拜年英语表达（精品20篇）

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. Thats why you pay him/her.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devils workshop.

And the devils name is Alzheimers."

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether its family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Dont take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next country, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

一些无关紧要的数字不要挂怀，包括你的年龄、体重和身高。让医生来操心吧。因为他们收了你的报酬。

结交快乐的朋友。整日愁眉不展只能让你雪上加霜。

享受简单事物的乐趣。

多笑，开怀大笑。上气不接下气地笑。

有泪就流。在忍耐和伤心过后，要继续前行。陪伴我们度过此生的只有一人－－那就是我们自己。让生命鲜活起来。

让你的所爱包围着你，无论是家人、宠物、纪念品、音乐、植物、爱好，什么都好。你的家就是避风港。

珍惜健康：如果它还好端端的，就好好地保护它。如果它反复无常，就调养好它。如果你已无力改善它了，就请别人帮忙吧。

别踏上犯罪的道路。你可以去逛街，可以到邻县去，可以出国旅行，但就是别踏上犯罪的道路。

把你的爱告诉你所爱着的人们，把握住每一个表达机会。

千万记住：度量生命的不是呼吸的次数，而是那些最最难忘的时刻。

In different wind, thousands of the different customs. Every place has the custom of every place.

My hometown is in hunan, where the custom of the Chinese New Year is very interesting. On December 29 (New Years eve), our family size around the reunion dinner together, we pay attention to the family reunion dinner, we eat must have three details: fish, chicken, meat. Must be steamed fish, the fish will also enlarge of peppers, such a symbol of wealth, and every year more than one million head. The chicken must be a rooster. Meat is the bacon, our bacon is not like sichuan there steamed, but with eating Fried  string beans, so eat very delicious, especially with chewy. After dinner, well shou sui, the family around together, happy, talk about the experience of the year suantiankula.

On the first morning, we quietly like mom and dad say something geely (New Year), so that we can get an orange and one is, such as a symbol of good luck. Happy New Year and then well go out to others, others will set off firecrackers to greet us, said the hunan peoples enthusiastic and hospitable and friendly.

Look, we celebrate the Spring Festival is not same as you? Would you like to come to our hunan Spring Festival?

There are a lot of annual public holidays in China, such as Labors Day, Childrens Day and National Day. But I think we should celebrate another holiday -- Farmers Day.

Why should there be Farmers Day?

First of all, China is a large agfieukural country. The majority of the population is farmers. Farmers play a vital role in China. They provide food, without which we cannot live. Also, farmers support industry with various kinds of raw materials.

Most farmers work hard from dawn to dusk, with little time to rest or entertain themselves.

Some people look down upon farmers because they think they do not do "mental labor."

I suggest there should be a Farmers Day to show respect for the 800 million farmers in China. This would help people realize the contributions farmers make to society and would raise their social status.

The new year is a traditional program in the Spring Festival, and my family is no exception. The first day of the year of the tiger, I got up early, put on new clothes up, with mom and dad to pay New Years call aunt Lee home.

When the car was at the door of Aunt Lis house, I saw a red red spring couplet on her broad gate, brand new and new. On both sides of the door is still hanging high big red lanterns. Before I entered the house, I felt the strong festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Mother knew I was a "not sweet" child. Before knocking on the door, I made a special urge to tell me, "baby, you have to take the initiative to see my uncle and aunt!" "Good!" I readily agreed. As my mother pressed the bell, I was secretly prepared for new years new years blessings. I didnt think that when Aunt Li opened the door, my heart was like a cat scratched. It shrinks back to the mouth. When it comes to the mouth, it is scared away. At this time, her mother anxious to touch my hand, as if to remind me to say: "hurry up, hurry up!" The more anxious my mother was, the more I could not speak, the worst thing was that I was so nervous that I forgot the ready blessings. Whats good to say? I am as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and this should let my mother be disappointed. Suddenly a word in my mind blurted out, "congratulations on a fortune, a red bag!" The adult present was first Leng, and then laughed. In the wrong way, I sly looked at my mother and found her face red. Aunt Lee looked at busy smiled and said "it is really lovely children, Xiao zheng!"

Think of it, my heart will have a sense of shame, will think what time you can be generous. It will be an unforgettable star in my growing up.

拜年是春节里的一个传统节目，我家也不例外。虎年的第一天，我起了个大早，穿上漂漂亮亮的新衣服，随着爸爸妈妈来到李阿姨家拜年。

当汽车停在李阿姨家门口时，我一眼就看到她家宽阔的大门上贴着一幅红红的春联，崭新崭新的。大门两侧还高高地挂着红彤彤的大灯笼。还没进屋，我就感受到了春节浓浓的节日气氛。妈妈知道我是一个“嘴巴不甜”的孩子，敲门之前特意叮嘱我：“宝贝，见到叔叔阿姨你可要主动问好哦！”“好的！”我爽快地答应了。趁着妈妈摁门铃时，我暗暗地在心里准备着新年祝福语。没想到的是，当李阿姨打开门后，我的心就像被猫抓了一下，缩了回去，刚到嘴边的话被吓得无影无踪，张大着嘴巴停在了半空中。这时，妈妈着急地碰了碰我的手，好象在提醒我：“快点说呀，快点说呀！”妈妈越着急我越说不出来，最糟糕的是我竟然紧张得把准备好的祝福语给忘了。说什么好呢？我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，这下又该让妈妈失望了。突然我的脑海里闪过一句话，脱口而出：“恭喜发财，红包拿来！”在场的大人先是一愣，接着哈哈大笑起来。又说错了，我偷偷地瞄了妈妈一眼，发现妈妈的脸都涨红了。李阿姨见状忙笑着说“真是童言无忌，筱铮真可爱！”

一想起这件事，我心里就会有种羞羞的感觉，就会想着什么时候自己能够变大方呀。它将成为我成长过程中一颗难忘的星。

春节拜年一个传统的习俗，今天是大年初二，按照中国的传统习俗，是人们相互拜年的日子。奶奶说：“一会儿会有许多人到家里来。”果然，我们刚吃过早饭，门铃就响了。

我连忙跑过去开门，把客人让进屋里。走在最前面的是一个看上去只有两三岁模样的小男孩。他长着胖乎乎的脸蛋，两道又粗又黑的眉毛下，一双水灵灵的大眼睛忽闪忽闪的，一看就知道是个小机灵鬼。只见他笑咪咪地跑到我的爷爷奶奶跟前，捧起双手对着爷爷奶奶连连作揖，嘴里还不停地喊着：“爷爷奶奶新年好，身体健康，万事如意。”后面跟上来的一对年轻夫妇，也笑容满面地说：“叔叔，阿姨新年好。”“好，好，新年好。”爷爷奶奶一边忙着回应，一边招呼客人坐下。此时只见奶奶乐得眼睛眯成了一条缝，脸上的皱纹也消失了许多。爷爷更是容光焕发，忙得团团转，一会儿抓糖果，一会儿抓瓜子，不停地招呼着客人。通过爷爷的介绍，我才知道原来这是楼上的邻居来给爷爷奶奶拜年了。

此后这一整天，家里的客人们不断地来来往往。笑声、谈话声充满了整个房间，爷爷奶奶也忙碌了一整天，虽然他们有些疲惫，但心情却是非常得舒畅。

过年可真热闹！我希望天天过年，这样爷爷奶奶就能天天这样开心了。

拜年是中国民间的传统习俗，是人们辞旧迎新、相互表达美好祝愿的一种方式。下面就是小编整理的中国拜年英语作文，一起来看一下吧。 拜年高中英文作文篇一：拜年作文

Dear Friends,

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by

adding the extra visiting without your permission.

I had no intention of intruding on your personal life. In China, arranging

interesting leisure activities for visitors is a common way to show welcome.

However, as your receptionist, I should have realized that you are inclined to

regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by

unplanned matters.

Im really sorry that I didnt check with you before making such

incomsiderate arrangement .All I can say is that it wont happen again.

Sincerely,

LiLi

Dear Anne,

get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for

you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so, please dont hesitate to

drop me a line about your preferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with

you.

Please allow me to say sorry again.

Regards,

Li Ming

made some special arrangements for my visit with you parents and friends. I am

very sorry about all that. I am sure you will be sympathetic, however, when I

tell you that my father is dangerously ill in hospital, and that I found it

impossible to leave for the visit when he is in this state.

My father was working very hard on his project on protecting the

environment. I know the project has come to a very important stage. He and his

assistants did not take regular rest for three weeks. Last night, my father had

a heart attack and was soon sent to the hospital. The doctor said my father was

in a very serious situation, and, he might need an operation.

24 hours have passed. Nothing has changed. I have to stay at the hospital.

I will let you know if there is any good news.

I am sorry again and look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Williams

An important activity during the Spring Festival is bainian (to pay a New Year call). People start to pay New Year calls from the lunar New Years Day, that is, the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Ever since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, ordinary people have begun to exchange greeting cards on this day.

春节期间的重要活动是拜年。人们从农历新年，也就是，农历的第一个月的第一天就开始拜年了。自从十四世纪明朝开始普通人在这一天也开始交换贺卡。

On the morning of the lunar New Years Day, people get up very early and call on others. The earlier one does so, the more sincere he is. Moreover, people wear new clothes and a new cap, symbolizing that a new year has begun.

在农历新年的早上，人们起得很早拜访别人。越早越有诚意。此外，人们还会穿上新衣服，戴新帽，这象征着新的一年开始了。

The younger generation should call on their elders first, such as the grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, wishing them "Good health" and "Long life". Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift. After that, people call on their relatives, friends and neighbors. As "big tangerine" is a homonym for "very lucky" in Chinese, so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call.

年轻的一代去拜访他们的长辈，如爷爷，奶奶，爸爸，妈妈，祝他们“健康”、“长寿”。然后，长辈会给孩子们红包作为新年礼物。在那之后，人们给亲戚，朋友和邻居拜年。由于“大橘子”是“很幸运”的中文谐音，所以人们常常把红色大橘子作为拜年礼物。

Nowadays, besides greeting cards, people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls.

如今，除了贺卡，人们还用电话和电子邮件进行拜年。

Dear John,

I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these

years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to

inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the

earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you

please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you

wait.

By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am

of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and

carry a China Daily at hand.

Hope we can meet soon.

Sincerely yours,

In big cities, New Years eve, everyone is wearing new clothes, and then clean my own house, stick couplets, buying necessities and then put buy new flowers and plants. In the evening, every family prepare rich reunion dinner. After people eat the reunion dinner, on the provisions of sections with fireworks, or watch the Spring Festival gala on TV at home.

Country in the New Years eve is this: early in the morning, people got up. Put on new clothes, just in front of their own stick couplets, families of all hang the red lanterns in the yard. At night, every household lanterns are lit, thriving. Every door "beginning" is the firecrackers. Everybody from house to house visit everywhere, very lively.

On the first day, the people of the city and the country, with the necessities and some go to the temple shakily. Some relatives go to friend home happy New Year; Have a go out to play together.

This is the custom of the Chinese people the Chinese New Year.

Dear David:

I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having

answered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you the

reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your

letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me

during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment

when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you

these few lines to express my deep regret.

I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give

you an account to of them when I see you next.

Sincerely yours,

Today is the day, is also a time for New Year, I got up early in the morning, I want to go with my father and mother and sister happy New Year.

My parents let me together with my sister to her sisters classmate house New Year, I a listen to worry about mom and dad said: "I dont know her sisters classmate, how to speak? I still go to my classmates house." Mom and dad said: "you are always quiet, this will give you the opportunity to exercise, look at you!" Is really no way, I had to bite the bullet and go with sister. As they walked along, I think: sisters classmate look like? Met what should I say "hello"?

Unconsciously, we have reached a sister classmate home, did not think of sister was borrowed to give her students make up a missed lesson in the name of the New Year. I on one side secretly worried: all blame parents disorderly arrangement, I also did not give my classmate happy New Year! Elder sister busy introduce me to the classmates parents, I hurriedly say: "uncle aunt New Years day good!" Then, her sisters classmate called to her little sister to accompany me to play, we age, together play of very happy.

Finally, the elder sister finally to fill her classmates after class. My sister and I a happy home. My todays harvest is strengthened my communication skills, I will continue to work hard.

When pigs fly

猪可不能飞起来!这是不可能的事，因此正是成语本身想表达的意思。例如，当你听到有人说，"Do you think Mary will quit her job now that shes pregnant?"另一个人就回答，"Yeah, when pigs fly! There is no way she is giving up her career!"当他或她在使用表达方式 when pigs fly时，意思是Mary绝对不可能辞职。

Get in someones hair

如果你get in someones hair，你并没有爬到别人的头上!其实，意思是你烦扰到了他们-可能是你侵入了他们的私人空间。例如"Susan was trying to prepare dinner, but her children were getting in her hair!" 意思是Susan的孩子们在她做饭的时候烦她。如果有人烦扰到了你，你就可以说，"Get out of my hair!"

Hit the ceiling

天花板可离我们的头远着呢，那么要撞上天花板也不是件容易的事-除非你非常生气!如果有人hits the ceiling意思是他们正表现出非常生气的样子。例如，"When Carols son got an F on his report card, she hit the ceiling!"意思是Carol对她儿子考试不及格非常的愤怒。

Knock someones socks off

现在，要pull掉别人的袜子还有些可能-但是要knock掉别人的袜子要该怎么做呢?当然是通过让他们惊奇兴奋并印象深刻喽!例如，"You should see Toms new car! Itll knock your socks off, its so amazing!"意思是Tom的车令人称奇!

Bite the bullet

如果要试着咬一颗子弹味道会是怎样呢?不太好吧。那么为什么会有人bite the bullet呢?只有在勇敢的忍受或面对困难的处境时他们才会这么做。例如"She had to bite the bullet and give in to her bosss unreasonable demands."意思是她在老板提出苛刻要求时表现的勇敢坚强。

Drive someone up a wallpigs

车是不能开到墙上去的，那么谁能drive you up a wall?是惹你讨厌的人!例如，"My mom is driving me up a wall! She wont ever let me stay out late."意思是母亲不让我在外面呆得晚让我感到非常的讨厌。
