如何用英语讲述红包呢？

每到春节，最招人喜欢的就是收红包了，捧着红包喜气洋洋的心情是小编对年节最深刻的记忆之一。如今互联网发展迅速，社交平台也迎来了一波又一波的红包大战。我们该如何用英语讲述这几种种红包呢？

常见的红包翻译是red envelope、red packet，压岁钱（红包）则是lucky money或gift money。

如：今年春节，我收了很多红包，我很高兴。

Spring Festival this year, I received a lot of red packets, I am very happy.

在春节那天，孩子们都会从自己的父母和爷爷奶奶那里收到包着红包的压岁钱。

On New Year's Day the children receive gifts of money in red envelopes from their parents and grandparents.

Wish you a fortune! Give me a red packet!恭喜发财，红包拿来！

Every year on Spring Festival, my parents give me a red envelope.每年的春节，我的父母都会给我一个红包。

Instead of a red envelope at Chinese New Year, he now got a year-end bonus.农历年他没有拿到红包，现在反而拿到了年终奖金。

那么互联网中的电子红包就是electronic red envelope，红包大战就是red-envelope war/fight, battle of the red envelopes。

而让红包再成热潮的是微信推出的“红包功能”，让用户通过电子支付发红包。

"Red envelope" fever has swept the country when WeChat, China's popular mobile chat app, rolled out a program allowing users to send cash through electronic payments.

这个功能的衍生玩法“红包抽奖”red envelope lucky draw，又称“抢红包”，更是大受欢迎，因为它是由程序来随机发钱allocate the money randomly，增加了许多趣味性。

The 'grouped' red envelope can then be posted to a group chat and the application randomly assigns the amount in each envelope to each recipient.

抢红包通常用snatch/grab red envelopes来表示，用snatch或grab来体现微信群中抢红包的兴奋和喜悦，比较贴切和生动。
