Unit 1 In China, we open a gift later.
在中国我们晚些时候打开礼物。
贝蒂:玲玲,生日快乐。
Betty:Happy birthday, Lingling.
大明:这是你的礼物。 Daming: Here’
syour gift.
玲玲:哦,你记得呀!惊喜啊!
Lingling:Oh, you remembered! What a surprise!
托尼:你可以打开它!
Tony:You can open it!
玲玲:我想我不应当现在打开它。在中国,我们晚些时候打开礼物。
Lingling:I don’t
thinkI should open it now. In China, we open a gift later.
贝蒂:课时回到美国,我们立刻打开一件礼物。
Betty:But back in the US, we open a gift immediately.
玲玲:那我怎么办?
Lingling:So what do I do? 贝蒂:你不必等了!
Betty:You needn’
twait! (玲玲打开她的礼物,发现一本词典.)
(Linglingopens her present and finds a dictionary.)
玲玲:噢,谢谢你们。我真的很想要一本(词典)。
Lingling:Oh, thank you. I really wanted one.
贝蒂:我们很高兴你喜欢它。
Betty: We’rehappy you like it.
托尼: 我注意到另一个不同。在中国,你们用双手接受礼物。但是在西方,我们通常不太注意那个。
Tony:I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands.
Butin the West, we usually don’t
paymuch attention to that.
贝蒂:那很有趣!我对了解所有的中国传统习俗感兴趣。多告诉我一些吧。
Betty:That’s interesting! I’minterested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me more.
玲玲:有许多。例如,在我的家乡,据说在春节的第一天你不能打扫卫生。你不能打破任何东西。那是不吉利的!
Lingling:There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say you mustn’tdo any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And you mustn’t breakanything. It’sbad luck!
大明:你必须只用红色的纸来包红色,因为红色意思是幸运。在春节那个月期间你最好不要理发。
Daming:You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you’dbetter not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.
托尼:不会吧!
Tony: You can’tbe serious!
大明:在中国的北方,人们吃许多饺子!
Daming:And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!
贝蒂:完美!它们尝起来太好吃了。
Betty:Perfect! They taste great.
托尼:我也喜欢吃饺子。无论怎样,春节还有一个多月呢。先让我们庆祝玲玲的生日吧!
Tony: I likeeating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’scelebrate Lingling’s birthday first!
