1.What public holidays do you like?
Without question, my favourite public holiday has to be Spring Festival. There’s nothing better than being reunited with family and feasting on lots of delicious food while you catch up with them. The highlight for me is setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and it brings out the kid in me.
毋庸置疑，我最喜歡的節(jié)日是春節(jié)。沒(méi)有比和家人團(tuán)聚一邊享受饕餮盛宴一邊敘舊更令人開(kāi)心的了。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)最精彩的部分是放煙花爆竹，這會(huì)帶出我身上孩子氣的一面。
2.Do you think the more public holidays the better?
Without a doubt! I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t agree. Public holidays give a break from the daily grind, an opportunity to go travelling or just relax at home. It’s nice to have something to look forward to when you are at work.
那還用說(shuō)嗎!我覺(jué)得你很難找到一個(gè)不支持放假的人。公共假日可以讓人從每日的勞作中休息一下，是一個(gè)旅行或在家休息的好機(jī)會(huì)。在工作中也會(huì)覺(jué)得有盼頭。

3.What did you do on your last holiday?
Last holiday I took a short break to Qingdao with my partner. It’s a seaside city and also famous for its beer, so we hit the beach, soaked up some sun and enjoyed a few glasses. It was nice to have a change of scenery and let our hair down.
上次放假我和我的伙伴去青島玩了一下。青島是一個(gè)海濱城市，那里的啤酒很有名，我們就逛了一下海灘，曬曬太陽(yáng)，喝了幾杯?？纯床煌木吧?，讓頭腦休息一下是很好的。
4.Do you think we should have more holidays?
Whilst I would like more holidays, I think we already have a lot of Chinese traditional celebrations and adding more would mean adopting Western holidays, such as Christmas or Easter. For this reason I think we should be cautious as we should not allow too many foreign holidays to dilute our own traditions.
雖然我想要更多的假期，但是我認(rèn)為我們已經(jīng)有很多的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日可以慶祝了，增加更多的節(jié)假日意味著我們要采用西方節(jié)日，像圣誕節(jié)或復(fù)活節(jié)。由此我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該警覺(jué)不要讓太多的西方節(jié)日沖淡我們自己的傳統(tǒng)。
5.What do you usually do on traditional holidays in China?
Holidays in China often revolve around the family – and eating! Many people will travel home to see relatives or pay respect to those that have passed away, depending on the festival. A lot of the festivals have a specific type of food that is associated with it, such as zongzi, a kind of rice cake, or moon cakes.
在中國(guó)，節(jié)假日總是圍繞著家庭和吃!很多人會(huì)回到故鄉(xiāng)，探望親戚或者對(duì)已經(jīng)去世的親戚表達(dá)敬意，視不同節(jié)日而定。很多節(jié)日都跟一種特定的食物相關(guān)，比如粽子，一種米飯類甜品，還有月餅。
