今天是農(nóng)歷正月初八，西洪老家鬧元宵。太陽公公好象知道我要回老家似的，也起了個(gè)大早，暖洋洋地照著大地。我和爸爸、媽媽吃完早飯后，便坐車去西洪。

Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month. Xihong's hometown is having a lantern festival. As if father-in-law sun knew that I was going back to my hometown, he got up early in the morning and shone on the earth warmly. After breakfast, my father and mother took the bus to Xihong.

到了西洪，我們下車走在水泥村道上，只見家家戶戶門上貼著紅紅的春聯(lián)，門口掛著大紅燈籠，人們穿新衣，戴新帽，臉上洋溢著歡樂的笑容。

When we arrived at Xihong, we got off and walked on the cement village road. We saw red couplets on every door, red lanterns hanging at the door, people wearing new clothes and hats, and happy smiles on their faces.

到了家門口，爺爺、奶奶見我回去了，高興地合不攏嘴。爺爺馬上牽著我的手帶我去看熱鬧。剛走到路口，就聽到了“咚咚當(dāng)當(dāng)”的鑼鼓聲。接著看到一大隊(duì)人馬走了過來。有的舉彩旗，有的敲鑼鼓，有的抬菩薩，有的放鞭炮，還的的舉香燭……鑼鼓聲、鞭炮聲、歡笑聲彌漫了整個(gè)村莊。

At the door, Grandpa and grandma saw me go back and couldn't close their mouths happily. Grandpa took me by the hand to watch the fun. Just walked to the intersection, I heard the sound of gongs and drums. Then I saw a large group of people coming. Some hold colorful flags, some beat gongs and drums, some hold Bodhisattva, some set off firecrackers, and some hold incense candles The sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers and laughter filled the whole village.

看過熱鬧后，爺爺帶我回家吃午飯。吃過午飯，我們顧不上午休，便又出發(fā)了。來到村莊廣場，只見人山人海，有老人、有小孩、還有中年婦女；有得站著，有得坐著，還有的蹲著。大人們樂呵呵地看戲，小孩們在旁邊盡情地玩鬧。

After watching the heat, grandpa took me home for lunch. After lunch, we didn't mind the lunch break, so we set off again. When I came to the village square, I saw a large number of people, including the elderly, children, and middle-aged women; some had to stand, some SAT, and some squatted. Adults enjoy watching the play and children enjoy playing around.

我一直玩到戲散場后才跟爺爺、奶奶回家?；氐郊?，吃過晚飯后，因?yàn)槔哿艘惶?，我便早早地睡了。這一夜我睡得很香很香。

I didn't go home with my grandparents until the end of the play. Back home, after dinner, because tired for a day, I went to bed early. I slept soundly this night.
