In spite of the flood disaster, a good harvest is still in sight.

Yesterday we went to a nearby village to help the peasants get in the crops. We left our school early in the morning. It took us half an hour to reach the village. As soon as we got there, we joined the peasants in their harvesting work. They taught us how to cut rice, and how to tie it. It was in the fields that we had our lunch. After lunch, we had a short rest. We were fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the countryside. It got dark when we returned home. We were very tired, but we felt very happy.

Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.

现在让我说关于京剧。京剧在中国很受欢迎。它已经有200多年的历史。在清朝乾隆年间,乾隆对地方剧有兴趣。1790,为了庆祝他的八十岁生日,他从不同的地方戏曲剧团召唤到北京为他表演。来自安徽省的四个剧团表演完后留在了北京。1828年,一个湖北剧团来到北京,经常与安徽剧团一起演出。两种唱法混合在一起,逐渐成了一种新的类型被称为京剧。现在京剧就要开始了。我希望你会喜欢它。

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees, big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year?

October 31 is Halloween, one of the most popular festivals in the US, Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout: "Trick or treat!" Of course, usually people give them "treats" - a like sweets and chocolates。 But, if you dont, you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks, while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula! The motto is: "The scarier, the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain, people drink "Witchs Mix", made with apple, orange, grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms," made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"? Dont worry, theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins, called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First, the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then, a face is cut into the pumpkin, traditionally a smiling, devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside, and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting, "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course, people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

Im Oktober ist Hochsaison für Hexen, Gespenster, Geister und alle, die sich gerne Gruseln, denn am 31. Oktober ist Halloween.

十月是女巫,幽灵,鬼魂和一切让人不寒而栗的东西出现的旺季,因为10月31日是万圣节

Ursprünglich, vor Hunderten von Jahren, war Halloween ein Herbstfest der Druiden im alten England. Es sei die einzige Nacht des Jahres, so glaubten die Menschen damals, in der Hexen und Geister leibhaftig auf der Erde herumspukten.

起初在几百年前,万圣节在古英格兰对巫师们来说是秋天节。那时人们认为,这一天晚上是一年当中唯一一个女巫和鬼魂真的来到人间到处作祟的夜晚。

Fast jedes Kind weiß, dass Halloween etwas mit Gespenstern, Hexen und Verkleiden zu tun hat, aber kaum jemand hat eine Ahnung, was es mit dem Fest ‚Halloween’ nun wirklich auf sich hat.

几乎每个孩子都知道,万圣节与幽灵,女巫和化装有关,但是几乎没有一个人知道,万圣节这个节日究竟因何而来。

Schon vor über 2000 Jahren feierten die Kelten im alten England (heute sagen wir Großbritannien dazu) zum Ende des Sommers ein großes Fest – damals hieß es noch ‚Samhain’. Der 31. Oktober war bei den Kelten der letzte Tag des Jahres, denn sie hatten einen anderen Kalender als wir heute. Der Sommer wurde mit großen Feuern verabschiedet und gleichzeitig der Winter begrüßt. Die Menschen bedankten sich bei ihrem Sonnengott (mit Namen ‚Samhain’) für die Ernte, die sie in der warmen Jahreszeit eingebracht hatten und gedachten an diesem Tag auch der Seelen der Verstorbenen. Der Sonnengott wurde nun, zu Beginn der dunklen Winterzeit von dem keltischen Gott der Toten, abgelöst.

早在两千多年前,古英格兰(今天的大不列颠)的克勒特人在夏季结束时会进行一场盛大的节日庆祝——那时这个节日叫做“萨温节”。对于克勒特人来说,10月31日是一年的最后一天,因为他们使用的年历与我们今天的不同。人们燃起大火告别夏季,同时欢迎冬季的到来。他们向太阳神(名字为“Samhain”)表示感谢,感谢其赐予的温暖季节带来丰收,同时也在这一天悼念逝者的亡灵。而后太阳神就在阴暗的冬天开始之时被克勒特人的死亡之神所替代。

Die Kelten glaubten fest daran, dass die Seelen der Verstorbenen in der Nacht vom 31. Oktober als Geister auf die Erde zurückkommen, um in ihre Häuser zurückzukehren. Aber was war mit den Geistern und heimatlosen Seelen, die trotz der großen Feuer, die am Wegesrand entfacht wurden, den Weg nicht fanden und verzweifelt umherirrten? Von ihnen war nichts Gutes zu erwarten, sie spukten durch die Nacht, erschreckten friedliche Menschen und trieben ihr Unwesen mit ihnen.

克勒特人坚信,逝者的亡灵在10月31日会变成鬼魂来到人间,回到自己家中。但是那些即使在路边点着旺火却也找不到路而绝望地四处乱走的鬼魂和无家可归的亡灵怎么办呢?别指望他们做什么好事,他们会整晚捣乱作祟,惊吓平和中的人们,到处胡作非为。

Einige Jahrhunderte später, ungefähr 800 Jahre n. Chr., ernannte der Papst den 1. November, also den Tag nach dem 31. Oktober, zum Feiertag ‚Allerheiligen’, an dem der christlichen Märtyrer gedacht wurde. Aus dem Samhain- Fest wurde im Laufe der Zeit ‚das Fest am Vorabend zu Allerheiligen’, und das heißt auf englisch ‚All Hallows’ Evening’ oder abgekürzt ‚Hallows’ E’en’. Inzwischen sagen wir Halloween.

几百年后,大约公元800年的时候,罗马教皇将11月1日,也就是10月31日后一天,作为“万圣”之节,在这一天人们会怀念基督教的烈士。随着时间的推移,英国人根据萨温节就把11月1日的前夜变成了庆祝万圣的节日,而英语里万圣夜称作“All Hallows’ Evening”,简称Hallows’ E’en。渐渐地我们就把万圣节叫做了Halloween。

Obwohl das Samhain-Fest schon so lange her ist, verkleiden sich die Kinder heute noch als gruselige Gestalten, wie Gespenster, Hexen, Zauberer oder Vampire, um Geister abzuschrecken. Und das ist auch gut so – denn wer weiß denn schon genau, ob die Kelten im alten England nicht doch recht hatten......?

虽然萨温节已如此古老,今天的孩子们还会装扮成毛骨悚然的形象,像是幽灵,女巫,男巫或是吸血鬼去吓退鬼魂。不过这样也不错——谁又清楚地知道,古英格兰的克勒特人是不是有道理呢?

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Holloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

【中文翻译

尽管关于万圣节的起源和旧俗有很多不同的看法,但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待万圣节总是有点不同,但是传统的万圣节做的事情都是一样的。

万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教,这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化,根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动,Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。

Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月,是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火,标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。

凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的,所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

We produce waste every day, but our human garbage out after go where? First, the workers put the rubbish landfill, and then fill in the underground, landfills in the high cost, is about 450 yuan per ton to 450 yuan, the money enough for the impoverished mountainous area child support for half a year.

以前,我总是希望下面的垃圾车快点送走,免得下面有一股臭哄哄的味道。今天听了张大爷的教导,让我对垃圾重新有了一番新的认识。我们人类每天都在产生垃圾,但是,我们人类的垃圾扔出来后去哪了呢?先是工人们把垃圾送到垃圾场,然后再填埋在地下,填埋垃圾的费用高昂,大概是每吨450元至600元,这些钱足够让贫困山区的小朋友支撑半年了。再者,如果持续填埋在地下,还会占大量地方,同时会把蚊子引过来。

大家经常会看到公园里有四个垃圾桶,分别是:可回收垃圾、不可回收垃圾、有害垃圾和其它垃圾。可回收垃圾是蓝色的,不可回收垃圾是绿色的,有害垃圾是红色的,其它垃圾是灰色的。

垃圾分类看似是一个简单的工程,但是如果你不注意的话就不是一个简单的工程。但如果你天天要做到那更是一个复杂的工程。正是因为有了它,少年才能学习到它,有了它,这个城市就会变得美丽,有了它,甚至整个国家都会变美丽。

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

Its all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witchs pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying Trick or treat! In the past, children might play a trick on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, childrens cries of Trick or treat! are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloweens popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.
