正是农历的十二月二十三，这天也便是小年，长辈也开始做起了一系列的准备，家里的各类“货色”也充足丰盈起来。清早，房屋中便充斥着清洁工具那美好的乐曲，这年的氛围也渐渐浓厚了起来。

This also is common in annual and traditional festival, this is sacred, before just be being compared today of the festival more grand, more luxurious.
在这无章乐曲中，我渐醒，着上衣装便被外公外婆叫了下来，只见往日的厨房被装饰上了红盘。李子，香蕉……五种水果，巴旦木，核桃……五种干果，一块巨型猪腿，几份最常见的素菜，被一群蜡烛所围着，都点上了灯。这在每年传统节日中亦是常见，这便是祭祀，只不过今天比之前节日的更加隆重，更加豪华。
Grandmother makes me eliminate all distracting thoughts immediately, absorbed ground goes hold a memorial ceremony for is done obeisance to, I put cerebrum immediately empty, already the play full marks former days / leather smiling face is strong facial clouds, both hands put the palms together closes double key point, what consider oneself only is serious with dedicated.

活动结束，我忙去问外婆：“外婆，为什么要做谢年呢？这莫非是迷信？”外婆朴实一笑：“非也！非也！这并不是什么迷信，这只是我们老百姓对‘新’年，‘新’生活的一种渴望，追求，只有我们怀着乐观向上的心，生活才不会向我们走反路，这也是希望来年风调雨顺，兆丰年的快乐，这更是一种辞旧迎新，把往年愁苦进化为新年欢乐。”不错，外婆所说的内容与我这些年的思考十有八九相似。
Think this, I understand eventually, perhaps spend the New Year saying to go up is transfer, namely piece the stepping-stone that lets people move toward summit summit from trough.
这一次次思考，我终于明白，也许过年称得上是一次过渡，也就是块让人们从低谷走向巅峰的垫脚石。

谢完年后，外婆就会展现自己的手艺，各类豆糕，和那盘情有独钟的杂素，都是谢完年后留下来的，对于我来说，什么样的风俗产品，我都能留下这俩字——真香！(文/张孙诚)
