　　在中國北方的一些地區(qū)，冬至要喝餃子湯;其他一些地區(qū)的居民則會吃餃子，他們認(rèn)為吃餃子可以免受來年的霜凍。然而，在南方，最常見的慶祝方法是一家人聚到一起，吃上一頓用紅豆和糯米做成的飯，他們相信這樣可以驅(qū)鬼辟邪。還有一些地區(qū)會吃湯圓。冬至的湯圓也可能會被用于祭祀，或者饋贈親友。臺灣人甚至還保留著向祖先進(jìn)貢九層糕的習(xí)俗。他們用糯米粉捏成雞、鴨、龜、豬、牛、羊等象征福祿壽的動物，然后用蒸籠分層蒸熟。

　　參考譯文

　　In some parts of north China, people have jiaozi soup on this day; while residents of some other places eat jiaozi, saying doing so will keep them from frost in the upcoming winter. But in south China, it is commonplace for the whole family to get together to have a meal made of red beans and glutinous rice. They believe, by doing this, they can drive away ghosts and other evil things. In other places, people also eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour. The Winter Solstice rice dumplings may be used as sacrifices to ancestors, or gifts for friends and relatives. The Taiwanese even keep the custom of offering nine-layer cakes to their ancestors. They made cakes in the shape of chicken, duck, tortoise, pig, cow or sheep with glutinous rice flour and steam them on different layers of a pot. These animals all signify auspiciousness in Chinese tradition.

　　餃子是深受中國人民喜愛的傳統(tǒng)食品。 相傳為古代醫(yī)圣張仲景發(fā)明。餃子的制作是包括： 1) 搟皮、2) 備餡、3) 包餡水煮三個(gè)步驟。其特點(diǎn)是皮薄餡嫩，味道鮮美，形狀獨(dú)特，百食不厭。民間有“好吃不過餃子”的俗語。中國人接親待客、逢年過節(jié)都有包餃子吃的習(xí)俗，寓意吉利。對崇尚親情的中國人來說，“更歲交子”吃餃子，更是歡度除夕、辭舊迎新必不可少的內(nèi)容。

　　參考譯文

　　Dumplings Dumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint---Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”. During the Spring Festival and other holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new year.
