逍遥无涯子
元旦英语是New year's Day。

英语翻译技巧：
1、省略翻译法
这与最开始提到的增译法相反，就是要求你把不符合汉语，或者英语的表达的方式、思维的习惯或者语言的习惯的部分删去，以免使所翻译出的句子沉杂累赘。
2、合并法
合并翻译法就是把多个短句子或者简单句合并到一起，形成一个复合句或者说复杂句，多出现在汉译英的题目里出现，比如最后会翻译成定语从句、状语从句、宾语从句等等。

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.

New Year's Day。
元旦，即公历的1月1日，是世界多数国家通称的“新年”。元，谓“始”，凡数之始称为“元”；旦，谓“日”；“元旦”即“初始之日”的意思。
“元旦”通常指历法中的首月首日。在我国，“元旦”一词古已有之，在文学作品中最早见于《晋书》。我国历史上的“元旦”指的是“正月一日”，“正月”的计算方法，在汉武帝时期以前是很不统一的，历代的元旦（首月首日）日期并不一致。
各国元旦
西方元旦：公元前46年，古罗马凯撒把这一天定为西历新年的开始，为了祝福双面神“Janus”，这位罗马神话中的门神，“Janus”后来也演化为英文一月“January”这个词。
英国：元旦前一天，家家户户都必须做到瓶中有酒，橱中有肉。英国人认为，如果没有余下的酒肉，来年便会贫穷。除此之外，英国还流行新年“打井水”的风俗，人们都争取第一个去打水，认为第一个打水的人为幸福之人，打来的水是吉祥之水。
