春节那些事儿之一

House Cleaning

房屋打扫

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

春节打扫房屋这个非常古老的习俗甚至可以追溯到几千年前。

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".

灰尘在传统上与“旧”联系在一起，所以打扫房屋和扫除灰尘意味着辞“旧”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.

春节的前几天，中国的各家各户都打扫房屋，扫地，清洗日用品，清除蛛网和疏浚沟渠。

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

人们兴高采烈做所有这些事情，希望来年好运。
