好啊！听说雄黄酒可以驱邪避毒。

Hǎo a！Tīngshuō xiónghuáng jiǔ kěyǐ qūxié bìdú。

嗯，古人认为雄黄有解毒杀虫的功效，所以端午节喝雄黄酒是一种习俗。

Well, the ancients believed that realgar has detoxification and insecticidal effects, so drinking realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival is a custom.

那雄黄酒的味道怎么样？

Nà xiónghuáng jiǔ de wèidao zěnmeyàng？

So how does realgar wine taste?

有点苦，有点辛辣，但是酒香扑鼻。

Yǒudiǎn kǔ, yǒudiǎn xīnlà, dànshì jiǔxiāng pūbí。

It's a bit bitter, a bit spicy, but it has a fragrant aroma.

我们少喝一点，感受一下节日气氛就好。

Let's just have a little bit, to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
