用英语介绍春节吃鱼的习俗
【鱼里的中华文化】

Fish can be cooked in various ways such as boiling, steaming, and braising. The most famous Chinese fish dishes include steamed weever, West Lake fish with pickled cabbage and chili, steamed fish in vinegar sauce, and boiled fish with spicy broth.
鱼的做法有很多种，例如煲汤，清蒸，炖煮。最有名的做法则有

【The Meaning of Various Fish】
【各种鱼代表的含义】
What fish should be chosen for the New Year feast is based on auspicious homophonics.
年夜饭上对于鱼的选择取决于它吉利的名字。
Crucian carp:
鲫鱼：
As the first character of ‘crucian carp' sounds like the Chinese word “good luck”, so eating crucian carp is considered to bring good luck for the next year.
它的第一个字和另外一个字“吉”的发音有点类似。所以如果吃鲫鱼的话第二年会带来吉利。
Chinese mud carp:
鲤鱼：
The first part of the Chinese for mud carp is pronounced like the word for gifts . So Chinese people think eating carp during the Chinese New Year symbolizes wishing for good fortune.
它的第一个字的发音则和“礼”字发音接近，而“礼”这个字在中文里表示礼物，所以中国人就认为要想来年殷实富裕就要在新年多吃鲤鱼。
Catfish:
鲶鱼：
The Chinese for catfish sounds like meaning ‘year surplus'. So eating catfish is a wish for a surplus in the year. Eating two fish, one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Day, (if written in a certain way) signifies a wish for a surplus year-after-year. If only one catfish is eaten, eating the upper part of the fish on New Year's Eve and the remainder on the first day of the new year has the same meaning (上鲶鱼下鲶鱼; 上年余下年余).
因其音似“年余”一词，所以吃鲶鱼则意味着来年的盈余。如果能在除夕夜和
大年初一各吃上一条鲶鱼，那么寓意以后财富年年享用不完。当然还有种说法就是在除夕夜吃了一条鲶鱼的上半部，而把剩余的那一半在初一当天吃完。 (上鲶鱼下鲶鱼; 上年余下年余)
