本期音频：英文话春节--春节的10种幸运食物 10 Lucky Food For Chinese New Year
As one of the most important aspects of the Spring Festival, food is essential to a healthy, happy new year in Chinese tradition, and many dishes are imbued with auspicious and symbolic meanings either because of the appearance or the pronunciation of its Chinese name.

以下是中国新年的10种幸运食物
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #1 - Fish
中国新年的幸运食物#1 -鱼
Fish is always a must Chinese New Year food because it is a symbol of prosperity. The pronunciation of "fish" (鱼) in Chinese makes it a homophone for "surplus" (余), with a good wish for the next successful year. It is customary to serve a fish for the New Year's Eve dinner. Usually, fish is not cut into pieces, but cooked as a whole. When fish is placed on the dining table, its head must be at the elders, as a sign of respect. In most areas, fish is not eaten completely (and the remainder is stored overnight), as the Chinese phrase "may there be surpluses every year" (年年有余) sounds the same as "may there be fish every year".
鱼一直是中国新年必备的食物，因为它是繁荣的象征。“fish”(鱼)的中文发音与“surplus”(盈余)同音，寓意来年成功。除夕年夜饭上有鱼是一种习俗。通常，鱼不是切成块的，而是整条烹饪。当鱼被放在餐桌上时，鱼头必须朝向长辈，以示尊敬。在大多数地区，鱼不会被完全吃掉(剩下的会留一晚上)，因为中国谚语“年年有余”听起来和“年年有鱼”是一样的。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #2 - Dumplings
中国新年幸运食物#2 -饺子
Another Chinese New Year food, dumplings or Jiaozi are one of the major foods eaten during the Spring Festival and year round in the Northern provinces. Jiaozi symbolize wealth because its shape resembles a gold or silver ingot and it is given a hope for getting more money in the New Year. When people eat Jiaozi around midnight during Lunar New Year, they hope that it will bring prosperity and good luck for the forthcoming year.
另一种中国新年食物，饺子，是北方省份春节和全年的主要食物之一。饺子象征着财富，因为它的形状像金元宝或银元宝，象征着人们希望在新的一年里得到更多的财富。在农历新年午夜时分吃饺子时，人们希望饺子会为即将到来的一年带来繁荣和好运。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #3 - Glutinous Rice Balls (Tangyuan)
中国新年幸运食品#3 -汤圆
Glutinous Rice Balls also called Tangyuan and Yuexiao, is a boiled glutinous rice ball stuffed with sugar, sesame, rose petals, bean paste or others. Its name "Tang-yuan" (汤圆) in Chinese has similar pronunciation as the word for "reunion", symbolizing family unity, completeness and happiness.
汤圆，也叫元宵，是一种煮熟的糯米团，里面有糖、芝麻、玫瑰花瓣、豆沙或其他馅料。它的名字“汤圆”与“团圆”谐音，象征着家庭的团结、圆满和幸福。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #4– Niangao (Glutinous Rice Cake)
中国新年的幸运食物#4 -年糕
The most popular Chinese New Year food, glutinous rice cake or Niangao (年糕) literally means "Chinese new year cake" with a homophonous meaning of "higher year". It is a kind of sticky cake made of glutinous rice flour and sugar in the shape of rectangle or circular. It is considered good luck to eat Niangao during Lunar New Year, for its symboli *** of "promoting year by year".

春卷是中国饮食文化的重要菜肴，代表着祝福和好运，象征着财富，因为它们的形状与金条相似。毫无疑问，它是中国传统新年食物之一。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #6 - Noodles
中国新年的幸运食物#6 -面条
Noodles are on the Chinese New Year food list in many places of China. Noodles stand for a long, happy life; an old superstition says that it's bad luck to cut them. And there has always been a tradition of eating noodles on the birthday in China.
在中国很多地方，面条都在春节食物清单上。面条代表幸福长寿; 一种古老的迷信说法是，切断面条会带来坏运气。在中国，生日那天吃面条一直是一个传统。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #7 - Chicken
中国新年幸运食物#7 -鸡肉
Chicken is another main dish during the festival. The Chinese pronunciation for chicken, "ji", is similar to the Chinese word for "good luck". People may have roasted chicken or steamed chicken with different spices, however, it should be served whole, symbolizing family togetherness.
鸡肉是春节期间的另一道主菜。鸡的发音，与“lucky（吉）”的中文发音相似。人们可能会用不同的香料烤鸡或蒸鸡，但都要整只端上，象征着家庭团聚。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #8 - Meat/Pork
中国新年幸运食物#8 -肉/猪肉
Many Chinese New Year foods involves meat, including braised pork in brown sauce, meatballs, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried pork slices, etc.
许多中国新年食物都与肉有关，包括红烧肉、肉丸、米粉蒸肉、爆炒肉片等。
In the past, the common people lived a very poor life and could not have many meat dishes a year, so they wished to eat much meat during the Spring Festival. The meat should be stewed to red shine, a symbol of thriving and happiness in the New Year. As the saying goes, a Lunar New Year is not complete without eating meat.
在过去，老百姓过着非常贫穷的生活，一年都吃不到很多肉菜，所以他们希望在春节期间能够大快朵颐。肉要炖到红色发亮，象征着新的一年里兴旺和幸福。俗话说，过年不吃肉，一年都白过。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #9 - Candies
中国新年的幸运食物#9 -糖果
Candies symbolize a happy, sweet life. So of course candy is one of the traditional lucky foods for Spring Festival. In fact, traditionally, candies should be eaten on the 23rd day of the 12th month of the Lunar New Year. Because on that day, people will worship the kitchen god and bribe him with the candies so that he can say something good to the god for human.
糖果象征着幸福、甜蜜的生活。所以糖果当然是春节的传统幸运食物之一。事实上，按照习俗，糖果应该在农历新年的12月23日吃。因为在那一天，人们会祭拜灶王神，用糖果贿赂他，这样他就可以为人类向上天说些好话。
Lucky Food for Chinese New Year #10 - Tangerines
中国新年幸运食物#10 -橘子
Tangerines and oranges are the "lucky" fruits and the best presents during the Spring Festival season as the words for tangerines and oranges sound like luck and wealth. And let's not forget pomelos. This large fruit signifies abundance, as the Chinese word for pomelo sounds like the word for "to have".
橘子和橙子是“幸运”水果，也是春节期间更好的礼物，因为橘子和橙子听起来像吉利和财富。别忘了还有柚子。柚子这种大型水果象征着富足，因为柚子的中文发音与“有”谐音。
好，以上就是10大中国新年幸运食物，你的春节餐桌上都备齐了吗？希望本期内容能够让你有所收获。Thank you very much for your listening and I’ll see you next time! Bye!

四海同庆闹元宵 那你知道元宵英文怎么说吗？青玉案·元夕
宋·辛弃疾
东风夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。宝马雕车香满路，凤箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞 。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。
农历正月十五是元宵节，又称上元节、元夜、灯节。正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中之一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。
司马迁创建《太初历》，将元宵节列为重大节日。隋、唐、宋以来，更是盛极一时。随着社会和时代的变迁，元宵节的风俗习惯早已有了较大的变化，但至今仍是中国民间传统节日。
闹花灯、猜灯谜、耍龙灯、踩高跷、舞狮子、划旱船是元宵节传统节日习俗，现在不仅国内，国外很多华人聚集的地方也会采用这些传统方式庆祝元宵节。
猜
灯
谜
猴子身轻站树梢
（打一水果）
元宵节必吃元宵。这是一种从宋代开始在民间流行的食品。最早叫“浮元子”后称“元宵”。元宵是北方人的叫法，南方人叫“汤圆”，以白糖、玫瑰、芝麻、豆沙、黄桂、核桃仁、果仁、枣泥等为馅，用糯米粉包成圆形，可荤可素，风味各异。可汤煮、油炸、蒸食，有团圆美满之意。
今天，海内外华人都在吃元宵。前几日，身在纽约的朋友，有没有参加搓元宵大赛呢。如果你请美国人吃元宵，知道元宵的英文怎么说吗？
西方人习惯把所有带馅往水里煮的面食都统统称为Dumpling，所以有时候他们也会把元宵汤圆叫做“Rice Dumpling”或者“Lantern Festival Dumpling”。
你也可以称它们是“Glutinous Rice Ball”（粘粘的米球）或者“Sweet Rice Ball”（甜甜的米球）。
还有
黑芝麻馅儿“Black Sesame Filling”
豆沙馅儿“Red Bean Paste Filling”
……
下面是关于元宵节的英文。
元宵节：Lantern Festival
（Lantern是灯的意思，Lantern Festival直译过来，就是灯节的意思）
正月：The First Month of Lunar New Year
灯谜：Lantern Riddles
猜灯谜：Guessing Lantern Riddles
把这些英文记住了，可以顺畅地和外国朋友交流关于元宵节的话题。
你也可以告诉外国朋友，正月十五元宵节在中国古代，是属于“有情人”的日子。这一天，平时只能“家里蹲”的女孩子们，也终于能在黄昏后走上街头，看看花灯，也看看心仪的男生。运气好的话，或许那人就在灯火阑珊处。
如果你是在西方过这个中国传统的“情人节”，该是一种很奇妙的体验吧。
最后，恭祝海内外华人：元宵节快乐！
中国的小吃真可谓是名扬天下，羊肉泡馍、肉夹馍、凉皮等都是家喻户晓的美味。但是，网上对各类小吃的英语翻译五花八门，良莠不齐，今天我们就一起来看看各类美味小吃用英语怎么说？

【长知识！120个中国传统文化名词英文表达<憧憬>】#过端午#吃粽子，但你知道“端午节”、“粽子”用英文怎么说吗？小编告诉你哦，是zongzi/rice dumpling ，你学会了吗？
除此之外，还有除夕、元宵、中秋、重阳、火锅、炸酱面……如果不会说，怎么向“歪果仁”传递中国文化？现在，小编送你120个中国传统文化名词地道英文表达，日常交流和各种考试用得上↓↓转发收藏！
“饺子”原来不是dumplings！这么多年，你说对了吗？“饺子”的英文不是dumplings，
这么多年，你说对了吗？
“饺子”英语怎么说？
老外把“面皮包馅”的食物都叫dumplings，
比如：饺子、包子、云吞等。
所以，把“饺子”说成dumplings，老外分不清你说的具体是哪种食物。
<1>
Jiaozi
《牛津英语词典》已收录“ jiaozi”，
所以，“饺子”可以直接说jiaozi！
<2>
Chinese dumplings
上面已经说过dumplings有很多种，
不过你说“Chinese dumplings”，老外就知道是指中国的“饺子”了！
“包饺子”相关英语表达
<1>
jiaozi wraps
饺子皮
wrap英
wraps是复数形式，可以理解为“外衣”，饺子的外衣就是“饺子皮”的意思。
<2>
jiaozi filling
饺子馅
filling
英 美
作名词，有“馅，填充物”的意思。
<3>
make jiaozi
包饺子
make表示 *** 、加工。
其他国家的“饺子”英语翻译
ravioli
英 美
方形饺（意大利）
gyoza
英
日式饺子（日本）
samosa英
pelmeni 俄罗斯饺子
“汤圆”英语怎么说？
北方人吃饺子，南方人吃汤圆，
“汤圆”用英语怎么说？
“汤圆”可以直接说：Chinese Tang Yuan
老外也把“汤圆”叫作“glue pudding”。glue是“胶水”，pudding是“布丁”。老外觉得吃汤圆就像是在吃胶水布丁。
另外，汤圆也是“面皮包馅”的食物，所以在老外眼里也是：dumpling。
英语口语·吉米老师说
饺子不仅中国人爱吃，歪果仁也爱吃。但如果你在国外餐馆说你要一盘“dumpling",端上来的可能不是你爱吃的饺子哦。
英语口语·饺子
本文属于英语口语（kouyu8）原创

饺子 ≠ dumpling
饺子 jiaozi (Chinese dumplings)
*** 这样解释 dumpling ，dumpling 是由一团面团组成的，里面可能有馅也可能没馅，面团由面粉、面包或土豆做成。里面的馅包括肉馅、鱼肉馅、芝士馅、蔬菜馅、水果馅等等，烹调方式可以煎、烤、炸、煮、蒸各种方式。
所以你点一盘 dumplings ，上来的可以是水饺、也可以是包子、还可能是馒头……
饺子的正确英文是 Chinese dumplings 。随着中国国际地位的提高，饺子的英文 jiaozi也进入了牛津字典。所以你在国外的时候，直接说我要一盘 jiaozi ,歪果仁就能听懂你要什么了。
例句：
I love Jiaozi ! Tangyuan only has sesame inside, while Jiaozi has hundred of stuffing!
我爱吃饺子。汤圆只有芝麻馅，而饺子有成百上千种馅。
汤圆 Sweet dumplings（Tangyuan)
例句：
Sweet dumplings have always been a symbol of unity.
汤圆总是象征着团圆。
小笼包 Steamed Dumplings
例句：
Bring me two portions of steamed dumplings stuffed with shrimp, please.
请给我两份虾肉馅的小笼包。
灌汤包 Soup dumplings
例句：
Shanghai is known for its street food, especially soup dumplings.
上海的美食以街边小吃而闻名，特别是灌汤包。
粽子 zongzi （rice dumpling)
例句：
Zongzi is the traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival.
粽子是端午节的传统食品。
饺子皮 ≠ dumpling skin
饺子皮 dumpling wrapper
饺子的皮肤是饺子皮，但饺子皮的英语是dumpling wrapper，因为饺子皮是包起来的，wrap 做动词是包裹的意思。
例句：
I in one hand and a *** all cake, in one hand and a rolling pin to roll the dumpling wrappers.
我一手拿着小饼，一手拿着擀面杖擀饺子皮。
苹果皮 apple skin
一般来说，人和动物的皮肤或者可以食用的皮（一般都是薄薄的皮），都叫skin。
例句：
It's a crisp apple with dark red skin.
这是个有着暗红色果皮的脆苹果。
香蕉皮 banana peel
不能吃的皮，且比 skin 厚的皮就叫 peel 。像香蕉、橙子、柠檬、柚子等这一类的皮都可以用 peel 来表示。
例句：
I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk.
我希望人们不要把橘子皮扔在人行道上。
西瓜皮 watermelon rind
瓜类的厚皮或脱水的皮用 rind 来表示。各种香瓜甜瓜都是 rind ，陈皮叫 orange rind ；奶酪、熏肉的外皮也能用rind表示。
例句：
They didn't even leave me the watermelon rind or pumpkin seeds.
它们连半块西瓜皮或是南瓜子都不给我留点。
饺子馅 stuffing
例句：
She had already mixed the stuffing for the dumplings.
她已经把饺子馅和好了。
各种饺子馅的英语
ground pork 猪绞肉
ground beef 牛绞肉
shrimp 虾仁
cabbage 卷心菜
leek
Sam sun 三鲜
shredded carrots 胡萝卜丝

"On the night of the Lantern Festival this year, the moon and lights are as bright as last year." The Lantern Festival which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month marks the end of the Spring Festival celebration in China. This year's Lantern Festival falls on Friday, February 26th. People across the country usually take part in various activities to celebrate this festival. Let's see what they are.
“今年元夜时，月与灯依旧。”2月26日，一年一度的正月十五元宵节，是中国春节年俗中最后一个重要节令。这一天，究竟有多少传统民俗文化传承至今？
There are many time-honored restaurants on the bustling Shuncheng Street, such as Wushunzhai Roast Duck, Shengli Roast Chicken, and Tie's Beef.
顺城街喧嚣热闹，藏着郑州的老味道，五顺斋烤鸭、胜利烧鸡、铁记牛肉……
Liu's Yuanxiao is also located on this street. The shop owner is a beautiful lady who usually wears a headscarf when selling Yuanxiao. Since the age of 16, she has been making Yuanxiao with her family for more than 30 years. People intimately call her "Yuanxiao Xishi" (Xi Shi was one of the four great beauties in Chinese history) for her beautiful appearance and the tasty Yuanxiao she made.

During the Lantern Festival, buying "Xuehua Yuanxiao" from Liu's Yuanxiao has become a habit of many old Zhengzhou people, even though they have to wait in a long line.
这条街上还有个远近闻名的“元宵西施”——包着头巾卖元宵，她从16岁开始跟着家人做元宵，至今30多年了。从打馅到滚元宵，她都是纯手工 *** 。元宵节去刘家元宵排队买点“雪花元宵”，似乎成了很多老郑州人的习惯。
As night falls, the Fantawild Dreamland is brightly lit by decorative lanterns and lights. Lantern-decorated corridors, cute Boonie Bears cartoon lamps, and colorful lights hanging on trees create a fantastic illuminated world. During the Lantern Festival, it launches a number of folk activities including "Guessing Lantern Riddles" and "Floating River Lanterns", and offers thousands of free Yuanxiao. It is really a pleasure to view lanterns while eating Yuanxiao.

Even Zhengzhou specialties like spicy soup are hidden in answers.
