除夕守歲的英文的故事

除夕守歲的英文的故事1

　　在河北省滄州一帶，年年夏歷臘月，家家戶戶都從二十三這天一直忙到三十。三十晚上還要熬夜，叫做“守歲”。這個風俗，跟灶王奶奶有關。

　　玉皇大帝的小女兒賢惠善良，很同情天下的窮人。她偷偷地愛上了一個給人家燒火做飯的窮小伙子。玉皇知道后十分惱怒，就把小女兒打下凡間跟著窮小伙子受罪。王母娘娘同情女兒，從中講情，玉皇才勉強地給窮小伙封了個“灶王的職位”。窮小伙成了家家戶戶的“灶王爺”，玉皇的小女兒自然就成了“灶王奶奶”了。

　　灶王奶奶深知百姓的疾苦，就常常以回娘家探親為名，從天上帶些吃的、喝的、穿的、用的東西回來分給窮百姓們。玉皇本來就嫌棄窮女婿和小女兒，又聽說小女兒從天上往回帶東西，非常生氣，就規定只準他們每年臘月二十三日回天宮一趟，其余時間不準回天了。

　　第二年，眼看快過年了，可是窮百姓們還是缺這少那的，有的連鍋蓋都揭不開了。灶王奶奶看在眼里，疼在心里。臘月二十三到了，她打算回娘家去給窮百姓們要點吃的.東西回來。可是，自己家里連點面星星也沒有了，路上沒干糧咋辦哪?百姓們知道后，就你湊一把我湊一把地弄了些面，烙了兩張餅，給灶王奶奶帶著上路了。

　　灶王奶奶回到天上，向玉皇大帝講了人間苦情，可玉皇大帝不但不同情，還嫌女兒帶回一身窮氣，讓她當晚就回去。灶王奶奶氣得立即就要走，轉念一想，不行，兩手空空回去怎么向百姓們交待呀?再說，也不能便宜了狠心的父親。這時，正好王母娘娘也過來相留，她便順勢說：“俺不走了，明天扎把掃帚帶回去掃掃窮氣。”

　　二十四這天，灶王奶奶正在扎掃帚，玉皇來催她快回去。她說：“催啥哩，眼看要過年了，家里沒有豆腐，明日俺要拐豆腐哩。”

　　Staying Up Late on New Year's Eve

　　守歲的傳統源自于一個有趣的民間故事。在中國古代有一個叫作‘年’的兇猛怪物，在除夕夜‘年’會從地洞里出來吃人。因此在除夕夜，每家每戶都會一起吃晚飯，晚飯以后沒人敢睡覺，所有的家庭成員會坐在一起聊天互相壯膽。逐漸在除夕夜守歲的.習慣形成了，因此在中國，慶祝春節也被叫作過年。然而在城市里很少有人以守歲來歡迎新年。

　　The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, on every New Year’s Eve, every household would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China, “celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing over the year (guo nian)”. However, now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.

　　On New Year's Eve, people always stay up late, which is called "Shousui". At night, the families get together, drink and chat. They watch the New Year festival gala and enjoy some snacks (mainly sweets, peanuts and sunflower seeds). It is said that the parents can live for long if the young stay up late. They often sleep after the new day comes or after the New Year festival gala. And all the lights will not turn off for the whole night.

　　除夕夜里，人們通常都會熬夜，這被稱為“守歲”。在夜里，家人們圍坐一團，一邊喝酒、一邊聊天，大家一起看春晚、吃零食(通常是糖果、花生和瓜子)。據說子女睡得越晚、父母就活得越長。大家會等到凌晨或是春晚結束后再睡，并且整晚都不會關燈。
