过生日

On a typical birthday party,everyone who knows you will say"Happy Birthday" to you.You will receive birthday cards with greetings like" Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday"or "Many Happy Returns of the day"on them.Perhaps there will be a birthday party where your family and friends bring you blessing.Near the end of the party,there will be a special birthday cake which has small candles on it,one for each year of your life.First someone lights the candles and turns off the lights.Then everyone sings "Happy Birthday".The most important moment of the party is when the person whose birthday it is closes his eyes,secretly makes a wish and then blows out the lighted candles.People believe that the wish will come ture if they blow out all the candles on the first try.After that the cake is cut into pieces,and every one has a piece.

在典型的生日派对上，认识你的人都会给你说声“生日快乐”。你会收到生日卡，上面写着“生日快乐”或“年年有今日，岁岁有今朝”这样的祝福语。可能还有一个生日派对，是你家人和朋友送给你祝福的。在派对行将结束之际，会有一个特别的蛋糕，上面插着小蜡烛，一根代表你生命的一年。首先，有人点亮蜡烛，关灯。接着，大家唱生日歌。派对的最重要时刻是寿星闭上眼睛，偷偷地许个愿，然后吹灭点亮的蜡烛。人们相信，如果第一次吹就能把蜡烛全都吹灭，愿望会成真。这之后是切蛋糕，每人一块。
