世博園中擺“滿月酒”
[ 2010-05-21 16:05 ]
越來(lái)越多的人將世博園視為舉辦宴席的最佳地點(diǎn)，已經(jīng)開始有家庭在世博園區(qū)的飯店里為寶寶舉辦滿月酒，還有不少人打算在世博園舉行婚禮、辦壽宴和生日宴等等。
“滿月酒”應(yīng)該是中國(guó)的小寶寶們過的第一個(gè)隆重盛大的生日，傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)俗中，滿月酒上是要吃紅雞蛋的，所以“滿月酒”也被稱為red egg party。
In Chinese culture, a baby's first month birthday calls for a celebration. Traditionally, the baby's name is also announced at this time. The parents hand out red-dyed eggs, symbolizing happiness and the renewal of life。
在中國(guó)，小孩滿月時(shí)要舉辦熱鬧的宴會(huì)，一般孩子的名字也在此時(shí)宣布。宴會(huì)上父母會(huì)給客人吃紅雞蛋，象征幸福和生命的延續(xù)。
Traditionally, this was also a time to reintroduce the mother to the world. The Chinese believe mothers are in a highly weakened state in the period immediately following birth. Just as English custom calls for new mothers to enjoy a brief period of confinement, Chinese mothers have traditionally been expected to rest indoors for one full month after giving birth.
滿月酒也是母親在生完小孩后第一次與親戚朋友見面的場(chǎng)合。一般孕婦在生產(chǎn)后身體都會(huì)很虛弱，正如英國(guó)傳統(tǒng)上會(huì)要求孕婦生產(chǎn)后閉門不出，在中國(guó)，剛生完孩子的母親是要坐月子的。
這里，“坐月子”我們就可以說(shuō)成是one-month confinement after child-birth。
