67. “很多人”翻译为“Many people”;“非常喜欢”常见表达为“like...very much”;“秧歌”是“yangge”，所以整句翻译为“Many people like yangge very much.”
68. “They”指代前文提到的秧歌队成员;“begin to do sth.”表示“开始做某事”;“prepare yangge”是“准备秧歌”;“even”表示“甚至”;“a month before the Chinese New Year”表示“在中国新年前一个月”，整体翻译为“他们甚至在中国新年前一个月就开始准备秧歌”。
69. “They”指秧歌队成员;“wish sb. sth.”表示“祝愿某人某事”，“wish people a happy New Year”即“祝愿人们新年快乐”;“by doing sth.”表示“通过做某事”，“by dancing yangge in the streets”就是“通过在街上跳秧歌”，所以整句翻译为“他们通过在街上跳秧歌祝愿人们新年快乐”。
70. “他们”翻译为“They”;“邀请某人做某事”常用“invite sb. to do sth.”结构;“表演者”是“performers”;“品尝”是“taste”;“自制食物”翻译为“homemade food”，所以整句翻译为“They invite the performers to taste homemade food.”
