 农历新年即将来临,想必大家早已经沉浸在对春节的热切期盼中,今天的节目一起来看看如何用英语说“过年”。


 


01.Spring festival

首先,我们来看看如何用英语说“年”:

Spring Festival: 春节

很多中国的传统节日都可以用festival来表达:Mid-Autumn Festival(中秋节);Dragon Boat Festival(端午节)。

Chinese New Year: 中国新年

与之相对的西方新年是western new year。

Lunar New Year: 农历新年

但要注意人们生活中并不常说solar new year。


02.The verb 1 "guo"

“过”年既需要spend money,也需要spend time,都可以用这个动词:

Spend: 度过,花费

春节临近我们经常会询问身边的人:

How do you spend new year? 你怎么过年?

Where are you spending new year? 你在哪里过年?

过年除了指“度过”春节这段时间以外,“过”字还有另一层“庆祝”的含义:

Celebrate: 庆祝

Celebrating Chinese new year: 过中国新年,庆祝新年

另一个非常正式、庄严的动词是:

Observe: 庆祝,遵守

它不仅有观察的意思,还可以表示带有崇高敬意的继承、传承:

We celebrate spring festival by observing certain traditions. 我们会遵循一些传统来庆祝春节。

或用最简单,也最常用的动词“do”:

What are you doing for Spring Festival? 你准备怎么过春节?

春节到来之际,大家都怀着无比期待和激动的心情:

Looking forward to: 期待,期盼

但对于很多人来说,过年也意味着抢票、收拾行李、置办年货等众多准备工作:

Getting ready for: 为…做准备

新年到来时会进行倒计时:

Countdown: n.倒数计时

To count down: v.倒计时

西方的教堂或市政建筑中常有钟楼、钟塔,在整点时发出撞钟的声音,因此也可以借用新年钟声响起来表示迎接新年:

Ring in: 敲响…以迎接

Ring in the new year: 喜迎新年



n.[语]动词
  • The sentence is formed from a verb and two nouns.这句子由一个动词和两个名词构成。
  • These are the finite forms of a verb.这些是一个动词的限定形式。
