突破口語之獨(dú)白(2):Chinese New Year中國(guó)新年
To the Chinese people, Spring Festival is as important as Christmas to people in the West. According to the Chinese tradition, preparation for the festival starts from the beginning of the last lunar month and festival celebrations extend until the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month. As a matter of fact, nowadays few Chinese people can afford spending a whole month on festival activities due to the fast-paced life. However, most of the working people can enjoy a week-long public holiday, during which the most important are the New Year's Eve and the first three days of the first lunar month.
對(duì)中國(guó)人來說，春節(jié)就像西方人的圣誕節(jié)一樣重要。按照中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)，節(jié)前的準(zhǔn)備從最后一個(gè)農(nóng)歷月的月初開始，并將一直持續(xù)到新年第一個(gè)農(nóng)歷月15號(hào)的元宵節(jié)為止。事實(shí)上，由于快節(jié)奏的生活，現(xiàn)在很少中國(guó)人能夠把整個(gè)月時(shí)間花費(fèi)在春節(jié)的各種活動(dòng)上。然而，多數(shù)工薪人員能夠享有一個(gè)一星期長(zhǎng)的公眾假日，期間最重要的是除夕以及第一個(gè)農(nóng)歷月的頭三天。
