中英雙語話中國民風民俗 第36期:人們度過陰曆的活動
What Will People Do at Lunar Year
人們度過陰曆的活動Each Chinese month starts on the day of the new moon. And the full moon comes on the 15th day of the month. The New Year always starts between January 21 and February 20. On the last day of the lunar year,there is a big family dinner. All members of the family except married daughters try to be present at this meal，even if they have to travel many miles to reach the home of their parents. Old quarrels are forgotten，and everybody is happy. After the dinner,the children keep awake to welcome the New Year.
每一箇中國月在新月的那天開始。滿月在每月的第15日來臨。新年總是在1月21日和2月20日之間開始。在陰曆年的最後一天，有一個大型的家庭聚餐。家裏除了出嫁的女兒，所有成員儘量出席這頓飯，儘管他們到達他們的父母的家中有好幾英里。忘記舊的爭吵，每個人都是幸福的。晚飯後，孩子們保持清醒，以迎接新年的到來。
