A precious family dinner 弥足珍贵的团圆饭 It is just past five o’clock on the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and the dinner table is already covered with white china plates and bowls, full of all sorts of dishes: chicken, duck, pork, fish and vegetables. Luo Yan, 29, lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan’s son, Bofeng, happily takes a bite of the chicken his grandfather has selected for him. 除夕刚过五点钟，饭桌上已经摆满了白瓷碗碟——鸡鸭鱼肉和蔬菜，满满当 当的各色菜肴。29 岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子，嗅着母亲和妻子煲的汤所散发出的浓香。他的儿子博峰美滋滋地咬了一口爷爷给挑好的鸡肉。 Para 1 Chinese New Year’s Eve be covered with all sorts of breathe in take a bite of 除夕 覆盖着;摆满了 各种各样 吸入 咬一口 Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy and excitement. Indeed, the whole family could not be happier to be together. Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house. Luo Yan and his wife and son have settled in the big city, far away from their hometown. Every year, they travel back for the Spring Festival, for their dream of “three generations under the same roof”. 六岁的博峰都快一年没见爷爷奶奶了，他满心喜悦和激动。的确，一家人再 没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。虽然外面天寒地冻，他们幸福的脸庞却让屋内的 空气暖洋洋的，欢声笑语处处可闻。罗言一家三口已经在大城市定居，离家乡很远。不过，他们每年都回老家过春节，以实现他们“三代同堂”的梦想。 Para 2 be full of joy and excitement couldn't be happier despite the cold outside fill the air with warmth ring throughout the house settle in far away from 充满喜悦和兴奋 不能更快乐 尽管外面寒冷 让空气充满温暖 响彻整个房子 定居;安顿下来 远离 The Luo family’s journey back to their hometown was a long and tiring one just a few years ago. However, the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home. During the five-hour trip, they chatted excitedly with each other, their minds full of thoughts about their sweet home. 几年前，罗言一家的回乡之旅还是漫长而劳顿的。如今有了高铁，回趟家就方便多了。五个小时的旅途，三人兴高采烈地聊着天，心中想的全是甜蜜的家。 Para 3 high-speed train be full of thoughts about 高铁 满脑子都是 On their arrival, they find Luo’s parents eagerly waiting for them.

From the neat designs of the paper-cuttings on the windows, to the Spring Festival couplets on the door, and to the New Year paintings on the wall, everything represents joy, luck and happiness. Even the fish on the plate expresses a hope for nian nian you yu—yu means both “fish” and “plenty” in Chinese — “May you get more than you wish for every year”. 刚到家，他们就发现父母早就翘首以待了。家中已经为这个喜庆的场合特别 布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐的剪纸，到门上的春联，再到墙上的年画，无不象征着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。就连盘中的那条鱼也表达了对年年有余的企盼—— 在汉语中“鱼”“余”谐音——祝愿每年的收获都能多于期望。 Para 4 on one’s arrival eagerly wait for sb the joyous occasion the Spring Festival couplets the New Year painting represent joy, luck and happiness express a hope for 在某人到来时 热切地等待某人 欢乐的时刻 春联 年画 代表欢乐,吉祥与幸福 表达对......的期盼 After dinner, the hours until midnight go slowly by.

We’ll come back more frequently and we’re also considering taking them to the city to live with us. After all, home is where all family members are together.” 在温暖舒适的房间中，罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望 我们不用再分开了，”他看着年迈的父母，“我爸妈年纪大了，我们应该多陪陪们。我们会回家回得更勤一点，也考虑着把二老接到城里，跟我们一起生活。不管怎么说，一家人在哪，哪就是家。” Para 5 ageing parents consider doing sth after all 年迈的父母 考虑做某事 毕竟 As midnight approaches, Luo Yan takes his parents, wife and son outside to set off firecrackers.
