Four in five survey respondents said they plan to have a family feast at home instead of dining out on the Lunar New Year's Eve.
五分之四的调查对象表示他们决定在家吃年夜饭,而不是出去外边下馆子。
About 9 percent of respondents said watching the annual China Central Television's Spring Festival Gala puts them in the festive mood, but opinions on the gala were divided among different age groups. The survey found only 4.8 percent of people born in the 1990s considered the gala important, but 15 percent of those born in the 1950s rated it as a significant part of celebrations.
约9%的人称看中央电视台的春节联欢晚会颇具年味,但对与春晚的看法在各个年龄段之间有分歧。调查发现,只有4.8%的90后认为春晚很重要,只有15%的50后将其视为庆祝春节的重要部分。
Cash gifts topped college students' New Year wish lists, followed by electronic products, according to another survey conducted by Horizon and telecom giant China Union, which polled college students in Shanghai who came from across the nation.
根据另一项针对来自全国各地的在上海求学的大学生的调查,红包是大学生们最期待的新年礼物,电子产品位居第二。
The survey found that each student will receive an average amount of 1,520 yuan ($240).
调查显示,平均每个学生会收到价值1520元(合240美元)的礼物。
In China, it remains a popular custom for older relatives to give red envelopes filled with money to young family members as a way to wish them luck.
在中国,亲戚中的长辈给晚辈红包以祝其好运仍是一项盛行的风俗。
More than 60 percent of those polled wished for cash, followed by a cellphone or an iPad, the least desirable gift was books, with only 0.2 percent hoping for reading materials.
超过6成的受访者希望收到现金,其次是手机或者iPad。最不受欢迎的礼物是书,只有0.2%的人希望收到读物。
"I do not object to the idea of books, but it is hard for others to know my reading taste," said Qi Siyao, a 24-year-old graduate student who studies in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province.
“我并不反对送书,但是别人很难了解我的阅读喜好,”齐思瑶,一个24岁的就读于江苏南京的本科生说。
