the lantern festival night-to the tune of green jade table

非辛弃疾徐元冲、徐明冲翻译

one night ' s east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers

And blows down stars in showers。

fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route；

Music vibrates from the flute

The moon sheds its full light

while fish and dragon lanterns dance all night。

In gold-thread dress、with moth or willow ornaments、

Giggling，she melts in

to the throng with trails of scents

But in the crowd once and again

I look for her in vain.

When all at once I turn my head,

I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.

Like most Chinese festivals, the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called "yuanxiao" or "tangyuan". These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or saly fillings. The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family unity and completeness.

与大多数中国节日一样，元宵节同样有自己的特色小吃，称为“元宵”或“汤圆”。元宵外形圆圆的，外皮由糯米制成，内馅或甜或咸。人们都说汤圆有两个象征意义，一为农历的第一个满月，二为家庭团聚圆满。

Stilt-walking, drumming and dragon and lion dancing are all traditional forms of festival entertainment. In Asia, it is not uncommon to see processions of hundred-foot long dragons, lit with flashing eyes and luminous bodies, accompanied by pounding drums, cymbals and brass instruments.

Today, the connotation of love in the festival has been almost lost, as young couples could date whenever they want and women are no longer confined indoors. But the lantern shows remain the focus of the festival.

如今，元宵节中跟爱情有关的含义已经消失殆尽，女性不再深居简出，年轻的情侣们随时可以约会。不过，灯展依旧是元宵节的重头戏。
