Hi大家好，我是Cara，欢迎收听我的频道Talk to Cara in Chinese.

今天的节目，想跟大家分享一个中国的传统节日：元宵节。
元宵节是在农历正月十五，也是春节的最后一天。在元宵节，我们的活动是去看花灯。全国每一个城市都会举办大型的花灯展览活动，如果你在上海，可以去上海豫园元宵灯会，如果你在四川省，可以去四川自贡市的自贡灯会，如果你在南京，可以去南京秦淮灯会，这些都是非常具有传统性和地方特色的灯会。在中国古代，我们除了看花灯，还会猜灯谜。当然在现代中国，还有一些城市保留着猜灯谜的活动。我会在这个节目的小测试环节给大家出几个灯谜。

当然，中国灯艺文化也存在着地域的差异。花灯是南方的标志，刚才说的上海，南京，自贡都是中国南方城市。如果你在中国的东北，一定要去看哈尔滨市的元宵节冰雕。

除了看灯会以外，元宵节还有一项习俗不能错过。那就是吃汤圆（南方吃汤圆，北方吃元宵，食物的做法不一样）。汤圆是由糯米粉揉成的圆圆的团子，象征着家庭圆满。汤圆的馅儿可以是甜的，比如芝麻，芋泥等，在我的家乡莆田，汤圆是咸的，我们会把肉末，香菇，花生放在一起，炒熟做成馅料，包出来的汤圆是普通汤圆的两倍，我们叫大汤圆。
有时候，我们做一颗特殊的汤圆，里面放入一枚消过毒的硬币。如果你吃到了这枚带着硬币的汤圆，那么它预示着你在新的一年里财运都会很好。
好的，今天的节目就到这里，如果你喜欢我的节目，可以订阅我的播客频道。我还做了一期关于红包的节目，感兴趣的朋友可以去我的播客频道收听。如果你有任何的意见或者建议，可以私信给我或者在我们的课堂上讨论。我们下次节目再见！

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL SOL Y EL VIENTO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Prefieres los días calurosos o los días fríos?

2. ¿Que cosas puedes hacer en un clima caluroso?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


El sol y el viento discutían para ver quién era el más fuerte.
El viento decía: ¿Ves aquel anciano envuelto en una capa?
Te apuesto a que le haré quitar la capa más rápido que tú.

Se ocultó el sol tras una nube y comenzó a soplar el viento,
cada vez con más fuerza, hasta ser casi un ciclón,
pero cuanto más soplaba tanto más se envolvía el hombre en la capa.
Por fin el viento se calmó y se declaró vencido.

Y entonces salió el sol y sonrió dulcemente al anciano.
No pasó mucho tiempo hasta que el anciano,
acalorado, se quitó la capa.

El sol demostró entonces al viento que la suavidad
y el amor de los abrazos son más poderosos
que la furia y la fuerza.
