春節的前一天人們俗稱為"大年三十"，這一天的晚上，稱作除夕，也叫"大年夜"。大年三十這一天在過年的過程中是最最重要的，若是有誰沒有趕上在這一天與家人一起吃年夜飯，會感到非常遺憾。

　　The Spring Festival Eve is called the 30th of the year. This evening is called Chuxi, or the night of the year. The last day of the last lunar month is the most important day in the whole Spring Festival. If one missed the dinner with his or her family in this day, he or she would feel very sorry.

　　特別是年三十，這一定要合家團聚

　　Especially on the last day of the last lunar month, the whole family must get together.

　　跟父母一塊兒團聚吃團圓飯

　　I am having a get reunion dinner with my parents.

　　這一天，所有的準備工作必須完成。這是大人孩子都興奮的時刻，準備了大半個月，為的就是這一天的到來。

　　On this day, all the preparation must be completed. It is the moment of joy for all adults and children. The more than half month preparation is for this day.

　　哎喲，我小時候，盼著過年

　　Ouch, in my childhood, I was always looking forward to the Spring Festival.

　　喜歡能放炮，吃好東西什么的

　　I like to fire crackers, eat delicious food and so on.

　　除夕最重要的儀式，就是祭祖和吃年夜飯，然后一家人團團圓圓的在一起"守歲"，守歲，就是一晚上不睡，這種習俗，有對逝去歲月的留戀，也有對新年的美好希望。

　　The most important ceremonies in the eve of the Spring Festival are the ceremony of ancestor worship and the Spring Festival eve dinner. According to custom, each family will stay up to "guard the year", which means to stay up to see the New Year in. This custom contains the nostalgic feelings for the past days and also good hopes for the new year.

　　我對春節印象最深厚感情的就是年三十晚上供飯，祭祀祖先。

　　The most impressive thing for me during the Spring festival is to provide sacrifices in the Spring Festival eve to worship our ancestors.

　　第一個就是祭祖的儀式，不忘記祖先的意思。祖先在家里面一年四季都供著的，但是在過春節的這個時候，我們要準備貢獻的東西，比如說吃的東西什么都在擺在祖先的這個牌位面前。

　　The first is a ceremony to worship ancestors, which means not to forget ancestors. Ancestors are worshipped at the home all around the year. But during the Spring Festival, we will prepare something to sacrifice. For example, we will place some food in front of the name boards of our ancestors.

　　大多數人在家中將祖先牌位擺在房內，供上食物供品，然后由長至幼依序上香跪拜。

　　Most people place the name boards of ancestors at home. After placing food and other sacrifices, they will kneel down to worship ancestors according to their position in the family hierarchy.

　　把祖先的牌位都供和祖先的那個，我爺爺奶有的相片什么的，都供在那兒。然后給他們上上菜，什么的，完了我們這才能夠吃團圓飯。

　　We will place the name boards of ancestors, and photos from my grandparents there. Then we will place dishes and other sacrifices for them. After that, we can enjoy the family union dinner.
