双向翻译(二)　传统节日 + 观点看法
A
  In 2020, the spring equinox(春分), the fourth of the 24 solar terms(节气), fell on March 20. 1. It means the most lively days of spring have come. 
  The spring equinox marks the point when day and night equally divide the whole day. 2.这一天后,白天将比晚上更长。Therefore, it is not only important in China, but also in many other countries around the world. Spring Equinox Day is a public holiday in Japan. In Iran(伊朗), it is called“Nowruz”, which is also known as the Iranian New Year.spring怎么读怎么翻译
  3.The spring equinox is the best time for going out, admiring flowers and flying kites in China. There are also rituals(仪式) that have been kept over centuries, such as balancing eggs. The idea is that on the spring equinox, Earth’s axis(轴) is perpendicular(垂直的) to the
sun. So Earth is more balanced on this day. 4.使一个鸡蛋保持平衡一般情况下是困难的。 Because the yolk(蛋黄) is off-center. But on the spring equinox, it is believed that there are some special gravitational(引力的) forces that can help. However, this isn’t true. 5. If you focus long enough, you can actually balance an egg on its end any day of the year. All you need is a lot of practice. But balancing eggs is still a fun tradition for people. In some places, people paint the eggs in many colors and hold egg-balancing competitions.

  What does it mean to be Chinese? According to a survey, more than 40% of Chinese people believe the Chinese love the country and their families. 1. About one-third of foreign people describe the Chinese as hard-working and creative people. 
  From 1931 to 1945, millions of soldiers lost their lives in the war against Japanese aggression. After 1949, plenty of people worked day and night for the development of China.
  2.While the love of the country joins the people together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in Beijing, said, “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age. 3. 他们选择或者放弃一份工作时,首先考虑的是家人。 ” 
  Besides, the characters of being hard-working and creative also come to light. Sheryl, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, said Chinese people were hard-working when she saw some men send the package. She said, “It seems that those men never need to rest.” A foreign university professor also said, “4. 让我感到惊讶的是,实验室里的中国学生总
是能想出新点子。”
