多種新年問候方式 Different Ways of Exchanging New Year Greetings
春節是我們的主要節日。這是隻屬於我們中國人的節日。在春節期間，我們互相交換新年祝福，這已經成爲了一種傳統習慣。
In the past, people used to get up early and go out to visit their relatives on the first morning of Spring Festival. They said “Happy New Year" to the people they met on the street, no matter they knew each other or not. What a merry atmosphere.
在過去，人們習慣了早起，在春節的第一天早上去拜訪親戚。不管是否認識對方都會對街上遇到的人說“新年快樂”。多麼歡樂的氣氛啊。
Years ago, with the spread of telephones, people started to call each other to exchange greetings instead of going out. But they could talk with each other at least.
幾年前，隨着電話的普及，人們開始互相通過打電話交換祝福而不是出門。但他們至少還可以互相交談。
Nowadays, people have mobile phones, so the greetings are exchanged by sending messages. Almost all people send the same messages. Maybe time and feet are saved, but the atmosphere of Spring Festival seems to have gone away. What a great loss to our nation.
如今，人們有了手機，所以問候都是通過發送信息來進行的。幾乎所有人發出的信息都是一樣的。也許這樣是節省了時間和精力，但春節的氣氛似乎顯得已不在。這是我們國家的巨大損失。
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the traditional way of exchanging our greetings. No matter how quick and convenient the modern devices are, they can never substitute the traditional way, as nothing can replace human kindness.
就我而言，我更喜歡用傳統的方式來交換問候祝福。無論現代設備有多麼的快捷和方便，它們都不能代替傳統的方式，因爲人類的善良是無可替代的。
