[00:01.080] --- Lesson 96 The dead return
[00:06.600] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.600] --- What happens to the lanterns at the end of the festival?
[00:19.280] A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan.
[00:24.680] This festival is a cheerful occasion,
[00:27.760] for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living.
[00:35.600] As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them.
[00:42.840] Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way.
[00:50.160] All night long, people dance and sing.
[00:54.680] In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea
[01:02.680] as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it.
[01:07.840] In towns that are near the sea,
[01:10.640] the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before,are placed into the water when the festival is over.
[01:20.400] Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world.
[01:30.040] This is a moving spectacle,
[01:32.360] for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.
[01:42.560] --- end

[00:54.680] ^一大早,人们便把为死者摆放的食品扔进河中或海里,
[01:02.680] ^因为人们认为活着的人吃了这些东西是不吉利的。
[01:07.840] ^在靠海的城镇中,
[01:10.640] ^头天夜里挂在大街小巷的小灯笼在节后就放在了水里。
[01:20.400] ^成千上万只灯笼慢慢漂向大海,指引着亡灵返回另一个世界。
[01:30.040] ^这是一个感人的场面,
[01:32.360] ^人们成群地伫立在海岸上,注视着灯笼远去,直到再也看不见为止。
[01:42.560]
