當你問周圍的人，什么是中國最重要的節日，我想百分之九十九的人會說出同一個答案，那就是春節。關于春節的由來，還有個古老的故事。一個叫“年”的猛獸，會時不時的襲擊人們。為了趕跑猛獸年，人們不得不在舊年的最后一天放鞭炮，在正門和窗戶上貼上紅紙。幸運的是，年因為害怕鞭炮的響聲和紅色的貼紙，不敢再來了。為了紀念這一天，我們的老祖宗把新年農歷的第一天定為“春節”。

During the Spring Festival, all the member of the family will get together on the eve to have a big dinner. Fish, apple, noodle, dumplings, poke, chicken, candies and so on are indispensable on the table. Fish stands for wealth and rich of the coming year, apple stands for doing things smoothly, noodle stands for good health and long live, as to the others, they all symbolize for the lucky and happiness of the coming year.

在春節期間，所有的家庭成員都在除夕的晚上會聚集在一起吃年夜飯。魚、蘋果、面條、餃子、豬肉、雞肉、糖果是餐桌上必不可少的。“魚”代表著“年年有余”;“蘋果”預示著“做事情平平安安，順順利利”;“面條”表示“健康長壽”，至于其他的，表示新年會甜甜蜜蜜有好運氣。

Children are the happiest ones during the Spring Festival, not only they can have lots of companies but also they can have lucky money on the festival. With the lucky money, they can do whatever they want, such as to set off the firecrackers, wear new clothes, use their lucky money to buy the things they want; this is the best part of the Spring Festival, isn’t it?

小孩子是春節中最高興的。不僅僅是因為他們多了很多小伙伴，他們還能拿到紅包。有了紅包，他們可以做任何想做的事情：放鞭炮，買新衣服，買一切想要的東西。對小孩子來說，這就是春節最好的地方了，難道不是嗎?

The Spring Festival is not only means the beginning of the brand-new year, but also carrying the best wish of the people’s. We are hoping in the New Year our wish will come true, our life will become better. Anyway, the most meaningful thing of the Spring Festival is that we spend the time with the family, the people we love and we know that’s all about.

春節不僅僅意味著新年的開始，也承載著人們對新年的祝愿。我們希望新的一年愿望會實現，生活變得更好。不管怎么樣，春節最有意義的就是闔家團圓，我們與家人一起度過，與我們愛的人一起度過，這就是春節的全部。
