求英语帝帮忙翻译一下这一小段话。

As an old saying goes : Years ago ,there was a beast named " Nian" ,which looked like a lion with a horn . This beast always hurt men or livestock which annoyed people. Once , the" Nian"
broke into a country , happening to meet someone in red who lit bamboo to get warm. The pitter-patter of the borning bamboo scared the beast away. After that ,people knew what the beast scared about. At each time the beast appeared , all of people there stayed indoors , putting up couplets at their gates and lit firecrackers to drove " Nian" away. Since then, the beast didn't turn up any more. That is the origin of "Chinese traditional new year".
