狂欢节(Carnival)起源于欧洲的中世纪。该节日曾与复活节有密切关系。期间,人们禁止娱乐,禁食肉食,反省、忏悔以纪念复活节前3天遭难的耶稣,生活肃穆沉闷,于是在斋期开始的前3天里,人们会专门举行宴会、舞会、游行,纵情欢乐,故有“狂欢节”之说。如今已没有多少人坚守大斋期之类的清规戒律,但传统的狂欢活动却保留了下来,成为人们抒发对幸福和自由向往的重要节日,其中最负盛名的要数巴西的狂欢节。

The Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, also known as the lunar New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. According to Chinese legends, Nian was originally the name of a monster beast. On the eve of the Spring Festival, it is a folk custom to stay up late or even all night. A get-together banquet is usually a must for every Chinese family. The most popular food is jiaozi, or dumplings. People wear new clothes, set off firecrackers and post couplets on the gates. Moreover, people go out to visit relatives and friends. For many children, The Spring Festival offers them a special chance to receive “lucky money”.
