跨年，就是从12月31日跨到次年的1月1日，
kuà nián | jiù shì | cóng | shí èr yuè | dì sān shí yī rì | kuà dào | cì nián | de | yī yuè | dì yī rì，
New Year's Eve means crossing from December 31st to January 1st of the next year.
全世界都会举办热闹的活动吧。
quán shì jiè | dōu huì | jǔ bàn | rè nao | de | huó dòng ba。
Colorful celebrations will be held all over the world.
在中国，也有很多活动，
zài Zhōngguó | yě yǒu | hěn duō | huó dòng，
There are also plenty of activities in China.
我觉得年轻一代对跨年的感觉不亚于春节，
wǒ jué de | nián qīng yī dài | duì | kuà nián | de | gǎn jué | bù yà yú | chūn jié，
I think the younger generation values New Year's Eve no less than the Spring Festival.
毕竟春节意味着回老家，
bì jìng | chūn jié | yì wèi zhe | huí lǎo jiā，
After all, the Spring Festival means going back to one's hometown.
以及和各种没什么交集的亲戚尬聊，
yǐ jí | hé | gè zhǒng | méi shén me | jiāo jí | de | qīn qi | gà liáo，
and having awkward chats with relatives we barely keep in touch with.
而跨年，可以以自己喜欢的形式来庆祝。
ér | kuà nián | kě yǐ | yǐ | zì jǐ | xǐ huan | de | xíng shì | lái | qìng zhù，
But New Year's Eve can be celebrated in our favorite way.
有好几个电视台都会直播大型跨年演唱会，
yǒu | hǎo jǐ gè | diàn shì tái | dōu huì | zhí bō | dà xíng | kuà nián yǎn chàng huì，
Several TV stations will live broadcast large-scale New Year's Eve concerts.
请来知名的歌手明星，
qǐng lái | zhī míng | de | gē shǒu | míng xīng，
They invite well-known star singers.
搭建精美的舞台，
dā jiàn | jīng měi | de | wǔ tái，
They set up exquisite stages.
做一个群星演唱会，
zuò | yī gè | qún xīng yǎn chàng huì，
and hold star-studded concerts.
但是内容形式非常无聊，
dàn shì | nèi róng | xíng shì | fēi cháng | wú liáo，
But the content and form are very boring.
主持人说的话也是尬聊。
zhǔ chí rén | shuō | de | huà | yě shì | gà liáo，
The words from the hosts are also awkward chats.
近些年，有几个著名的知识博主，
jìn xiē nián | yǒu | jǐ gè | zhù míng | de | zhī shi bó zhǔ，
In recent years, there are several famous knowledge bloggers.
做了大型的跨年演讲，
zuò le | dà xíng | de | kuà nián yǎn jiǎng，
They gave large-scale New Year's Eve speeches.
一个人在台上讲几个小时，
yī gè rén | zài | tái shàng | jiǎng | jǐ gè | xiǎo shí，
Talking alone on stage for hours.
回顾今年，展望明年。
huí gù | jīn nián | zhǎn wàng | míng nián，
Reviewing the past year and looking forward to the new one.
这种跨年晚会的收视率反而更高，
zhè zhǒng | kuà nián wǎn huì | de | shōu shì lǜ | fǎn ér | gèng gāo，
This kind of New Year's Eve gala has higher ratings instead.
因为比唱歌唱歌更有价值。
yīn wèi | bǐ | chàng gē | gèng yǒu | jià zhí，
Because it is more valuable than just singing.
除了电视台的跨年晚会，
chú le | diàn shì tái | de | kuà nián wǎn huì，
Besides the TV stations' New Year's Eve galas,
一些互联网平台也会举办跨年晚会，
yī xiē | hù lián wǎng píng tái | yě huì | jǔ bàn | kuà nián wǎn huì，
some internet platforms also hold New Year's Eve galas.
最有趣的可能是b站的跨年晚会，
zuì yǒu qù | de | kě néng | shì | B zhàn | de | kuà nián wǎn huì，
Perhaps the most interesting one is Bilibili's New Year's Eve gala.
它的用户比较年轻，喜欢二次元，
tā | de | yòng hù | bǐ jiào | nián qīng | xǐ huan | èr cì yuán，
Its users are relatively young and love the two-dimensional culture.
所以晚会内容更加年轻化、多样化。
suǒ yǐ | wǎn huì | nèi róng | gèng jiā | nián qīng huà | duō yàng huà，
So the gala content is more youthful and diversified.
