春節那些事兒之一

House Cleaning

房屋打掃

To clean houses on the New Year Eve is a very old custom dating back to thousands of years ago.

春節打掃房屋這個非常古老的習俗甚至可以追溯到幾千年前。

The dust is traditionally associated with "old" socleaning their houses and sweeping the dust mean to bid farewell to the "old"and usher in the "new".

灰塵在傳統上與“舊”聯系在一起，所以打掃房屋和掃除灰塵意味著辭“舊”迎“新”。

Days before the New Year, Chinese families clean their houses, sweeping the floor, washing daily things, cleaning the spider webs and dredging the ditches.

春節的前幾天，中國的各家各戶都打掃房屋，掃地，清洗日用品，清除蛛網和疏浚溝渠。

People do all these things happily in the hope of a good coming year.

人們興高采烈做所有這些事情，希望來年好運。
