17、Mattress一个底座（box）加一个床垫（mattress），是很多留学生图方便的选择。box又叫 mattress foundation，垫在床垫之下，用于增加床垫高床=Bed Frame+Box+Mattress如果你觉得底座加床垫还不够高，不妨在底座之下再加一个床的支架。支架可以是实心的木板，也可以是金属框。床=Bed Frame+Mattress如果直接购买实心的床架，就能省略 Box。（3）特殊的床气垫床（Air mattress）气垫床通常是为客人准备的，储藏和搬运都更方便，适合暂时没有固定落脚处的同学。Trundle bed 是一种节约空间的设计：大床之下藏着一张带滚轮的小床
18、，有需要的时候可以把小床抽出来使用。Cottage bed 拥有华丽的床头板（Headboard ）。（4）床头板以下是常见床头板形状的名字：书柜床头板（Bookcase Headboard）特别适合学生，实用、朴素又带一点设计感，用来陈放书本、护肤品和小摆件都不错。2. 床头柜床头柜在英语里叫 Nightstand 或者 Night table。（1）抽屉型（ with drawer）（2）橱柜型（ with door/cabinet）（3）空格型（ with open cubbie）3. 床上用品床上用品统称 bedding，包含 床单（sheet ）、被罩（ duvet covers）、
19、被单（quilts）、棉被（comforters/duvets）、枕头套（pillow cases/shams）、床罩（bedspreads）、毯子（ blankets）等。其中，床单还可分为 flat sheet 和 fitted sheet，flat sheet 跟国内的床单一样，就是一块平铺布；而 fitted sheet 则四周缝了一圈橡皮筋，可用于包裹床垫，使床单不易位移，特别推荐给睡相不佳的同学。Comforter 和 duvet 都是被子，但两者有区别。Comforter 通常比床的尺寸大，自带花色，不需要在外面包裹被罩，可以直接洗涤。Duvet 就是被芯，通常为白色，比 com
20、forter 更厚，尺寸一般不会比床更大，需要用被罩包起来使用，不能直接洗涤。4. 梳妆台（ Vanities）或 Dressers5. 衣橱（Armoires）留学生在北美租用的房子里通常有嵌入式的衣柜，梳妆台则由盥洗室里的洗漱台代替，所以不需要购买衣橱和梳妆台。另外，留学生一般没有自己独立的书房，所以如果卧室空间允许的话，还是购买一张电脑桌更为实际。6. 电脑桌（ Computer Desk）7.

Flat Sheet（Top Sh
23、eet）：Flat Sheet 即床单，但不是垫在身下的床单，而是盖在人身上、衬在被子下面的一块布。它存在的意义在于把你和被子隔开，保持被子的干净，实际上起到了半个被套的作用。使用时需把带有装饰的那一头翻折出来。B. Fitted sheet（Bottom Sheet）：四周有皮筋、可以套住床垫的床单。E. Pillow Sham：枕头套，特指装饰性的枕头套。G. Boudoir Sham：装饰性的小枕头。H. Coverlet：类似毯子的小被单，夏季可单独当被子盖。Coverlet 和 Quilt 很像，Quilt 由三层布叠加缝合而成，一般比 Coverlet 厚，比Duvet 薄。K.
24、Throw：比 Blanket、Quilt 小的毯子。衣服比如马海毛（Mohair）是扮萌的一把好手，以马海毛为主要衣料的毛衣通常看上去很饱满，但其实一点也不厚重，轻盈蓬松毛茸茸（追求垂坠质感的童鞋可以绕道了） 。莫代尔（Modal）有很好的柔软性和优良的吸湿性，但挺括性差。棉料柔软，麻料硬爽。质料跟舒适感也密切相关。一般的羊毛（Wool）混纺可能会有点扎，羊绒（Cashmere）就十分滑腻舒适，价格也较高。如果你已经买了含有羊毛的衣物，感觉扎扎的很不舒服，可以在洗衣服的时候加一点衣物柔顺剂，有改善的作用。100%全棉（Cotton ）质地固然亲肤柔软，但弹性不佳，别买小了；如果加入了一点氨纶
25、（Spandex） ，那么衣料就会富有弹性，紧贴皮肤穿出修身的效果。很多合成纤维都有起球的毛病，手动撕扯可能会损伤织物，建议使用 Fabric Shaver（Amazon 有售），把毛球轻轻剃掉，毛衣就光洁如新了。 Stripe 条纹 Floral 花朵 Dots/Spot 波点 Leopard 豹纹 Embroidered 绣花 Vintage 复古 Oversized 宽松 Lace 蕾丝 Satin 缎面 Mesh 网纱 Cold Shoulder 露肩 Bodycon 紧身 Kitten Heel 中跟鞋 Wedge 坡跟鞋 Platform 防水台 Pointed-Toe Shoes
26、 尖头鞋 Peep-Toe 鱼嘴鞋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. The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated i
27、n the Shang Dynasty from the peoples sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the
28、most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. Most people will have a week off, thus, this time is known as golden week. 1. 大扫除 Spring Cleaning“Dust”（尘） is homophonic with “chen”（陈）in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festiv
29、al means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. Chinese People believe that in order to receive the new luck, you have to swipe the bad luck. All the cleaning has to be done before the end of New Years Eve, thats what Chinese people always called “Ci Jiu Ying Xin“ : s
30、aying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.“Dust”与“尘”是谐音（尘在汉语中的意思是旧的和过去的）。这样，“在春节前扫尘”是指彻底清洁房屋扫除过去一年的厄运。勤劳勇敢的中国人民相信，只有把旧的坏运气赶走了，才能迎接美好新生活。所有的大扫除必须要在除夕夜之前完全，干干净净整整齐齐迎接新年，就是我们常说的辞旧迎新。2. 贴窗花 Paper CutAfter the thoroughly clean up, people will paste paper-cut decorations on the windows and doors. Pap
31、er-cuts, usually with auspicious patterns, give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life. It is common for Chinese to paste the character “fu（福）“, big and small, on walls, doors and doorposts around the houses. “Fu
32、（福）“ shows peoples yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the character “Fu（福）“ to signify that blessing has arrived because “inverted“ is a homonym for “arrive“ in Chinese. 在大扫除之后，大家会在家中门窗上贴上窗花。通常带有吉祥图案的窗花，传递节日喜庆和热闹的气氛和表达中国人期待幸福生活的美好愿望 。除了贴窗花，在墙上，门上和房子周围的门框上贴大小福字是中国人表达对美好生活渴望的普遍习俗。一些人
33、甚至倒贴福字来表示福到了，因为在汉语中“倒”是“到”的谐音。3. 贴春联 Spring Couplet“The Spring Couplet“, also called “couplet“ and “a pair of antithetical phrases“, is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an ins
34、cription, usually an auspicious phrase, above the gate. Whether the family is rich or poor, educated or ignorant, everyone must put on the Spring Couplet to symbolize the hopes for the coming new year.“春联”或“对联”对立在中国是一种特殊的文学形式。春联是由贴在门口两侧两组对仗的句子组成，在门上面的横批通常是一个吉祥的短语。不论是大富大贵还是贫困潦倒，学富五车还是乡野村夫，每家每户都要在新年在门
35、前贴春联，以寄托对新年的美好祝愿。4. 年夜饭/团圆饭 Family Reunion DinnerThe Spring Festival is a time for the Chinese to have family reunion, on Chinese New Years Eve(Chu Xi), the whole family must sit at the table to eat the New Years Supper together. This meal is usually made from scratch with the entire family working
36、together, and this meal is usually the most sumptuous meal of the year. In the New Years Supper, it is essential that some dishes contain the family wishes for the New Year. 春节是一个合家团圆的日子，在除夕夜，全家都合家团圆一起共享除夕大餐。这顿饭通常是全家总动员，每个人都要参与，也通常是一年之中最丰盛美味的一餐。在年夜饭中，有一些美好象征意义的美食是必备的：年糕，or the New Years Cake, is ver
37、y common in Southern China, it is made of sticky rice. In Chinese, niangao sounds like “getting higher year by year“. In Chinese peoples mind, the higher you are, the more prosperous your business is.年糕在中文的发音里意味着年年高升。因此中国人总认为，如果一个人地位越高，其财富就越多。饺子, or the stuffed Dumpling, is a very common Northern Ch
38、inese Dish, Chinese dumplings look like silver ingots. Legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during New Year celebration, the more money you can make in the New Year. When making these dumplings, coins and pennies are usually put into selected few, those lucky family members that happen to e
39、at those special dumplings are believed to have special good fortune in the upcoming year. 饺子的形状酷似一个元宝，并且在传统观念里认为饺子吃得越多，那么来年钱就挣得越多。在做饺子的时候，人们喜欢在一些饺子里放上硬币，吃到硬币的幸运儿就意味着来年会有特殊的好运。5. 放鞭炮 FirecrackersLighting Firecrackers used to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration. Ho
40、wever, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities. But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration. Right as the clock strike 12 oclock midnight of New Years Eve
41、, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening.放鞭炮曾是春节庆祝活动中最重要的习俗之一。然而，担心燃放鞭炮可能会带来危险和烦人的噪音，政府已在许多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城镇和农村地区的人们仍然坚持这种传统的庆祝活动。除夕夜一旦撞响午夜 12 点钟，城市和乡镇都被烟花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。6. 红包/压岁钱 Red Packet/Lucky MoneyChildren love Spring Festival because they c
42、an receive red packet! What A red packet is simply a red envelope with lucky money in it, which symbolizes luck and wealth. In traditional Chinese cultural, red is considered a lucky color, red packet is believed to ward off evial spirits and to bring good fortune to the receiver. Traditionally, old
43、er generations give the red packet to the younger generation. Nowadays, this practice extends to close friends, neighbors, and even some companies give away year-end bonus in the red packets. 孩子们最爱过春节，因为春节有红包拿！红包就是在一个红色的小红包里装上压岁钱，寓意为幸运和财富。在中国传统文化中，红色是幸运色，大家相信红包能帮人赶走霉运，带来幸福富贵。在过去，都是长辈给晚辈红包，但是现在这个概念已经

This year is the year of Monkey. Each animal represents a diffe
45、rent “personality“. According to legend, people held a conference with all the animals, informing them that they would pick the 12 to represent the zodiac. However, in spite of being fast, the cat was not picked as its then-close friend, the rat, did not wake it. This action sparked off a rivalry th
46、at continues till this day. 中国的十二生肖代表了十二种动物，他们的顺序是：鼠、牛、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。今年是猴年。每一种动物有他们自己的“性格”。根据传说，人们当初和动物们开了一个会，最先到会的动物们就可以进入十二生肖。而身为猫最好的朋友，老鼠却没有把猫叫醒去开会。因此，它们之间的战争一直持续到今天。祝大家新年快乐，猴年大吉！Happy Spring Festival！ Frappuccino 星冰乐 Refresher 果味冰饮 Iced Expresso 冰咖啡 Hot Chocolate 热可可 Tea 茶饮料 Smoothies 冰沙 Yea
