“春節(jié)放假，請算上除夕！” 關(guān)于修改傳統(tǒng)節(jié)假日的議案成為兩會期間的熱門話題。據(jù)報道，中國政協(xié)委員、非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)保護專家馮驥才日前已提出議案，申請大年三十為國家法定假日。

請看《中國日報》相關(guān)報道：CPPCC member Feng Jicai's proposal to preserve the country'sintangible cultural heritagewas, in essence, tangible--the famous writer, painter and cultural activist suggested to move up the Spring Festival holiday by one day to include the Chinese New Year's eve.

In recent years Feng has developed a reputation for his efforts to preserve China's folk culture and halt the decline of some traditional arts.

報道中的intangible cultural heritage就是“非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)”。Intangible意指“something that cannot be perceived by the senses”（無形的東西，尤其是感覺不到的資產(chǎn)），舉個通俗的例子：The intangible value of love lies in the mutual trust.（愛情中最無形的價值在于雙方互相信任。）

Heritage指“something that is passed down from preceding generations；especially a tradition”（由前輩傳下來的東西，尤強調(diào)傳統(tǒng)），如：We Chinese have a rich heritage of folklore.（我們的民間文化傳統(tǒng)很豐富。）
