CNY Market Street-The Place to Be
|
S: |
So, this is your first Chinese New Year in Asia, right? |
A: |
Yeah! But I'm going to Bali for our week off. I guess I'll miss most of the excitement. |
S: |
You can still get into the holiday spirit in the weeks beforehand. Have you heard of Dihua Street? |
A: |
I think I went there once to buy some fabric. |
S: |
Yep, that's the place. A few weeks before Chinese New Year, it'll turn into one giant street market full of edible Chinese New Year goodies that people snap up by the bagful. |
A: |
Seems a bit like a Christmas market back home. Are there crafts, too? |
S: |
It's mostly traditional Lunar New Year snacks and gifts. The vendors let you sample everything: nuts, candy, dried seafood, pastries, drinks . . . |
A: |
Sounds like my kind of fun! I can buy snacks for my vacation. |
S: |
I always get enough to squirrel away for months ahead! |

年貨大街採購趣 |
山姆: |
這是你第一次在亞洲過春節,對吧? |
安琪拉: |
對呀!不過放假那週我要去峇里島。我想我會錯過多數令人興奮的事情。 |
山姆: |
你還是可以在新年前幾週感受節日氣氛啦。你聽過迪化街嗎? |
安琪拉: |
我想我買布料時去過一次。 |
山姆: |
對,就是那個地方。在春節前幾個星期,整條街會變成一個大市場,滿滿都是可食用的年貨,大家會成袋地搶購。 |
安琪拉: |
有一點像家鄉的聖誕市集。也有手工藝品嗎? |
山姆: |
大部分是傳統的春節零食和禮品。小販們會讓你試吃每樣東西:堅果、糖果、海鮮乾貨、糕點、飲品…… |
安琪拉: |
聽起來像是我喜歡的東西!我可以買一些零食在度假時吃。 |
山姆: |
我總是提前買好幾個月的份存放。 |
