上海新東方酷學(xué)酷玩夏令營(yíng)介紹，元宵節(jié)的英文是Lantern Festival。因?yàn)檎率迨且荒曛械谝粋€(gè)月圓之夜，所以叫元宵。
    The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
    說(shuō)完了起源，咱們說(shuō)說(shuō)習(xí)俗，元宵節(jié)我們做什么呢?我們賞花燈(colorful lanterns)、猜燈謎(solve the puzzles)、吃元宵(yuanxiao，glutinous rice ball)。
    元宵有甜的也有咸的，甜的通常會(huì)用糖(sugar)、胡桃(Walnuts), 芝麻(sesame),桂花(osmanthus flowers), 玫瑰(rose petals)、棗泥(jujube paste)等東西做餡. 咸的就可能會(huì)用肉餡(minced meat)或者蔬菜做餡了。
    最后，再給老外來(lái)上一首詩(shī)詞，你就等著被夸吧。背什么?這里有一首很有名的宋詞哦。
