我盼望已久的春节终于到来了。

晚上我们一家人一起吃了一顿团圆饭，一家人其乐融融。吃完饭，妈妈洗后。

到了春节晚会直播的时间，一家人便围坐在电视旁听着宋祖英那动听婉转的声的是刘谦两枚硬币的魔术。这一个魔术让我百思不得其解，知道魔术要耍一些把戏，但是我想知道刘谦是用什么东西让两枚硬币穿透玻璃的。然后魔术开始。

先让人检查，是普通的硬币，没疑问。后来我知道玻璃对面的助手伸过手。将硬币按在玻璃上，(助手袖子中，藏有一枚磁铁硬币。)

刘谦将手中的硬币按在玻璃上，再把自己手中的硬币藏在袖子里。此时他手中已经有一枚，手拍桌面瞬间，已有四枚，弹起后两枚合一，仔细看两遍厚度不一样。没想到这个魔术还暗藏这么多的玄机。

正月初一，是我国的传统节日“春节”。早晨，天刚亮，我就被“噼噼啪啪”的鞭炮声吵醒了。这预示着，正月初一已经到了!

我急忙穿好了衣服，跑出了房门。呵，院里一片热闹的景象：大人们正在放各种各样的鞭炮、大炮、礼炮等等，院子里成了炮的海洋。小孩子们也有一席之地，大家聚在一起，放起了旋转炮，还伴有隐隐约约的绿色、红色、黄色和“哧哧”的响声，有些小孩子有点害怕，就放起了喷花炮。看到这里，我的手痒痒了，急忙回去拿鞭炮……

回到家，家里人都在包饺子，全家人和谐、幸福，多么温暖的一家人!

这一天，我过得很快乐，除夕之夜，我们家更是欢乐多多!

除夕之夜，8点来了，春节联欢晚会也开始了。看着一个个搞笑的小品，听着一首首动听的歌曲，我们全家八口人，一边拍手，一边笑。啊!我多么希望我们家天天都这样!我好期盼过年，我好期盼过春节呀!

过春节了，我长大一岁，我觉得今年长大一岁后，我应该更加努力学习，更加孝敬父母。我一定会做到的，我一定会做到的!我不会让父母失望。

最后，祝大家天天快乐，天天如意

On New Years Eve，our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding(响亮的) crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted(机智的). He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that，they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

译文：

在新年前夕,我们班有一个聚会。气氛很好。这是普通的从一开始。男孩从一间卧室给了学生一个不寻常的性能。我们看到一个男孩名叫李新民关掉所有的灯突然折断。然后有三个响亮的(响亮的)乌鸦旋塞呼应的大厅,大厅里又突然灯火通明。

然后,卧室的代表朱国章让我们猜一行诗与上述情况有关。他补充说,李新民独自出生的狗,其他三个都出生在鸡年。他们使我们所有人陷入混乱之中。这是我们的班长是谁quickwitted(机智的)。他喊道,“天休息公鸡乌鸦在黎明的三倍。“大厅之后,他们有另一个项目。这一次李新民被中间的圆。当他站在那里,周围的其他三个站,每个向他鞠躬120度角。这是一个成语。这一次我是正确的:“狗站在一群鸡。”

Chinese New Year is the tradition festival in China.It is the same as the christmas day in the west country,it is welcome the new year.

It is the day that the families get together.

The spring festival is usually in the February ,sometimes in January.In the spring festival,every family all paste the lucky inscriptions,they fire the cracker,they eat the dumplings.The day before the new years first day is the new years eve,same as the christmas eve,all the families get together to have the new yaars dinner,wishes each other,talk about the wishes about the new year.Small children will receive the money given to children as a lunar new year gift.

我喜欢端午节，因为可以看到精彩的赛龙舟;我喜欢元宵节，因为可以吃到鲜美的肉汤圆;我喜欢中秋节，因为可以和爸爸、妈妈坐在阳台上一边吃月饼一边欣赏又圆又亮的月亮……但要问我究竟最喜欢哪一个传统节日，那还是非春节莫属。

今年春节我是在乡下过的，可有趣了大年初一，我和哥哥、姐姐每人拿个方便袋去村里的人家，挨个拜年。每到一家，我们都会对他们说：“过年好!”他们听了，便会抓一把糖放在方便袋里或给我们一些零钱当作压岁钱。等我们拜完年，已是下午1点了，我们看着自己方便袋里满满的糖和手里的压岁钱别提有多高兴了。

很久以前，人们用烟花、爆竹来驱逐传说中经常来人间作恶、捣乱的“年”兽。所以晚上，我们在大院子里放烟花、爆竹。起先，我和哥哥、姐姐，站在旁边，堵住耳朵，看着舅舅放向了第一挂鞭炮后，便拿起了一个小型鞭炮——擦炮，点燃后，扔到院子中间，只听“砰”的一声，擦炮响了，其它人听见了响声“紧随其后”点燃了烟火，放了起来，眨眼间，到处“开出”了一朵朵火红的花朵，像遍地都开满了火花。“真热闹!真热闹!”邻居小弟弟、小妹妹们早就高兴得合不拢嘴。烟花爆竹声夹杂着叫声、欢笑声，汇成了《新春交响曲》。

这么热闹的节日，怎能让我不喜欢呢?

However,the Spring Festival in 2020 is totally different.A war without smoke and

guns has started,and the "new tubular virus"pneumonia has swept through.All

然而2020年的春节却完全不一样，一场不见硝烟，不闻炮响的战争打响了，不宣而战，“新型管状病毒”席卷而至，各地各部门积极响应，共同对抗疫情。

星期六，我们一家去老家为祖先扫墓祭祀。

到了祖坟所在的山坡上时，我就拿起扫把，把祖坟周围的落叶等垃圾扫得干干净净。接着又拿起抹布，沾上清水，仔仔细细地擦着墓碑。经过一番有力地擦拭后，祖先的墓碑祖先的墓碑新的一样一尘不染，光亮如新。没多久，祖坟就被我们扫好了，我们祭拜后，便走回老家吃午饭。

吃完香喷喷的午饭后，我躺在床上，心中不由得想到：传统清明佳节是个祭拜祖先的节日，是我们大家应该做的，扫墓祭祀的我们要表扬，想来却不能来的也要给予表扬。但从来没有想过扫墓祭祀的人应该受到批评与谴责！大家有没有想过，祖先功劳有多大？祖先为我们留下了土地，让我们有地盖房，有地耕种……大家有没有想过，如果没有祖先，就没有我们，祖先的功劳不可没啊！而现在有些人到了传统清明佳节，却丝毫没有扫墓祭祀的想法，把已过世的祖先冷落一旁，任凭野草长满坟墓。这样的人难道不应受到大家的谴责吗？

又是一个传统清明佳节，这是我不由得想起了杜牧的千古名句“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂……”

Lets me tell you how Chinese spend time on the Spring Festival.The Spring Festivail has a long history in China ,and its so important for Chinese.The festival is from January 1st to January 15st .The first day of new year,people usualiy stay at home to relax.A few also can clean house.All home hardly stick couplets ,Hanging pictures and post fu word.In that night,everyone doesnt go to bed to wait for moring.Firecrackers is popular way with celebrate the NewYear.The first few days,we can see many person visit relatives and friends each other.The Spring Festival has been a Chinese traditional culture festival,what do you think of it?

春节是我国的传统节日，具有悠久的历史。春节一般在腊月就开始准备了，备年货、大扫除，但是最热闹的一天，要属除夕了。

除夕那天，除了实在离不开工作的人，都要回家与家人团圆。晚上，亲戚聚在一起聊天，妈妈婶婶们在厨房忙碌着，整个家庭充满了喜庆的氛围。丰盛可口饭菜被摆上了桌子，大人们开始敬酒，孩子们则开始大口大口地吃着美味的食物。吃完饭，长辈们要发压岁钱了。这是孩子们最高兴的时刻了，虽然，“恭喜发财、万事如意”诸类的话已经被说烂了，但是面对晚辈的礼貌，长辈们也是非常欣慰。临近12点，大人们开始到庙里去焚香，家家户户都敞开了大门，这一举动被称为“开门大吉”。电视里的春晚开始了倒计时，当最后一个数字的话音刚落，屋外就响起了噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，天空中绽放了一朵又一朵的烟花，这便算是跨年了。

大年初一早上，人人都穿上了新衣服，互相祝福，开始吃早餐。按照习俗，新年的第一餐是不能吃荤的，都要吃素，并且这一天，不能说不吉利的话，门外全是昨夜燃放的爆竹皮、纸皮，这也不能去扫的，否则会一年累到头；桌上总是会摆着一盘鱼，象征着“年年有余”，但那是摆年用的不能吃。虽然这些习俗有点难为人，但人们总是乐此不疲。

大年初一过后，按照我们这边的习俗，各个村开始摆年例，举办各类节目，游神醒狮、飘色等，这又是另一番热闹的气派。

一般年味在年初四后便淡了，但是年例又为春节的尾巴增添了喜庆，虽然我们南方过年不如北方过年逛庙会那样热闹，但也别有风味。

我们中国有许多传统文化，比如春节、端午节、中秋节等等，其中最隆重的要属于我们的春节了。传说，很久很久以前，有一种怪兽叫做“年”，每到腊月三十晚上，它就出来掠食伤人。人们知道“年”怕响、怕火、怕红，到了腊月三十这一天，人们就在家门粘贴红色的春联，放鞭炮，把“年”吓走了。这就是春节的来历。

除夕那一天，家家户户贴春联，吃饺子，农村里的人宰鸡杀猪，做年夜饭，到处喜气洋洋。

大街上，人们在开心地舞龙灯，龙灯的种类真多，有用布缝的布龙、竹子扎的篾龙、稻草扎的草龙，五颜六色，十分好看。舞龙灯的人们头扎毛巾，脚穿草鞋，扎腰束腿，舞出各种各样的动作，有双龙戏珠、大龙卷小龙、双龙盘旋。所有的龙一会儿慢慢游动，一会儿上下左右地翻腾，它们又分又合，始终不打结，真像活了一样。大人们都停下了脚步，小孩子们都高兴地跳起舞来，小脸上也露出了鲜花般的笑容！ 晚上，我们小孩子忙着放花炮，烟火飞到天空时像花儿一样盛开，有红色、蓝色、黄色……五颜六色，美丽极了！把夜空打扮得五彩缤纷、千姿百态。

春节真好，要是天天都是春节那该多好呀！

Chinese New Year is coming soon. I am very happy! I can put on my new clothes. We can get a lot of lucky money. We can eat a big dinner. We can do many interesting things. I expect Chinese New Year coming.

每当我听到越剧名段《天下掉下个林妹妹》时，我的眼前就会浮现出这样一幅画面：莺歌燕舞，鸟语花香，树木从生，百花争艳，清澈见底的潺潺流水，雍容华美的亭台楼阁。这是宝黛初见的地方——贾府。你们一见如故，相互倾慕。而我更加喜欢你——黛玉。

“天上掉下个林妹妹”，你本是三生石畔一棵绛珠草;“娴静犹似花照水”，你恬静妩媚;“行动好比风拂柳”，你摇曳生姿;“心较比干多一窍”，你冰雪聪明;“病如西子俏三分”，你柔弱娇美。“花谢花飞花满天，红消香断有谁怜”，你触景生情，感怀孤独，于是提锄挽篮，收起一方落红，扶柳洒泪，送走一池飘絮。诗社比赛中，一句“半卷湘帘半掩门，碾冰为土玉为盆”，一联“偷来梨蕊三分白，借得梅花一缕魂”，令人赞叹不已。你才华横溢，多愁善感，天生丽质，清雅脱俗。你是天上的精灵，你是凡间的天使。

你有着双重的性格：你有时聪明可爱，善解人意;有时却尖酸刻薄，高傲孤独，总带着淡淡的忧伤与哀怨。大观园里正是由于你的存在，才变得生机勃勃，多姿多彩。

你的身世注定了你的失败。你幼年丧母，早年离父，寄人篱下。你的清高与骄傲，被众人视为尖酸孤僻。你却依然我行我素，带着你一身的清高与骄傲，走完你短暂的一生。你是封建礼教的异端，是腐朽王朝的牺牲品。于是，你变成划破黑暗夜空的光芒，虽短暂但耀眼，留了凄美的爱情篇章，让后世传唱。

洗一身清洁，染一池灵动，追一方梦想，你用自己的行动诠释了“质本洁来还洁去，强于污淖陷渠沟”的信念。“天上掉下个林妹妹，似一朵轻云刚出岫。娴静犹似花照水;行动好比风拂柳……”那优美的声音久久回荡在耳畔，绕梁三日。黛玉，你这误入人间的精灵，带着遗憾又回到了天上，留在人间的是永恒的美丽，千古的绝唱!

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!
