It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

译文：

据说，在公元300年，有一个善良的老人，他的名字是圣尼古拉斯。他总是愿意帮助穷人，常常送礼物给他们。

如今，圣诞老人是一个虚构的人物，但几乎所有的孩子都相信他。他们认为他是一个快乐长长的白胡子和一个长长的红色长袍的老人。

在第二十每年的十二月份的第四夜，父亲从寒冷的北方一些圣诞归结土地的壁炉烟囱提出的儿童床礼物或填补他们的袜子。因此，当孩子上床睡觉，那天晚上，他们就挂上他们的袜子，并在圣诞节早晨醒来发现他们装满礼物。当然，这需要他们的父母谁填补了袜子。

圣诞老人的另一个名字是圣诞老人。

[介绍圣诞老人的英文作文及翻译

2015年9月8日为白露节气，古人云：“阴气渐重，露凝而白”。若从四时配五行而论，则“秋属金，金色白，白者露之色，而气始寒也”。俗语说：“处暑十八盆，白露勿露身”。说的是处暑时节天热，尚可每天一盆水浇身，但是到了白露时气温下降，赤膊裸体则容易着凉。因温度变化迅速，故民间有“白露秋风夜，一夜凉一夜”的说法。又说：“喝了白露水，蚊子闭了嘴”;“白露打枣，秋分卸梨”。

此时养生讲究多吃富含维生素的食品，也可进补鸭肉、鱼肉、瘦肉、豆制品等。我国最早的一部诗歌总集《诗经》中，就有关于白露的描写，且脍炙人口：“蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。所谓伊人，在水一方。溯洄从之，道阻且长。溯游从之，宛在水中央……”诗人白居易的咏叹也很有味道：“凉风吹枕席，白露湿衣裳”;“白露凋花花不残，凉风吹叶叶初乾”。

去暑找黍，白露割谷

吃秋，老北京时不同的阶层人们有不同的吃法。一般中下层的百姓人家讲究“吃秋鲜儿”他们认为吃新粮吃新的蔬果最富有营养。俗语曾有“去暑找黍，白露割谷”之说，入秋后各住户中的主妇们要尝鲜儿，常去购买新上市的玉米(即玉蜀黍)面、玉米渣、高粱米，新小麦磨成的白面。

用这些新粮为老少一家人蒸制出美味的枣窝头、枣馒头、懒龙、花卷以及玉米渣粥、高粱米饭等花样主食，或者割点肉买点新上市的韭菜、茴香、小白菜制作出馋人的水饺、锅贴、菜团子、糊饼、馅盒子等。

家境较好的四合院人家入秋后常烹制红烧肉、红烧鱼、炖鸡鸭等富含蛋白质的肉类佳肴来贴秋膘。而旧京的一些社会名流、文人墨客、演艺界名伶们的吃秋则非常讲究，常携家人或约好友下饭庄饭馆。聚餐，饮酒品尝名肴或吃北京风味的烤鸭烤肉涮肉等名吃。一些人还有手提着全聚德的烤鸭或水果等相互馈赠之俗。这些吃秋及送礼之俗曾是旧京街市及四合院一道市井秋景儿。

柿甜杏酸--果子干

“一候凉风至;二候白露生;三候寒蝉鸣”。立秋之后天气渐凉，秋季宜少辛多酸。由于酸味食物入肝，肝气挟制肺气，从而可使人体维持在一个平衡的状态。故秋天人们在饮食方面要少吃干燥辛辣的食物，多食些养阴生津的酸品。如果您以为所指仅限于酸味的蔬果，确着实过于乏味。今天就给大家还原一道最地道的老北京酸甜小吃。

《燕都小食品杂咏》中有记：“杏干柿饼镇坚冰，藕片切来又一层。劝尔多添三两碗，保君腹泻厕频登。”的诗句，这说的便是“果子干”。果子干原本是老北京夏天极为常见的解暑小吃，但是随着外来冰品的取代，很多人早已将其忘怀。早在唐鲁孙先生的书中有描述道：“过去卖果子干从来不吆喝，可是手里有对小银碗，一手托两碗，用拇指食指夹起上面的，向下面的敲打，敲的好的能敲出好多清脆的花点来。”如今念着，想来也觉是重现了一幅老北京市场里的景象。

其实制作的原料简单至极，只有三样。柿饼、杏干和鲜藕片。可您不要小看这三样东西的配搭，那做法可是极为考究的，要得让成品既不能稀如水，也不能稠如粥。定要先用水将柿饼、杏干泡过，再掰碎发开，临了还要切上几片薄脆的藕片。将整碗镇在冰箱里。吃时舀上一勺，呷一下便一股脑的顺势滑入口中，顿将“两腋生风柿甜杏酸”的妙处了然于心。

白露打枣，秋分卸梨

秋季吃梨，最是滋润清火祛秋燥。“白露打枣，秋分卸梨”是一句农事谚语，新鲜的枣子、水灵灵的梨，都是这个季节成熟的时令果实。梨的种类很多，雪梨、鸭梨、沙梨、香梨、烟台梨等等，每种的外形和口感都不相同。

梨肉多汁，有润肺、祛痰化咳、通便秘、利消化的作用，对心血管也很有好处。但梨性寒容易伤脾胃，不可多吃。除了鲜吃，梨还很适合榨汁或炖甜汤。冰糖雪梨是一道常见的甜品，加上川贝一起炖，止咳效果更佳。

白露喝粥 祛凉防燥

白露时节的适宜膳食有莲子百合粥、银杏鸡丁、山药等，这些饮食有清肺润燥、止咳平喘、补养气血、健脾补肾的功效。而有哮喘、气管炎、咽炎以及过敏性鼻炎等呼吸系统疾病的人，尽量少吃带鱼、螃蟹、虾类、韭菜、生冷食物腌制菜品和过于甘肥油腻的食物。中医认为海产品多为大寒之品，易伤脾胃，肠胃功能不好的人应少吃或不吃海鲜，而多吃辣椒等刺激性的食物则会影响肺、大便和皮肤。

白露时节，很多人认为炎热的夏季已过去，秋冬季节已经到来，所以刚到秋天，就开始“贴秋膘”大量进补，却忽略了季节性的易发病，如秋天好发的过敏性鼻炎、气管炎和哮喘等，所以在进补的同时要因人而异。特别是对于那些因体质过敏而引发的上述疾病，在饮食调节上更要慎重。对于体虚者，这时候，最好通过食补代替药补，而食补首推粥。

白露季节，早晨喝碗粥，既能治秋凉，又能防秋燥。如银耳粥、莲米粥、芝麻粥、红枣粥、红薯粥、玉米粥等。魏新军说，对于病人来说，药物需要辨证诊治，而对于健康人来说，同样可以食补。

世上最大的恩情,莫过于父母的养育之恩.值得我们用生命去珍爱,用至诚的心去感激,用切实行动去报恩.

“羊有跪乳之情,鸦有反哺之义”.而人也应有尽孝之念,莫等到欲尽孝而亲不在,终留下人生的一大遗撼,要想将来不后悔莫及,从现在就要从身边的小事去感恩父母,回报父母.回报也不一定非的是物质上的回报,更多的是精神上的、情感上的.就算是远渡重洋、留学海外,我们时刻要怀揣着一颗感恩的心.正如世纪老人巴金所说：“我是春蚕吃的桑叶就要吐丝.”春蚕付出了,也获得了,得到的却是人们的赞美与钦佩.

父母是我们人生的第一任老师,从一个孩子呱呱坠地的那一刻起,他的生命就倾注了父母无尽的爱与祝福.或许,父母不能给我们奢华的生活,但是,他们给予了一个人一生中不可替代的——生命

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空,当你受伤时,哭泣时,忧郁时,难过时,你可以随时回到这里,享受父母的爱.感恩父母,哪怕是一件微不足道的事,都能让他们感到欣慰.我记得央视曾播过的一个公益广告：一个小男孩,吃力的端着一盆水,天真的对妈妈说：“妈妈,洗脚!”就是这样的一部广告时至今日,仍在热播,它的感情动人心腑,不知感染了多少人.很多人为其流泪,不止为了可爱的男孩,也为了那一份至深的爱,和发自内心对母亲的感恩.

同学们,让我们学会感恩父母吧!用一颗感恩的心去对待父母,用一颗真诚的心去与父母交流,不要再认为父母是理所当然帮我们做任何事情的,他们把我们带到这美丽的世界,已经是足够的伟大,且将我们养育成人,不求回报,默默的为我们付出,我们就别再一味地索求他们的付出,学会感恩,怀着一颗感恩的心,去感恩父母吧!

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to serve as your guide today。

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City。 It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today。 Under Ming Emperor Yongle， construction began in 1406。 It took 14years to build the Forbidden City。 The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi。 For five centuries thereafter， it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne。 In 1987， the United Nations Educational， Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy。

It is believed that the Palace Museum， or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City)， got its name from astronomy folklore， The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan (North Star) 。 The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace。 Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods， his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence。 In folklore， the term “an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher， LaoZi， to the Hanghu Pass。 Here， purple is associated with auspicious developments。 The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people。

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic。 Red represents happiness， good fortune and wealth。 Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau， the original home of the Chinese people。 Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty， when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture。

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape。 It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west。 It has 9，900 rooms under a total roof area 150，000 square meters。 A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9。 9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex。 Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall。 There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south， the Shenwu Gate (Gate of Military Prowess) to the north， and the Xihua Gate (Gate of military Prowess) to the north， and the Xihua Gate (Western Flowery Gate ) to the west， the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east。

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City。 A total of 230，000 artisans and one million laborers were employed。 Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province。 Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province。 Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China。 Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province。 Timber was cut， processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions。

International Womens Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by womens groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Womens Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand womens suffrage.

The idea of an International Womens Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:

1909

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Womans Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

1910

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Womens Day, international in character, to honour the movement for womens rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911

As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Womens Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Womens Day.

1913-1914

As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Womens Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.

1917

With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Womens Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international womens movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations womens conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand womens rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Womens Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of womens rights.

The Role of the United Nations

Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to societys most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the worlds women.

范本二

Some 15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights。 A hundred year on, the pertinence of this event is honored through IWD’s 2008 global theme ‘Shaping Progress’.

1908年，一万五千名妇女走上纽约街头，这缩短工作时间、提高工资待遇、享有选举权游行示威。100年之后，今年国际妇女节的主题是“塑造进步”

In just three years, 2011 will see IWD’s Centenary – 100 years of women’s united action for global equality and change. Organizations around the world have already commenced planning fo r their IWD Centenary celebrations.

三年后将是国际妇女节100周年，也是各为妇女为全球平等和改变共同行动100周年。世界各地有关组织已经开始为国际妇女节百年华诞张罗庆典。

The first International Women’s Day was launched on 8 March 1911 in Copenhagen by Clara Zetkin, Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.From joozone.com. www.en369.cn/zhongkao/2011/0929/20291.html

第一个国际妇女节于1911年3月8日，由德国社会民主党“妇女办公室”领导人克拉拉。蔡特金发动，在哥本哈根举行。

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the “white ribbon” campaign, which delivers the message that men are opposed to some other men’s violence against women.

1991年，由一群加拿大男性公民倡议发起的“白丝带”活动，就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。

Women’s Day marks the role of women in both past and the present. However , the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings – honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.

“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于：3月8日这天，各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓;3月8日之后，一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散。

太阳到达黄经285°时为小寒。

小寒节气开始，北京的平均气温一般在-5℃上下，极端最低温度在-15℃以下;中国东北北部地区，真是一个冰雕玉琢的世界。都是一派严冬的景象。小寒时节，除南方地区要注意给小麦油菜等作物追施冬肥，海南和华南大部分地区则主要是做好防寒防冻、积肥造肥和兴修水利等工作。在冬前浇好冻水、施足冬肥、培土壅根的基础上，寒冬季节采用人工覆盖法也是防御农林作物冻害的重要措施。当寒潮成强冷空气到来之时，泼浇稀粪水，撤施草木灰，可有效地减轻低温对油菜的危害，露地栽培的蔬菜地可用作物秸秆、稻草等稀疏地撒在菜畦上作为冬季长期覆盖物，既不影响光照，又可减小菜株间的风速，阻档地面热量散失，起到保温防冻的效果。遇到低温来临再加厚覆盖物作临时性覆盖，低温过后再及时揭去。大棚蔬菜这时要尽量多照阳光，即使有雨雪低温天气，棚外草帘等覆盖物也不可连续多日不揭，以免影响植株正常的光合作用，造成营养缺乏，天晴揭帘时导致植株萎蔫死亡。高山茶园，特别是西北向易受寒风侵袭的茶园，要以稻草、杂草或塑料薄膜覆盖篷面，以防止风抽而引起枯梢和沙暴对叶片的直接危害。雪后，应及早摇落果树枝条上的积雪，避免大风造成枝干断裂。

典籍记载

小寒，十二月节。月初寒尚小，故云。月半则大矣。

鴈北乡【去声】。乡，向导之义。二阳之候，鴈将避热而回，今则乡北飞之，至立春后皆归矣，禽鸟得气之先故也。

鹊始巢。喜鹊也，鹊巢之门每向太岁，冬至天元之始，至后二阳已得来年之节气，鹊遂可为巢，知所向也。

雉雊【音姤】。雉，文明之禽，阳鸟也;雊，雌雄之同鸣也，感于阳而后有声。

气温

小寒时北京的平均气温一般在一5℃上下，极端最低温度在—15℃以下;东北北部地区，这时的平均气温在—30℃左右，极端最低气温可低达—50℃以下，午后最高气温平均也不过—20℃。黑龙江、内蒙古和新疆45°N以北的地区及藏北高原，平均气温在—20℃上下，40°N附近的河套以西地区平均气温在—10℃上下。到秦岭、淮河一线平均气温则在0℃左右，此线以南已经没有季节性的冻土，冬作物也没有明显的越冬期。这时的江南地区平均气温一般在5℃上下，虽然田野里仍是充满生机，但亦时有冷空气南下，造成一定危害。

特点

当太阳黄经达285度时，小寒节气开始。寒即寒冷，小寒表示寒冷的程度。

中国南方地区冬暖显著，隆冬1月，霜雪交侵，常有冰冻，最低气温在零下10℃左右。而华南北部最低气温却很少低于零下5℃，华南南部0℃以下的低温更不多见。中国隆冬最冷的地区是黑龙江北部，最低气温在可达零下40℃左右，天寒地冻，滴水成冰。低海拔河谷地带，则是中国南方大部分地区隆冬最暖的地方，1月平均气温在12℃左右，只有很少年份可能出现0℃以下的低温。加之逆温效应十分显著，所以香蕉、芒果等热带水果能够良好生长。

小寒节气，东亚大槽发展得最为强大和稳定，蒙古冷高压和阿留申低压也达到最为强大且稳定，西风槽脊尺度达到最大，并配合最强的西风强度。小寒节气冷空气降温过程频繁，但达到寒潮标准的并不多。

俗话说，“冷在三九”。“三九”多在1月9日至17日，也恰在小寒节气内。但这只是一般规律，少数年份大寒也可能比小寒冷。而人们记忆犹新的1975年冬，气温最低的节气竟是大雪哩!

华南冬季最低气温不低，有利于生产，也适宜发展多种经营。“受命不迁，生南国兮”的柑桔，生长一般要求最低气温不低于零下5℃、年温高于15℃，华南内绝大多数地区都能满足，副热带植物也几乎应有尽有。只所以如此，得天独厚的气候条件，应当是一个很重要的因素。

不过天气并不完全靠节气掌控，小寒冷不冷，关键还要看冷空气的声势大不大。昨日的气温还算给小寒“面子”，北方该冷的大部分地区气温却并没有陡降，可昨日南方部分城市气温却是达到了零下几度。

小寒节气，人们还要注意气象台对强冷空气的预报，预防大风降温和雨雪天气对春运的影响，注意防寒防冻。
