Houses are cleaned; couplets are posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate. On the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve. Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year. On the first day of the new year， almost everyone is dressed in his or her best. When people meet on the way， they say to each other “Happy New Year”。 Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. Children indulge themselves in games. 译文： 农历新年是一个伟大的中国节日。它持续的头四天,期间,人们不工作,除了值班人员。学生不去学校,和店铺都关门了。 新年的前几天,人们开始准备。农民杀猪、羊、公鸡和母鸡。城市居民买肉鱼和蔬菜。房子打扫,对联贴在门上。五颜六色的灯笼挂在门口。 在新年的前夕,每个家庭的成员gatherd一起吃团圆饭。饭后他们看电视直到12时钟建筑物。然后每个家庭出发长串的小鞭炮和其他消防工程欢迎新的一年。在新年的第一天,几乎每个人都穿着他或她最好的。当人们满足的路上,他们对彼此说“新年快乐”。朋友和亲戚支付新年电话和给彼此的礼物。孩子们沉迷于游戏。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/f3f725e4adf8941ea76e58fafab069dc5122475f.html
