　　過年的傳說及過年的來歷

　　Chinese people held the first New Year Festival more than 3,000 years ago. Farmers gave thanks for the harvest and prayed. They asked the gods for good crops in the coming year.

　　中國人慶祝中國傳統新年已經有3000多年的歷史了，農民感謝上蒼賜予好的收成，同時禱告來年有好的收成。但是關於慶祝新年的背後，有一個故事，下面就是關於慶祝新年的傳說。

　　But there is a story behind all the celebration, below is the legend of how the Chinese New Year celebration began.

　　據傳，有一個食人野獸叫“年”，有一張能一口吃掉好幾個人的血盆大口。這個怪物在山上找不到吃的的時候，就會下山到附近村莊，攻擊和吃掉所有能吃的動物，包括人。村民們整個冬天都在恐懼中度過。

　　According to legend, there was a man-eating wild monster "Nian" with an extremely large mouth, capable of swallowing several people in a single bite. This beast appeared in a country village, towards the end of winter when there was nothing to eat it would visit the villages and attack and eat whatever it could. The villagers would live in terror over the winter.

　　據傳說，有一個人吃的野生怪物“年”一個非常大的口，吞嚥幾個人在一個單一的叮咬。此獸出現在鄉村，對冬季結束時，有沒有吃的，它會到村裡去，什麼能吃就吃什麼，所以整個冬天村民都生活在恐懼之中。

　　The next year it returned and the same thing happened. The monster seemed too strong to be defeated. So all the villagers would take their old and young deep into the mountains to hide from Nian.

　　來年冬天，怪獸如期而至，同樣的悲劇再次發生，怪獸之強壯非常人能夠擊倒，所以所有村民都攜帶全家老小到深山躲藏，以避免成為“年”的食物

　　One day, a wise old man passed through the village and told an old woman, "I will teach you how to scare Nian away!"

　　有一天，一個充滿智慧的老人經過村莊，告訴一個老婦人：“我叫你怎麼把年嚇跑”。

　　That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw that all the houses were dark except the house in which an old woman lived. Nian approached the house, licking his lips in anticipation. Suddenly, the deafening noise of firecrackers sounded endlessly.

　　當天晚上，當年踏進村子時，它見村裡所有的屋子沒有燈光，除了那個老夫人家亮著燈。年靠房子，***嘴脣，期待著自己的晚餐。突然，震耳欲聾的鞭炮聲在耳邊響個不停。

　　The monster was startled and jumped. Suddenly he realized that the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and it ran off into the mountains. When the villagers returned they saw that the old woman was unharmed! People later learned that "nian" was afraid of loud noises and the color red, The villagers came together and agreed that when it was time for Nian's annual visit towards the end of winter they would start a fire in front of every door and not go to sleep but rather make noise.

　　“年”被鞭炮聲嚇得跳起來，突然發現那個房子外面貼著紅紙，這個把怪獸嚇得落荒而逃，村民回到村莊發現老婦人毫髮無傷。後來，村民知道了這個叫“年”的怪獸害怕噪聲和紅色，於是村裡的村名都贊同，在“年”下一次“光顧”村莊的時候，家家戶戶都在門前點起火，守歲然後製造“動靜”。

　　The following year, the villagers were ready for it. They set off firecrackers, lit all their lamps and decorated their houses in red, they paste red paper on the doors, wear red clothing, hang up red lanterns. They made loud music, play the gong and drums and they dance and burn the fireworks whenever Nian was about to arrive, to scared away the beast.

　　第二年，村名們都做足了準備，他們準備好了鞭炮，點燃了所有的燈，把房子裝飾橙紅色，在門上貼紅紙，穿紅色的衣服，手裡拎著紅燈籠。她們敲鑼打鼓大聲彈唱，跳舞，走到哪裡鞭炮就點到哪裡。

　　Nian had not come down the mountain to cause any trouble thereafter.

　　年從此以後再沒敢到這個村裡惹麻煩了

　　This eventually become a tradition of China and leads to the celebration for another year of safe life. Chinese people celebrate in remembrance of this legend and still continues till today!

　　這就成了中國的一個傳統，慶祝一年的平安，中國人以此傳說慶祝新年，直到今天。

　　關於春節的英語故事篇二

　　The Origin of Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the SpringFestival because it starts from the Begining of Spring ***the first of the twenty-four terms incoodination with the changes of Nature***。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Severalexplanations are hanging around. All agree， however， that the word Nian， which in modernChinese solely means year， was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey onpeople the night before the beginning of a new year.

　　One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great manypeople with one bite. People were very scared. One day， an old man came to their rescue，offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said， I hear say that you are very capable， but can youswallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of yourworthy opponents? So， it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that alsoharrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

　　After that， the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortalgod. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests， peoplebegin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left， he had told people to put up redpaper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case itsneaked back again， because red is the color the beast feared the most.

　　From then on， the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation togeneration. The term Guo Nian， which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebratethe ***New*** Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over andobserve. The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian shouldit have a chance to run loose is still around. However， people today have long forgotten whythey are doing all this， except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement ofthe celebration.

　　貼春聯的來歷

　　spring couplets, a chinese new year decoration, are an integral part of china's new year. their beginnings go back as far as the origins of new year's festivities.

　　春聯，是中國新年的裝飾，沒有春聯，春節就不完整。春聯的來歷就要說到新年的來歷

　　according to legends in the china's ancient past there was a monster known as nian who often came down from the mountains to eat livestock and locals. it was discovered that he was afraid of the color red and so red paper was placed around doors and windows of houses and poems for good luck were added to them. the houses with the red paper were avoided by the monster, so its inhabitants were spared. the tradition has continued until today.

　　根據中國古代歷史傳說中記載，有一個叫“年的”怪物經常從山上到村子裡吃牲畜。後來人們發現這個怪物怕洪澤，所以就在門上，窗戶上貼紅紙，紅紙上面還寫一些增加轉運的詩。這樣，怪獸害怕貼滿紅紙的屋子，所以這個風俗被流傳了下來，一直直到今天。

　　couplets are traditionally painted with black ink on two pieces of red paper which is then hung on either side of a door.

　　對聯傳統的來講是用黑墨在兩張紅紙上寫字，然後貼在門的兩側。

　　one half is hung on either side. there is an extra piece of paper painted with words of prosperity hung above the door frame. traditionally the couplets are poems consisting of two lines of either four or five characters. they are painted from top to bottom, right to left.

　　一邊貼張。另外還有一個橫批寫著意味繁榮之意之字貼在門框的上方。傳統的對聯，上聯合下聯是4個或5個字，是一對詩。寫對聯一般是從上到下，從右到左。

　　different couplets have different themes. for farmers the couplets are meant to bring bounty to them, whereas businessmen's couplets are meant to bring money. traditionally scholars would paint couplets and give them to their friends, relatives, and the public. many people choose to create their own couplets. many times door god or the character "fu"is added to doors along with the couplets.

　　不同的對聯有不同的主題。比如，給農民的對聯是帶來好收成，商人掙跟多錢。傳統學者會自己寫對聯贈予朋友或親人。許多人會自己設計屬於自己的對聯。門神和福字一般都是和對聯配套的貼在門上的。
