Lesson125——Going Back for Chinese New Year
第一二五課 返鄉過春節
◎ Reading
Mary : Hey honey, when are we heading down to your parents' place for Chinese New Year?
Joseph : I would like to avoid the holiday traffic, so I was thinking we could leave Thursday night.
Mary : Don't you think that's a little early? Chinese New Year's Eve is on a Sunday this year.
Joseph : Not really. That way, we can help my mother with all the preparations.
Mary : That's right. I probably need to help her go grocery shopping and prepare all the food for the big meal.
Joseph : Don't forget we also have to clean their whole house before Chinese New Year's Eve.

瑪莉：親愛的，我們甚麼時候要南下回爸媽家過農曆新年？
喬瑟夫：我想避開返鄉的假日車潮，所以我在想我們可以週四晚上回去。
瑪莉：你不覺得有點早嗎？今年除夕是在星期天。
喬瑟夫：不會啦。這樣子我們就可以幫媽準備所有東西。
瑪莉：沒錯。我大概得幫媽辦年貨，還要煮年菜。
喬瑟夫：別忘了我們也得在除夕前幫他們打掃整間房子。
