关于春节的英语作文带翻译初一800字(汇总20篇)

According to the report that most children in the family don’t have to the housework, because their parents have done all the work for them. When students go to middle school, it means they are not the little girls and little boys anymore, they have grown up and it is time for them to learn to be independent. Doing the housework and reducing the parents’ burden help the children to be mature, what’s more, the parents should not overprotect their kids all the time, they can give some jobs to the children and lead them to be independent. Doing the housework is not a big deal, but it is the attitude to life.

据报道,大多数孩子在家里不用做家务,因为他们的父母为他们做了所有的工作。当学生进入中学,这意味着他们不是小女孩和小男孩,他们已经长大了,是时候让他们学会独立。做家务和减少父母的负担帮助孩子成熟,更重要的是,父母不应该过度保护他们的孩子,他们可以给孩子们一些工作,让他们独立。做家务不是一个大问题,但它是一种对生活的态度。

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies and some other desserts for dinner.After supper, the families always sing and dance around the Christmas tree.Sometimes, they also go to church.Before going to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that Father Christmas will fill them with presents.It is said that Father Christmas always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the chimney.Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

晚上，家里面通常都有吃布丁，三明治，苹果派还有一些其它的甜点作为晚餐。晚饭后，家人们总是围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞。有时，他们还会去教堂。睡觉前，孩子们常常会把长统袜挂在床边，这样圣诞老人就会用礼物把它填满了。据说圣诞老人总是骑着一只鹿到人类，之后从烟囱进入每个房子。现在的孩子不再相信圣诞老人的故事了，但他们仍然会挂上他们的袜子，因为他们的父母会用礼物把它填满。

众所周知，各个地区的春节习俗各不同，如：冰心奶奶文章中的“耍花会”、“拜祖宗”、“烧烟花”;上海人家的“接灶君”、“吃颇有来头的年夜菜”、“吃守岁酒”;闽台人家的“午时茶”、“彩春卷”……许多精彩绝伦的习俗活动，而广州春节的习俗活动也别具特色。

年前，大人们忙于为家里添补新衣。除夕，奶奶和妈妈熟练地用双手包出一个个圆嘟嘟，白花花的生面煎堆。然后，我和姐姐用瓦盘将生面煎堆一个又一个地垒成金字塔状，一趟趟运向目的地——厨房。最后，经过爸爸和爷爷的“神厨手”——一个个金灿灿的炸煎堆带着油香和对新一年一家人团团圆圆的新年愿望出炉了。那阵阵香味馋得我们几个小孩子直流口水。

大年三十，妈妈上街买来几盘蔬菜，并将它们端正的摆放在客厅中央，这令我大为不解，问道：“妈妈，您为什么要买这几盘蔬菜?它们又分别寓意些什么?”

妈妈听后莞尔一笑，说道：“呐，这是一盘葱苗，寓意你们会再来年变得更聪明;这是一盘蒜苗，寓意你们在未来的日子里精打细算，不浪费一寸光阴;哦，还有，这是一盘胡萝卜苗，寓意我们将天天鸿运当头!”

当天晚上，我和妈妈一起去楼下串门，一进门，我就马上说吉祥话：“恭喜发财”，“身体健康”……叔叔阿姨们就不停地给我们红包，就连生活拮据的老阿婆也给了我们一个二十元的红包。然而，进门时，我发现他们家家都在客厅最明显的地方摆上几盘蔬菜。

大年初一，妈妈带我们去给长辈拜年，一路上，我不停地对长辈们说：“祝您恭喜发财”、“祝您身体健康”“祝您青春永驻”……

长辈们便会给我们许多红包，收得我们手抽筋。晚上，妈妈郑重地递给我和姐姐各一份“压睡钱”(压岁钱)并吩咐我们一定要把它们放在枕头下睡一觉。

元宵节吃过长辈做的素汤圆、用年前买的几盘蔬菜拔出来做了一盘色香味俱全的斋后，广州的春节所带来的热闹才慢慢平息下来……

这就是我最喜欢的节日——春节，这就是我最喜欢的春节习俗：“做煎堆”、“买蔬菜”、“收红包”、“枕着压岁钱睡觉”!

It’s New Year again. In this holiday, sharing is the hottest activity. People share their lives and discuss hot topic in social lives. Besides, there are many traditions during the Spring Holiday. For example, in the north, people will eat dumplings in the New Year’s Day while in the south people will make Zongzi. Firecrackers and fireworks are essential during the New Year. Now, people live a much better life than before, so people want to have a lively and grand festival. Some are likely to travel while some stay at home and take part in various activities to enrich their holiday.

春节又到了。在节日期间，分享成了最受欢迎的活动。人们分享自己的生活，讨论社会生活热点话题。此外，春节也有许多的传统。例如，北方人会在春节第一天吃饺子，南方人则会包粽子。鞭炮和烟花是必不可少的。现在，人们的生活比过去有了很大改变，所以人们希望把春节过得热闹而隆重。有的人选择外出旅游，有的人则是留在家里参加各种活动，丰富自己的节日生活。

Before the Chinese Spring Festival,everyone is very busy.They want the Spring Festival to be a new beginning,so everyone is busy cleaning the room.They keep the room tidy.This is the first thing to welcome the Spring Festival.

The elderly take children to buy snacks and fireworks.But parents just stay at home to make tasty meals for dinner.On the evening of New Year’s Eve,my parents and my sister have dinner with me.We have a good time.After dinner,Oh!Yeah!My father is ready to give us red pockets.Oh,how nice the red pockets are!My sister and I both all say,“Peace all year round to my parents!Now,give us red pockets.” My parents give us the red pockets at once with a smile on their faces.

What a wonderful time we have!

I think “Everything goes well” this year!

我的老家呀，就在那个屯儿……今天就要讲讲老家的重中之重——春节。

春节在腊月的初旬差不多就开始了。腊八是一年之中最冷的日子，各家各户都开启了熬粥的旅程。腊八粥里有红枣、大米、桂圆等食材。奶奶熬的粥，可香可香了。还有让我回味已久的就是我爸的一手好手艺。这天还要泡腊八蒜，先放醋，然后再放蒜，蒜有了醋味，醋也有了辣味儿，那色泽真叫一个漂亮啊!

二十四那一天打扫卫生，是我家最忙的时候。人人发动，每个人都分配到了自己的任务，我们全家六口人全出动，把家里打扫得干干净净。

终于，除夕来了，我是家中最高兴的一员，因为今年是我的本命年，我是要守岁的。一大早，一股香味儿就争先恐后地进入鼻子里，不用说，肯定是慈祥的奶奶在做菜。咦?一看不是。我飞快地奔向厨房，哦，原来是我那“良家必备好男人”——爸爸在做菜，味道太棒了，大厨呀!这一天，家家户户的人都穿上了漂亮的新衣，我和弟弟争着贴美丽的对联，我贴，我贴，争来争去。大门上还贴着关公、张云的画像，让他们保护我们一家人。

正月初一，我们老早就起来了，给爸妈和爷爷奶奶拜年，当然重要的事是要压岁钱了。吃完中午饭，爸爸就开着车带我们出去玩了。去哪儿呢?先去吴村吧。因为车太多，过不去，又掉头去了郑州。爷爷去给他的亲戚啊、朋友啊拜年，奶奶就在家招待客人。

街上的店铺一般都在初六开张。大早晨放一挂鞭炮，就算开门了。

正月十五的早上，奶奶吃完饭就开始了包子大战。不到一个小时，每个包子都鼓着小小的肚子出来了。还有那玲珑剔透的蒸饺、炖鱼、糖醋大虾、等……各种各样的美味菜都在盘子里打滚呢。大街上挂着红红的大灯笼，而比较小的孩子手里拿着纸灯笼，甚是好看。家里门口都点着蜡烛。这一天，家家户户都在吃汤圆，象征着团团圆圆，真是快乐、美好的日子呀。

一眨眼正月十七，一个月过去了，美好的年和寒假已经悄悄地过去了。学生们到了该上学的日子，而大人们又照常去做事。天气渐渐转暖，大家也去准备着干农活了。

虽然我们是农村的，可农村的年也跟城市的年一起过呀，而且比城市的年过得还热闹呢。嘻嘻，年真的太好了。

今年的除夕晚上我们家可热闹了，叔叔他们一家和姐姐她们一家都要来我家吃年夜饭。 This years New Years Eve is lively. Uncle and their sisters have come to my house for New Years Eve dinner.

傍晚时分他们都陆续的来了，等他们都到齐了之后，我们大家举杯互相祝福，辞旧迎新。在快乐喜气的气氛中们边吃边说，耳边不时传来噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，忽然，一声巨响，把我吓了一跳，接着“劈

劈啪怕”响了起来，四周一片灿烂辉煌。

我赶紧跑到阳台上去看，哇!好美呀!天空中好像天女散花一样：这边一个流星窜上天空刚爆炸，那边一串烟火就不甘落后地飞散开来;左边的百字炮噼里啪啦 刚停，

右边的“吉祥三宝”礼花就哧哧喷射……烟花把整个天空照射得像白天一样，周围的高楼大厦反射出烟花的影子，烟花又照亮了高楼的轮廓，不知道是烟花让高楼更明，还是高楼让烟花更亮。

虽然新年的钟声已经响过，但是我们谁也没有困意，有的只是开心快乐和兴奋，我们都争先恐后的祝愿着爸爸妈妈在新的一年里身体健康!爸爸妈妈也祝愿我们在新的一年里健康成长，学习更上一层楼!

长辈发压岁钱红包，是中国春节的传统习俗。和大多数同学不一样，除了传统红包外，我常常收到一份另类的、私人定制版的“红包”。这究竟是怎么回事呢？

那就先从大外公的人生经历说起吧！

大外公年少时家境贫困，交学费时捉襟见肘。教材需向同桌借着看；曾外祖父揣着5分钱借遍所有的邻居，凑不齐6分钱买半斤盐；当时家里难得才能吃一次白米饭，大外公就将自己在学校的口粮省出来，带回家过年吃。如此窘境比比皆是。在同学和邻居的帮助下，大外公一边劳动一边读书，完成了小中高的学业。日子虽清苦，学习生涯却很丰富多彩：第一次看电影，第一次使用显微镜，第一次接触五线谱，第一次进阅览室……

第一次参加高考时，大外公辗转汽车、火车来到金华，晚上蚊帐里满是臭虫，不得不在婺江边的窄石凳上躺到天亮，匆匆吃了早饭就参加考试，却不幸落榜。第二次高考时，大外公边在家乡帮助办学，边自主复习，考取了杭州师范大学，我几乎能想象大外公站在校园中，贪婪地注视着，欢呼着“我，是一名大学生了！”大外公怀着为国育才的理想，在永康西溪中学、永康二中、明珠学校种桃种李种春风，一种就是四十二年。

莫道桑榆晚，微霞尚满天。这位耄耋老人，至今都行走在传播中国文化的道路上，虽然步子缓慢，却坚定。 退休后的大外公乐于发挥余热，不仅在金华市老年大学任教两个诗词班，还担任金华市婺城区诗词楹联学会会长一职。

每次拜年时，大外公除了给我压岁钱外，还附赠另类的“文化红包”，那就是亲自签名的著作，如《历代诗词曲释评》、《中华新韵（十四韵）新编》、《婺城对联集成》等。抚摸着写着“韵佳侄外孙女惠存”的书，聆听着大外公的谆谆教诲，我感到特别温暖，特别幸福。从年少贫寒到老有所乐，大外公见证了教育事业的发展，他特别期待我们传承源远流长的中华诗词文化。

收到这些另类的“红包”，我一定要倍加珍惜，并代代相传！

窗外，鞭炮声噼里啪啦地响起，年来了。关于年的记忆也随之苏醒，鲜活地飘荡在眼前。

4岁，春节是个麻烦事

4岁时，春节很可怕。老妈说：“正月不剃头，剃头死舅舅。”所以，年根底下，我必须去剃头。理发师给我围上一块大布，拿一把小刀在脖子后刮来刮去，很吓人，我就哭。老妈则使劲地用手按着我，我更怕，更使劲地哭。等到剃完头，围在前面的布都湿透了。

除夕，我要跟着奶奶守岁，很困，却不让睡觉。

年初一，老妈带着我给长辈拜年，要跪在地上磕头，跪得膝盖疼，还要走很多路。

最开心的是拿红包，但是只有几块钱是属于我的，其余的都装进了老妈的腰包。

7岁，义务劳动发奖金

7岁那年腊月底，跟着老妈给姥姥扫屋，打扫卫生。老妈说，每擦一扇窗户给1毛钱。我和表妹争着擦，擦了五六扇窗，我喜滋滋地去领工资，拿着挣来的钱，心里乐开了花。可是老妈不让花，回家后又替我收了起来。

10岁，我的红包哪儿去了

10岁那年年初五，奶奶家来了一大堆人，有两个姨奶奶，3个姑姑，5个哥哥。我左一个右一个地要红包，可没一个给的，最后屁股上还挨了老妈一脚。老妈的眉毛拧成一个大疙瘩，训斥我：“10岁的大小伙子，还要红包，羞不羞?”我哭了。奶奶心疼我，便背着老妈，偷偷地塞给我10元钱。于是，那一年我第一次收了红包没给老妈。回家后，严严实实地藏起来，可惜，后来却找不到了。

12岁，你能拿着鞭炮放吗

10岁左右我爱上了放鞭炮，年年缠着老妈买鞭炮，买一堆才罢休，放得不亦乐乎。往往是还没春节就把鞭炮放完了。那时候爱逞能，老在别人面前用手拿着鞭炮放，吓得大家直往后躲，我便哈哈大笑，像是打了大胜仗。12岁那年初三，我当着所有小朋友的面，将一个炮仗拿在手里，用香点着，却没响，我想看看怎么回事，刚缩回手，啪的一声，炮仗响了，炸得我跳了起来，手指头黑了一片。从那以后，我再也不敢拿着鞭炮放了。

……

噼里啪啦的鞭炮还在响着，春节了，我又长大一岁。现在，我不要红包也不要鞭炮，能跟老爸老妈和和美美、团团圆圆地一起春节，比什么都好!

Every year, Spring Festival makes me happy, because I can spend a long

holiday to stay with my families. On the New Year’s Eve, all the families got

together. We woke up early in the morning and then my mother started to purchase

some food to prepare the big dinner. I helped my mother to bring the food.

Before dinner, there was a tradition in my hometown. We needed to bring the

chicken to take a bow to our ancestors, showing our respect and gratitude. When

the dinner’s ready, we ate happily and talked a lot. Then at night, the families

pasted the New Year’s scrolls and decorated the house. What a harmonious

environment and we enjoyed the family hour. In the next few days, I visited a

lot of relatives. It was a good chance for us to communicate with each

other.
