英文介绍：Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar （阴历的）month. It’s a day for celebrating harvest, offering sacrifices（祭品） to ancestors, and worshiping gods（拜神）. But above all, it is a day for cooking Laba Congee（腊八粥）, a hodgepodge（大杂烩） of grains, beans and dried fruits used to invoke（祈求） peace and good fortune.
中文翻译：农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节，在这一天人们庆祝丰收、祭祀祖先、拜神。最重要的是，在这一天人们要做由各种谷物、豆类和干果熬成的腊八粥以祈求来年和平及好运。
