Don't forget to stop by PolishPod101.com for more great Polish Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Sylwester i Nowy Rok W Polsce Sylwestra obchodzi się tak samo, jak w innych częściach Europy. Urządzamy bale i imprezy, a o północy wystrzeliwujemy w niebo fajerwerki i pijemy szampana. Pomimo zimna, sporo jest imprez plenerowych, organizowanych przez samorządy miast i wielu ludzi wita nowy rok na rynkach i placach, dzieląc się szampanem i życzeniami z nieznajomymi. W telewizji nadawane są głównie relacje z imprez i koncertów, trudno więc liczyć na to, że zamkniemy się w domu przed ekranem i obejrzymy jakiś dobry film, no chyba, że na DVD ;). Sylwester, pomimo, że nazwany tak od imienia papieża, to bardzo świeckie święto. Czy to oznacza, że nie ma żadnych ciekawych polskich tradycji związanych z witaniem nowego roku? Ależ są, jest ich nawet sporo, a wszystkie związane z… nadejściem wiosny. W naszym klimacie to ona zawsze stanowiła symboliczny początek roku i przyjęty z zachodu kalendarz nie mógł tego zmienić tak do końca. Mimo wszystko jest kilka zwyczajów, o których wasi polscy znajomi mogą nawet nie wiedzieć, a których tu i tam niektórzy przestrzegają. Jeśli chcecie zapewnić sobie w nowym roku powodzenie w sferze finansowej, włóżcie do portfela łuski z wigilijnego karpia – żeby w nowym roku było tyle pieniędzy, co ryba ma łusek! Uważajcie też, żeby ani w Sylwestra ani tym bardziej w Nowy Rok nie sprzątać, bo możecie przypadkiem wymieść szczęście z domu. Pierwszą osobą, która wchodzi do waszego domu w nowym roku, powinien być mężczyzna składający wszystkim życzenia. A jeśli chcecie, żeby zniknęły zmartwienia, które męczyły was w poprzednim roku, zapiszcie je na czerwonej kartce i w Sylwestra spalcie tę kartkę. Nie mam pojęcia, czy to działa, ale chyba warto spróbować? Na koniec małe ostrzeżenie. W Polsce bardzo popularne wśród nastolatków są petardy. Ich hałas można usłyszeć już na tydzień przed Sylwestrem, a w samą noc z 31 grudnia na 1 stycznia są po prostu wszędzie. Dlatego jeżeli postanowicie o północy wyjść na dwór, żeby lepiej widzieć sztuczne ognie albo złożyć życzenia noworoczne sąsiadom, koniecznie bardzo uważajcie pod nogi! ----Formal English---- Sylvester Night and New Year's Day In Poland, Sylvester Night is celebrated the same way as in other parts of Europe. We organize balls and parties, and at midnight we launch fireworks to the sky and drink champagne. In spite of the cold, there are a number of open air events organized by city councils, and a lot of people greet the new year in marketplaces and squares, sharing champagne and wishes with strangers. On television, mostly parties and concerts are broadcast, so it's hard to count on closing ourselves off at home in front of the screen and watching a good movie unless it's on a DVD. Sylvester Night, although so-called from a name of a pope, is a very secular holiday. Does it mean there are no interesting Polish traditions connected to greeting the new year? Of course there are—there are even quite a lot of them—but all are related to...the coming of spring. In our climate, it has always been spring that has always constituted the symbolic beginning of the year, and a calendar accepted from the West couldn’t have changed that fully. Still, there are a handful of traditions that your Polish friends may not even know, but they are respected here and there by some people. If you want to secure good luck in the financial sphere, put the scales of the Christmas Eve carp inside your wallet, so that in the new year there will be as much money as the fish had scales! Pay attention not to do housework either on Sylvester Day nor the New Year's Day, or you may sweep the happiness out of your [...]
