1.How do people in China celebrate birthdays?
throw a party, have birthday gatherings, most people acknowledge their birthday, but they don't actually celebrate it. ( banners, balloons, cakes, candles...)（中國人怎么過生日？有些人開生日聚會birthday gatherings，邀請很多人來慶祝，有些人則不慶祝don't celebrate it）
2. How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
I'd like to...get some gifts and have cake and stuff. Or make a long trip to Europe with my girlfriend.
Leap year, once every four years I'm able to celebrate my birthday on the 29th Feb. （你想怎么過生日？這個問題太好回答了，可以自由發(fā)揮想象力。可以吃蛋糕、開聚會或者到歐洲去旅游。如果有人是閏年的二月二十九日leap year出生的就比較有趣了，生日每四年過一次once every four years 。）
3. What did you do on your last birthday?
went out and got drunk, got showered with gifts, went shopping... went to beijing new oriental school to improve my language ability （同上）
4. Are birthdays more important for children or for adults?
Children. You enjoy growing up as a child, but despise aging as an adult.（小孩過生日可以享受成長的樂趣：enjoy growing up）
For children and for older people it's important, for middle aged guys I think it's not that important, coz generally they are too busy with work or being a parent....but in retirement it's important again because that is a chance they get to see family..... （老人對生日也比較看重，因為他們可以借這個機會見到全家人:get to see family）
5. Do you like to celebrate your birthday with your family or your friends?
Friends, because you can be yourself and do crazy things together. （和朋友們一起慶生要比和父母一起約束少一些，因為可以做自己be yourself，同時還能借機瘋狂一下:do crazy things ）
Well...it's difficult to choose ONE answer...but honestly, I like celebrating with both of them..
