　　春节

　　很久以前,中国历史上最重要的节日是春节,而且据说是中国的新年.对于中国人来说,它的重要程度和西方的圣诞节一样.这一年一度的庆典日期被定在了阴历相当于格里高利历,所以假日改变的日期从一月末变为二月初.

　　对于黄皮肤的中国人来说,这个解释实际是始于春节的前夕结束于第一个月圆之日的15.而第一个月圆之夜一般情况下被称作元宵节,意味春节在全国大部分地区的官方节日时间上结束.

　　春节在中国是最重要最流行的节日.很久以前,过春节时,人们常常需要整理打扫房间.并且去花市买些鲜花.春节期间,成年人常常要给小子压岁钱.人们常要在一起聚餐,有些人午夜还会吃饺子.

　　翻译：我的寒假

　　许多孩子总是盼望着寒假.这是因为在这个假期间,孩子不用去学校,他们可以做任何他们喜欢做的.象：玩,看电视,旅游,或者睡上一整天等等.而且当寒假来临的时候,也意味着春节即将到来.我几乎整天都呆在家里,玩我的电脑.我玩电脑游戏和在网上冲浪.在寒假期间,我仍然和我的同学、朋友保持联系.我想我就快成“薯条鼠标”了.在春节期间,我拜访了我的亲人,而且我得到了很多红包.尽管我的假期是疯狂和兴奋的,但我的确学到了很多.这对放松是有好处的,我已经为即将到来的新学期做好了准备.再见!我的寒假.（“薯条鼠标”是指整天玩电脑,就只是吃点肯德基或其他junkfood充饥的人）
