市政廳，在一起聚餐。有些人還可能因?yàn)樗麄冝r(nóng)場的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品而獲獎(jiǎng)，比如最大的西瓜或最好看的公雞。中國和日本都有中秋節(jié)，這時(shí)人們會(huì)賞月。在中國，人們還品嘗月餅。SpringFestivalsThemostenergeticeq\o(○,\s\up1(37))andimportantfestivalsaretheonesthatlookforwardtoeq\o(○,\s\up1(38))theendofwinterandtothecomingofspringeq\o(○,\s\up1(39)).AttheSpringFestivalinChina,peopleeatdumplings,fishandmeatandmaygivechildrenluckymoneyinredpapereq\o(○,\s\up1(40)).Therearedragondancesandcarnivalseq\o(○,\s\up1(41))，andfamiliescelebratetheLunarNewYeareq\o(○,\s\up1(42))together.SomeWesterncountrieshaveveryexcitingcarnivals,eq\o(○,\s\up1(43))whichtakeplacefortydaysbeforeEastereq\o(○,\s\up1(44))，usuallyinFebruary.Thesecarnivalsmightincludeparadeseq\o(○,\s\up1(45))，dancinginthestreetsdayandnighteq\o(○,\s\up1(46))，loudmusicandcolourfulclothingeq\o(○,\s\up1(47))ofallkinds.EasterisanimportantreligiousandsocialfestivalforChristianseq\o(○,\s\up1(48))aroundtheworld.ItcelebratesthereturnofJesusfromthedeadandthecomingofspringandnewlife.Japan'sCherryBlossomFestivaleq\o(○,\s\up1(49))happensalittlelater.Thecountry,coveredwithcherrytreeflowerseq\o(○,\s\up1(50))，looksasthougheq\o(○,\s\up1(51))itiscoveredwithpinksnow.Peoplelovetogettogethertoeat,drinkandhavefunwitheq\o(○,\s\up1(52))eachother.Festivalsletusenjoylife,beproudofeq\o(○,\s\up1(53))ourcustomseq\o(○,\s\up1(54))andforgetourworkforalittlewhile.eq\o(○,\s\up1(37))energetic/?en?'d?etIk/adj.充滿活力的；精力充沛的；積極的energyn．精力；能源eq\o(○,\s\up1(38))lookforwardto(＋n./pron./doing)期望；期待；盼望eq\o(○,\s\up1(39))that引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是theones。eq\o(○,\s\up1(40))luckymoneyinredpaper紅紙包著的壓歲錢pocketmoney零花錢eq\o(○,\s\up1(41))carnival/'kɑ?nIvl/n.狂歡節(jié)；(四旬齋前的)飲宴狂歡；嘉年華(會(huì))eq\o(○,\s\up1(42))theLunarNewYear農(nóng)歷新年lunar/'lu?n?/adj.月的；月亮的；陰歷的eq\o(○,\s\up1(43))which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，修飾carnivals。eq\o(○,\s\up1(44))Easter/'i?st?/n.(耶穌)復(fù)活節(jié)eq\o(○,\s\up1(45))parade/p?'reId/n.游行；閱兵；檢閱eq\o(○,\s\up1(46))dayandnight日夜；晝夜；整天eq\o(○,\s\up1(47))clothing/'kl??eI?/n.衣服eq\o(○,\s\up1(48))Christian/'krIst??n/n.基督徒；信徒adj.基督教的；信基督教的eq\o(○,\s\up1(49))CherryBlossomFestival櫻花節(jié)cherry/'t?erI/n.櫻桃；櫻桃樹blossom/'bl?s?m/n.花vi.開花eq\o(○,\s\up1(50))coveredwithcherry...作后置定語，修飾Thecountry。eq\o(○,\s\up1(51))asthough好像eq\o(○,\s\up1(52))havefunwith(＝enjoyoneself)玩得開心eq\o(○,\s\up1(53))beproudof為……而自豪(＝takepridein)eq\o(○,\s\up1(54))custom/'k?st?m/n.習(xí)慣；風(fēng)俗[第5～6段譯文]春天的節(jié)日最富有生氣而又最重要的節(jié)日，就是告別冬天、迎來春天的日子。在中國的春節(jié)，人們吃餃子、魚和肉，還要給孩子們送紅紙包著的壓歲錢。他們舞龍、狂歡，全家人聚在一起歡慶農(nóng)歷新年。在一些西方國家有激動(dòng)人心的狂歡節(jié)，通常在二月，復(fù)活節(jié)前的四十天?？駳g節(jié)期間，人們身著各種艷麗的節(jié)日盛裝，伴隨著鼓噪的音樂，在街頭游行，晝夜跳舞。復(fù)活節(jié)是全世界基督教徒的一個(gè)重要的宗教和公眾節(jié)日。它慶祝耶穌復(fù)活，也歡慶春天和新生命的到來。再晚些時(shí)候，日本就迎來了櫻花節(jié)。節(jié)日里整個(gè)國度到處是盛開的櫻花，看上去就像是覆蓋了一層粉紅色的雪。,人們喜歡聚在一起吃、喝、玩樂。節(jié)日讓我們享受生活，讓我們?yōu)樽约旱牧?xí)俗而自豪，還可以暫時(shí)忘掉工作中的煩惱。Pre-readingPleasematchthewordswiththeirpropermeanings.1．gain
