A：Aunt Shirley, I heard the Yuan Xiao Festival is the name for the festival. Why did it get its name?雪莉阿姨，我听说这个节日的名字是元宵节。这个名字是怎么来的呢?

B：Well, the first lunar month is called Yuan-month, and in ancient times people called night Xiao. And you know the festival is just in the middle of the month.这个啊，农历的第一个月叫做元月，在中国古代人们把晚上叫做宵，而且你知道的，这个节目刚好是元月中间的那天。

A：Oh, I see. I also heard today is the last day for the street fair. Can’t wait to sample all the snacks.哦，我知道了。我还听说过今天是庙会的最后一天呢。都等不及想吃那些小吃了。

B：OK. Let’s go over there. For the Lantern Festival, you should never omit the Yuanxiao.好的，我们去那边。在元宵节，你当然不可以错过元宵啦。

A：What’s that? It gets the name from the festival itself. That’s really funny!元宵是什么呢?它和节日是同一个名字哦。这可真有趣啊!

B：Actually, they are small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. They are like Tangyun.其实呢，它们是用糯米粉做的小圆球，有点像汤圆。

A：Oh, I know Tangyuan. It’s a sweet snack, good for dessert.哦，汤圆我知道。它是一种甜的小吃，用来做甜点很好。

B：Yes. And also, we can find Yuanxiao with both sweet and salty fillings.是啊。不过我们的元宵有甜的还有咸的呢。

A：I’d like to try the salty ones. Where does that strange smell come from?我想尝一下咸的。那奇怪的味道是从哪里来的啊?

B：Oh, the smelly bean curd. My favorite!哦，臭豆腐。我的最爱!
