One
legend
goes
that
the
beast
Nian
had
a
very
big
mouth
that
would
swallow
a
great
many
people
with
one
bite.
People
were
very
scared.
传说有一个叫“年”的怪兽，有一个大嘴，能一口吞下很多人。人们都很怕它。
The
custom
of
putting
up
red
paper
and
firing
fire-crackers
is
to
scare
away
Nian.
贴红纸和方鞭炮的习俗就是为了吓跑年。
However,
people
today
have
long
forgotten
why
they
are
doing
all
this,
except
that
they
feel
the
color
and
the
sound
add
to
the
excitement
of
the
celebration.
但是，现在人们大多忘记了为什么这么做的原因，只是觉得色彩和响声增加了过节的气氛罢了!
