?????????? 英语中“春晚”居然这样表达 春晚，是中国人大年夜不可缺少的一个节目，我们来学习一下在英语中如何表达“春晚”，请看下面这段新闻： Performers were crossing their fingers going into the penultimate dress rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday. With the festival eve looming, nerves are starting to strain. As the most prestigious showcase for Chinas top performers, the Spring Festival Gala has no shortage of established acts queueing up to appear. But the gala always reserves some spots for the unknowns and the up-and-coming to make their national breakthroughs. 报道说，本周二，央视春晚迎来了第五次联排，这也是春晚倒数第二次联合彩排。 由报道可知，“春晚”相应的英文表达是“Spring Festival Gala”。“Gala”在此指“欢快的庆祝活动”，有时也可做形容词“庆祝的，奢侈的”，如：a gala ball（庆祝舞会）；the gala life of the very rich（大富翁们奢侈的生活）。 Gala 一词作名词用时，意为“欢庆，特别演出，表示欢庆的演出”；如：She starred at a fund-raising gala. 她是筹款义演中的主角。此外，gala 还可作形容词用，表示“欢庆的；欢乐的”，如： a gala night。“春晚”之夜就可称为a gala night。 再来回顾几个常见的节日用语： 春节 The Spring Festival 农历 lunar calendar 正月 lunar January 除夕 New Years Eve; eve of lunar New Year 元宵节 The Lantern Festival 糖果盘 candy tray 守岁 staying-up NOTES： cross fingers?? 交叉手指(迷信希望带来好运) penultimate?? pe.nul.ti.mate?? adj.（形容词）（1）Next to last.倒数第二的：最后一个的前一个 （2）Linguistics Of or relating to the penult of a word:【语言学】 属于或有关词尾倒数第二音节的： penultimate stress.在倒数第二音节上的重音 ??? n.（名词）The next to the last.倒数第二 dress rehearsal? n.（名词）A full, http: ninterrupted rehearsal of a play with costumes and stage properties.彩排：着戏装，使用完整的道具、无间歇的戏剧排演 looming? n.上现蜃景(光通过低层大气发生异常折射形成的一种海市蜃楼) nerve?? n. 神经, 胆量, 勇气, 叶脉? vt.鼓起勇气 prestigious??? pres.ti.gious? adj.（形容词）Having prestige; esteemed.有威望的；受尊敬的 showcase??? show.case? n.（名词） （1）A display case or cabinet, as in a store or museum. 玻璃陈列柜：一种展览箱或柜，如在商店或博物馆中的 （2）A setting in which someone or something may be displayed, especially to advantage.展示地：可供某人或某物进行展示的场景，尤指为获取利益 v.tr.（及物动词） show.cased,show.cas.ing,show.cas.es 【用法疑难】 To display prominently, especially to advantage.展示：突出地展示，尤指为获取利益 In theatrical languageashowcase? is a production designed to display usually unknown performers, ndthever
