Unit 3 Celebrations课文和翻译Lesson1Notes 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 Jenkinsa 16-year-old exchange studentliving in NanjingIt 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.Xu Ganga 28-year-old computer engineerworking in ShanghaiI usually start planning my trip home to Shanxi weeks before Spring Festival, as train tickets or flights have to be booked as early as possible．I take great care in choosing gifts for my parents.This year, I bought a bottle of wine for my father and a beautiful sweater for my mother.Every year, the moment I get on the train, I am surrounded by Shanxi accents—I know that I am heading home to my family.I don't get totravel back to Shanxi very often, so when I get home, my parents will fill me in on what's been happening—who has got married or had children or gone away to university. It's great to hear what everyone's been up to .We usually have hotpot —It's so tasty！However, what we eat isn't the most important thing.What's important is who we eat it with.It's a wonderful thing to be back together with my family and talk of old times.When I was a kid, Spring Festival was all about firecrackers, sweets and decorations. As I get older, coming home and being with my entire family is the most important part of it.Li Yana 70-year-old grandmotherfrom HeilongjiangSpring Festival is family time for us.My husband and I are both retired.We do not see our children and grandchildren very often and we miss them a lot.Weeks before Spring Festival, we start getting ready for their homecoming.Things start to get really busy.We think about what the children would like to eat, what we need to buy and what dishes need to be prepared.Our house buzzes with activities when everyone comes home.Our grandchildren run around shouting and playing, and the adults gather around the table to talk about the past year.Great fun is also enjoyed in the kitchen as jiaozi are being made.We always have jiaozi during this time, as they mean something special on this occasion—they are a sign of our wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.To me, this is Spring Festival—the joy of a family gathering.Throughout history, some of the original customs have changed, but the spirit of the festival—the spirit of family—has largely been kept.Most of the important Spring Festival traditions are still being practised by people across the country.编者注：春节在中国是一个重要的传统(节日)。
