介绍春节

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.

Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.

On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.

The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.

After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".

Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.

春节的英文到底是什么

“春节”的英文怎么说？Spring Festival！相信不少人都能脱口而出，毫不犹豫，因为英文课本里就有，从小背到大。然而，真实的情况未必如此单纯直接。

同一个春节不同的译法

翻开复旦大学教授陆谷孙先生主编的《中华汉英大词典》，我们查得“春节”有三个英文的对应，居首位的，就是大家认为的“标准答案”Spring Festival，此乃“春节”二字的直译。名列第二的是Lunar New Year，字面为“农历新年”之意，排名第三的是Chinese New Year，也就是“中国新年”。

一物多名是语言的常态，Spring Festival、Lunar New Year、Chinese New Year这三者大抵皆可，就像同一个春节，我们中文也可说农历新年、过年以及其他林林总总、不一而足的说法。

然而，问题就此结束吗？当然不是。

直接点，Chinese New Year不行吗？

还记得2010年年初，正值虎年春节之际，媒体报道了“春节”英文的争议。报道说，美国某些机构组织以“春节”的传统用语Chinese New Year来给当地的亚裔族群致上节日的问候，此举引来韩裔团体的激烈抗议。部分单位迫于压力索性改名，采用了貌似中性却冗长拗口的Asian Lunar New Year“亚裔农历新年”。

英文的Chinese New Year因为冠上了Chinese，所以某些族裔对此特别敏感，能轻易挑起他们的民族情绪。我是个语言工作者，愿从语言的视角出发，比较客观地对此加以探讨，让证据说话。

春节源自中国，在全世界的华人社会和韩国、越南都是最重要的传统节日。春节的英文有不同的说法，然若能登堂入室，收录于权威的英文词典之中，意味着词语通过了专家的层层认证，地位已经稳固确立，有其象征性的重要意义。

英文版的网络《维基百科》与陆谷孙的《中华汉英大词典》见解略有不同，英文维基的“春节”只收Chinese New Year和Spring Festival二者，未收Lunar New Year。由于Lunar New Year许多亚洲文化都有，英文维基因此另列词条，附上“互见”（cross-reference）的超链接，让有兴趣的读者前往参照了解。

我遍查多本英美出版的大型权威词典，发现Chinese New Year的收录率最高，其次为中文直译的Spring Festival，许多文化中都有的Lunar New Year竟无一收录，这个结果与英文维基不谋而合。我估计，英文词典做出这样的判断，可能是英语世界认为目前的Lunar New Year还属于自由搭配（free collocation），与词汇化（lexicalization）完备、适合收录于词典的固定搭配（fixed collocation），仍有一段距离。

Chunjie是得到权威认证的

故事还没结束。在我查阅各家词典的过程当中，赫然发现“春节”的音译Chunjie居然获得一本权威英文词典的收录：

Chunjie – an annual Chinese festival marking the (lunar) Chinese New Year. It can last over three days and includes the exchange of gifts, firework displays, and dancing. Also called: Spring Festival. Former name: Yuandan【Chunjie“春节”─标志着（农历）中国新年的年度中国节日。春节可持续三天以上，期间要互相送礼，有烟花爆竹的施放，还有舞蹈的演出。又名Spring Festival。旧称Yuandan】

在这本英国备受尊崇的《柯林斯英语词典》（Collins English Dictionary）里，以汉语拼音转写的Chunjie享有完整定义和百科全书式的介绍，虽然内容我们不见得完全同意。各家英文词典收录率最高的Chinese New Year在这本词典缺席，没有单列词条，反而降格隐身为Chunjie定义的一部分。Spring Festival虽另立词条，却只落得“又名”（also called；another name）的陪衬角色。“春节”的旧称“元旦”少人知道，竟也以音译的型态Yuandan出现在词条里。柯林斯对“春节”的处理独树一帜，性格鲜明，在我的心里留下了深刻的印象。

我上网通过谷歌搜索，发现Chinese New Year有高达2600万笔以上的网页资料，使用频率远远超过“春节”的其他英译：Spring Festival仅50万笔出头，Lunar New Year略多，但也不及60万笔。多年前喧腾一时的Asian Lunar New Year，只有微不足道的2万多笔，仅为Chinese New Year的千分之一，几可忽略不计。
