拜年英语表达20篇

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West.The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar,so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese,the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Years Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar.But the 15th of the first month,which normally is called the Lantern Festival,means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

In different wind, thousands of 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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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。

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

I reached yawn, thought, today cant stay in bed! Because today is my long-awaited homonym, the first day of the New Year, I want to give the full blessing to all the relatives and friends! I cant wait to put on new clothes, back my beloved little bag, with aunt to buy me a hat.

Dress up after, I ran downstairs with grandma and grandpa said: "happy New Year!"

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。

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。

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。
