-- Fourteen-year-old Chen Yiyue, who is half-Chinese, half-French, has
always relished the atmosphere of a Chinese Spring Festival celebration.
北京-14岁的陈一悦有着一半中国血统、一半法国血统，非常喜欢中国春节的节日氛围。
When her mother invites friends to dine with them during that
festival, the table is full of delicious food, ladies all wear red and
grandparents give her cash-stuffed red envelopes.
每当春节，她母亲邀请朋友们来家里吃饭时，桌上总是摆满了丰盛的食物，女士们都穿着红色的衣服，爷爷奶奶还会给她装满压岁钱的红包。
Yiyue’s father Herve Delmaire immediately fell in love with the
festival when they started celebrating it about 10 years ago, and
actively joins in the preparations each year, always rushing to decorate
rooms with red lanterns.
一悦的父亲Herve
Delmaire在10年前第一次开始庆祝春节时，就立刻爱上了这个节日，他每年都会积极参与节日的筹备工作，忙着挂红灯笼来装扮房屋。
Now, their French friends ask the family each year on what day they
celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
现在，他们的法国朋友每年都会问他们哪一天庆祝中国农历新年。
For Yiyue’s mother Chen Li, the Spring Festival celebration is more
than a tradition to keep the memory from her hometown and home country
alive.
对于一悦的妈妈陈莉而言，春节不仅仅是保留她家乡和祖国鲜活记忆的一项传统而已。
It is also a chance for her husband and French friends to share in the
joy and warmth of the traditional Chinese festival, and send good wishes
to each other for the next year.
春节更是提供了一个机会，让她丈夫和法国朋友们分享中国传统节日的温暖和快乐、送上来年真挚的祝福。
The themes of the festival, including reunion, luck, peace, affluence,
good health and safety, are all ideals that Chinese people have held for
thousands of years, said Feng Jicai, a famous writer and president of
the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association.
著名作家、中国民间文学和艺术协会主席冯骥才说：春节的主题包含团圆、好运、和平、富足、健康和平安，都是中国人民上千年来的美好愿望。
In order to be with families at the most important festival of the
year, Chinese people travel long distances to go back home, as 2.9
billion trips are expected to be made during this holiday season.
为了在一年中最重要的节日与家人团聚，中国人民在节日期间会长途跋涉赶回家乡。节日期间将预计达到29亿人次旅客。
However faraway and inconvenient -- even settling with a standing
ticket for a 20-hour-plus trip -- Chinese people would not be willing to
miss the annual family reunion.
不论多么遥远、路途多么艰辛-即使买到站票站20多个小时，中国人民都不愿错过一年一度阖家团聚的机会。
They go home, bring gifts, hand out red envelopes to seniors and
children, and offer their best wishes to each other for a good year.
他们带上礼物，回到家乡，给长辈和孩子发红包，互相送上新年问候和祝福。
The festival, an occasion which features exciting family reunions and
sincere caring for families and friends, is also known for its
inclusiveness, which allows people from across the world to join the
celebration regardless of their cultural, racial and religious
backgrounds.
