1、狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。

狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。

古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。

据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。

在唐代（theTang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。

因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals. InChinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, whichcould drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history ofmore than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was alreadyintroduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the liondance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom wherepeople could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.
2、端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。

屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。

但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。

人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。

几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

The Duanwu Festival, also called the DragonBoat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was aloyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to thestate but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water,hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. Forthousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings anddragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are manyrivers and lakes.
14、上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系，通常被成为“本帮菜”，有着400多年的历史。

同中国其他菜系一样，“本帮菜”具有“色，香，味”三大要素。

//上海菜的特点是注重调料的使用，食物的质地和菜的原汁原味。

其中最著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”。

//“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅，个小味美，皮薄汁醇。

“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮，形如松鼠，外皮脆而内肉嫩，汤汁酸甜适口。

//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后，我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状，觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。

//

16、武术在我国源远流长，是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。

我们知道，一个民族的优秀文化遗产，不仅仅属于一个民族，它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。

// 为了更好的推广武术运动，使其与奥运项目接轨，中国武协和国际武联做了大量的艰苦卓绝的工作。

现在武术运动已被列为一种具有与保龄球运动和国际标准舞同等地位的奥运表演项目。

//武术的蓬勃发展，除得益于其项目本身的吸引力之外，早期移居海外的一代武术大师功不可没。

//老一代武术家在海外播种下了武术的种子，使武术这门既可以自卫又可以健身的运动很快就在新的土地上扎下了根。

今天高超的武术大师已遍布世界各地，武术爱好者也与日俱增。

// Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can betraced back to ancient times. It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture. As weall know, the fine culture of a nation doesn’t belong to the nation alone andit will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// TheChinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation (IWUF) have beenworking very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closerto the Olympic Movement.

Today sperb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateursare on the increase with each passing day.
20、泰山的每个季节都有独特的魅力。

春天，绿茵茵的山坡上，争奇斗妍的花朵到处可见。

夏天泰山的雷暴雨堪称奇观。

秋天，枫树叶漫山遍野，蔚蓝色的河水川流不息。

冬天，雪盖群峰松披霜，景观素雅悲壮，别有一番情趣。

喜逢艳阳日，极目远眺，重峦叠嶂，尽收眼帘。

//但遇天阴时，环顾四周，苍茫大地，尽入云海。

泰山的日出与日落，闻名遐尔。

壮观的自然风景以及不可计数的历史名胜，激发了古代文人墨客，为之舞文弄墨，创作了无数经典佳作。

泰山历来是画家骚客所钟情的聚集地。

//
Each season here hasits beauty: bright flowers in full bloom covering the green slopes in spring,spectacular summer thunderstorms which are rarely seen elsewhere, blue riversrunning across the mountains overlaid with red maple leaves in fall, andsnow-capped mountains and frosted pine trees in winter that stage a quietsolemn spectacle of particular interest. On a clear day one can see the peaks risingone after another. // When the sky is overcast, the horizon disappears into asea of clouds. Mount Tai is most famous forits spectacular sunrise and sunset. Its landscape and numerous historical siteshave inspired many great classics of ancient writers, scholars andcalligraphers. Mount Tai has long been thepreferred gathering place of artists and poets.//

22、旗袍，是中国女性的传统服装，源于中国满族女性的传统服装。

因为满族人被称为“旗人”，所以满族人的长袍被称为“旗袍”。

到了20世纪20年代，受西方服饰的影响，经过改进之后的旗袍逐渐在广大妇女中流行起来。

在中国，很多女性都喜欢穿旗袍。

结婚的时候，
新娘不仅要订做一件中式旗袍作为结婚礼服，还要穿着漂亮的旗袍照一套婚纱照，作为永久的纪念。

对于中国的女明星们而言，旗袍也成为她们参加各种重要活动的首选礼服。
