We're four days into the Spring Festival Holiday. Let's go with our reporter Ai Yang to the center of Beijing, to find out how the celebrations there are going.
今天是春节假期的第四天。让我们跟随记者Ai Yang去北京的中心地区,了解庆祝会进行得怎么样。
It's the middle of the week long Chinese New Year, and the festival atmosphere has reached a crescendo on Qianmen street. The nearly kilometer long pedestrian street in the heart of the capitol experiences a sort of burst of energy during each year’s spring festival - drawing crowds who want to enjoy the season, and admire the street’s 600 year history.
现在是为期一周的中国新年的中间,前门大街的节日气氛达到顶点。每年春节期间,首都中心这条近一千米长的步行街都感受到能量的爆发——吸引了想来享受这个季节、钦佩这条街600年历史的人群。
One tourist said: "It’s very festive here. I’m from Henan Province. But here there’re way more celebration and the crowd is much bigger."
一位游客表示:“这里非常喜庆。我来自河南省。但是这里有更多的庆祝方式,人群更加大。”
Another tourist said: "The buildings and the street all look quite traditional. It is a very cultural place."
另一位游客表示:“建筑物和大街看起来都很传统。这是一个非常有文化气息的地方。”
Or perhaps you can hop one of the street’s sightseeing trams - which first hit the street in the 1920s.
或者你可以搭乘大街上的一辆观光有轨电车——它们上世纪20年代就开始出现在这条街上。
How about some hot traditional Beijing Tea Soup? Priced at 10 yuan each, they’re really not cheap. And there’s really not tea or soup in it. It’s made with sorghum flour, sesame, sunflower seeds, raisins. Not bad - hearty and a bit sweet. Of course there’re other choices too- all adding up to a cozy festive atmosphere that will surely do a good job of pleasing your holiday belly.
来一些热的传统北京茶汤怎么样?每碗10元,它们实在不便宜。里面没有茶或汤。它是用高粱粉、芝麻、葵花籽和葡糖干做成的。不错——丰盛而且有点甜。当然,也有其它选择——所有这些都增加了一种舒适的节日气氛,这必定能好好地满足你节日的肚子。
