UNIT 1 FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
●!"#$
[导语]本文是一篇杂志编辑摘录的三位读者对春节的叙述,节选的是外
籍交换生Tom Jenkins的叙述,详细描写了过春节的情景。
Notes from the editor:Spring Festival is an important tradition in China. It
has unique meanings. However, people may understand it differently,
including those from other cultures. Here are three readers accounts to our
magazine,in which the readers shared their experiences and views about it.
Tom Jenkins,a 16yearold exchange student living in Nanjing.
It was my first time spending Spring Festival in China with my host
family. Spring Festival is highly valued by every Chinese family. Preparations
began a week before the festival. First,the house was cleaned from top to
bottom. My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to sweep away the dirt of the
past year and get ready for the new year.
Next,the Chinese character Fu was attached upside down to our front
door. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down,happiness arrives.
The character looked really cool.
The greatest excitement began the night before Spring Festival. Fireworks
were being let off across the city,suddenly lighting up the night sky.
Children were covering their ears but with an expectant look on their faces.
Mrs Chen said that it was to scare away the monster Nian. The fireworks were
a lot of fun!We then sat together to enjoy a big dinner,wishing everyone a
happy new year.
