年的由来(英文版)帮忙翻译一下
Story 1
Long ago, the Emperor of Heaven sent a monster, the Nian, to destroy the world on New Year because he was angry that people weren’t taking care of their animals properly. Everyone was very frightened. Each family had a farewell feast on New Year’s Eve and waited through the night for the world to end.
Finally, day came and there was still no sign of the monster. The people realized the Emperor of Heaven had forgiven them and rushed outside to say congratulations to all their friends and neighbours. On New Year’s Day, people still greet one another in this way, congratulating them on surviving into the new year.
Story 2
One legend has it that the monster, Nian, was terrifying everyone. It had a huge mouth that could devour many people with one bit. One day, an old man came to their rescue. He said to the Nian, “I hear people say that you are very mighty, but can you swallow other animals of prey on earth instead of humans? Humans are not worthy to be your opponents.” The Nian soon stopped eating people and turned its attention to these beasts of prey.
A while later, the old man disappeared, riding on the Nian. He was actually an immortal god and before he left, he told the people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors each year to scare away the Nian in case it ever returned. Red was the colour the monster feared most.
From then on, the tradition of celebrating the conquest of the Nian was started. The term “Guo Nian”, which can mean “Survive the Nian”, has now become “Celebrate the (New) Year” because the word guo in Chinese means both “pass over” and “observe”. This is the original reason why we put up red decorations and light firecrackers to scare away the Nian in case it ever comes back.

故事一：
在远古洪水时代，有一种凶恶的怪兽，名曰 "年"。每到三十晚上，年就从海里出来，伤人性命，破坏田园。人们常常在天还没黑，就关上大门，不能睡觉，坐等到天亮，第二天才开门，邻里互相祝贺。
在一个除夕的夜晚，年突然进入一个村子，把居民几乎吃光，惟有两家人没事，一是一对新婚夫妻，由于穿着红袄而平安无事，另外是一家的小孩正在街上玩耍带响的爆竹，把年吓跑了。从此，人们在除夕之时都穿红挂红，并大放爆竹，凶恶的年就不敢来了。后来天上的紫微星又用火球击倒了年，把它拴在石柱上，人世间才太平了。因此，每到除夕人们都烧香，请紫微星下凡，从而有了除夕守岁的风俗。
故事二：
相传，中国古时候有一种叫"年"的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。"年"长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避"年"兽的伤害。 这年除夕，桃花村的人们正扶老携幼上山避难，从村外来了个乞讨的老人，只见他手拄拐杖，臂搭袋囊，银须飘逸，目若朗星。乡亲们有的封窗锁门，有的收拾行装，有的牵牛赶羊，到处人喊马嘶，一片匆忙恐慌景象。这时，谁还有心关照这位乞讨的老人。只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避"年"兽，那老人捋髯笑道："婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把"年"兽撵走。老婆婆惊目细看，见他鹤发童颜、精神矍铄，气宇不凡。可她仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。婆婆无奈，只好撇下家，上山避难去了。半夜时分，"年"兽闯进村。它发现村裏气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。"年"兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。"年"朝婆婆家怒视片刻，随即狂叫著扑过去。将近门口时，院内突然传来"砰砰啪啪"的炸响声，"年"浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，"年"最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。"年"大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。 第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村裏安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。乡亲们一齐拥向老婆婆家，只见婆婆家门上贴著红纸，院裏一堆未燃尽的竹子仍在"啪啪"炸响，屋内几根红腊烛还发著余光……欣喜若狂的乡亲们为庆贺吉祥的来临，纷纷换新衣戴新帽，到亲友家道喜问好。这件事很快在周围村裏传开了，人们都知道了驱赶"年"兽的办法。从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹；户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。
