复活节(Easter)

在多数西方国家(western countries)里，复活节一般要举行盛大的宗教(religion)游行(parade)。游行者身穿长袍(robe)，手持十字架(Latin Cross)，赤足前进。他们打扮成基督教(Christianism)历史人物，唱着颂歌(canticle)欢庆耶稣复活(revival)。如今节日游行已失去往日浓厚的宗教色彩。节日游行洋溢着喜庆的气氛，具有浓烈的民间(folk)特色和地方(local)特色。

在美国，游行队伍中即有身穿牛仔服(Jeans Wear)踩高跷的(stilted)小丑，也有活泼可爱的卡通人物米老鼠(Mickey Mouse)。在英国，游行多以介绍当地的历史和风土人情(local conditions and customs)为主，游行者化装成(make up)为苏格兰风笛(Bagpipe)乐队(band)以及皇宫卫士，吸引了众多的游客。复活节的到来还使人们纷纷换上新衣。过去基督教教徒会在节前去教堂行洗礼(baptism)，然后穿上自己的新袍，庆祝基督的新生。穿戴一新的习俗保留至今，因为人们认为节日里不穿新衣是要倒运的。复活节期间，人们还喜欢彻底打扫自己的住处，表示新生活从此开始。

The festivals

Before Christmas Mr. Smith broke his right leg and had to stay in hospital. When he was there, he always asked his doctor when he could go home. He didn’t like to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, Mr. Smith didn’t get better. So on Christmas Day he was still in hospital. He spent a bad day in bed thinking that he missed a lot of fun on such a happy day.

The next day the doctor told him that he might be well enough to leave hospital in time for the New Year. Mr. Smith was very happy to think that he would spend New Year’s Day outside hospital. Soon Mr. Smith left hospital and on New Year’s Eve he went to a party. He enjoyed himself there. But he drank too much. On his way home that night, he had a fall and broke his left leg. What an unlucky man he

was!
