用英語說中國家庭生活 第21期:鬧洞房

The Nuptical Chamber

鬧洞房

Though many traditional activities can no longer be seen at a Chinese wedding，the spree in the bridal chamber is still common both in the country and in town.

儘管許多婚禮傳統已經不復再見，在村裏和小鎮裏鬧洞房依舊如常。

The spree happens after the feast when the bride and groom go back into their chamber.

這狂歡通常是喜宴以後，當新郎和新娘回到他們的新房。

Relatives and friends and neighbors, anyone at the wedding in fact, can come in to play all kinds of tricks on the new couple, especially the bride.

親朋好友還有鄰居，實際上婚禮上的所有人，都能參與惡作劇這對新婚夫婦，尤其是新娘。

They make a lot of noise so that there is an extremely lively atmosphere in the room，which is believed to be an inseparable part of a jolly wedding.

他們在房間裏鬧增加生氣，這被認爲是歡樂婚禮不可分割的一部分。
