今天是除夕,在我们祖先活着的时候,也有一段故事呢。
Today is new year's Eve. When our ancestors were alive, there was a story.
当时除夕也称做为年。年是一种可怕的怪兽,每年除夕的夜晚都来吃人。所以人又生气,又害怕,后来,大家都很了解年兽,又知道年最怕红的颜色、火光还有最响的声音。从那天起,人们就再也不怕年兽了。
New year's Eve was also called the year. New year's Eve is a terrible monster. It comes to eat people every night on New Year's Eve. So people are angry and afraid. Later, we all know the beast of the year, and we know that the red color, the fire light and the loudest sound are the most afraid of the year. From that day on, people are no longer afraid of the beast.
这天,人们把红对联粘到了门上,在外面的院子里放火花和自己家做的爆竹。年兽来了,他一点也不相信自己的眼睛,家家户户的门上粘着红对联,院里放着火花、爆竹。年兽吓的撒腿就跑。第二天,每个人都给亲人、朋友拜年。所以,每年除夕人们都放鞭炮、贴对联。
On this day, people glued the red couplet to the door, and put sparks and firecrackers made by their own home in the yard outside. When Nian Shou came, he didn't believe his eyes at all. There were red couplets on the doors of every family. There were sparks and firecrackers in the courtyard. The beast is scared and runs. The next day, everyone paid new year's greetings to their relatives and friends. So every new year's Eve, people set off firecrackers and pasted couplets.
