In China, the Spring Festival is one of the most significant and lively ancient festivals, which symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future.

However, wherever in China, people will have a family reunion during the festival, eating New Year cakes, dumplings and various hearty meals, decorating the houses with lanterns and festoons, setting off firecrackers and blessing each others.
翻译详解:
1.春节:翻译为the Spring Festival,注意前面一定要加上定冠词the。—般说来,因际惯例假日前面通常不加the,但是中国的大多数传统节日前面都需要加the。
2.据记载:对于这祌没有明确指出记载来源的句子,一般翻译为it is recorded that...如果后面给出了记载的来源,则可以译为according to...。
3.过春节:过春节实际就是“庆祝春节这个节日”,所以可译为celebrate the Spring Festival,用celebrate 来表达“过…的含义”。
4.全家团圆:翻译为family reunion,"—家人从四面八方赶回来重聚在一起", 就是“全家团圆”,family reunion可以简洁、准确地表达出这一意思。
5.张灯结彩:意思就是用灯饰和花彩装饰房屋,因此可译为decorate the houses with lanterns and festoons。
