我的城市英语作文带翻译【经典20篇】

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldnt know he had a problem when you saw him walk .

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldnt be able to run as well as the other children. So he didnt know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross—country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didnt tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didnt know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 103—degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldnt run four miles with a 103—degree fever. So he didnt know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth—graders. We never told him he shouldnt expect to make the team. We never told him he couldnt do it. We never told him he couldnt do it...so he didnt know. He just did it.

我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。

邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。

七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼;也许会落空，所以他不知道。

他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样，"很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。

两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了!

The Father and His Son

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。

正月初三，阳光明媚。爸爸带着我们一起去北门广场观看春节文艺演出。

At the beginning of the month three, the sun is bright. Dad took us to the North Gate Square to watch the spring festival performance.

一到那里，演出已经开始了。我们的脚底像装了马达似的跑向拥挤的人群，坐在座位上全神贯注地看了起来。节目可精彩了，有悠扬的歌声，令人陶醉其中，有优美的舞姿，令人赞不绝口，有滑稽有趣的小品，令人捧腹大笑，还有一群群活泼可爱的小朋友表演的惟妙惟肖，台下鼓起了一阵阵热烈的掌声。

As soon as there was there, the performance had begun. The bottom of our feet, like a motor, ran toward the crowds, sitting in their seats and looking at them. The program can be wonderful, with melodious songs, intoxicated with the beautiful dance, full of praise, a funny comedy, hilarious, and small groups of friends lively show vivid, under his warm applause.

时间就像小马车一样“笃笃笃”地开过去，春节文艺演出结束了。我们就去广场的对面玩沙子了，那里有很多小朋友，他们有的用铲子，有的用罐子，还有的用推车，玩得可开心了。

Time is like a pony car "Du Du Du" opened in the past, the spring festival performances ended. We went to the opposite side of the square to play sand. There were many children. Some of them had fun using shovels, some cans and carts.

天色渐渐地暗下来了，我们依依不舍地离开了广场。

It was getting dark down, we left the square to reluctant to part.

Our modern city is too crowded， and to solve the problem， three proposals are put forward. Most people believe that we should fist practise the policy “Late Marriage” and “One Couple， One Child” in order to reduce the birth rate. Secondly， the city government must have a tight control over rural people entering cities to engage themselves in trade or do various physical jobs so as to lessen the pressure on the city caused by the increased population. Finally more and more people suggest that living blocks with shopping centers， schools， hospitals as well as cinemas and theatres round them or even satellite towns should be built in city suburbs or the countryside round the cities. In this way city citizens will be encouraged to move there to live and work. If these three proposals are well carried out， the city population will be greatly reduced.

我们现代城市太拥挤了，要解决这个问题，提出了三点建议。大多数人认为我们应该在政策上“迟婚”和“一对一”，以降低出生率。其次，城市政府必须严格控制农村人口进入城市，从事贸易或从事各种体力劳动，减少人口增长造成的压力。最后，越来越多的人建议，居住在购物中心、学校、医院、电影院、剧院等生活街区，城市郊区或郊区的城市应该建在城市郊区或城市周边的城市。在这个方式中，城市居民将被鼓励在那里生活和工作。如果这三项建议都很好地实施，城市人口将大大减少。

Snowflakes swirl float down from the sky, gentle and soft. I walk alone in the house, quietly enjoying a rare snow brings us happiness.

Its snowing! XueShen seems to be for the left off in winter, tears kept flowing from its eyes. Countless snowflakes in the sky, flying with the wind, and present a variety of colors, colorful, like a rich stone, like a diamond. Close look at it, will see it is white, clean and pure white, white. It is like silk, and flying in the air, and the hexagonal body twisted her beautiful...

White snowflakes gently down on the grass, as if the earth put on a white dress. Snow onto the grass out of their little head, snow children to play, play in... White color in front of my eyes appear, snow-white voice echoed in my ears, the taste of white in my nasal side... As if everything is snow to dye the color, as if the whole world champions in the silences of his white!

雪花纷纷扬扬地从空中飘落下来，轻轻的，柔柔的。我独自漫步在屋外，静静的享受着难得的雪景带给我们的快乐。

真是大雪纷飞啊!雪神好像在为即将离去的冬天送行，泪珠不断的从它的眼中流出来。天空中无数的雪花，随风飘扬着，呈现出各种颜色，五彩缤纷，像宝石，又像钻石。近看它时，会看到它的白，纯洁的白，美妙的白。它像丝绸，在空中尽情的飞舞，尽情的扭动着她美丽的六角形身姿……

雪白的雪花轻轻降落在草地上，好像给大地穿上了一件雪白的盛装。雪下的小草使劲儿地出他们幼小的脑袋，雪上的孩子们尽情的玩耍，嬉戏着……雪白的颜色在我的眼前呈现，雪白的声音在我的耳边回荡，雪白的味道在我的鼻边萦绕……仿佛一切都被雪染了色，仿佛整个世界欧在雪白的静默之中!

Dream is public property, everyone has a dream, there were dreams to struggle the rights. The poor are poor, because there is no struggle for the dream of courage and perseverance; The rich are rich because they fight for a dream. What can dream? Must have different definition in everybodys heart. Some people think that the dream is false; Others think unattainable dream, it really... ; I think: the dream regardless of high and low, regardless of their size, there is no false and true.

I have met all kinds of people in the pursuit of dreams, some of them because of others opposition, sitting there hesitation, some because they cant do, sitting in the depressed; Others because of his dream too far-fetched, therefore, give up your dream. I am sad also very puzzled: "why do they give up their dreams? Yao is hard work can realize their dreams, and look forward to success. But, they dont have to do so, they chose to escape?"

The ancients there is a saying: "there are paying is not necessarily return, but not paid will not return". Whether did finally get the corresponding return, but I believe that: in the stick to dream on the way, there must be a make us unexpected harvest. And, of course, everyone has the value of life in this world, there are some an unrealized dream, chasing for the dream, struggle for the dream. Dream is everyones right to the pursuit of the process is also enjoy the process. To dream into reality at that moment, you will feel the joy and pride.

So, how important it is for a dream. However, in the process of realizing our dreams, dont let the problem by the nose, but toward the dreams, let the dream for your navigation. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to achieve your dreams tend to be yourself. Love spell will win, as long as toward a target unremitting struggle finally will belong to you.

梦想是大家公共财产，每个人都有梦想，都有为梦想而奋斗的权利。穷人之所以穷，是因为没有为梦想而奋斗的勇气与可毅力;富人之所以富，是因为他们为梦想而奋斗拼搏。可梦想到底是什么?想必在每个人心中都有不同的定义。有的人认为梦想是虚假的;有的人则认为梦想高不可攀，它实在……;我认为：梦想不分高低，不分大小，也没有虚假与真实之分。

我曾经见到了各种在追求梦想的人，他们有的因遭到别人的反对，坐在那里犹豫不决，有的因碰到自己无法做的事，坐在那垂头丧气;还有的人因自己的梦想太遥不可及，因此，放弃了自己的梦想。我既难过也很不解：“为什么他们要放弃自己的梦想呢?明明是努力就可以实现自己的梦想，从而走向成功的。但是，他们没有这么做，而是选择了逃避呢?”

古人有句话说：“有付出不一定有回报，但不付出就一定没有回报”。不管最后有没有得到相应的回报，但我相信：在坚守梦想的路途中，一定会有令我们意想不到的收获。当然，每一个人都有生活在这个世界上的价值，都有一些未圆的梦，为梦而追逐，为梦而奋斗。追求梦想是每个人的权利，追求的过程也是享受的过程。到梦想变成现实的那一刻，你会感到无比喜悦，自豪。

由此可见，梦想是多么重要。不过，在实现梦想的过程中，不要被问题牵着鼻子走，而是朝着梦想前进，让梦想为自己导航。有时实现梦想的最大障碍往往是自己。爱拼才会赢，只要朝着一个目标奋斗不懈最后的灿烂将会属于你。

First of all, let me tell you a true event. That is my grandpa with me by boat from yichang to three gorges occurs when one thing.

We all got up that morning, the people on board, is preparing to play water to wash shu. But the faucet for half a day on the boat were down only a few drops of water, one asked, originally is the boat ran out of water! So, we only have stood in long lines, slowly, etc. Although I looked at the ship, the ship under a stream of water, but no one would like to use it. Because the water is so dirty, so HunHuang, who dare to use? Line only slowly, slowly, etc!

Although in the high-speed development of science and technology nowadays, but the impact on our environment. Reduced river pollution, air pollution, the trees, the increasing of the desert... All this is all thanks to the human! Countries while in value, although the world in value, environmental protection, what and how much these things figure up attention? In my opinion, is rare. Although countries in so to speak, but whats the use of words and not of deeds? Did just a few, too! Dont grab from main reason! You see, the Yellow River water is not still contaminated? So the factory does not still pollute the atmosphere? Should grasp, starts from the quality of people, quality grab, but the country and the world to do so? No! Just like to do even when you are done. In the polluted environment is not so?

Animals are extinct, flash floods in explosion, dust storms still exist... It fully shows the environmental pollution! Countries will only go to disaster relief, instead of simply grabbed, will only go to disaster relief, whats the use? Dont all kinds of disaster is still in? We should like lu xun. He had become a is in order to save the Chinese, and he found that it will not solve the fundamental, so he became a writer, to save the people of the spirit. Because this is the fundamental! So, we as the master of the 21st century, you should understand, what is the root of the damage to the environment, from the point to solve it. Work hard -- the 21st century we!

首先，我先给大家讲一个真实的事件。那是我随我的外公从宜昌坐船前往三峡时发生的一件事。

那天早晨，船上的人都起来了，正准备打水洗淑。可是船上的水龙头半天也只下来几滴水，一询问，原来是船上的水用完了!所以，大家只有排着长长的队伍，慢慢的等。我望着船下，船下虽然有着流不尽的江水，但却没有一个人愿意来使用它。因为江水太脏了，是那么的浑黄，又有谁敢去使用呢?只有慢慢的排队，慢慢的等!

如今科技虽然在高速发展，但这影响到了我们的环境。河流污染，大气污染，树木的减少，沙漠的增多……这一切的一切都是拜人类所赐!国家虽然在重视，世界虽然在重视，什么环境保护日，这些事又有多少人影起了注意呢?在我看来，是极少的。国家虽然在这么说，可是光说不做又有什么用呢?做了也只是少数罢了!根本没有从主要原因抓起!你看，黄河的水不是还在被污染吗?工厂不照样还在污染大气吗?抓，就应该从小抓起，从人们的素质，品质抓起，可是国家乃至世界这么做了吗?没有!即使做了也只是做样子罢了。环境不是照样还在被污染吗?

动物还在灭绝，山洪还在爆发，沙尘暴照样存在……这都充分说明了环境还在污染!国家只会去赈灾，而不去根本抓起，只会去赈灾，这又有什么用呢?各种灾难不还是照样在发生吗?我们应该像鲁迅一样。他当初从医是为了拯救中国人，而他发现，这解决不了根本，所以，他当了作家，去拯救人们的精神。因为这就是根本!所以，我们作为21世纪的小主人，就应该明白，什么是破坏环境的根本，从要点去解决它。努力吧――21世纪的我们!

MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的学校生活

When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.

After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.

我六岁的时候，就开始上学了。我第一个上的学校是一所国小。学校里教的课目有许多，诸如国文，算术，史地，画图等等。既然我是一个学生，我就用功读书。我父母深以我为荣。

我在那边读了三年后，就进入初中。我十二岁的时候，就成为一个高中的物理学。我依旧用功读书。除病假外，我永不缺课。人人都把我看作是一个模范生。

“感恩”之心，就是对世间所有人所有事物给予自己的帮助表示感激，铭记在心;“感恩”之心，就是我们每个人生活中不可或缺的阳光雨露，一刻也不能少。无论你是何等的尊贵，或是怎样的看似卑微;无论你生活在何地何处，或是你有着怎样特别的生活经历，只要你胸中常常怀着一颗感恩的心，随之而来的，就必然会不断地涌动着诸如温暖、自信、坚定、善良等等这些美好的处世品格。

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。

In Britain we are often told that people are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside but is this the case worldwide?

Not at all. If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million. And London? London, which was number two, wont even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950, by the way, was about 10 million. And why is this happening? Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in developing countries? The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous.

Its estimated that 26 million people will be living in Mexico City by the year 2000, with Sao Paulo in Brazil not far behind.

Tieguaili first welcomed the recommendation, high-spirited mood he said: "Well you look at me!!" Put the crutches toward the sea, crutches like a boat floating in the water, a torrent somersault, turned upright on crutches.

Han Chung then put his palm-leaf fan thrown into the sea, standing on the top jump.

Subsequently, several other fairy also recount, Chang, old riding a donkey down, marching Lu Tung-pin male and female sword, Xiao Han Xiangzi sitting, riding Xiangu flowers, blue and standing on the green light, obviously drunk stepping jade, are floating up in the sea.

Eight Immortals secure in the surging waves along the drift, which clouds feel different, do not have a new stimulus and atmosphere, we really played with pleasure.

In this case, obviously drunk suddenly points to the right hand, and shouted:

"We see ah! There seat mirage!"

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

Han Xiang said: "We do not really treat shallow sea dragon mirage gas is booed out of gas, a rare century ah!!"

Suddenly, the blue and disappeared from them. We wait and see far and near, while calling to find, but I could not see blue and traces of old Chang guess, he said:

"East China Sea Dragon King might be trouble, he did not welcome us his prowess at sea, the blue and caught underwater to go, we go together to the underwater dignitaries go!"

We came to the Dragon Palace, Dragon King politely request release. Dragon unreasonable, not only refused, but also sent his sons to lead the minor players to kill the Eight Immortals. Eight Immortals had to use magic to carry a weapon, resisting many small, after a fierce battle, two were the Eight Immortals Dragon Prince killed.

A dragon, his two sons were killed the Eight Immortals, really extreme grief, please South China Sea, West Sea, North Sea Dragon King to help. Dragon King ton of bricks, the Eight Immortals also riled. Torrent wine gourd sea water absorbance, and the remaining few will be immortal Tarzan moved over to fling the East China Sea, the East China Sea became an immediate high.

The two sides played incredibly hard, sun and the moon light, the Lao, and Avalokiteshvara Buddha also alarmed, they all came to mediation. The results of mediation is, by the blue and the East China Sea Dragon King sent two Jade, as compensation for killing two Prince Tarzan moved back by Kannon responsible place.

Because of a dispute, the Eight Immortals Jade Emperor was downgraded first-class. Since then, the Eight Immortals no longer afraid to stir up trouble to the outside.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人，他们分别是：铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天，八仙向西王母拜寿回来，腾云驾雾从东海上空经过，只见海上波涛汹涌，白浪滔天，煞是壮观。于是，八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说：“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上，借着它渡过大海，比一比谁更有神通，怎么样？”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎，他兴致昂扬地说：“好啊！大家先看我的！”便把拐杖投向海中，拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面，铁拐李一个筋斗，翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上，跳下去站在上面。

接着，其他几位仙人也各显神通，张果老倒骑着毛驴，吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑，韩湘子坐着萧，何仙姑乘着花篮，蓝采和站在拍板上，曹国舅踩着玉版，都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去，这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同，别有一番新的刺激和情调，大家玩得好不快意。

这时，曹国舅突然用手指向右边，并高声喊道：

“大家看啊！那里有座海市蜃楼！”

大家转头一看，只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起，山上有树木，有楼房，一会儿就升到半空中，慢慢地变成天边的浮云，一转眼，那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说：“我们真是眼福不浅！蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ，百年难得一见啊！”

突然 ，蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望，一边找一边喊，可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹，张果老猜说：

“可能是东海龙王作怪，他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通，把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了，走 我们一起到龙宫要人去！”

大家来到龙宫，婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理，不但不肯，还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器，抵抗虾兵蟹将，经过一场激烈的战斗之后，龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听，自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了，真是悲愤至极，商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶，把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光，其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来，往东海一扔，东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗，日月无光，把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了，他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是，由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版，作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷，八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此，八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

My brother and I nodded. It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has such a

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.
