  年夜飯***family reunion dinner***是除夕***New Year’s Eve***的最後一餐。這一天人們準備除舊迎新,一家相聚,共進晚餐。一年一次的團圓飯充分地表現出中華民族家庭成員的互敬互愛。家人的團聚往往令“一家之主”在精神上得到安慰與滿足,老人家看兒孫滿堂,過去的關懷與撫養子女所付出的心血沒有白費,這是何等的幸福。而年輕一輩也正可以藉此機會對父母的養育之恩表達感激之情。

  翻譯:

  Family reunion dinner is the last meal of New Year’s Eve. On this day, people are ready to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. They get together and have dinner together. The annual reunion dinner fully illustrates the mutually respect and love of the family members of the Chinese nation. The reunion of the family members always gives mental comfort and satisfaction to the “host of the family”. What happiness it is to see his children and grandchildren gathering around him and that his painstaking effort paid in the past to care for and raise them is worthwhile. At the same time, the younger generation can take this opportunity to show their gratitude for their parents who gave birth to them and raised them.

  6.日常禮節:可譯為daily ritual。

  7.對客人、朋友的尊重:可譯為動詞片語,即show respect to guests and friends。
