元日   
         王安石

爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。
千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。
   

  New Year’s Day   by Wang Anshi
The noise of crackers sends the old year away,
The spring wind makes New Year wine warm;
The bright sun shines thousands of houses,
New charms replace the old ones to protect us.
      
为了押韵，稍微改变一点词序：
The noise of crackers sends away the old last year,
The spring wind makes  wine warm for New Year;
The bright sun shines hundred thousands of houses,
New charms replace the old ones to protect us.
   
New Year's Day
      Firecrackers are shouting good-bye to the last year,
    In warm spring breeze people drink wine with cheer.
    Thousands of households greet the bright rising sun,
    Replacing each couplet on the door with a new one.
