问题     在中国,元宵节(The Lantern Festival)在农历元月十五这一天庆祝,标志着新年庆祝活动的结束。关于元宵节的由来,说法不一。有一个传说是这样讲的:一村民射杀了一只来自天庭的仙鹤,这激怒了天庭玉帝(Jade Emperor)。于是,他命令天兵在农历十五这一天火烧村庄。他的女儿把这个计划告知了村民。一位智者建议每家每户都在房子周围挂上红灯笼,在街上燃放鞭炮,制造村里着火的景象。在这一天,玉帝看到村子已经是一片火海,决定不去烧毁村庄了,从那天开始,人们悬挂灯笼、放鞭炮和焰火来庆祝这个节日。

选项

答案 The Lantern Festival in China is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar, marking the last day of the New Year celebration. There are different beliefs about its origin. One legend tells that a crane from heaven was shot dead by some villagers, which angered the Jade Emperor in heaven. So, he ordered his troops to set fire to the village on the fifteenth lunar day. His daughter warned the villagers of her father’s plan. A wise man suggested that every family should hang red lanterns around their houses and explode firecrackers in streets to give the village the appearance of being on fire. On the very day, the Jade Emperor saw that the village was already ablaze and decided not to bum it down. From that day on, people celebrate the festival by hanging lanterns and exploding firecrackers and firework.
