Spending his first New Year at a Chinese friend's home, Lucas finds red everywhere and gets an unexpected surprise.
Every Door Is Red
门上着的字,窗户上也是红的。
Red characters were pasted on the door, and the windows were red too.
Lucas
小王,你们家今天怎么到处都是呀?
Xiao Wang, how come your home is red everywhere today?
Xiao Wang
今天啦!好看,也让人高兴。
It's New Year today! Red looks great, and it makes people happy too.
The Whole Family Together
Xiao Wang's Mom
快坐快坐,我们要吃饭。
Sit down, sit down. At New Year the whole family eats together.
Lucas
哇,这么多菜!我都不知道先吃哪个了。
Wow, so many dishes! I don't even know which one to try first.
Xiao Wang
你看,妈妈给小孩一个的东西,里面有钱,叫。
Look, my mom is giving the kids a red thing with money inside — it's called a red envelope.
A Red Envelope for Lucas
Xiao Wang's Mom
这个给你,新年快乐!
This red envelope is for you. Happy New Year!
Lucas
谢谢阿姨!跟家人在,真好。
Thank you, auntie! Spending New Year together with family is really wonderful.
卢卡斯把放进,笑得很开心。
Lucas slipped the red envelope into his pocket and smiled happily.
