2、译文

元宵节是在农历新年的第十五天，在农历新年庆祝结束时举行的。灯笼已经成为中国生活的一部分，所以看元宵节并不奇怪。

人们通常在花园里、房子外面、船上悬挂灯笼。这些灯笼指示客人和祖先的新年庆祝活动。在十五天的盛宴之后，这些灯笼照亮了通往世界的道路。

丝绸、纸和塑料灯笼的形状和大小各不相同，通常是多色的。有些是蝴蝶、鸟、花和船的形状。其他形状像龙，水果和动物象征的那一年。欢迎的灯笼是赛马，其中人物或动物围绕着灯笼的纵轴旋转。

元宵节的特色菜是苑苑或塘苑。这些是用糯米粉做的圆形饺子。它们可以做甜点心，也可以做普通菜，在蔬菜、肉和虾米汤中烹制。饺子的圆形象征着整体性、完整性和统一性。

元宵节是一个家庭团聚的日子，无论是年轻人、老年人、富人和穷人都会感到很有乐趣。
