你好!请问春节期间有什么需要注意的禁忌吗?
Nǐ hǎo! Qǐngwèn chūnjié qījiān yǒu shénme zhùyì de jìnjì ma?
Hello! Are there any taboos to be aware of during Chinese New Year?
王先生
你好!春节期间有很多习俗和禁忌,比如初一不能扫地、不能说扫帚之类的词语,避免不好的寓意。还有,初一早上要穿新衣服,不能哭,要开开心心的。
Nǐ hǎo! Chūnjié qījiān yǒu hěn duō xísú hé jìnjì, bǐrú chū yī bùnéng sǎodì, bùnéng shuō sǎozhou zhīlèi de cíyǔ, bìmiǎn bù hǎo de yùyì. Hái yǒu, chū yī zǎoshang yào chuān xīn yīfu, bùnéng kū, yào kāi kāixīnxīnde.
Hello! There are many customs and taboos during Chinese New Year, such as not sweeping the floor on the first day and not saying words like "broom", to avoid bad omens. Also, you should wear new clothes on the first day of the new year, not cry, and be happy.
丽萨
哦,原来如此!那初一可以理发吗?
Ó, yuánlái rúcǐ! Nà chū yī kěyǐ lǐfà ma?
Oh, I see! Can I get a haircut on the first day of the new year?
王先生
初一最好不要理发,因为理发谐音“理发”,有“离开”的意思,寓意不好。
Chū yī zuì hǎo bù yào lǐfà, yīnwèi lǐfà xiéyīn “lǐfà”, yǒu “líkāi” de yìsi, yùyì bù hǎo.
It's best not to get a haircut on the first day of the new year because it sounds like "leaving", which is not a good omen.
丽萨
