13、可能对春节有不同的理静。这是我们杂志的三位志愿者的叙述，分享他们对春节的经历和看法。汤姆詹金斯，16岁，交换生，居住南京。这是我第一次在中国和我的寄宿家庭一起过春节。每个中国家庭都十分重视春节，准备工作从春节前一周开始。首先，房子从上到下都打扫了一遍。我的房东妈妈陈太太说这是消除过去一年的积尘，为新的一年做准备。接下来，汉字“福”倒贴在我们的前门上。据说“福”字被倒贴时，幸福就会到来。这个字看起来很酷。最让人兴奋的是除夕夜。烟花在城市上空燃放，瞬间照亮了夜空。孩子们虽捂着耳朵，脸上却充满期待的表情。陈太太说这是为了吓跑年兽。烟花很有趣！然后我们坐在一起享受丰盛的晚餐，大家互相祝福新年快乐。徐刚
14、，28岁，计算机工程师，在上海工作。我通常在春节前几周就开始计划回山西的行程，因为必须尽早预订火车票或机票。我非常细心地为父母挑选礼物。今年，我给父亲买了一瓶酒，给母亲买了一件漂亮的毛衣。每年，一坐上火车，我就会被山西方言包围，我意识到我踏上了回家的路。我不能经常回山西，因此每年回到家，我父母就会把这一年发生的事一股脑儿地告诉我，谁结婚了，谁有小孩了，谁上大学了。很高兴知道大家都在做什么。我们通常会吃火锅，很好吃！但是，吃什么不重要，重要的是和谁一起吃。和我的家人一起回到过去，谈论过去是一件很美好的事。当我还是个孩子的时候，春节是爆竹、糖果和装饰品，随着年龄的增长，回家和全家人待在一起则成了春节最重要的一部分。李燕，70岁，一位奶奶，居住黑龙江。春节是我们的家庭时间。我和丈夫都退休了。我们不经常见到我们的孩子和孙子孙女，非常想念他们。春节前几周，我们开始为他们回家做准备。日子慢慢开始变得忙碌起来。我们环能孩子们喜欢吃什么，我们需要买什么，需要准备什么菜。当每个人都到家时，我们的房子充离各种活动和声响，我们的孙辈一边跑，一边喊。一边玩。大人们坐在桌子旁谈论过去的一年。厨房里也很有趣，因为正在包饺子，在这段时间里，我们通常包饺子，因为它在这个场合具有一些特别的意义，它是我们用来祈求健康和幸福的标志，对我来说，家庭团聚的快乐就是春节。
