Lantern Festival's temple fair

Hunk： Wow，there are so many lanterns to appreciate．Now，I can see why it's called the Lantern Festival．It deserves its name.

Hunk： What are they doing over there? People keep on gathering there.

Shirley： Did you notice the characters on the lanterns?

Hunk： Sure．But you know that I can't read any Chinese characters．What do they say?

Shirley： They are riddles ．It's a tradition to guess lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival.

Hunk： Very interesting．But I'm afraid we'd better do something else．Hey，look！There is a huge lantern there．Let's get close to it.

Shirley： It's really eye-catching．It's the biggest dragon lantern I've ever seen in all my life.

Shirley： Let me have a look．Oh，no．They are blessing poems．Hey，let's go buy some small lanterns as souvenirs for my parents.

Hunk： Oh，good idea．They'll love it.

元宵庙会

汉克： 哇，这里有好多灯笼可以观赏啊。现在，我知道它为什么被称为“灯笼节”了。真是名副其实啊。

雪莉： 是啊。人们都很喜欢这些点亮的灯笼和吃元宵。

汉克： 那里在做什么啊？聚集了好多人啊。

雪莉： 你注意到灯笼上的字了吗？

汉克： 当然了。但是你知道我不认识的。写的是什么？

雪莉： 它们是字谜。元宵节猜灯谜是一个传统。

汉克： 好有趣。但是我们还是做点别的吧。嗨，你看！那里有一只超大的灯笼。我们走近看看吧。

雪莉： 真是引人注目啊。这是我这辈子见过最大的龙灯。

汉克： 真的？那我可真是幸运。它的大嘴还在喷火呢。

雪莉： 真是激动人心。它用玻璃做的，看起来更亮了。

汉克： 它的身上也写了很多汉字。关于什么的？字谜吗？

雪莉： 让我看看。哦，不是，是一些祝福性的诗歌。嗨，我们去买点小灯笼给父母当作纪念品吧。

汉克： 哦，好主意。他们一定会喜欢的。
