As it is important, people have figured out many ways to celebrate it. Some people will celebrate it with families and some will celebrate with friends. No matter what kind of celebrating way, it will be full of happiness.
由于其重要性，大家想了很多方式來慶祝。有些人會和家人一起慶祝而有些則會與朋友一起慶祝。無論用什么樣的方式慶祝，都是充滿歡樂的。
For me, I only have one day off, and I study far away from my family, so I can’t celebrate this special day with my family. But I will do it with my friends. We plan to have a wonderful dinner on the eve of New Year’s Day. And then we will talk and stay together to do the New Year countdown. On the New Year’s Day, we are going to going hiking or go shopping. It is certain that we call our family to share the enjoyment for the first day.
對我來說，我只有一天休息，而且我家里離我學校很遠，所以我不能和我的家人一起慶祝這個特別的日子。不過我會和我朋友一起慶祝。我們計劃在元旦前夕吃一頓豐盛的晚餐。然后我們會呆在一起聊天之后一起新年倒計時。在元旦那天，我們會去遠足或者逛街。我們肯定會打電話給我們的家人一起分享這第一天的快樂。
I believe New Year’s Day would be a wonderful day. My dear friends and families: In this New Year wishes God bless you! Fortuna clinging to you!
我相信元旦肯定是美好的一天。我最親愛的家人和朋友：在新的一年里，愿上帝保佑你!觀音菩薩護住你!
New Year's Day(二)
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
中國的新年開始于第一天的新月升起時，結束于滿月15天之后。新年的第十五天被稱為元宵節，那天晚上用燈籠展來慶祝，孩子們提著燈籠游行。
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
中國陰歷是基于月球和太陽運動的結合。太陽的周期是29.5天。 為了與陽歷相符，中國每隔幾年就會插入一個月。這和天閏年多了一天是一樣的。這就是為什么，按照陽歷，每年農歷新年都是在不同的日期。
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
慶祝除夕和元旦是家庭的事，是團聚和感恩的時候。傳統的慶祝活動是以宗教儀式來強調天地，家里的神仙以及祖先。
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
祖先們的犧牲是所有的儀式中最重要的，把活著的與那些已經去世了的聯合在一起。已經逝世的親戚寄予尊重，因為他們為家庭的財富和榮耀打下了基礎。
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations
紀念祖先們的存在是在除夕晚上為他們為他們安排一個家庭宴會。祖先們的精神與活著的人永遠在一起，慶祝一個偉大的群體新的一年的開始。共同盛宴稱為“圍爐”。這象征著家庭過去和現在這一代的團結和榮譽。
