主播：Maelle（法国）+Selah（美国）歌曲：Steal the Show春节就要来了，梅莉和Selah和大家分享一下，她们眼中的春节。一谈到春节，Selah和梅莉喜欢得不行，她们直说：it’s always so vibrant (充满生机) and joyful (喜气洋洋)!梅莉和Selah分别喜欢春节的什么呢？梅莉：I always loved seeing all the decorations around the city and everyone being excited to celebrate. 我很喜欢春节的一点是所有人都穿红色，因为我很喜欢红色。Red is such a vibrant color, and it’s everywhere during Chinese New Year—it makes everything feel so festive (很喜庆)!|孩童时的梅莉在敲大鼓Selah：I love seeing Spring Festival couplets (春联) on the doorways, especially when people write them by hand. 它让每条街道都充满了年味。梅莉和Selah都特别喜欢春节的氛围。It’s like the entire city transforms (焕然一新). Decorations everywhere, lanterns, Spring Festival couplets. Everyone is in a celebratory mood, and the energy is just so happy. It’s hard not to smile when you see it—it feels like everyone is sharing the joy together.|孩童时的Selah第一次敲大鼓梅莉和Selah最喜欢的春节传统是……Selah：我最喜欢的一些春节传统包括放鞭炮 (set off firecrackers)、the festive atmosphere (节日氛围)，当然还有美食！春节有太多好吃的东西，比如饺子和年糕。|左边第一个小女孩为Selah梅莉：I love jiaozi as well! 我最喜欢的是大家都在一起一边看春晚，一边包饺子，and really taking the time to spend quality time together. It is so heartwarming (真的很温馨)。还有春节的装饰。到处都是红灯笼和春联，挂在门上或者窗边。Everywhere you go, you see red decorations symbolizing good luck (象征好运的红色装饰到处都是)。It feels like one of the most tradition-filled holidays anywhere in the world (这感觉就像是全世界最富有传统氛围的节日之一).春节不仅是庆祝的时刻，也是反思和展望的时刻。It feels like a time everyone can escape from the hard things in their life (摆脱生活中的困难)，and just celebrate all that has happened in the previous year, and look forward to the next (展望新的一年)。她们自己关于春节的难忘回忆（memorable stories）Selah： I remember many years we would stay up until midnight (会一直熬到午夜), and then we would go outside in our fluffy pajamas (穿着绒毛睡衣) to stay warm and do fireworks. Then, we would find a large hotel and go and watch their fireworks from below. It was so fun and something I’ll never forget.|孩童时的Selah在和小伙伴们一起看烟花梅莉：I remember one year, my family and I went to a small Chinese village to 拜年 to some family friends. 那个村子装饰得特别漂亮。There were red decorations everywhere, and you could still see the leftovers of fireworks on the ground and smell them in the air. It felt so traditional and festive. 作为一个五口人的“老外”家庭，我们在村子里还是挺吸引注意力的，哈哈。We ended up 拜年 to most people in the village because everyone was so curious about us! 我们拜年的时候，大家都穿着红色，桌上摆满了小吃。我们和朋友们聊天、吃东西，整个氛围特别热闹。It was such a joyful and unforgettable experience, and I felt so lucky to be part of such a beautiful tradition.Selah和梅莉强烈建议：大家有机会一定要在中国体验一次春节，真的让人难忘！梅莉和Selah现在都在其他国家，她们聊完这期节目，都说：今年我会特别想念在中国过春节的感觉。请留言告诉我们：你们有什么春节的特别记忆吗？ Happy Chinese New Year !
