墨西哥有哪些節(jié)日，在節(jié)日期間會(huì)做什么
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Hi Olga, how are you?
 
嗨，奧爾加，你好嗎？
 
B: Fine, Daniel, how are you?
 
我很好，丹尼爾，你怎么樣？
 
A: Good, thanks. I wanted to ask you something. I'm really interested about Mexican holidays.
 
我也很好，謝謝。我想問(wèn)你件事。我對(duì)墨西哥節(jié)日非常感興趣。
 
B: What?
 
什么？
 
A: Can you tell me something about it?
 
你能給我介紹一下墨西哥的節(jié)日嗎？
 
B: Sure but what do you want to know? I mean why are you interested in Mexican holidays?
 
好啊，你想了解什么？我是問(wèn)，你為什么對(duì)墨西哥節(jié)日感興趣？
 
A: What kind of holidays you have, what do you do in those holidays?
 
墨西哥有什么節(jié)日，你們?cè)诠?jié)日期間會(huì)做什么？
 
B: Well my favorite holiday is the Dìa de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.
 
嗯，我最喜歡的節(jié)日是墨西哥亡靈節(jié)。
 
A: What is it?
 
那是什么？
 
B: What do you think about when you hear Day of the Dead?
 
你聽(tīng)到亡靈節(jié)的時(shí)候，想到了什么？
 
A: I don't know. It's a bit scary, isn't it?
 
我不知道。有點(diǎn)可怕，是吧？
 
B: Yeah, kind of but actually for us Mexicans it's not really scary. We're so used to it. Actually that day we celebrate the, not celebrate but remember the people who are already dead especially in our close family.
 
是有點(diǎn)兒可怕，實(shí)際上對(duì)我們墨西哥人來(lái)說(shuō)，這并不可怕。我們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了。這個(gè)節(jié)日是我們慶祝，不是慶祝，是紀(jì)念已故家庭成員的日子。
 
A: OK.
 
好。
 
B: We put an altar for them which is like a big table decorated with flowers, bread, coffee or whatever the person that is dead used to like and we think that on that day that person is going to come back from the dead.
 
我們會(huì)為死者準(zhǔn)備祭桌，在一張大桌子上放上鮮花、面包、咖啡等逝去的人以前喜歡的食物和物品，因?yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為逝去的人會(huì)在這一天回來(lái)。
 
A: Really?
 
真的嗎？
 
B: Yeah and visit us and maybe eat the food.
 
對(duì)，他們會(huì)回來(lái)看我們，可能還會(huì)吃我們準(zhǔn)備的那些食物。
 
A: OK.
 
好。
 
B: It's on November first, the second too. The second, the altar is still there and after that we just take everything off and go on with our lives.
 
11月1日到2日是亡靈節(jié)。11月2日那天，祭桌還要擺在那里，之后我們就可以把上面的東西拿走，繼續(xù)過(guò)我們自己的生活了。
 
A: You keep the altar only on the first and the second?
 
只在11月1日和2日這兩天擺祭桌？
 
B: Yeah.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: OK and do you do it just for your family or do you go and visit friends or other relatives?
 
好，你們是只紀(jì)念家人嗎？還是會(huì)去拜訪其他親戚朋友？
 
B: No, we only keep it within the family actually.
 
不會(huì)，我們只紀(jì)念家人。
 
A: OK.
 
好。
 
B: Well sometimes we do it at school but still it's just like you know to keep the tradition but usually in the family.
 
有時(shí)我們也會(huì)在學(xué)校里進(jìn)行紀(jì)念活動(dòng)，不過(guò)這只是為了保持傳統(tǒng)，通常我們只紀(jì)念家人。
 
A: OK.
 
好。
 
B: Well another holiday I can think about is Easter. You have Easter too in Chile?
 
另一個(gè)我想介紹的節(jié)日是復(fù)活節(jié)。智利也有復(fù)活節(jié)吧？
 
A: Yes, we do have Easter.
 
對(duì)，我們也有復(fù)活節(jié)。
 
B: Easter we actually don't keep it traditional any more.
 
實(shí)際上，我們不再像以前那樣傳統(tǒng)地過(guò)復(fù)活節(jié)。
 
A: What do you mean?
 
你是什么意思？
 
B: You know traditionally we make plays where we represent Jesus and the moment when he died and everything right? But you know we don't reflect about it any more. We just go on vacations to the beach and celebrate and you know go to concerts and stuff.
 
傳統(tǒng)上來(lái)說(shuō)，我們會(huì)扮演耶穌，重現(xiàn)耶穌死亡的情景。不過(guò)現(xiàn)在，我們已經(jīng)不再這樣做了。我們會(huì)去海灘享受假期，去聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)，享受這個(gè)節(jié)日。
 
A: Just as Chilean people do.
 
和智利人一樣。
 
B: I guess it's kind of a trend now right?
 
我想這是現(xiàn)在的一種趨勢(shì)，對(duì)吧？
 
A: Yeah. We don't really think a lot about Easter.
 
對(duì)。我們不太關(guān)心復(fù)活節(jié)了。
 
B: Yeah.
 
對(duì)。
