“壓嵗錢” 怎麽說

春節拜年，長輩要賜予晚輩壓嵗錢。根據民間的說法，壓嵗錢可以壓住邪祟，因爲“嵗”與“祟”諧音，晚輩得到壓嵗錢就可以平平安安度過一嵗。某種程度而言，“壓嵗錢”是中國特有的詞滙，其英文表達至今尚無定論。暫看維基百科相關介紹。

A red envelope or red packet is a monetary gift which is given in Chinese society. The name comes from the red envelope in which the money is contained.

Red envelopes are often presented on social and family occasions such as a wedding reception or a holiday such as Chinese New Year in which context it is also known as yāsuì qián.

根據維基百科，“壓嵗錢”是狹義而言的“紅包”（red envelope），因此，“壓嵗錢”可表達爲“red envelope”或“red-envelope money”。或者，羅嗦一點，“壓嵗錢”也可說成“money given to children as a Lunar New Year gift”。
