春节，
即农历新年，
是一年之岁首、传统意义上的岁节(年节)。
每每临近春节，家家户户都会大扫除，
那么大扫除的英文表达你会吗？
一、大扫除
Spring Cleaning
“Dust” 与“尘”是谐音（尘在汉语中的意思是旧的和过去的）。这样，“在春节前扫尘”是指彻底清洁房屋扫除过去闰年的厄运。
undertake thorough house cleaning 扫尘
sweep out the old in preparation for the coming year 除旧迎新
sweep out 清除；扫除
preparation /ˌprepəˈreɪʃn/ n. 准备
in preparation for sth. 为…做准备
勤劳勇敢的中国人民相信，只有把旧的坏运气赶走了，才能迎接美好新生活。所有的大扫除必须要在除夕夜之前完成，干干净净整整齐齐迎接新年，就是我们常说的辞旧迎新。
二、贴春联
paste spring couplets
“春联”或“对联”对立在中国是一种特殊的文学形式。春联是由贴在门口两侧两组对仗的句子组成，在门上面的横批通常是一个吉祥的短语。
New Year pictures 年画
posters of door gods 门神
paper-cuts 剪纸
paste /peɪst/ v.粘贴
copy and paste 复制和粘贴
couplet /ˈkʌplət/ n. 对句; 对联
poster /ˈpoʊstər/ n. 海报
不论是大富大贵还是贫困潦倒，学富五车还是乡野村夫，每家每户都要在新年时门前贴春联，以寄托对新年的美好祝愿。
