我国有许多传统节日，比如元宵节，重阳节，端午节。但最盛大隆重的节日莫过于春节了。

There are many traditional festivals in our country, such as the Lantern Festival, the heavy Sun Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. But the most grand festival is the Spring Festival.

中国的春节，已经有四千多年的历史了，起初不叫春节，到了公元前两千一百多年，当时，人们以木星运动一周的时间为一岁，就把春节叫“岁”。公元前一千年，人们以年来表示。

China Spring Festival, has a history of over four thousand years, initially not called the Spring Festival, in more than 2100 BC, at that time, people with Jupiter movement a week for a year, the Spring Festival is called "old". In one thousand B.C., people were expressed in years.

北方人过春节和南方有很大的不同，北方晚上要包饺子，吃饺子，在百十个饺子里，有一个饺子放有硬币，吃到它的人，一年诸事顺利。南方除了要贴春联外，还要在门外搁两圈贴红纸的甘蔗，寓意进入佳境。

People in the north and south of the Spring Festival is very different to the dumplings, eating dumplings dumplings in North night, 100, there is a dumpling with the coin, the person who eats it, a well. In addition to the southern spring festival couplets, but also put two ring paste red paper cane in the door, meaning into something.

我最喜欢过春节了，一到春节，就能穿上新衣服，拿红包。除夕早上，我和爸爸一起贴春联，贴完后，又开始贴“福”字，只见爸爸把“福”倒着贴在了墙上，我问：“爸爸，为什么“福”要倒着贴呢？爸爸笑着回答：“这意思就表示福倒（到）。”我又拿了一张“财”字，正要倒着贴，爸爸说：“财到不就财倒了吗？所以要横着贴，意思就是发横财。”我若有所思地点点头。

I like the Spring Festival the most. In the Spring Festival, I can put on new clothes and take the red bag. On the eve of new years Eve, I put up a spring festival couplet with my dad. After finishing it, I began to paste the word "Fu". I saw my father sticking Fu on the wall. I asked, "Daddy, why is" Fu "stuck instead? Dad smiled and replied, "this means blessing." I also took a "money" word, just to fall on, dad said: "is not money to the money? So was posted, meaning that windfall." I thought and nodded.

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一边吃着香喷喷的火锅，一边看着春晚，真是一件大好事啊！到了深夜十二点，四周围仿佛炸开了锅，烟花有的像一颗“炮弹”，突然，分解成无数的小“炮弹”，紧接着，小“炮弹”又绽开了“花儿”。还有的烟花像流星一样划过天空，又变成了一个个小小点分散了，消失了。热闹的声音传遍了整个同安……

In the evening, my father and mother and I eat a fragrant hot pot while watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is really a great thing. At twelve oclock at night, it seemed as if the surrounding area had exploded. Some fireworks were like a "shell". Suddenly, they broke into numerous small shells. Then, the small shells exploded again. The fireworks, like meteors, crossed the sky, and they became small and scattered, and disappeared. The noisy sound spread all over the same peace...

我喜欢过春节！

I like the Spring Festival!

Everyone has a hobby, some people like swimming, some people like playing

video games. Fishing is my fathers favorite hobby. He goes fishing every Sunday

morning, and goes home in the afternoon.My hobby is playing piano. I started

playing piano from five years old. I like to play it after school. I have a

plan, I want to play a birthday song for my mother, because next monday is her

birthday. I think she will like my present very much.

每个人都有爱好，有些人喜欢游泳，有些人喜欢玩电子游戏。我父亲最喜欢的爱好是钓鱼，他每个星期天的早晨都会去钓鱼，下午才回家。我的爱好是弹钢琴。我从5岁就开始弹了。我喜欢在放学后弹。我有一个计划，我想在给我妈妈弹一首生日歌，因为下周一就是她的生日。我想她会非常喜欢我的礼物的。

Tree and Ax

Ilike to tell you a story today ,it is Tree and Ax:A woodman came into a

forest to ask the trees to give him a handle for Ax.It seemed so modest a

request that the principal tree at once agreed to it,and it was settled among

them that the plain,homely Ash should finish what was wanted.No sooner had the

woodman fitted the staff to his purpose,than he began laying about him on all

side.Felling the whole matter too late,whishpered to the Cedar:“the fist

concession has lost all;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor,we might

have yet stood for ages ourselves”The story was a satire on ungrateful

people,and it also shows us that giving alms to the enemy is cruelty to

yourself

参考翻译

树和斧子

今天我要给你讲个故事，就是“树和斧子”：有一个樵夫到森林里，要求树给他一把斧柄，看来他的请求非常谦虚，立刻得到了树的首领的同意。他们决定由平凡而朴素的白杨树来提供所需要的东西。樵夫刚按好斧柄，就开始到处乱砍，森林里最高的树都被砍到了，森林现在察觉大势已去，就小声对杉树说：“第一次的让步已经失去了一切。如果我们不牺牲我们的小小邻居，我们还可以活无数年呢。”这故事讽刺了忘恩负义的人，也告诉我们对敌人的施舍就是对自己的残忍。

Children’s education has been concerned by the public all the time. As they

are the future and will decide a country’s destiny, so the environment matters

so much to them. Most parents expect the school can provide the children a good

learning environment and ignore the importance of home education.

School provides the children a direct stage to receive education. In the

school, the teachers pass knowledge and educate them the right value. The

children know their task and as everybody around them focus the attention on

study, so they are affected by each other and have the strong desire to

learn.

Home education is easy to be ignored by most parents, they think it is the

teachers’ duty to educate children. Actually, most criminal teenagers have

family issues. Parents haven’t set good example for the kids. Sometimes they are

even the trouble makers. Without love, teenagers won’t grow up as the strong

people.

Both school and family environment are important for the children, and they

need to be nurtured with the good examples and learn knowledge.

时光飞逝，转眼时又是一个多姿多彩的新年，今年是猪年，是我们的吉祥之年，有一半的人是属猪的，而我却不是。

当在大年初一这天，我和几个小伙伴一起放鞭炮，我们高高兴兴地来到了小店，再回来的路上，我们四处乱放，有一个伙伴，不小心把鞭炮放在了草堆里，火在雄雄地烧了起来，把他吓了，于是他把

草滚到了河里，这才解了难。

到了第二天，我还在我家后面的冰上放了起来。我先去河里踩了一下冰，我发现那里的冰很厚比石头还要厚。

于是，我便用鞭炮向河里一扔，只见“啪”的一声冰全破了，而且还溅起了水花。我还在冰上踢足球，一不小心，我差点掉河里，从此，以后我再也不再冰上踢足球了。

到了晚上，我还在天空中放了三个孔明灯，我还许了三个愿望，过了一会我发现四面八方全都是孔明灯，那情景，好比蓝天般宽阔。就像是一大堆气球在空中，自由自在地顺风而行。

从这件事中，我体会到：我们不能乱放鞭炮。

Xiaomei and I went out this morning. We went to the city centre. We went

window shopping, and then we had lunch at the restaurant. We didnt buy anything

as we didnt have much money, but we still had a wonderful time.

今天上午我和小梅出去了。我们去了市中心。我们去逛街然后到餐馆吃饭。我们没有没东西，因为我们没有多少钱，可是我们过的很开心。

农历十二月二十九日是一个喜庆又快乐的日子，因为这一天是猪年春节。下午，爸爸妈妈忙得不可开交，都在准备晚上那顿丰富的年夜饭哩!我和妹妹趁爸爸妈妈在准备晚餐的空档，洗了头洗了澡。洗着洗着，一股诱人的香味扑鼻而来，原来是妈妈正在煮妹妹最爱吃的糖醋排骨。 The 29th day of the lunar calendar is a happy and happy day, because this day is the Spring Festival of the Year of the Pig.In the afternoon, Mom and Dad were too busy, and they were preparing to have the rich New Years Eve dinner at night! My sister and I took a bath while my parents were preparing for dinner.Washing, a seductive fragrance came, it turned out to be the sweet and sour pork ribs that the mother was cooking her sister.

洗完澡以后，我带着妹妹来到赣州公园，打算转一圈。在赣州公园的门口，花坛上有两条龙，中间一个灯笼，这不这个是双龙戏珠吗?走进赣州公园，里面一条小“河”，准确的说不是河，因为里面只有一点儿水，连小鱼都不来光顾。河上有座小桥。走过小桥，姿态不一的太湖石映入眼帘，犹如一座假山。往右走，又有一座桥，这是一座拱桥，桥通往一个亭子。亭子外有搭石，每块石头大约有一米高，像一个个小柱子……

玩了一会儿，我和妹妹就回家了。回到家，虽说是四点半，还没到晚上，但是已经听到远处传来震耳欲聋的鞭炮声。看到爸爸妈妈还在忙，我便又去玩了一个小时的电脑。“吃饭了!吃饭了!”妈妈大声喊道。我跑到餐厅一看，满桌子都是大家爱吃的菜：有妹妹爱吃的糖醋排骨，有爸爸爱吃的扣肉，还有奶奶爱吃的鱼丸……

看着这些美味佳肴，馋得我口水都流出来了。不等大家上桌，我禁不住拿起筷子，夹起一片扣肉，咬了一大口，一边吃一边发出“真好吃啊”的赞叹。

吃完饭，天空中早已是五彩缤纷，到处都在放烟花爆竹。小朋友们有的玩烟花，有的玩爆竹。我也不例外，用自己的零花钱买了两盒甩炮玩。突然“哗哗——哗哗——”一场倾盆大雨如豆大的汗珠从天空中滚落下来。天空中顿时电闪雷鸣，风雨交加。

虽然天空中下着倾盆大雨，但是耀眼的礼花还在空中闪烁，鞭炮还是震耳欲聋，家家户户还灯火通明，那五彩缤纷的烟花映红了大地，映红了天空，映亮了人们的心房，点燃了人们新的美好的希望……新年快乐。

12 May 2006

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF) with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

新年到了，又到了吃饺子、看春晚的时候了。去年，我没有吃到饺子中的硬币，我都不高兴了一年呢!因此，今年我一定要吃到象征好运的硬币。

一天的期盼，终于等到了华灯初上的时刻。我和一家人围坐在一起开始包饺子了。奶奶把面和好，妈妈准备了饺子馅，很快就开始包饺子了。我先包了一个大大、圆圆的饺子，大家看了，哈哈大笑，因为我包的饺子像个“不倒翁”，歪歪扭扭的，怎么也站不住，我自己看了，都忍不住笑得直不起腰。

趁大家不注意，奶奶悄悄地把一个崭新的硬币，放进了其中的一个饺子中，没想到，奶奶的这个动作却被我这个小机灵鬼给发现了。我心想：今年我一定要吃到这个有硬币的饺子。于是，从现在开始，我什么也不做了，就“守护”我的这个心目中的饺子身边。谁知道，饺子熟了以后都一样，我也分不出哪个是我守候了半天的饺子了，把我急坏了!气得我左看右看，不知道吃哪个才好。正在我犹豫不决时，大家开始吃饺子了。爸爸真幸运，吃的第一个饺子就吃到了硬币，真是没办法，我只好再等待来年了。

午夜的钟声就要敲响了，爸爸拿了好多的鞭炮跑到外面。顿时，彩花漫天，天空亮如白昼，我在房间里不禁拍手，大叫“太漂亮了”。我忽然转过身，问妈妈：“为什么过年一定要放鞭炮呢?”妈妈笑着告诉我说：“传说古时候有年兽，常常出来害人吃牲畜，村民想办法要把年兽消灭掉。突然有一天，村民发现年兽怕光亮和响声，于是村民们就放鞭炮把年兽赶跑了。从此，民间就有了过年放鞭炮的习俗。“噢，原来是这样啊!”

放完鞭炮，我们全家人一边看春晚一边吃饺子，我真想每天都是春节，一家人快快乐乐地在一起，那该多好啊!

春节是什么?我觉得春节就是孩子们的狂欢节!因为在春节里你可以在用上课，不用做家庭作业也不用上课外辅导班!你可以一觉睡到上午十点钟，你还可以看电视，还可以和小伙伴们尽情玩游戏!春节是我最喜欢的节日之一，在这个春节里我过的非常开心，很多事都让我难以忘记，春节真的是欢乐的季节，幸福的海洋，到处是欢声笑语!

对于我来说春节从放寒假就开始了，也只有在农村老家才能更好的体会到春节的味道，春节的最高潮当然是除夕的那一天。那天早晨八点多一点爷爷就叫醒了我，说今天要给我分配任务。我在床上又拖了一会儿，到快九点才起床!爷爷给我的任务就是：把去年的老春联和年画全部撕下来，准备贴新的春联!我和弟弟一个楼上一个楼下欢天喜地的干了起来。好在我已有准备，我和妈妈，爸爸，弟弟一起动手。我负责在春联的背后涂上胶水，爸爸负责贴，同时我还要分上下联，看高底对称，忙的我满天大汗，很快就贴好了!看着新鲜红色的春联我想到了一句古诗，只把新桃换旧符!新的一年就从崭新的春联开始!来年一定红红火火!中午我们简单的吃了午饭后，爷爷就开始准备年夜饭了，可是我发现，到下午一点钟左右，就有人家吃年夜饭了，“这是为什么呢?”我问爸爸。爸爸告诉我说：“我们这儿有个风俗，谁家先吃年夜饭，谁家来年就有好运!”“那也太早了吧!”“那还有什么好说的呢，开吃吧!”

然后大家都换上了新衣服，小朋友们开始收红包!到了晚上，我们还放了很多的烟火，看着绚丽多彩的天空，我突然觉得一年过的真快，明天又是新的一年了，我在美丽的烟花中许下心愿：愿我的家人身体健康，愿我的学习天天向上!

晚上爸爸去打牌了，我在春晚的歌声中进入慢慢的进入了梦乡!

Yesterday, I decided to go outside for picnic, but unfortunately, it

suddenly rained.I felt very disappointed, but I knew one thing: next time, when

I decide to do something, I should pay attention to the weather

forecast.Finally, I had to change my mind, and I had to stay at home all day

watching TV and reading books.I like sunny days very much, and I dont like

rainy days any more. But I know if there are no rainy days, there will be a lack

of water, and I know it is very terrible if there is not enough water.But I

still like sunny days because I like sunshine very much.

昨天我决定去野炊，不幸的是突然下雨了，我感到很失望。但我知道了一件事，下次当我决定做什么的时候，应该留意一下天气预报。最后，我不得不改变我的主意。整天呆在家里看电视和书。我很喜欢晴天，一点也不喜欢下雨天。但是我知道如果不下雨的话，我们就没有水，那很糟。但我仍然喜欢晴天，因为我非常喜欢阳光。

my holiday was very wonderful.and it was very busy. in the morning.i went to the park with my parents.im very happy. at noon.i went to the restaurant with my parents. the food was very delicious. in the evening.i was watch tv.then i did my homework.last,i went to bed at10 oclock.

oh! it was winter holiday. i was very happy. i read my favourite books. i have many wonderful books. but i could not read these books too much. i also had a lot of homework to do. i like playing computer games, too. it”s very interesting. but i could not play it too much. i wear glasses, i”m very sad. it”s not good for my eyes to play computer games too much.

oh! it was the spring festival. it”s chinese traditional festival. people were very happy. they went shopping, cleaned their houses, had supper together......i went to my grandparents” home with my parents. my grandparents were very happy to see us. they prepared many kinds of nice food, such as fish, meat, vegetables and fruit. in the evening, we watched tv and lighted fireworks. we also knocked on people”s doors and gave some presents to them. after the spring festival, we went to shanghai to go shopping. we bought clothes, shoes and some delicious food.

i had a good holiday, i think. i also have very nice school life now.

今天，是一个非常特殊的日子。这是因为今天是20xx年的最后一天——腊月三十，也就是我们平时说的“新年”。

我家的“新年”既忙碌、又热闹。

一大早的，妈妈和奶奶就起来做年菜；爸爸和爷爷也不闲着，爸爸在门外贴上了红红的对联，爷爷则在屋里贴好了各色的年画；而我和弟弟呢？却在客厅里尽情的看着电视，嘴里还不时地嚼着糖果之类的东西，这可真是优哉游哉！

除夕夜终于到了，大家各自穿着新衣裳坐在椅子上餐桌上摆满了鸡、鸭、鱼、肉，看得我和弟弟口水都要流出来了。

开饭前首先要做的事情就是要向长辈“贺词”。我首先说了一句：“祝爷爷奶奶福如东海、寿比南山。”紧接着弟弟开口了：“祝爸爸妈妈工作顺利、万事如意。”说完之后，弟弟见爸爸还没有反应，就又说：“爸爸，您好象还有一件事情没有做吧？”爸爸想了一会儿，便从口袋里拿出了两个大红包给了我们兄弟俩，接着说：“这回你们俩个小淘气总算满意了吧！”

顿时，客厅里响起了一阵接一阵的欢笑声。

在东方，有这样一个热闹非凡。无处不在的传统节日。它带来了新的气象，新的欲望，赋予更多的象征与祝福。它就是——春节，中国人把春节当成一件重大的事情。而在今年，我体验到了全新的节日气氛，感受到在城市过年的气息。 In the east, there is such a lively and extraordinary.Traditional festivals everywhere.It brings new weather, new desires, and gives more symbols and blessings.It is -the Spring Festival, the Chinese treat the Spring Festival as a major thing.This year, I experienced a new festive atmosphere and the breath of the New Year in the city.

往年我们都驱车回到乡下过年。在乡下，家家户户都十分热闹。无论路途多么遥远，旅途多么疲惫，为了回家过年，为了回家探望家人，为了全家人团圆，都从千里迢迢之外赶回家乡。顿时无名乡下变得人来人往，好似一个风景区。挨家挨户门前都喜气洋洋地挂上一盏红灯笼，远远望去犹如一只龙正在休息，预示着红红火火，发大财。

待到初一大早，便开始了串门。你来我家，我去你家，喝上一杯热茶，吃上口甜品，给别人甜一下，预示他合家安康，同时自己也得到幸福。乡下的春节可谓是其乐隆隆，乐到其中。可是今年，爸爸临时宣布不回老家，就在城市过年。我重来就没有在城市过年，这次春节可要与众不同了，我十分期待春节将至。

度日如年，在盼望中，热闹的春节来临了。春节早上，我们全家人走在去往亲人的家大街上，原本以为街上会张灯结彩。红旗飘飘，可是这一切都在我的意料之外。那繁华的城市主干道，就在这期间发生翻天覆地的变化。不管是当铺还是名牌店都紧闭大门，没有一家店铺营业;不管是自行车还是豪车早已无影无踪，除了过往车辆，再也没有车的出现;地上的垃圾并非像以往工作时那样多，几乎不需要清扫，好让清洁工人休息几天……我先是惊讶一番，然后渐渐的感受到城市的春节如此安静，好似一座空城，给人一种畏惧的感觉!

现在我开始怀恋在乡下过年。那红瓦黄墙的房子，那草长莺飞的二月，枝头上的小鸟欢快的唱着，涓涓细流的小溪，缓缓地流淌着，发出清脆的流水声。我们全家人沿路拜年，每家每户都十分热情款待。我们走近客厅，坐在茶几旁，电暖灯照着我们。喝上一杯热茶，品上一口甜品，多么美味!一切似乎都那样生机，那样温暖!可现在，顶着寒风，穿梭马路，一切又那样的寂静，真是天壤之别啊!我开始想打退堂鼓，对着城市的春节有些怨倦，没有了刚才那种欲望!

今年的春节，我真正的体验到城市的春节如此寂静，这让我始终无法接受。我后悔莫及，只能冷静的回想以往春节的美好瞬间。那莺歌燕舞的天地，那巍峨的山峰，草儿在风中不停的摇摆……

结束了第一个学期，放寒假了，也就迎来了春节。

春节是我国传统的节日，在一片片鹅毛般的大雪里，在一阵阵噼噼啪啪的鞭炮声里春节到了，小朋友欢欢喜喜的在雪地里玩耍，放小鞭炮，堆雪人，大人们都在家里搞卫生，包种子，杀鸡杀鸭，准备 年货，真是热闹。到了大年三十傍晚五点左右，鞭炮声一阵接一阵响个不停，在一阵鞭炮声后，大家都在家里吃年夜饭了，吃完年夜饭大家会做在电视机前你精彩的春节联欢晚会，到晚上十二点整，又 是一阵热闹的鞭炮声，因为即将迎来新的一年的第一天，过去的一年在这鞭炮声中结束了，崭新的一年也在这人漂亮的鞭炮烟花声中来临了，我也就又大一岁了。

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

今天除夕，我们一家人欢聚在一起吃团圆饭。

吃过晚饭，爸妈他们忙着挂灯笼、贴对联，也少不了我买的鞭炮，有坦克、星球大战、熊猫爬竿等。天色一暗，我点燃了一个坦克，吸引了许多小朋友，我一下又串到那边看看，有圆的、方的、长的各式各样。不一会儿，天空出现了一道亮丽的风景，仿佛穿上了绚丽多彩的衣裳呢。还有那团烟雾在空中随风飘动，就好像仙女在跳舞一样。时不时发出小朋友们的嘻笑声，还有震耳的鞭炮声，就像是给它伴奏呢。真的好美啊!

要是天天这样，不仅玩的开心还有压岁钱，那多好啊!
