今天是農曆正月初四，新年假期從除夕開始算已經第五天，大家知道農曆新年、紅包、除夕、元宵節的英文是什麼嗎?除此之外，大家可以用英文簡單介紹農曆新年嗎?今天跟大家分享三件關於農曆新年的事情，以後也能跟外國友人分享我們的傳統節慶唷!

----文字內容----
1.
The date of Lunar New Year varies every year. Lunar New Year festival lasts for 15 days and ends on the Lantern Festival. At midnight on New Year’s Eve, every door and window in the house is opened to let the old year leave. (每年農曆新年的日期都不一樣。整個新年共十五天，最後一天是元宵節，在除夕夜時，家中的門窗都要敞開，讓舊的一年離開家裡。)
2.
Traditionally, children are given red envelopes with “lucky money” inside. Nowadays, many people send money electronically, too. For example, some send their digital red envelopes with Line Pay. The users can divide a total sum of money into a certain number of red envelopes to hold prize draws in group chats, with the app randomly assigning the amount in each envelope for each recipient. (傳統來說，小孩會收到裝有「壓歲錢」的紅包。現在，也有許多人以電子方式送紅包。舉例來說，很多人用Line Pay送數位紅包，使用者可以將一定金額分到一定數量的紅包內，然後再送到群組中讓大家抽獎，Line則會隨機地分配每個收到紅包的人所得到的壓歲錢金額。)
3.
Each year is named after one of 12 Chinese zodiac animals. The animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig, sequentially. (每年都會以十二生肖裡面的一個動物來命名這一年，依序分別是鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗、豬。)

【學好「新文」~英文輕閱讀-越讀越快樂~】

對CBBC文中 People will eat lots of food 深表有趣與專業 (笑)

創譯哥也一直認為，我們華人每年吃得好都很「享受」（想瘦）（Thumbs up)～

*過年創譯哥去阿里山看神木，新年期許社會多些成熟平穩的靭性，而少去無思無意義的任性，寶島和語文都會更好 ~

大年初五，新年依然快樂～

About CBBC

{ CBBC is a British children's television strand owned by the BBC }

【文中佳句註解】

People will eat lots of food, enjoy fireworks, wear special clothes and hang red lanterns to mark the occasion.
{ 國外人士也知道過年會吃很多，專業～ }

This is different to the 'Gregorian' calendar that we traditionally use in the UK, which always starts on 1 January.
{ 'Gregorian' calendar 就是我們所說西元曆或陽曆，UK 就是BBC所屬的英國 }

Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival.
{ 被熟知為農曆春節 is known as the Spring Festival }

In Chinese tradition, each year is named after one of twelve animals, which feature in the Chinese zodiac.
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.
{ 12生肖，請不要再把Ox說成Cow囉 : ) }

(If you were born in January or February before Chinese new year that year, though, your animal will be the sign for the year before.)

{ 這句話對外國友人解釋很好用 }

Adults might give red envelopes to children with money inside too.
{ BBC 還提醒不要只是紅色信封袋（紅包）還要有 money inside 真的很貼心可愛 }
