春节,一个亲切的词,一个熟悉的词,一个暖暖洋洋的词。一个迎春送旧的节日,一个让人欢天喜地的节日……

春节里最让我们小孩子欢喜的莫过于除夕了。因为除夕那一天晚上可热闹了。家中男女老少都聚首一堂,从远方赶回来的亲戚和家里人诉说着思念之情;许多男人都在一起谈论生意上的事情;许多女人都在厨房忙着做年饭;孩子们则在一边玩着个种游戏。

开饭了,我们大家都坐在饭桌边。我们小孩可最高兴了,因为在吃饭时间可以吃到许许多多美味佳肴。可是你别以为孩子们可都贪吃!我的弟弟就是个例外。在我们吃得满脸是油,一幅馋猫相,他就满地走,碰碰这个,摸摸那个,可好奇了!

吃着了饭,大人们还在不断谈话,不时传出了笑声,气氛融洽到了不时欢声雷动地高举酒杯来干一杯,好一个酒逢知己千杯少。年饭过后,大人们都到客厅或茶厅取去继续谈话。我们小孩子蜂拥地去继续做游戏。

你可不有以为春节就这样结束了,春节还得继续呢!这个接下来就该轮到放烟花的正月初七了。

正月初七,我们一家人买了烟花就直奔空地上去。我们一开始就拿起一根一根的烟花,这种烟花可以拿在手中,只要把它的前头点亮,它就会绽放出五颜六色的烟火。这种烟花叫做“根根亮”。跟着,我们又拿“根根亮”去点“烟花泉”。我们一下子点亮了五个“烟花泉”,“烟花泉”把周围照地十分亮,就如火树银花一样照亮整个天空。我们又点了许许多多“地炮”。“地炮”一点亮,它就在地上“刷,刷,刷”地打转了起来,就像小说中的风火轮一样,在它的身边喷出许多火花。在最后,我们还放了几个大烟花。

春节,这个亲切、熟悉而又暖暖洋洋的词给我们一家带来多少喜悦……

或许春节中食物的消耗比一年中其他时候都要大

Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

大量的传统食物被准备给家人和朋友,同样还有逝去的亲近的人

On New Years Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.

在春节当天,中国家庭将吃一种蔬菜制的名为"jai"(春卷……大概)的食物

Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

尽管春卷里的配料都只是根菜或粗纤维蔬菜,许多人还是把各种迷信方面的事归于它们

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物,包括一整条鱼,来代表团圆和富饶,或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断,因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

在南方,最受喜爱和具代表性的食物是用甜糯米捏成的年糕,另一道受欢迎的美食是用芦苇包上糯米作成的粽子。

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.

在北方,馒头和小甜饺是首选

The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household
