  Staying Up Late on New Year's Eve

  守岁的传统源自于一个有趣的民间故事。在中国古代有一个叫作‘年’的凶猛怪物,在除夕夜‘年’会从地洞里出来吃人。因此在除夕夜,每家每户都会一起吃晚饭,晚饭以后没人敢睡觉,所有的家庭成员会坐在一起聊天互相壮胆。逐渐在除夕夜守岁的习惯形成了,因此在中国,庆祝春节也被叫作过年。然而在城市里很少有人以守岁来欢迎新年。

  The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, on every New Year’s Eve, every household would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China, “celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing over the year (guo nian)”. However, now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.

  On New Year's Eve, people always stay up late, which is called "Shousui". At night, the families get together, drink and chat. They watch the New Year festival gala and enjoy some snacks (mainly sweets, peanuts and sunflower seeds). It is said that the parents can live for long if the young stay up late. They often sleep after the new day comes or after the New Year festival gala. And all the lights will not turn off for the whole night.

  除夕夜里,人们通常都会熬夜,这被称为“守岁”。在夜里,家人们围坐一团,一边喝酒、一边聊天,大家一起看春晚、吃零食(通常是糖果、花生和瓜子)。据说子女睡得越晚、父母就活得越长。大家会等到凌晨或是春晚结束后再睡,并且整晚都不会关灯。.
