第課 Dì shí kè 春節 Chūn jié（Lesson 10 Spring Festival）
課文 kè wén （text）
春節是中國的傳統節日，是人們喜迎新年慶賀新春的日子。中國人很重視這一傳統節日，人們不論是在中國還是在外國，都會慶賀這個特別的日子。王老師説東亞系的中文老師準備開一個春節晚會，邀請所有學中文的學生參加。大家一起包包餃子，吃一吃，喝一喝，唱唱歌，跳跳舞，快快樂樂，熱熱鬧鬧地過一個新年。
家興跟家奇聽了以後興奮極了。他們真希望明天就是中國的春節。可是，一想到還要表演節目， 他們就犯愁了：既然這是中文晚會，當然得用中文表演了。他們左思右想，終於想出来了一個好主意。

English
Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday when people joyfully welcome the New Year and celebrate the arrival of spring. Chinese people greatly value this traditional festival. Whether they are in China or abroad, they all celebrate this special day. Teacher Wang said that the Chinese teachers from the East Asian Department are planning to hold a Spring Festival party and will invite all students learning Chinese to attend. Everyone will make dumplings together, eat, drink, sing songs, dance, and happily and lively celebrate the New Year.
Jiaxing and Jiaqi were extremely excited when they heard this. They really wished that tomorrow would be the Chinese New Year. However, when they thought about having to perform, they started to worry. Since this is a Chinese party, of course, they would have to perform in Chinese. After thinking it over again and again, they finally came up with a good idea.

Jiaxing: Really? And you call yourself my soulmate?
Jiaqi: Dumplings, right?
Jiaxing: Then why did you say you didn’t know, my dear?

Jiaqi: Great! (Starts singing) “You knead the dough, and I’ll roll the wrappers—”
Jiaxing: “I’ll mix the filling—what will you do next?” (Stops singing)
Jiaqi: Yeah, what should I do?
Jiaxing: Watch! Put the wrapper in your left hand, add a spoonful of filling in the center, then squeeze it together with your right hand—and that’s it!
Jiaqi: Wow, honey, you’re so smart! You explain it so well!
Jiaxing: And you’re amazing—you learned it so fast!
Jiaqi: Wait a second… are these dumplings? They look more like dog ears!
