我的家乡英语作文带翻译小学(经典20篇)

家乡的美表现在两个地方，那就是：景色美和人的心灵美。 The beauty of the hometown is manifested in two places, that is, the beauty of the scenery and the human heart.

其实，美无处不在，只要我们细心观察，美，随处可见。我们的家乡景色很美。她美在河、山、花、地这些我们熟悉地方。河的美表现在她清澈见底，纯净无比;山的美表现在她层峦叠嶂、高低起伏;花的美表现在她万紫千红、出类拔萃;地的美表现在她生机勃勃、生意葱茏。欣赏着眼前这一幕幕美景，我陶醉了，不禁发出感叹：我的家乡真美啊!

我的家乡不仅景色美，这儿的人更美。

当我们爬上八仙岩的时候，我已经累得气喘吁吁，筋疲力尽了。我口渴难耐，心想：如果这时有人为我送来清甜可口的水那该有多好啊!正当我想得入迷的时候，亲切和蔼的声音打断了我的思路：“小朋友，快进来喝口水吧!这儿有水!”“哦，原来是一位白发苍苍、身材瘦小、脸上布满皱纹的老奶奶热情地招呼我们喝水呢!

”我们欣喜若狂，顿时活像一只精力充沛的兔子，连蹦带跳地跑向老奶奶家。我们像进村的强盗一样，一瞬间就把老奶奶家的几壶水喝个精光。看到我们这副模样，老奶奶没有责骂我们，反而热情如初：“没关系，如果还没解渴，我继续烧。”说罢，她拎起泥水壶，踉踉跄跄地去烧水了。望着老奶奶远去的背影，刹那间，泪水模糊了我的双眼：是啊，人的外表不重要，重要的是她的内心啊!此时，我觉得眼前的老奶奶是世界上最美丽的女人!

今天的寻美之旅，真值!

我的家乡安徽省安庆市宿松县历史悠久，物产丰富。这里有可口的美食，有充满趣味的黄梅戏，更有风味独特的习俗。

“百里不同风，千里不同俗。”按老家的规矩，过春节差不多从冬至开始准备年货。

冬至前后人们把家里打扫一番，把东西、家具打理一番、逛逛街买买衣服吃吃东西……

农历腊月二十三是传统的“小年。”这天，人们要把厨房打扫干净，杀鸡宰羊来祭“灶神。”人们穿着新衣服，精心打扮一番来迎接小年。

这一天，人们要吃饺子因为吃饺子代表象征着“喜庆团圆”和“吉祥如意”的意思，吃“拿钱爪”象征“财源滚滚”“招财进宝”之音，吃“鸡翅膀”说明女人很好、很强。吃“鲑鱼”象征“福气又安康”之意……

腊月二十五前后，人们又要打扫卫生，因为过年时“垃圾不能出门”不然会把好运、财气都扫没。二十五家家户户都忙碌起来，把家里布置得大气、热闹。

除夕之夜，我们的院子非常热闹。每个单元门口早就挂上了大红灯笼，贴上了红底金字的大幅对联；院子里摆满了各种鲜花；家家户户的门窗里都飘出 年 夜 饭 的香味；每家每户的门上也都贴上了春联，有的还挂上了大红灯笼；小孩子们穿着新衣服，在院子里尽情的追逐着、嬉闹着，有的在放着各种各样的礼花和鞭炮。

晚上，我们全家坐在一起，客厅的茶几上放着鲜花、水果、点心、瓜子和糖果。 我们全家团团圆圆。我们一边吃着丰盛的 年 夜 饭 ，一边等着看春节晚会。 这时还要说一些祝福语，姐姐也说了许多祝福爸爸、妈妈的话，表示了今后要更加努力学习的决心。

吃完 年 夜 饭 ，我们全家围在一起看春节晚会。爸爸早就把春节晚会的节目单从网上下载打印出来了。我们一边拿着节目单，一边看着电视。今年的春节晚会可精彩了。有歌曲、戏曲、杂技、舞蹈、小品、相声、魔术等40多个节目。尤其是赵本山的《心病》、黄宏的《足疗》、冯巩的《马路情歌》，逗得我们都笑痛了肚子。整个晚会的节目真是一年比一年精彩。

到了晚上十二点，晚会的气氛达到了高潮，门外也响起了此起彼伏的鞭炮声。我们全家都来到楼下的院子里看热闹。院子里的人可多了，大人小孩都在放着鞭炮。那噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，震得我和姐姐早就捂起了耳朵。一束束五颜六色的烟花直冲云天，然后爆炸、散开，真是五彩缤纷，好看极了。院子里到处都是欢声笑语。我和一群小朋友笑啊、跳啊，手掌心都拍红了也不知道。

于是，过年就是在人们嬉笑声中霹雳巴拉走来又霹雳巴拉大笑着走去。

In my mind, the hometown of the four seasons is the most beautiful.

Spring, the weeping willow germination by the river, peach blossom, also the water in the river is flowing quietly. "Quack" to call the frog, birds in the branches sang excitedly. My brother and I just want to skip stone, a fragrance fragrance pubi, aunts, what flowers? We ultimately, oh! It was the white pear flower opened in the yard.

Summer, lush trees, cicadas keep call, home of the "dark" have to put the pink tongue out. Stream of lotus opened, open very fragrant, so gorgeous, like drops of water drops are rolling dew on a lotus leaf, like a broken line pearls, like a fish out of a bubble.

Autumn, fruitful, jujube on jujube cooked, showing a sweet smile; Apple is red, the child to eat later, cheek is red; Persimmon persimmon fruits in the tree, like a red lanterns... Farmer uncle too, pick the fruit with the basket.

In winter, as the snow falling from the sky, at that time, naughty children playing in the snow. Suddenly, the snow more brothers and sisters, snowflakes fall on your clothes, shoes... When you erase the naughty little snowflake, it has turned into a small water droplets.

I love home, love the hometown of the four seasons!

在我的心目中，家乡的四季是最美丽的。

春天，河边的垂柳发芽了，桃树也开花了，小河里的水静静地流淌着。青蛙在“呱呱”地叫，鸟儿们在枝头兴奋地唱着歌。我和哥哥正想打水漂，一阵香味芬芳扑鼻，姨，什么花开了?我们顺藤摸瓜，噢!原来是院子里的雪白的梨花开了。

夏天，树木茂盛，知了叫个不停，家里的“黑黑”不得不把粉红色的舌头伸出来。小河里的荷花开了，开的那么芬芳，那么绚烂，荷叶上的滴滴水珠像正在滚动的露珠，像断了线的珍珠，像鱼儿吐出的泡泡。

秋天，果实累累，枣树上的枣子熟了，露出了甜甜的笑脸;苹果红彤彤的，小孩子吃了以后，脸蛋也红了;柿子树上的柿子熟了，像一火红的灯笼……农民伯伯乐得合不拢嘴，挎着篮子摘果去。

冬天，鹅毛般的大雪从天而降，这时候，调皮的小孩子在雪地里玩耍。忽然，雪的兄弟姐妹多了起来，雪花落到你的衣襟上，鞋上……当你擦掉着调皮的小雪花时，它却变成了小水珠。

我爱家乡，更爱家乡的四季!

我的家乡在内蒙古锡林郭勒盟苏尼特右旗赛汉塔拉镇，“赛汗塔拉”翻译成汉语就是“好平原”的意思，这里还是乌兰牧骑的故乡。这里有蔚蓝的天空，那蓝蓝的天空好像离我们很远很远。这里还有一望无际碧绿的草原，草原上牛羊成群，像天上的白云一样多，似乎数也数不清。

我们这里空气清新，到处可见一栋栋整齐的楼房，马路两旁茂盛的树木，五颜六色的花朵，将我们这里装扮的分外美丽。整洁而宽阔的马路上各种各样的汽车来来往往，还有那熙来攘往的人群。夜晚，霓虹灯闪烁，色彩绚丽，变化万千。

我的家乡还有香甜可口的奶茶，好吃的奶食，还有新鲜的手把肉。

在雨后，我们还可以到大草原上拔沙葱，采蘑菇。每到周末，爸爸妈妈都会带我去草原上玩，采各种各样的野花，捉各种各样的昆虫。在大自然的怀抱中，在绿色的草原上，我自由自在地奔跑，无拘无束地呐喊。那是我最开心最快乐的时光。

这就是我的家乡，我热爱我的家乡!欢迎你们来我的家乡做客，我会双手捧着洁白的哈达等着你们!

我的家乡在海门，海门是一个美丽的地方。每逢农历五月初五，海门可就热闹了。家家户户包粽子，门口插艾条、香芪，并在小孩子们的胸前挂上灌了雄黄的香包，据说这样可以驱邪。

有一年端午节，我看见奶奶在包粽子，便好奇地问：“为什么要包粽子？”奶奶说：“因为今天是端午节。传说在楚国，有一个叫屈原的爱国诗人，因为不愿投敌背叛自己的国家，所以在五月初五投江自杀。老百姓为了不让鱼蛟虾蟹吃掉屈原的尸体，纷纷向河里投用芦叶包裹着的糯米团，渐渐演变成现在的粽子。所以每年的五月初五为了纪念爱国诗人屈原，大家都要吃粽子。”“原来是这样啊！”我不住地点头，“我来帮你一起包吧！”“好啊，等会儿包完了粽子帮我一起打扫房子吧！”奶奶说。就这样，我们把粽子包完开始打扫房子，然后我们一起去看赛龙舟……

那一年的端午节就这样过去了……

Dear Mary,

I am sorry to trouble you, but nobody would come into my mind to help me except you.

You know, I had planned this holiday for several years. A t last, my dream came true. You could imagine how excited I was. My mind was completely occupied with the holiday. I forgot to collect my laundry. I dont know if you can help me collect my laundry. I sent the laundry to the Johns. It is the one down the corner on St. Peters Street. You cant miss it, because the house is painted green-a big green house. I have got two pairs of trousers, three shirts, one T-shirt and a blanket. Call a taxi to send you home. I will pay you back when I am home.

My first stop is London. It is raining. The streets are very clean. How I wish I could have the chance to see the famous London fog. But someone told me that was already the history. One can only read things like that about London in books.

My best wishes to you.

Yours sincerely, Peter Chen

我的老家大泉近几年发生了翻天覆地的变化。以前老家的道路全是土，车一过灰尘便乱扬，更倒霉的是下雨天，道路上全是泥，一不留意就遭殃了。

路边没有树只是一些光秃秃，此时高低错落的房子，一刮风，灰尘乱扬，此时还有很多的塑料带，在空中飞舞，空气质量很差。此刻老家换然一新，以前的土路也铺上了水泥，中间凸起，路两边也栽上了树，这样一下雨，水不会往中间聚集，而是向两边的树坑里流进去，即交了树又不使路中间不渝上水，这不是两全其美？遇到刮风天气也不会有塑料带在空中飞舞，而是被送进了垃圾箱，这是为垃圾准备的，还有路边的房屋，也被修理的平平整整，人们也越来越注意环境卫生，人们也不再往地下吐痰，空气也变得越来越好，人们的生活也变得更加完美早上人们能够听见鸟儿婉转的叫声。道路变得更加顺畅，空气变得更加清新，人们的生活变得更加完美。相信我的家乡会变得更加完美。我爱我的家乡。

I used to pouring away the water directly after I using it. Someday, my

mother asked me to help her wash the clothes, as I was about to pour away the

water, my mother stopped me and she told me that most water can be recycled. It

can be used to water the flower or to wash other things. From then on, I realize

how to save water.

我过去常常在用完水后直接倒掉水。有一天，妈妈叫我帮助她洗衣服，就在我要去倒掉水的时候，妈妈阻止了我，她告诉我说大部分水可以循环利用。那么水可以用来浇花或者洗别的东西。从那时候起，我就意识到如何节约用水。

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert

hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air.

A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos

of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute

draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing

and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I

would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my

ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low

spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so

wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is

music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in

everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the

whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of

village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know

music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to

music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead

and devils.

So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it

throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

我爱中国菜 I Love Chinese Food

Chinese food is famous all around the world. A lot of foreigners speak

highly of the delicious food when they come to this big country. For me， I like

spicy food， so hot pot is my favorite. I can eat what I like and put the food in

the spicy soup. The hotness makes me feel so cool. No matter where I go， Chinese

food is always my favorite.

中国菜闻名全世界，有很多外国人来到这个大国以后都会赞扬美味的食物。对我来说，我喜欢辣的食物，所以火锅是我的最爱。我可以把我喜欢吃的食物放进辣汤里就可以吃到自己喜欢的食物

了，辣味让我觉得太酷了。无论我去哪里，中国菜永远是我的最爱。

Today was the second day of our Hong Kong visit. I was very happy as

yesterday. But I felt tired a lot. I didn’t want to stay at guesthouse, so I

planted to go window-shopping with my parents in Times Square. There were many

kinds of goods, but you could choose the one you liked best easily。Also, there

were many designer-label stores in Times Square, such as

DNKY、MAXMARA、MAX&CO、BOSS and so on. Among others, there was a famous

bookstore called PAGEONE.At last, I bought a beautiful skirt(你好像是女的吧)and some

books。Then I was exhausted but I didn’t care in the slightest(可以换成not at all

)。

今天是我们香港之旅的第二天。我和昨天一样开心，但是我感到有点累了。我不想呆在宾馆里面，所以我打算和我的父母在“时代广场”去逛街。这里有各种各样的商品，但是你可以轻松的找到你最喜欢的。同样，这里面有许多的品牌店在“时代广场”，例如DNKY、MAXMARA、MAX&CO、BOSS等等。最值得一提的是，这里有一家著名的书店叫PAGEONE.。最后我买了一件漂亮的裙子和一些书。我已经筋疲力尽了但是我一点都不在乎。

Dear Sir,

I noticed an ad. In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team. It sounded as if it might be fun so Im writing to say Id like to come along.

About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money. After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc. But I didnt stick to any of them for long. Recently Ive been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round Europe so Ive had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition youre planning. By the way, Im a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.

Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.

Yours,

David Smith

我的家乡没有张家界的奇山秀水，没有黄山奇松异石，没有……但它有着青翠欲滴的竹林。

清晨，当金鸡还未啼鸣的时候，竹林里的竹叶上都残留着许许多多珍珠大小的露珠，晶莹的露珠恰似一个调皮的孩子，躺在竹叶妈妈的怀抱里，享受着温馨。此时，竹林还被一层若影若现的纱雾笼罩着。放眼望去，苍翠的竹，飘渺的雾，构造了一幅美丽的图画。

中午，骄阳烘烤着大地，到处都是行色匆匆的人群，走进竹林，一阵阵凉爽的微风迎面吹来，让人感到神清气爽。阳光透过茂密的竹叶投射到地上，地上立刻显出一个个斑斑点点的小光点，抬头往上看，觉得十分刺眼，原来阳光照在竹叶上，竹叶上都泛这一层耀眼的金光，一圈一圈，让人看的眼花缭乱。微风轻拂，竹子扭动着它那婀娜的身姿，与风儿共舞，舞出一道道优美的弧线。

夕阳西下，劳累了一天的人们，也相约着，来到竹林乘凉，大家搬着小板凳，在竹林中坐下，谈论白天发生的事，小孩子们则来到竹林深处，几个人、几十个人围在一起做游戏、欢快的笑声不时的传出，为这寂静的傍晚增添了几许欢乐的情趣。

这有着茂密之竹的地方，便是我的家乡——龙山。

Nowadays, Hollywood movies dominate the market and many young people take

these superheroes characters as their idols. So some people start to feel

disappointed about the local culture, because they havent seen its essence. As

the world gets globalization, it is in need of building peoples sense of local

cultural heritage.

The preservation of our cultural heritage is the necessary task. The

culture contains the essence of Chinese peoples spirit, which has been tested

by time. When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the

country, so as to enhance the unity and have the desire to make a contribution

to the society. The loss of cultural heritage will destroy a country, which can

be seen in history.

As the young generation faces the cultural shock in the globalization, so

they are easy to deny the local culture, because they know little about it. Thus

school should implant the education of culture and the government has named a

day called Chinese Cultural Heritage Day, in the purpose of advocating the

essence of local culture. When children grow up, they will fight for protecting

the culture.

每年的五月初五是中国的传统节日－端午节。在端午节那天，为了纪念伟大的爱国诗人－屈原，家家户户都要吃粽子。

奶奶一般在端午节的前一天就准备包粽子了。拿出事先淘好的糯米，然后用碧绿的芦叶包扎好，再放到锅里煮，煮时飘出的那股清香味馋得直叫人流口水。家门前还要挂上一束艾草，据说是可以驱赶蚊虫蛇蚁。

很小的时候，就听妈妈讲过端午节的来历。在楚国时期，爱国诗人屈原有着远大的抱负，他写出的改革朝纲，不但没有得到皇帝的认可，反而把他拘禁起来……在无可奈何的情况下，屈原以死抵抗，跳进了汨罗河。屈原的爱国行为感动了当地老百姓，纷纷赶来的老百姓就往汨罗河里投米粒，而米粒太小容易分散，鱼吃不到会去吃屈原的尸体。于是人们想到用芦苇叶把米粒包起来，再用稻草绑住，这样鱼儿就能吃饱，不会去吃屈原的尸体了……

今天，我们仍然以端午节吃粽子来纪念这位忠心的爱国诗人－屈原。

我的家乡是个美丽富饶的地方。一想起我的家乡——福建，就使我心花怒放，心久久不能平静。家乡存储了我天真烂漫的童年。那里的一草一木，一山一石是我最好的朋友。 春天，小溪里的水融化了，那叮叮咚咚的流水声像一首悠悠的小令，非常动听。一群群的鸟儿从南方飞回来了。鸟儿站在树枝上唱着美妙动听的乐曲。燕子在屋檐下建起它们温馨的小屋。花儿竞相开放。家乡的春天就像一幅幅美丽的图画。 夏天，家乡开始热闹起来了。知了在树干上叽叽喳喳的叫着，好像在说：“热死了！热死了！”鱼儿在自由自在的游来游去，快活极了。高大的树长得葱葱茏茏，就像草原上的哨兵一样。溪边，小朋友们在欢快的玩耍，有的在游泳，有的在打水仗，有的在洗衣服。

秋天的天是那么蓝，那么高，田野里一派丰收的景象;果园里，各种各样的水果让人垂涎三尺，农民伯伯怀着喜悦的心情，都在收割呢！动物们正在准备过冬的粮食呢!青蛙正在修筑它那温暖的小窝。大雁排成人字行的队伍向南方飞去。

冬天，家乡下起了霜，花草树木都皮上了一层厚厚的冰。动物们在家舒舒服服地过冬呢！小朋友们被冻得更加来劲了，大家站在河面上欢快的溜着冰，有的甚至吃着在花儿上结的冰块，大家玩得非常开心。

家乡存储了我快乐的时光，给我留下了深刻的印象。家乡的美丽风景给我们带来欢乐。每次想的家乡，我就不禁想起童年在家乡过的快乐时光。这样美丽的家乡，难道不使我去爱它吗？

I went to visit one of our teachers with some of my classmates this

morning. Miss Jones is our English teacher and she likes all the classmates. She

tried so hard to help us to improve our English. We went to her flat and had

lunch there with her. We had a good time.

今天早上我跟同学去看了我们老师。Jones小姐是我们的英语来时。她对每个学生都很好。他花了很大力来帮我们供给我们的英语。我们去了她的公寓，一起吃了午餐。我们过的很开心

我的家乡在山东省博兴县，那是一个美丽的小县城。不过，我家乡最美的还是果园。

一进县城，公路两边中种着既整齐又高大的树木，多么像守卫家乡的卫兵啊!再往前方望去，一片果园展现在眼前。春天，果园里果树上的小芽儿探出头来，给果树穿上了绿色的衣裳。夏天，果树的叶子长得郁郁葱葱，像是给果树穿上了深绿色的衣裳，刚长出的果子像是一条项链，把果树打扮得漂漂亮亮的。秋天，果园里落叶纷纷，落叶又给果树穿上了金黄色的衣裳，果树上结满了各种各样的水果，让人垂涎欲滴，越看越想吃。冬天，果园里雪花飞舞，给果树穿上了银光闪闪的衣裳。

家乡的果园，一年四季多么漂亮啊。

我爱我的家乡。爱她的美、爱她的勤劳、爱她的奉献…… I love my hometown.Love her beauty, love her hard work, love her dedication ...

我的家乡是湖北省天门市。你知道吗?一代宗师，现被人尊称为“茶圣”的陆羽就是我们家乡人。我的家乡还曾是状元之乡呢!这可真是人才济济啊!

我的家乡是一个美丽的地方。沿着弯弯的小路往里走，一路上别提空气有多新鲜了。你只要轻轻一闻，就可闻到一股沁人心脾的花香，让人感受到这朴素的乡间浓味。远远望去，展现在你眼前的是一片密密麻麻的“大树林”。你看春风老师在教小树们唱歌呢!小树学得可认真了：你听，树叶好像是系在树枝上的铃铛，树枝轻轻摇晃，铃铛便会发出悦耳的歌声。向前走，一簇簇粉红色的桃花躺在软绵绵的草坪上，就像给草坪披上了一层粉红色的地毯，真美啊!。在花丛中，一只只花蝴蝶翩翩起舞，互相追逐。简直是一幅美丽的画卷!

我的家乡还有一条可爱的河，她叫东河，人们可喜欢她了。一到夏天，孩子们就到河里嬉戏，大人们就在小河旁的柳树下乘凉，边闲聊，边欣赏河里自由自在的“美人鱼”。东河可真美啊!美得像一幅五彩的画，像一首抒情的诗，像一曲婉转的歌。她洗尽了我们浑身的污垢，冲走了我们不如意的烦恼，冲散了我们嬉戏后的劳累，滋润了我们纯洁的心灵，留下了无限的幸福、欢乐和甜蜜。

我的家乡不仅是美的海洋，她更是勤劳的、是奉献的。

我的家乡是水稻之乡，我们这儿专门生产水稻。当春天到来时，人们就辛勤地播种着，无论风吹雨打，人们都不知疲倦地干着……到了秋天，稻子熟了，满眼的金黄，像给大地铺上了一层金色的地毯。无论男女老少，个个拿着镰刀，戴着草帽，卷起裤脚，热火朝天地干起来。稻浪声、收割声、欢笑声……构成了一曲曲动人的交响乐。大米丰收了，村头村尾到处都是欢声笑语，大家歌颂党的政策好，让人们富裕起来了……人们把丰收的大米奉献给祖国。

走进家乡，展现在人们面前的是一幅美丽的画卷;走进家乡，如同走进一个温馨的港湾。拥抱她如同拥抱我们的母亲。啊!家乡，我爱你!

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
