春節(jié)農(nóng)歷新年起源的英語作文
The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring （the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature）。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree， however， that the word Nian， which in modern Chinese solely means year， was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
春節(jié)始于中國農(nóng)歷，其起源因太古老，而無法考究。其中有一種說法是年原來是一種怪獸的名字。
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day， an old man came to their rescue， offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said， I hear say that you are very capable， but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents？ So， it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
