安栋：我是安栋。

玛娅：大家新年好！

安栋：今天是年初一，玛娅，你穿得蛮漂亮的嘛。

玛娅：每年新年妈妈都准备新衣服，让我们在新年的第一天，漂漂亮亮地去拜年。

安栋：那么今天我们要去干嘛呢？

玛娅：今天我们要去给长辈拜年。

安栋：怎么拜年，你知道吗？

玛娅：拜年抱拳有讲究的，男生拜年抱拳要“左抱右”，小姑娘要“右抱左”。

安栋：原来是这样。不过拜年最开心的事，是还可以收红包。

玛娅：既然我们收到红包了，我们嘴巴总归要甜一点，对吧？

安栋：听我的！祝叔叔阿姨一帆风顺，二龙腾飞，三阳开泰，四季平安，五福临门，六六大顺，七星高照，八方来财，九九同心，十全十美，百事亨通，千事吉祥，万事如意！

玛娅：那么外国人发红包都说什么呢？

安栋：那没问题，好口彩照样一箩筐。

安栋：恭喜发财！

玛娅：金玉满堂！

安栋：生意兴隆！

玛娅：步步高升！

安栋：四季平安！

玛娅：年年有余！

安栋：岁岁平安！

玛娅：新的一年把最美好的祝愿传递给大家。讲了这么多英文，其实我的妈妈是上海人，我的爸爸是德国人。

安栋：那么我再用德文来给大家拜个年吧。

玛娅、安栋：恭祝大家新年快乐，谢谢大家！

玛娅：红包收到记得悄悄藏在枕头下哦！

Chinese New Year of Rabbit - Gen AlphaTalk丨Luck Talks - Tips for Greetings for Chinese New Year #GenAlphaTalk #ChineseNewYear #vlog #springfestival

Maya: Hello everyone, I’m Maya.

Anton: I’m Anton.

Maya: Happy Chinese New Year!

Anton: Today is the first day of the New Year. Maya, you look gorgeous.

Maya: Every New Year’s Day, mom prepares new clothes for making us look stunning when paying a new year’s call.

Anton: So what are we going to do today?

Maya: Today we are going to visit our elders.

Anton: Do you know how to pay New Year’s greetings?

Maya: Cupping your own hands is etiquette. Boys should hold their right hand in a fist in their left hand. Girls should hold their left hand in a fist in their right hand.

Anton: I see, but the happiest part is that you can also receive lucky money.

Maya: Since we accept red envelopes, we should give some best wishes, right?

Anton: Listen to me. I wish you every success in smooth sailing, business as good as two soaring dragons, an auspicious beginning of every New Year, peace in all four seasons, five traditional blessings knocking at your door, everything going in your favor, seven lucky stars bless you from on high, fortune coming from all directions, the whole universe united in one heart, every respect being perfect. All the best that everything is auspicious and prosperous!

Maya: What about in English?

Anton: That’s all right. There is a wealth of lucky new year’s greetings. Wish you good fortune / great prosperity.

Maya: May treasures fill your home.

Anton: Wish your business a success.

Maya: May you be promoted to a higher position.

Anton: May you be blessed with peace and safety in all four seasons.

Maya: May you always get more than you wish for.

Anton: May you have peace all year round.

Maya: Great wishes for the festival time. Having spoken so much English, in fact, my mother is a Shanghai native, and my father is German.

Anton: Let me pay a New Year’s greeting in German.

Maya & Anton: Gutes neues Jahr. Und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr (Happy New Year). Thanks.

Maya: After receiving the red envelopes, remember to hide them underneath your pillow.
