In ancient times, there are monsters called" year", form if the lion and unicorn. Timing appear to harm people and livestock, people have no uniform method. One time," " entered a village, coincidence wear red, burning bamboo poles heating," crackling " explosion sound, lights flashing," " frightened channeling panic. So people know " year", during the "years", each and every family door home furnishing, pasted the red, burning firecrackers to drive "". " Year" fruit come no longer. People that have the "year", beat gongs and sound drums, called each other" Congratulations", was" have the spring festival".
古时，有怪兽名曰“年”，形若狮子而独角。定时出现伤害人畜，人们苦无制服之法。一次，“年”闯入某村，巧遇穿红衣，燃竹竿取暖者，“噼啪”爆炸有声，红光闪耀，“年”惊窜奔逃。于是人们认识“年”性，每逢“年”出时，家家户户闭门家居，贴红联，燃爆竹以驱“年”。“年”果不再来。人们庆幸过了“年关”，敲锣打鼓，互称“恭喜”，从此有了“过年”。
写作思路：主要写出年兽的故事。
A long time ago, there was a kind of monster called "Xi". It would come out to hurt people at the end of every year. Even the kitchen god, who was protecting the common people, could not help it. So the kitchen god invited a child prodigy named "Nian".
很久以前，有种怪兽叫“夕”，它在每年的年关都要出来伤人，连保护老百姓的灶王爷也拿它没办法，于是灶王爷上天请来了一位叫做“年”的神童。
The child prodigy has high magic power. It uses red silk and bamboo sticks that are burned in the fire to destroy the beast. This day happens to be the last day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to thank and commemorate the Lunar New Year's Eve, people call the last day of the lunar calendar "New Year's Eve" and the first day of the new year as Chinese New Year's Eve.
神童法力高强，用红绸和放在火中烧得劈啪作响的竹竿消灭了夕兽。这一天正好是腊月的最后一天，老百姓为了感谢和纪念年在这一天除掉了夕，就把农历每年的最后一天叫“除夕”，把新年的第一天叫做过年。
People hope that every family will have red silk and firecrackers in their hands, so red silk and bamboo poles burned in the fire have gradually evolved into red couplets and firecrackers that every family has during the new year. This legend about the year can be said to be clear and well-organized.
百姓希望家家都有年手中的红绸和鞭炮，于是红绸和放在火中烧的竹竿逐渐演变成了家家户户过年时都有的红对联、红鞭炮。这个关于年的传说可说条理清晰、有章可循。
