今天是正月十五
距离年三十，已经过去两周了
不过“过年”的气氛并没有淡下去
因为今天就是正月十五元宵节了
一年一度的点彩灯、猜灯谜、吃元宵的日子
现在我们知道了
"Lantern Festival" 是元宵节的意思
Lantern 是名词灯笼，提灯的意思
元宵其实应该读作
Yuanxiao
这就是它们的英文
简单、粗暴
另外汤圆的英文是Tangyuan
这种文化特色比较重的词汇
直译，音译的也不在少数
比如《牛津英语词典》中元宵就写作yuan hsiao
其注解为：
a sweet rice-flour dumpling made for the Chinese Lantern Festival (15 January in the lunar calendar)
中国元宵节（正月十五）所食之一种糯米汤团甜品

(Chinese) Lantern Festival 元宵节
Happy Lantern Festival ! 元宵节快乐！
Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which marks the end of New Year festivities.
元宵节是农历的元月十五，标志着新年庆祝的结束。
The first month of the lunar calendar is known as the 元月(yuan yue). And in ancient China, the night was referred to as 宵 (xiao). So when the first full moon rolls around, this night is accordingly known as 元宵。
农历的一个月被称作“元月”。然后在古代中国，夜晚被称作“宵”。所以当第一个月圆之夜到来的时候，这个晚上就被称作了“元宵”。
关于元宵节的诗句
青玉案·元夕
辛弃疾
东风夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路，凤萧声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞 。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首， 那人却在，灯火阑珊处。
The Lantern Festival Night - to the tune of Green Jade Table
by Xin Qiji
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 into 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.
今日的元宵节，你和宝宝学会了没有呢？
