What Will People Do at Lunar¹ Year

人们度过阴历的活动

Each Chinese month starts on the day of the new moon. And the full moon comes on the 15th day of the month. The New Year always starts between January 21 and February 20. On the last day of the lunar year,there is a big family dinner. All members of the family except² married³ daughters try to be present at this meal，even if they have to travel⁴ many miles⁵ to reach⁶ the home of their parents. Old quarrels⁷ are forgotten，and everybody⁸ is happy. After the dinner,the children keep awake⁹ to welcome the New Year.

每一个中国月在新月的那天开始。满月在每月的第15日来临。新年总是在1月21日和2月20日之间开始。在阴历年的最后一天，有一个大型的家庭聚餐。家里除了出嫁的女儿，所有成员尽量出席这顿饭，尽管他们到达他们的父母的家中有好几英里。忘记旧的争吵，每个人都是幸福的。晚饭后，孩子们保持清醒，以迎接新年的到来。
