翻译：
据传说，有一个人吃的野生怪物“年”一个非常大的口，吞咽几个人在一个单一的叮咬。此兽出现在乡村，对冬季结束时，有没有吃的，它会到村里去，什么能吃就吃什么，所以整个冬天村民都生活在恐惧之中。
来年冬天，怪兽如期而至，同样的悲剧再次发生，怪兽之强壮非常人能够击倒，所以所有村民都携带全家老小到深山躲藏，以避免成为“年”的食物。有一天，一个充满智慧的老人经过村庄，告诉一个老妇人：“我叫你怎么把年吓跑”。
当天晚上，当年踏进村子时，它见村里所有的屋子没有灯光，除了那个老夫人家亮着灯。年靠房子，舔着嘴唇，期待着自己的晚餐。突然，震耳欲聋的鞭炮声在耳边响个不停。
“年”被鞭炮声吓得跳起来，突然发现那个房子外面贴着红纸，这个把怪兽吓得落荒而逃，村民回到村庄发现老妇人毫发无伤。
后来，村民知道了这个叫“年”的怪兽害怕噪声和红色，于是村里的村名都赞同，在“年”下一次“光顾”村庄的时候，家家户户都在门前点起火，守岁然后制造“动静”。
第二年，村名们都做足了准备，他们准备好了鞭炮，点燃了所有的灯，把房子装饰橙红色，在门上贴红纸，穿红色的衣服，手里拎着红灯笼。她们敲锣打鼓大声弹唱，跳舞，走到哪里鞭炮就点到哪里。年从此以后再没敢到这个村里惹麻烦了。
