冬天的绘本故事系列4《春节》英文版
Years passed and nothing serious happened, so people were less worried about Nian. They no longer set up everything earlier，checked all the doors or stayed up all night during “Nian Guan” but lived a more usual life. The peace was suddenly broken when Nian broke into a village in Jiangnan on a New Year’s Eve and killed almost all the people.
Later, people figured out that Nian came into villages every 365 days to hunt humans deep in the night and went back to the woods at dawn.
The night Nian came was called “Nian Guan”, the last night of a year. On this day, dinner was ready much earlier than before. People cleaned up the kitchen, checked the livestock and locked up all the doors. After everything was set, they began to have dinner.
For this dinner might be the last one they could ever have, it was very splendid. Before the feast, people worshipped their ancestors, praying for a safe and sound night. Then every single member of the family gathered around the table to enjoy the family reunion.

春节熬年守岁故事英文翻译
"Staying Up Late on Chinese New Year's Eve: Translating the Story of Nianinto English"In the heart of this story lies Nian, a fearsome creature that would emerge from its hiding place every New Year's Eveto feast on livestock and even children. The villagers livedin constant fear, until one day, an old man devised a plan to scare Nian away. He suggested using loud noises, brightlights, and red decorations, as Nian was believed to beafraid of these things.In English, the story might begin like this:"In a small village nestled among rolling hills, a beast named Nian cast a long shadow over the hearts of thevillagers. Every New Year's Eve, as the clock struck midnight, Nian would awaken from its slumber, its eyes gleaming with a voracious appetite. The villagers would huddle together,their hearts pounding in their chests, hoping to survive the night."This translation captures the essence of the original Chinese story, conveying the tension and fear that Nian invoked, while also respecting the cultural context in which the story is set. As we continue to translate the story,we'll weave in the traditions of staying up late and the eventual triumph of wisdom and bravery over fear."The Legend of Nian: How a Village's Courage Transformed a New Year's Tradition"The tale of Nian unfolds with the villagers discovering the beast's weaknesses. They learn that Nian is terrified of the color red, loud noises, and fire. With this knowledge, the villagers embark on a mission to outsmart the creature and protect their homes.In English, the continuation of the story might read:"Determined to end Nian's reign of terror, the villagers put their faith in the old man's wisdom. They adorned their homes with red lanterns, believing that the vibrant hue would deter the beast. They crafted drums and cymbals, ready to create a cacophony that would send shivers down Nian's spine. And they prepared fireworks, a brilliant display of light and sound to scare Nian away."The night of New Year's Eve arrived, and the village was a sea of red and noise. The translation continues:"As the first shadows of night crept over the village, every man, woman, and child took their place, their resolve as strong as the red lanterns that swayed gently in the breeze. The air was thick with anticipation. When Nianfinally appeared, its eyes widening at the sight of thevillage transformed, the villagers unleashed their assault.""Nian, confronted with the blinding red and the deafening roar, was overwhelmed. It turned tail and fled, never to be seen again. The village erupted in joy, their laughter and cheers mingling with the fading echoes of the drums. Fromthat night on, staying up late on New Year's Eve, or 'shou sui,' became a symbol of the villagers' vigilance and their victory over fear.""The Legacy of Nian: Embracing Tradition in the Englishspeaking World"As the tale of Nian has been shared across generations,it has also crossed oceans, finding its place in the heartsof those who speak English. The story, now a part of global folklore, serves as a bridge between cultures, illustratingthe universal themes of courage and the triumph of good over evil.To further encapsulate the spirit of the story in English, we might add:"The legend of Nian, once confined to the oral traditions of a small Chinese village, has journeyed far and wide. In Englishspeaking countries, it is told with the same fervorand respect, often during cultural exchange programs or in classrooms studying world mythology. The story resonatesbecause it speaks to a fundamental human experience – the battle against the darkness that threatens our peace."In translating the story for an Englishspeaking audience, it's important to highlight the cultural practices that have emerged from the legend:In closing, the translation of the story of Nian into English is more than a linguistic exercise; it's an act of cultural preservation and sharing. It allows the legend to continue its journey, inspiring and enlightening all who hear it, and reminding us that the power of storytelling knows no bounds.。

After the dinner, no one dared to sleep. They stayed up all night, chatting with each other to get rid of the fear in the dim light of the candle or oil lamp.
People were very happy that they got through “Nian Guan”. They thanked for their ancestors’ blessing and congratulated each other on their survival through the night. They also set off fireworks and visited their neighbors. This is “Bai Nian” and the whole village was in festive mood.
Years passed and nothing serious happened, so people were less worried about Nian. They no longer set up everything earlier，checked all the doors or stayed up all night during “Nian Guan” but lived a more usual life.
This is New Year’s Eve, a time to wave goodbye to the past and look forward to the future.
The sun went down and darkness fell. Nian came out of the woods and tiptoed to villages. To its disappointment, doors were firmly closed and streets were totally empty. Only some sesame stems could be found piled up in front of the doors.
Later, people figured out that Nian came into villages every 365 days to hunt humans deep in the night and went back to the woods at dawn.
The night Nian came was called “Nian Guan”, the last night of a year. On this day, dinner was ready much earlier than before. People cleaned up the kitchen, checked the livestock and locked up all the doors. After everything was set, they began to have dinner.首发/全网独家/版权所有/谢绝转载

Once upon a time, a monster called Nian lived in the deepest forest. It was so fearsome and fierce that creatures up in the sky, down on the earth and deep in the sea could all be served as its meal. It hunted different creatures everyday and even human beings couldn’t escape from it. People were terrified of it.
The peace was suddenly broken when Nian broke into a village in Jiangnan on a New
Year’s Eve and killed almost all the people.
Only a newly married couple and some children survived. The couple, who was dressing in big red clothes, was decorating their house with red curtains; the children were setting fire to some bamboos which later crackled across and lit up the whole yard.
Nian went through the villages and got nothing but some sesame stems to chew.
After some time, the sun rose in the long crow of roosters and the fierce and foolish monster reluห้องสมุดไป่ตู้tantly went back to the woods.
For this dinner might be the last one they could ever have, it was very splendid. Before the feast, people worshipped their ancestors, praying for a safe and sound night. Then every single member of the family gathered around the table to enjoy the family reunion.
