名词解释 ：拜年是中国民间的传统习俗，是人们辞旧迎新的一种方式。我们通常知道的是正月初一家长带领小辈出门谒见亲戚、朋友、尊长，以吉祥语向对方祝颂新年，卑幼者必须叩头致礼，谓之“拜年”。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
On the first day of the New Year or shortly thereafter, everybody wears new clothes and bringsNew Year Greetings to their relatives and friends, wishing each other good luck, happiness during the new year. In Chinese villages, some villagers may have hundreds of relatives, so they have to spend more than two weeks visiting their relatives.
Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time, now, some busy people will send New Year cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit personally.
在春节的头一天或之后几天，大家都会身着新衣，向亲戚好友拜年，彼此祝愿在新的一年里万事如意、幸福美满。在中国农村，有些村民可能有数以百计的亲戚，所以他们不得不拿出两个多星期来走亲访友。
因为探亲访友需要花费大量时间，所以现在，有些忙碌的人就送春节贺卡来表达他们的良好祝愿，而不是亲自前去拜访。
【讲解】
