【篇二：1英语翻译】

1.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午

节(the dragon boat festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆

圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(the mid-autumn festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the chinese lunar new year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和

肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。

traditional chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. for example, the dragon boat festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet qu yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice

dumpling on that day. the mid-autumn festival is an occasion

for viewing the full moon. the round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. the special food of the day

is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. the spring festival is the chinese lunar new year’s holiday. besides the popular poultry and meat, people

cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake .
