中国结 (Knots for New Year)

市场上，热闹非凡，充满了新年的气氛。丽丽和燕燕看花了眼，一个摊位上带着流苏的东西吸引了她们的注意，那就是中国结。她们看到，中国结可以挂在洋伞上做装饰，有的中国结还直接被做成了耳环。中国结的样式也多种多样，有盘长结、双钱结、纽扣结等，它们有的是用棉线编的，有的是用麻线做的，还有用尼龙和皮质的材料编织成的。丽丽和燕燕准备买一些中国结回去，尤其是红色的中国结，非常符合新年的主题。| The market was busy in the atmosphere of New Year. Lili and Yanyan were dazzled. They were attracted by the things with tassels on a stall, which were the Chinese knots. They saw that the knots can be used as decorations on brollies and some were made into earrings. Chinese knots have different types such as Pan-ch'ang Knot, Two Coins Knot and Button Knot. They can be made by cotton, twine, nylon or leather. Lili and Yanyan decided to buy some especially the red ones which accord with the theme of New Year.
