dà jiā大家yòng用gē shēng歌声hé和dēng guāng灯光,yíng jiē迎接shèng dàn jié圣诞节de的dào lái到来。

Everyone welcomes the arrival of Christmas with songs and lights.

píng ān yè平安夜zuì zǎo最早hé和jī dū jiào基督教yǒu guān有关。

Christmas Eve was originally related to Christianity.

xiāng chuán相传hěn很jiǔ久yǐ qián以前,yē sū耶稣zài在zhè tiān这天wǎn shàng晚上chū shēng出生。

It is said that a long time ago, Jesus was born on this night.

hěn很duō多rén人xiāng xìn相信,zhè ge这个yè wǎn夜晚kě yǐ可以dài lái带来píng ān平安hé和xìng fú幸福。

píng ān yè平安夜shén me shí hòu什么时候lái dào来到zhōng guó中国ne呢?

When did Christmas Eve come to China?

dà yuē大约zài在yì bǎi duō nián一百多年qián前,suí zhe随着wài guó外国chuán jiào shì传教士hé和shāng rén商人lái dào来到zhōng guó中国,píng ān yè平安夜de的qìng zhù庆祝huó dòng活动yě也yì qǐ一起chuán传jìn lái进来。

About a hundred years ago, with the arrival of foreign missionaries and merchants in China, the celebration of Christmas Eve was also introduced.

zuì最kāi shǐ开始,zhǐ yǒu只有jiào táng教堂hé和yī xiē一些wài guó rén外国人jiā tíng家庭qìng zhù庆祝。

At first, only churches and some foreign families celebrated it.

hòu lái后来,tè bié特别shì是zài在dà chéng shì大城市,yuè lái yuè越来越duō多zhōng guó中国rén人yě也kāi shǐ开始guò过píng ān yè平安夜。

Later, especially in big cities, more and more Chinese people began to celebrate Christmas Eve.

shāng diàn商店huì会zhuāng shì装饰shèng dàn shù圣诞树,jiē shàng街上liàng亮qǐ起cǎi dēng彩灯,nián qīng rén年轻人hé和péng yǒu朋友yì qǐ一起jù huì聚会,chéng shì城市lǐ里chōng mǎn充满jié rì节日qì fēn气氛。

Stores decorate Christmas trees, streets light up with colorful lights, young people gather with friends, and the city is full of festive atmosphere.

zhōng guó中国rén人hái还fā míng发明le了“píng ān guǒ平安果”de的xí sú习俗。

Chinese people also invented the custom of the 'Peace Apple'.

yīn wèi因为“píng guǒ苹果”hé和“píng ān平安”fā yīn发音hěn很xiàng像,rén men人们xǐ huān喜欢zài在píng ān yè平安夜sòng送píng guǒ苹果,zhù fú祝福jiā rén家人hé和péng yǒu朋友jiàn kāng健康píng ān平安。

Because the pronunciation of 'apple' sounds similar to 'peace', people like to give apples on Christmas Eve to wish their family and friends health and peace.

zhè这yě也ràng让píng ān yè平安夜yǒu有le了zhōng guó中国tè sè特色。

This also gave Christmas Eve a Chinese characteristic.

xiàn zài现在,píng ān yè平安夜zài在zhōng guó中国chéng成le了yí gè一个wēn xīn温馨、kuài lè快乐de的jié rì节日。

Now, Christmas Eve in China has become a warm and joyful festival.

bù guǎn不管shì是hé和jiā rén家人jù cān聚餐,hái shì还是hé和péng yǒu朋友fēn xiǎng分享lǐ wù礼物,dà jiā大家dōu都xī wàng希望xīn新de的yī nián一年píng píng ān ān平平安安。

Whether having dinner with family or sharing gifts with friends, everyone hopes for a safe and peaceful new year.

píng ān yè平安夜bù jǐn不仅shì是wài guó外国de的jié rì节日,yě也chéng wéi成为zhōng guó中国rén人biǎo dá表达zhù fú祝福、zhuī qiú追求měi hǎo美好shēng huó生活de的tè bié特别shí kè时刻。
