【翻译】

元宵节正月十五吃元宵的的习俗由来已久，元宵也叫“汤圆”、“圆子”。据说元宵象征合家团圆，吃元宵意味新的一年合家幸福、万事如意。

元宵节闹花灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

中国的传统佳节——元宵节就要到了。正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。元宵节又称为“上元节”。按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵，合家团聚、同庆佳节，其乐融融。下面就向大家介绍一些元宵节常用词语的英文说法。

Later, I got home, my mother brought me a bowl of dumplings to eat, ah! I really like your Lantern Festival!

"汤圆汤圆送汤圆，香香的汤圆是圆又圆……"，这是一首过元宵时唱的《汤圆》。因为，大伙儿都说吃汤圆，梦也圆，所以，阿姨唱，叔叔唱，伯伯唱，大伙儿唱。

在放假的几天中，我最快乐的一天，要属元宵节了。那天，伯伯来我家吃饭，伯伯刚坐下就问我："凡琪，你放过烟花吗"我回答道："放过一两次。"伯伯接着说："那你还想放一次吗"我说道："当然想啦!可是妈妈偏说说放烟花有危险!不让我多放。"伯伯说："不用怕，我跟你妈说，她会同意的!"我高兴得蹦了"三千尺"，我大喊道："又可以放烟花了!又可以放烟花了!"我扭过头对伯伯说："还是伯伯最爱我!"伯伯对我笑了笑，又回头看他的报纸去了。

吃过饭后，伯伯给了我一大袋烟花，和三根香，就让我和妈妈下楼去放。到了楼下的石头椅子旁，我先把烟花管放在地上放好后，然后用点燃的香将烟花管旁的引子点燃，没过多久，烟花像火箭一样"嗖"的一声，飞上了天空，然后，"碰"的一声在天空散开了，真像一朵花开了!后来，我看了看，有红的，有黄的，有紫的，有绿的，各种各样，各色各异，真好看!

后来，我回家后，妈妈端上了一碗汤圆给我吃，啊!元宵节我真喜欢你!

正月十五 到了，我和家人一起去看花灯。

街上可热闹了，人山人海的。七点十分到了，开始放烟花了，“砰……”的声音响起来，烟花有绿的、红的、黄的、紫的，五彩缤纷，绚丽多彩。看，一个“超大号”的烟花飞上了天，紧接着随着一声轰鸣，又绽放出了一个个小一号烟花布满了天空，有的像紫荆花、有的像菊花。有的乡市迎春花……又“砰!砰”的响了几声，有的烟花里面包着小蜜蜂，炸开以后，发射出萤火虫一样的光。五颜六色的彩花笼罩了整个利津县城。看黄金瀑布流淌下来了，每一根金丝落下来，闪闪的金花铺满了大地。正如唐代诗人李白所云：“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”

看完烟花，我们又去看花灯，我们看见了十二生肖，它们好像在向我们挥手，鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马……在向游人表示新春的祝福。再往前走，我们看见了迪士尼乐园，里面的米老鼠、唐老鸭等“主人”，它们演奏着各种乐器，真是歌舞升平，恭贺新岁啊!我们还看见了“三国演义”灯，有张飞、关羽、刘备三人，他们在桃园结拜兄弟，我仿佛听见了他们在说：“我们虽不能同年同日生，但愿我们同年同日死。”还有敲鼓的，打锣的，那声音的确美妙动听。

今天是我国的传统节日——元宵节。这一天，人们要吃汤圆、放烟花。

以往对元宵节，我们都是吃超市里买的速冻汤圆。可是，今年却截然不同，妈妈为了增加节日气氛，决定要自己做汤圆。我听了心里别提有多兴奋了。

我们先把糯米粉用开水调成皮，爸爸叫我水不要太多，多了会过稀;也不要太少，少了会粘不住。然后取一块皮在手掌中搓成圆形，再用手指在上面按一个窝，把馅放在里面包好，放馅时一定不能太贪心，否则会把皮给撑破的。包好汤圆后，终于可以下锅了。没过多久，汤圆熟了，只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水中，好像一粒粒大珍珠，看得我直流口水，迫不及待地咬了一口。啊!真好吃，那么香甜，那么可口。小小的汤圆包含了我们全家人的美好祝愿。

吃完汤圆，我们便开始放烟花。爸爸放了一个大的。只见几颗明亮的火星一颗接一颗冲上灰暗的天空，刹那间，火星炸开了，变成一朵朵五光十色的花蕊。整个天空变成一个美丽的大花园，真是火树金花闹元宵呀!

最后，我们全家津津有味地看元宵晚会，其乐融融的。

人们常说：“百里不同风千里不同俗。”各个地方都有各自的民风习俗，而让我最难忘的是今年的元宵节!

元宵节是我国传统佳节，也是过年的最后一天，我非常高兴，每到这一天，人们都会以吃元宵、逛花市、赏花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙舞狮来寄托元宵节的热闹及美好的祝福。而我们这里最热闹还是猜灯谜、赏花灯吧!

元宵节那一晚，我和同伴拿着纸灯，点上蜡烛，来到一个村子，那里人山人海，小孩子都拿了花灯，有走马灯、纸灯、纱灯那里有猜灯谜、赏花灯等。我们来到猜灯谜的小场子里，灯谜有多有难，大家都在思考着，猜的人也很多，挤得我上气不接下气。我看了看内容：湖中倒影水纵横(打一广东地名)、痴(打一字)、雨(打一字)、心无二用(打一成语)其中，“湖中倒影水纵横”有些人已经知道了谜底，他们争先恐后，“是潮州，是潮州”一位女子嘶哑喊着。“答案正确”，那位女子获得了礼品，兴高采烈领着礼品回家。

这个村子还有一条小木桥，木桥两边的竹竿上挂满了又大又红的灯笼，远远望去，像一条长龙在湖面上自由自在的游荡。

夜深了，赏花灯、猜灯谜的人们脸上洋溢着满足离开了，今年的元宵节，真令我难忘啊!

Tangyuan is made from glutinous rice flour. You can prepare glutinous rice flour in a bowl and slowly add hot water until they mix into dough. Then you can pinch off the dough and roll them into small balls.

汤圆是由糯米粉做成的。首先在碗内准备一些糯米粉，然后慢慢地加入热水，直到二者混为一个面团。将面团搓成长条并掰成一段一段，将每段揉搓成一个小圆球。

Then you can fill tangyuan with either sweet or savoury fillings. Sweet fillings are often made from peanut butter, black sesame seeds or red beans. But some people prefer the savoury fillings made from meat, mushroom and green vegetables.

然后就可在圆球内加入甜的或咸的馅料。甜的馅料通常由花生酱、黑芝麻或红豆制成。但也有人喜欢由肉、香菇和青菜做成的咸味馅料。

Then try to enwrap all the fillings into glutinous rice dough.

然后将所有的馅料包进一个个面团里。

正月十五吃元宵，在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆，实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

Eating Tangyuan is an important tradition for the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also know as yuanxiao, is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

吃汤圆是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“元宵”，是由糯米粉等做的球形食品，一般有馅料，煮熟带汤吃。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.

通常用黑芝麻做馅，但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好，吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以正月十五元宵必备。

Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.

正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。

Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.

从宋代开始，猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯，供人猜射。通常，谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。

The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.

舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样，每逢佳节，人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成，每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。

大家都知道，元宵节是中华民族的传统节日，在那天全国各地的人们都在看花灯吃元宵，我们家乡这也不例外!

元宵节这天到处张灯结彩，喜气洋洋。他别是舞龙、舞狮最热闹，龙是花布做的，有的用十个人舞，龙头前面有一颗珠子。这个珠子叫“龙珠”，龙舞起来时很好看，像真的的龙一样，观众不断叫好，有些观众去摸龙，他们说摸了龙能治百病，一年都不会生病，舞的人舞的满头大汗，观众拍手叫好。

说舞龙精彩，还有根有意思的，这天人们都要走出户外，到处游玩，亲戚们一起去游玩，听他们说，又完了以后一年都不会生病，不过我想人们出去走一走，还是有一定道理的，春节间吃的好，喝的好，人们出去活动活动，锻炼身体当然不会生病。

过元宵节这天还有个最吸引人的节目——看烟花，6点钟时广场已经来了很多人了，都在那里寻找好的位置，7：00了，到处人山人海，只听见“呯”的一声，礼花爆开，照亮了天空，接着又放了一个礼花，礼花爆开的时候是紫色的，非常好看，接着把礼花爆到水面上，礼花在水面……

这就是我家乡的元宵节!
