瓶饮料，和我们做猜迷语游戏，方法是由妈妈出迷语，我和几个小朋友轮流猜，猜对的奖励一小杯饮料，猜不出或猜错的不但没有饮料喝，还要表演一个小节目。

时间在钟表的嘀哒声中过去了，半小时后，饮料解决完毕，我和小朋友们个个都坐在椅子上，不停地打着饱嗝，有的还不停地上厕所。

休息了一会儿，玩的兴头又上来了，大家拿起烟花就往外跑，开始和外面的大人小孩放了起来，我也不甘落后，去年买的两百元烟花还剩下不少呢。没过多久，装着满满的烟花的袋子就空了肚子。

“天下没有不散的宴席”，朋友们在爆竹声和欢笑声中告别了。

大家走后，妈妈又开始忙着收拾碗筷，我也过来帮妈妈的忙。虽然妈妈说不用我，可我还是帮妈妈收拾完才休息。

年夜饭吃完了，春节也过了，新的一年就开始了，我长大了一岁，也变得更懂事了，新的一年里，我要好好学习，以优异的成绩回报妈妈对我的爱。

一个简单的故事，一个平凡的老人，一条普通的大马林鱼，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。

这本书讲了古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的84天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大，拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺死，拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

读完这篇小说，我发现，老人的故事不仅象征着人与自然的关系，而且象征着整个人类坚不可摧的精神。在现实中，他虽然失败了，但在精神上，他却是胜利者。在这里，老人不仅仅是代表着一个人，而是代表了一股力量，一种精神，那是让人敬佩的坚韧不拔，永不服输的精神。我也十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志,他让我懂得了一个人一定要坚强，不能遇到一点挫折就败退，这样永远也做不成一件事。

The Spring Festival is one of the most I love the Spring Festival, every family is decorated, bursting with happiness. This years Spring Festival, I had a very interesting time.

In the morning, our family was busy. Mother has a spring couplet on the gate. In my eyes, "Li Li Chun resident, people and Fuyong stay". It means family peace and happiness. I will help my mother to stick the word "Fu" on the door. My mother quickly stopped me, said: "the word" happiness "should lose," happiness "is to come to our home homophonic, fu. The Spring Festival couplets are festive, wealth, with auspicious meaning." I heard, quickly put the "blessing" upside down.

In the evening, its time to eat dinner. The kitchen was filled with fragrance; a great dinner was placed on the table to make people look, the mouth water. There is a fish in the middle of the table, which means that there is more than one year. The guests were all here, sitting in front of the table with joy, and tasting the evening meal with relish. Mom and dad greeted the guests with a smile. The whole family was happy and happy, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After dinner, the grandmother said, "there is a legend about the origin of the year: according to legend, in ancient times, our ancestors had been threatened by the fiercest beast. This beast is called "year", it hunt animals for food, in the winter, the lack of food, but also broke into the village, hunting and livestock, people in a constant state of anxiety. People have struggled with "year" for many years. People have found that they are afraid of three kinds of things, red color, fire and noise. So in winter people in peach zigumen hang Confidante color, in front of the fire, the night all night without sleep, hammering. That night, the "year" broke into the village, see families have red light and heard the noise, scared back to the mountains, no longer afraid to come out. After that, we are playing with fireworks.

众人之息以喉,屈服者,其嗌言若哇。——《庄子》

(1).曲折起伏。《庄子·大宗师》：“众人之息以喉。屈服者，其嗌言若哇。” 成玄英 疏：“屈折起伏，气不调和，咽喉之中恒如哇碍也。”

(2).降服;折服。《吕氏春秋·应同》：“故割地寳器，卑辞屈服，不足以止攻，惟治为足。”《后汉书·宋意传》：“强者为雄，弱者即屈服。”《南史·隐逸传下·马枢》：“王欲极观优劣，乃谓众曰：‘与 马学士 论议，必使屈服，不得空立客主。’” 宋 窦苹 《酒谱·醉圣》：“ 李白 每大醉为文，未尝差误，与醒者语无不屈服，人目为‘醉圣’。” 曹禺 《家》第三场：“你只知道跟恶势力妥协屈服，一天天走上庸俗昏瞆的路。”

The Spring Festival, the most important festival of our Chinese nation, heralds the coming of a New Year, and all the families are beaming with joy. On New Years eve, the sound of firecrackers rang through the sky, and people sang and danced, a scene of hot and hot air.

Although the Spring Festival is busy, do you know how Spring Festival comes? Once upon a time, there was a monster named nian, who often bullied people in the mountains in winter. Some wanted to get rid of it, and some wanted to get rid of it. One day, nian came again, and many people were attacked at home. Only a few doors hung with red curtains, and no one was hurt by the fire or knocking at the door, so people in the mountain knew about the three things. When the year came, people used these three things to drive away the monster, and they never dared to hurt people. From generation to generation, the custom of Chinese New Year is formed.

I like the Spring Festival, because some of the delicious popcorn and good drinks, and other kinds of toys.

In recent years, with the strong, our nations leaders also began at the time of the Spring Festival, speeches or articles to the festive greetings to the Chinese in their home country, the Chinese New Year is becoming more and more influential in the world.

What a great forest! Today is the Spring Festival party in the forest, on the ground, flying in the sky all go to see the Spring Festival Gala.

The host is the thrush bird and the canary, which first speaks fluently about some blessings, and then please go to the singer &mdash in the forest; — the puppy.

When the puppy came to power, he said, “ what song do you love to hear me most? ” the animals say in a different voice: “ spring ”. The puppy sang, &ldquo, Wangwang, spring sprouts, spring flowers opened … … ” after listening to the puppy song, the animals applauded the puppy singer down.

The second play is the fox, the fox came on, he sang the song of the fox fox: “ squeak, our mouth is so sharp, so big eyes … … “, listening to the fox singing, we laugh together not so please clap down the fox mouth side. The third is the peacock. When the peacock comes to the stage, she starts to jump up &ldquo. The dance of Spring Festival &rdquo, her head is wearing gold crown, wearing bright clothes and graceful dancing. Animals cant help saying, &ldquo, they jump too well, &rdquo.

Two kids came, they came to power, to everyone bowed, then bleating for everyone to ask a good start to drop, some ball in their hands is very obedient, look at the dazzling animal.

Nbsp; after the end of the spring party, the animals walked out of the studio.

The Spring Festival is the Chinese New Years day. The annual lunar New Year is coming again, at five o clock in the morning of 29th annual mom and dad took me from sleep pulled up, I wash a face, a little hurry to eat breakfast, mom and dad took me carry the luggage to the station, a train going to my grandmas New Years day. After a day of travel, finally came to the grandmothers house, the grandmother saw us very happy.

The morning of the New Years eve, everyone is busy to stick couplets, red lantern, a thriving scene. Grandma made a pot of paste in the morning, I and dad busy stick up, I painted the paste on the wall, father stick couplets on the wall, top allied is: smooth fortunes to allied is: all the best fook lam moon guangpi: treasures will be plentiful. Finally, the father stood a few red lanterns hanging up on the chair.

In the evening, eat dinner, my grandmother took a table very rich food side, the family open happy heart eat it, after eating, they give me the money, Im very happy. We keep waiting in front of the television after the beginning of the Spring Festival gala, unknowingly at eight o clock in the evening, the Spring Festival gala, there is a crosstalk, singing and dancing, and sketch... To the eye. The zero point of the bell is ringing, the people of the whole country has entered the countdown on TV "ten, nine, eight..." The outside is playing "or" firecrackers.

The first day, I put on new clothes, mom and dad took me, carrying a gift to elder happy New Year, everywhere, I will receive a red envelope, also can eat to various delicacies, and delicious sweets.

过春节也就是过年。一年一度的春节又要来临了，大年二十九日早上五点，爸爸妈妈把我从睡梦中揪起来，我洗完脸，匆忙的吃了一点早饭，爸爸妈妈带着我提着行李往车站赶去，乘车去外婆家过年。经过一天的奔波，终于来到了外婆家，外婆见了我们非常高兴。

除夕的早上，大家都忙着贴对联，挂灯笼，好一片红红火火的景象。早上外婆搞了一盆浆糊，我和爸爸忙的贴了起来，我在墙上涂浆糊，爸爸在墙上贴对联，上联是：一帆风顺吉星到下联是：万事如意福临门横批：财源广进。最后，爸爸站在椅子上把几个红灯笼挂了起来。

到了傍晚，吃年夜饭了，外婆把一桌非常丰富的饭菜端了上来，一家人开开心心的吃了起来，吃完后，大人们都给我了压岁钱，我非常高兴。之后，我们一家守在电视机前等待着春节联欢晚会的开始，不知不觉的到了晚上八点，春节联欢晚会开始了，里面有相声，歌舞，和小品……好看极了。零点的钟声即将敲响时，电视里全国人民已经进入了倒计时“十，九，八……”外面已经响起了“噼里啪啦”的鞭炮声。我们也不例外，也在门口放了起来。外面的烟花五颜六色，漂亮极了!

正月初一，我穿上了新衣服，爸爸妈妈带着我，提着礼品去给长辈拜年，每到一处，我都会收到一个红包，还能吃到各家的美味佳肴，还有好吃的糖果。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节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。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.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.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在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。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 complete 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。人们最好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 community. 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 Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become 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 becoming 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。
