中国节日中英文

中国传统节日Traditional Chinese holiday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，如饺子和年糕。

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 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 foo d of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese l unar New Years 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 new y ear cake .端午节The Duanwu Festival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,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 Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity t o the state 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 dumpling s instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon b oat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.春节The Spring Festival在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。

这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。

不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。

有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。

大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。

孩子们会得到压岁钱。

在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。

总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most. Not only bec ause its the biggest festival in the year, but also because its a new beginning that brings hope to p eople and its time for family gathering. Before the festival, people come home no matter where t hey are. Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Years Eve. And then families sit together and sh are their lives or planes. Some will play games or hang out to have some fun. On the New Years D ay, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet. Children can get lucky money fr om relatives.

这一天是中华人民共和国开始的标志。

在那天，全国到处都有很多庆祝活动，上至中央政府到普通老百姓。

公共场所，包括大的广场和公园，都装饰成节日主题。

近年，国庆节同样也是所有人都期待的短假黄金周。

随着生活水平的提高，人们又更多的钱和渴望去旅游，黄金周对他们来说是一个很好的机会。

除此之外，对于那些不想外出的人来说同样也是休息的好时机。

因此，国庆节对中国人来说意味着很多。

平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。

北京的胡同不仅仅是平民百姓的生活环境，而且还是一门建筑艺术。

通常，胡同内有一个大杂院，房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。

所以，胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。

如今，随着社会和经济的飞速发展，很多胡同被新的高楼大厦所取代。

但愿胡同可以保留下来。

In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people in hutongs brings endle ss charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside huto ng, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of f riendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, man y hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved.剪纸(paper cutting)剪纸(paper cutting)是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。
