明天是端午節(jié)！另外，3天的假期里可以盡情地玩，還有各種好吃的粽子，使基速軍可以盡情地填飽肚子。(大衛(wèi)亞設(shè)，北方探索)想想就開(kāi)心

！

如果有外國(guó)朋友的話，端午節(jié)是帶他沖浪和順便說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的好時(shí)機(jī)。(威廉莎士比亞、哈姆雷特、MARTLERT、MARTORER)端午節(jié)的時(shí)候，如果遇到各景點(diǎn)人山人海、友好歪果仁的話，也可以向他推廣中國(guó)文化。(莎士比亞)。

今年高考時(shí)間也正好是端午節(jié)假期。家長(zhǎng)們不必為了考試特地請(qǐng)假。考生們可以在考試結(jié)束后慶?？駳g。

小心點(diǎn)！高考英語(yǔ)也要考驗(yàn)傳統(tǒng)文化。高考英語(yǔ)考試大綱發(fā)出重要信號(hào)，在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中重視和強(qiáng)調(diào)中華傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值，重視語(yǔ)言應(yīng)用，將英語(yǔ)回歸語(yǔ)言功能的本質(zhì)。高考英語(yǔ)更重視調(diào)查學(xué)生的閱讀能力、跨文化交際能力和思維能力。因此，掌握傳統(tǒng)文化名詞和背誦傳統(tǒng)文化方面的范文對(duì)提高聽(tīng)力、閱讀理解能力和寫(xiě)作成績(jī)大有幫助！

有家長(zhǎng)問(wèn)你能相信嗎？我想說(shuō)，有時(shí)間的話，看相關(guān)民俗文化，了解端午節(jié)也不行。

朗朗上口的英語(yǔ)兒歌。

如果你哪兒也沒(méi)去，讀完了這篇文章，你就是最積極的廢柴！

端午節(jié)的英語(yǔ)其實(shí)我們可以說(shuō)是The Duanwu Festival。

因?yàn)閷?duì)于不懂中文或中國(guó)文化的人來(lái)說(shuō)，the Duanwu Festival和the Dragan Boat Festival真的沒(méi)有區(qū)別……。

(但是如果你想?yún)⒓涌荚?，?qǐng)寫(xiě)Dragon Boat Festival。閱卷老師只認(rèn)這個(gè)。……。)。

一個(gè)名字傳達(dá)不了太多，是對(duì)名字后面含義的解釋。

the dragon boat festival falls on the 5 th day of the 5 th lunar month。

端午節(jié)在農(nóng)歷五月五日。

哪一個(gè)節(jié)日是哪一天，用fall on表示哪一天會(huì)落下。

Fall on真的很正宗，很正式，試卷上絕對(duì)高級(jí)。

對(duì)端午節(jié)的解釋當(dāng)然是端午節(jié)的幾個(gè)重要傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗。

一、粽子、rice-dumpling/zonzi。

端午節(jié)的時(shí)候，粽子地位應(yīng)該是最重要的。粽子英語(yǔ)是：rice-dumpling，是比較書(shū)面的表達(dá)，更多使用的表達(dá)是zongzi，即粽子拼音的直譯。因?yàn)槭侵袊?guó)特有的食物，所以直譯也沒(méi)問(wèn)題。還有很多漢語(yǔ)拼音直譯，如餃子的“吉雅吉”。還有完整的拼音、近似的直譯豆腐的“tofu”、功夫的“kung fu”。

因?yàn)橥鈬?guó)人沒(méi)有粽子概念，所以叫什么名字，他們都是無(wú)知的面孔。那么我們干脆說(shuō)宗子。

重要的仍然是粽子解釋。

zongzi are pyramid-shaped dumplings made of glutinous rice，stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves .

粽子是用金字塔形糯米做的餃子，有其他牛，包裹在竹葉里。

Pyramid:金字塔Pyramid-shaped:由金字塔形狀制成(Pyramid可以換成其他名詞，apple

解為動(dòng)詞stuff的被動(dòng)態(tài)stuff作名詞為東西，作動(dòng)詞為裝滿、塞滿Stuffed，被動(dòng)，即被塞滿了...Filling: 名詞，來(lái)自動(dòng)詞fill，filling為名詞，填的東西，即餡兒Wrapped: 來(lái)自動(dòng)詞wrap，包裹

1）have bamboo leaves watered.

粽葉先浸水。

2）Fill the boat shape with a few tablespoons of the soaked sticky rice. Top with a sprinkling of mung beans.

在船型粽葉中填入幾勺浸濕的糯米，再加少許綠豆。

3）Add some smoked meat and shrimps.

再加入腌制過(guò)的肉和蝦。

4）Packed it with line with three, four, or five angles.

用線把粽子裹起來(lái)，可以做成三角、四角或五角。

5）Boiled them, first with big fire, then turn to small fire till rip.

然后再進(jìn)行蒸煮，先用大火，再轉(zhuǎn)成小火直到粽子殼開(kāi)裂。

當(dāng)然吃瓜群眾在端午節(jié)除了吃粽子，也少不了看熱鬧。端午節(jié)的熱鬧當(dāng)屬賽龍舟~

賽龍舟：Dragon boat racing.

Dragon boat racing is a traditional pastime.

賽龍舟是一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)。

pastime：名詞，消遣，娛樂(lè)業(yè)余時(shí)間我們?nèi)绾蝡ass our time，就是我們的日常消遣啦

Crews of 22 people in long, dragon-shaped boats race lengths of 2000 meters.

22名隊(duì)員坐在像龍一樣的長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的船里，比賽劃2000米。

Crew：成員、隊(duì)員Dragon-shaped: 形狀像龍一樣的名詞-shaped，像...一樣的，這個(gè)構(gòu)詞法超級(jí)常見(jiàn)，建議大家熟悉Race: 動(dòng)詞，比賽、競(jìng)賽

雖然端午節(jié)還有其他一些活動(dòng)，但把賽龍舟和吃粽子這兩個(gè)tradition介紹清楚了，就非常well done啦~

英文小故事，講述端午節(jié)的來(lái)龍去脈

參考一

The Dragon Boat Festival,also called Double Fifth Festival,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.

This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan,an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides,the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice).

Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times,the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house.

Although the significance of the festival might be different from the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

端午節(jié)，又稱為端午節(jié)，定在第五個(gè)月的第五天據(jù)中國(guó)日歷。這個(gè)節(jié)日是為了紀(jì)念屈原的死，一個(gè)忠厚老實(shí)的詩(shī)人和政治家據(jù)說(shuō)在河流溺水自殺。

這個(gè)節(jié)日最重要的活動(dòng)是龍舟競(jìng)賽。它象征著人們的努力救屈原。在當(dāng)前時(shí)期，這些比賽也證明合作和團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

此外，節(jié)日還被吃的粽子(糯米)。粽子是糯米做的塞滿了不同的餡料包在竹葉或蘆葦葉。人哀悼屈原的死亡把粽子扔進(jìn)河里喂他的鬼魂。

隨著時(shí)代的變化，紀(jì)念轉(zhuǎn)向防止邪惡和疾病是一個(gè)時(shí)間的。人們會(huì)把健康的草藥掛在前門(mén)清理房子的壞運(yùn)氣。雖然這個(gè)節(jié)日的意義可能與過(guò)去不同，它仍然使觀察者看到的機(jī)會(huì)豐富的中國(guó)文化遺產(chǎn)的一部分。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals celebrated in China,which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known as Double Fifth Festival.

It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest against them.

端午節(jié)是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中最流行的節(jié)日之一，它是在陰歷五月的第五天。據(jù)說(shuō)這是為了紀(jì)念一個(gè)中國(guó)的愛(ài)國(guó)詩(shī)人屈原的死，他被中國(guó)古代腐敗官員陷害最后在汨羅河投江自殺來(lái)表示抗議。

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to place,but there are some commonalities in them.

First,the most famous and great tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to protect Qu Yuan’s body against being attacked by fishes and other animals in the river by beating drums and rowing the dragon shaped boat.

Nowadays dragon boat races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day.

It can be made by many kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhong Kui—a mythic guardian figure in ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which mean protecting, people from evil and diseases.

這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗不同的地方有不同的慶祝方式，但也有相同的方面。首先，最出名的傳統(tǒng)就是舉行龍舟比賽，這是由漁民們舉行的，通過(guò)打鼓和劃龍形的船來(lái)保護(hù)屈原的身體免受魚(yú)類(lèi)和其他動(dòng)物的攻擊。現(xiàn)在龍舟賽是人們一年一度的流行的體育活動(dòng)。此外，做和吃粽子——糯米面團(tuán)，包著竹葉或蘆葦葉，在那一天也是 一個(gè)流行的風(fēng)俗。它可以由不同種類(lèi)的餡料制成。還有就是，門(mén)上掛著草藥，人們喝雄黃酒，在門(mén)前張貼中國(guó)古代神話人物鐘馗的圖片在節(jié)日期間也是很受歡迎的，做這些的意義是保護(hù)人們免受邪惡和疾病。

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese culture.

這些習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)，在最近幾年已經(jīng)發(fā)生了一些變化，但他們?nèi)匀粸橹袊?guó)文化傳承與傳播做貢獻(xiàn)。
