Taking place on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year, the Lantern Festival is generally celebrated in February or March.

As it is a popular festival for Chinese people around the world, it is celebrated in many different countries, even in the West.
Cultural Notes
Chinese Lantern Festival
n. 谜语;神秘事件
“Coming of age” refers to the time when a person makes the transition from childhood into adulthood. In Japan, this has been a national holiday since 1948. Originally, it was celebrated on 15 January every year. However, in 2000 it was changed to the second Monday in January. On this day, everyone who has turned 20 in the last year is formally recognised as an adult. To celebrate, many attend ceremonies at local government offices. They may also go to a Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple. When going out on this day, young men wear formal suits and ties and young ladies usually wear kimonos (和服). The day is often finished by a party where the young people celebrate their new lives as adults.
Coming-of-Age Day
n. 典礼;仪式
The Carnival is a joyous festival celebrated in Catholic countries around the world in the days before Lent (on the Christian calendar, Lent takes up the forty days before Easter). Usually, the Carnival occurs in late February or early March. By far the biggest Carnival is in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where more than two million people take part in the yearly festivities. During this time, the streets are filled with parades of people wearing colourful costumes and dancing the samba, and with large and colourful floats.

colours are terrific!

Conversation 2
Li Mei: I’m ready for Carnival, Carla. Shall we go and join the parade now
Carla: You must be joking, Li Mei! That dress is too thick. Do you realise that it’s 35℃ out there
Also, we’re going to march along the streets for hours and dance until midnight. You need
to change.
Li Mei: OK. What should I wear
Carla: Wear something light and cool. I also think you need to wear more comfortable shoes. It’ll
be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes.
Li Mei: Hmm ... You’re right. Can you wait for me I’ll change right away.
Carla: Sure.
[After a few seconds.]
Li Mei: Carla, how do I look now
Carla: Fantastic! Now let’s go and enjoy this festival! It’s going to be so exciting!

Man 1: Wow! These lanterns are amazing!
Woman: Excuse me, Miss Lin. Can you tell me what’s written on the pieces of paper Are they
wishes
Guide: Not exactly. They’re riddles for people to guess. If you guess correctly, you can get a nice
gift.
Woman: Oh, what a nice idea!
Man 2: What else can Chinese people do during this festival
Guide: Oh, they can do many things. They can watch the dragon and lion dances, and also eat
yuanxiao with their family. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling. The Chinese word
“yuan” means “family unity and happiness”.
本句名言摘录于我国宋朝词人辛弃疾的著名词作《青玉案·元夕》英译本中的一句。此句展现了我国南宋时期民间庆祝元宵节的场景:明月当空,人们舞动着鱼形、龙形的彩灯,随着音乐载歌载舞。
Phoenix flutes make music,
The moonlight flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns
whirl the whole night long.
— Xin Qiji
凤箫声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。
——辛弃疾
In the east wind tonight a thousand trees burst into bloom
And stars are blown down like rain;
The whole perfumed road is thronged
With fine carriages and horses bright with gems;
Phoenix flutes make music,
The moonlight flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns whirl the whole night long.
Golden willow and butterfly trinkets in her hair,
Laughing and chatting she leaves a faint fragrance behind.
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd
And, suddenly turning my head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
东风夜放花千树。
更吹落、星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路。
凤箫声动,
玉壶光转,
一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕。
笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度。
蓦然回首,
那人却在,
灯火阑珊处。
