编者按:主题为“寒假”的澎湃第五届寒暑假征稿活动正式启动至今,我们收到了不少小画家、小作家们的作品。孩子们用文字、图像、视频,展示了他们眼中的寒假生活,接下来作品会陆续刊登。

今天刊登的是来自ValeyVast 英语俱乐部的Augie小朋友的投稿。Augie向我们介绍说,中国传统上说过年,是因为古时候传说中有一个叫“年”的怪兽,人们用爆炸声、火光和红色的物件来吓退怪兽。而今年,过年期间的“怪兽”变成了新冠病毒。让我们起来读一读他的作文吧。

作品:《A Special New Year》

作者:朱子昂 (Augie)9岁 海桐小学 三年级8班  

A long time ago in China, there was a monster called Nian. It was a giant and looked like a fierce wild animal. On New Year Eve, Nian came to a village and ate people. People were scared of Nian until a wise man taught the villagers that Nian was afraid of three things: loud noise, fire and red color. The next year, when Nian came back people hit drums loudly, set off firecrackers and wore red clothes from head to toe. Nian was frightened so it ran far away and never came back again.

This is an ancient tale in Chinese culture. However, this year we had a real monster. It was so small that we could not see. We called it Coronavirus. This monster could get into our bodies, making us cough, causing a fever and might lead weak people to serious diseases or die. Thus, many doctors and scientists can not sleep or celebrate Chinese New Year, but work days and nights to fight diseases and cure patients, finding ways to control this virus outbreak. It was said that this monster appeared because some people ate wild animals that should be avoided.

Originally, during Chinese New Year we could set off firecrackers, play with friends and eat New Year Eve dinner outside with our families, but this monster is so strong that we have to stay at home to protect ourselves. When we go out we must wear a mask like a Ninja, when we go back we must wash our hands thoroughly.

Although this Chinese New Year we are suffering because of this monster, we are still happy with our families. We also believe we will beat this monster and the world will be back to normal.
