春节禁忌 The Taboos On Spring Festival
Spring Festival is the biggest day in China. As this festival has a long history, so people keep some old traditions, such as what they should do to bring the good luck and what they should do to avoid the bad luck. Still the young generation remembers the taboo and they believe that avoiding these can bring them good luck in a year.
春节是中国最大的节日，因为这个节日有悠久的历史，所以人们保持了一些旧的传统，如他们应当做些什么才能带来好运和应当做些什么来避开坏运气。年轻一代仍旧记得避开这些禁忌，他们信任避开禁忌能在一年带给他们好运。
The first taboo is to avoid sweeping the floor in the first seven days of the new year. It is said that every family will collect some luck in the house. If people sweep the floor, the luck will run away and they will feel bad all the year around. So if my mother sees me to clean the house in the new year, she will be very nervous and keeps telling me not to sweep the floor.
第一个禁忌是要避开在新年的前七天里扫地。据说，每个家庭都会聚集到一些好运气，假如扫地了，好运气就会被扫掉，这样他们一整年里都会过得不好。所以，要是我妈妈看到我在新年里扫地，她就会特别惊慌，之后不停地跟我说不要扫地。
