如何用英语讲中国故事？

描写思路：以某个简单的小故事作为主题，比如用春节中“年兽”的故事，讲述过程中应该注意言语简洁，通顺，正文：

Nian beast is also called "Xi". It is an evil beast in ancient Han myths and legends.

年兽又称“夕”。是古代汉族神话传说中的恶兽。

According to legend, in ancient times, every midnight at the end of the year, the Nian beast attacked the village, and all the villages occupied by Nian beast suffered cruel slaughter, and the horns on their heads were weapons.

相传古时候每到年末的午夜，年兽就会进攻村子，凡被年兽占领的村子都遭受到残酷的屠杀，头上的犄角就是武器。

People take advantage of the three weaknesses of Nian beast, setting off firecrackers (which will scare Nian beast), sticking Spring Festival couplets and driving away the attack of Nian beast.

人们利用年兽的三大弱点，放爆竹(会吓坏年兽)，贴春联，驱赶年兽的进攻。

In order to prevent the new year animals from harassing again, setting off firecrackers and sticking Spring Festival couplets gradually became a holiday custom, and Spring Festival became one of the symbols of the Chinese nation.

为了防止年兽的再次骚扰，放爆竹、贴春联渐渐成为节日习俗，春节由此成为中华民族的象征之一。
