Ann: Do you Chinese people celebrate Christmas?

你們中國人過圣誕節(jié)嗎?

Lily: Of course not, we are Chinese. But nowadays, the new generation treats it as an important holiday.

當(dāng)然不，我們是中國人，但是現(xiàn)在，新一代的年輕人把它當(dāng)做一個重要的節(jié)日。

Ann: Oh? And what they do in Christmas?

哦?那他們在圣誕節(jié)做什么?

Lily: Some of the young people would send present to their friends, and some would send chocolate to lovers or someone they like.

一些年輕人會給朋友送禮物，一些人會送巧克力給他們的情人或者他們喜歡的人。

Ann: But Christmas is not a lovers’ day.

但是圣誕節(jié)可不是一個情人節(jié)啊?

Lily: Yes, you know, the Christmas means nothing to most of Chinese people. And the new generation would like to spend this day with friends or lovers.

是的，你知道，圣誕節(jié)對大部分的中國人來說不意味著什么，而現(xiàn)在年輕人喜歡和朋友情人度過圣誕節(jié)。

Ann: That’s true. Christmas is the most important festival in western countries.
