A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen on this idea. What do our readers think
We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don’ t understand why some people refuse to embrace the change.

Can’ t they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work I really don’ t think it’ s worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it’ s over. We work all year, so why can’ t one day be about spending time with family and relaxing

When I was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year. I’d get under my mother’ s feet in the kitchen, watching her make dumplings.
小时候，我最期待的就是除夕的年夜饭。不仅可以吃到平时难以吃到的美食，而且全家人能有机会团聚在一起。那时我会在家里跑来跑去，听大人们闲聊他们这一年的情况。我还会缠着在厨房做饭的妈妈，看着她包饺子。
Get under someone's feet" 是一个英语习语，字面意思是「跑到某人脚底下」，实际含义为：妨碍某人、碍手碍脚。

Not only is food production important but also taking care of the environment is important.
She’d put tokens in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef.
她会在有些饺子里放一点儿“彩头”：糖果寓意生活甜美，花生寓意健康长寿。到了晚上，我们都围坐在餐桌前，享受美食和团聚的乐趣。大家互相敬酒，谈笑风生，简简单单的家常菜吃起来比顶级厨师做的饭菜都要美味。
