“春晚”怎么說
[ 2007-02-15 20:23 ]
2007年央視春晚即將粉墨登場(chǎng)，這樣的舉國盛宴可是全中國老百姓不可或缺的大餐。看下面這段新聞，瞧瞧如何用英語表達(dá)“春晚”？
Performers
were crossing their fingers going into the penultimate dress rehearsal of the
CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday. With the festival eve looming, nerves are
starting to strain.
As the most prestigious showcase for China's top
performers, the Spring Festival Gala
has no shortage of established acts queuing up to appear. But the gala always
reserves some spots for the unknowns and the up-and-coming to make their
national breakthroughs.
報(bào)道說，本周二，07央視春晚迎來了第五次聯(lián)排，這也是春晚倒數(shù)第二次聯(lián)合彩排。
由報(bào)道可知，“春晚”相應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是“Spring
Festival Gala”。“Gala”在此指“歡快的慶祝活動(dòng)”，有時(shí)也可做形容詞“慶祝的，奢侈的”，如：a gala ball（慶祝舞會(huì)）；the gala
life of the very rich（大富翁們奢侈的生活）。
春節(jié)將近，大家再來回顧幾個(gè)常見的節(jié)日用語：
春節(jié) The
Spring Festival
農(nóng)歷 lunar calendar
正月 lunar January
除夕 New Year's Eve;
eve of lunar New Year
元宵節(jié) The Lantern Festival
糖果盤 candy tray
守歲
staying-up
