用英语说中国的食物（20篇）

DragonBoatFestival, often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well, most notably Korea.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating Qus body. They also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day", due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown.

Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

A Bite of China, a mouth-watering late-night documentary television series featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears.

Given its subject matter and time slot, A Bite of China was initially considered a "weak player" on TV. Surprisingly, the documentary became popular immediately after airing, and has made viewers go beyond thinking about delicacies.

"Man is what he eats," said Ludwig Feuerbach. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. "The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China!" a viewer said.

There are many many foods we can eat, such as apple, banana, pear, carrot, onion, orange, potato and many others. My father likes to eat very thing, expect it is not be able to eat. My mother likes to eat vegetables and fruits, she usually eat some meat. I like to eat meat, and fruits, too, but I do not like to eat vegetables, and apple is favorite food.

It is very tasty and has many things, which our body need; they also can clean our teeth. Some of them are red, some of them are green. I like to eat the red ones, because they look nicer than the green ones. Apples are very useful, someone say apple can make people more beautiful and strong. I do not think apples can make us more beautiful and strong, but I believe someone who always eats apples will be more health than someone who does not like to eat apples will not be very strong!

有非常多的食物我们可以食用，像苹果，香蕉，梨子，胡萝卜，洋葱，桔子，马铃薯等等。我爸爸喜欢吃一切能吃的东西。我妈妈喜欢吃蔬菜和水果，她有时也会吃点肉。我也喜欢吃肉，吃水果，不过我不喜欢吃蔬菜。苹果是我的最爱。它味道非常好而且有着许多我们身体需要的营养，同时可以清洁我们的牙齿。有些苹果是红色的，有些是绿色的，我喜欢吃红色的，因为它看起来比绿色的好吃些。苹果是非常有用的，有些人说多吃苹果能使人美丽强壮，不过我并不同意这种说法。但我相信经常吃苹果的人会比那些不喜欢吃苹果的人健康些。

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

在南方，最受喜爱和具代表性的食物是用甜糯米捏成的年糕，另一道受欢迎的美食是用芦苇包上糯米作成的粽子。

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.

在北方，馒头和小甜饺是首选

The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

这种时候准备巨量的食品是味了象征家庭的丰饶，富有。

Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

书法是中国文化的精粹，除了满足日常书写外，它已经上升成为一门特别的高等艺术。他兴旺于中华大地数千年而不衰。商业气息浓重的店面装饰一些具有古色古香、文化色彩的书法作品就会平添几分高雅。书法作品也常常装饰客厅，书房和卧室。作为一种艺术，书法的书写是很讲究的。汉字写在吸水性很强的宣纸上，然后再装裱起来挂上墙壁。书法作品多半是居室主人所喜爱的一首诗词或是一句格言;如果这是他自己所作，那就更能显示他的志趣和才华了。

In 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Li Xiaopeng and his teammates were outstanding, winning gold in the prestigious mens team event, a first for Chinas gymnasts. Li Xiaopeng also won an inpidual gold medal in the parallel bars.

However, due to a severe foot injury, Lis performance in 2004 Athens Olympic Games was unsatisfying. China finished 5th in the mens team final and Li only got a bronze in parallel bars after he had been unbeaten since 2000 in major competitions. Li Xiaopeng was tortured by a long-time ankle injury and eventually had an operation in 2005.

In 2008, after suffering through yet another injury, this time in his toe, he came back to compete in the Chinese Nationals and took gold in parallel bars in two World Cups, thus surpassing Li Ning in the number of world titles.

If Chinese men gymnastics can regain mens team event? If Li Xiaopeng will win his second personal Olympic gold medals? I hope so!

在2000年悉尼奥运会，李小鹏和他的队友们是如此优秀，在著名的男子团体赛金牌，为中国体操运动员第一名。李小鹏还获得了个人金牌的平行杆。

在2008年，通过又一次伤病的痛苦后，这一次在他的脚趾，他就回到竞争的中国公民把金子在双杠两届世界杯，从而超越李宁在世界冠军的数量。

如果中国男子体操能恢复男子的队事件？如果李小鹏将赢得他的第二个人奥运会金牌？我希望如此！

Chinese, is a long civilization; China, is a country with a population of one billion and three hundred million; Chinese, once there are hundreds of millions of poor population eat enough to eat; China, is a weak being bullied!

Due to the decline of country, for many years, Chinese suppressed by foreigners ridiculed as the "sick man of East asia". It caused our anger. Our ancestors after more than 100 years of waging struggle, finally made Chinese in Chinese under the leadership of the Communist Party, the sleeping lion rise up from a nightmare, stand proudly roaring. The thirty years after the reform and opening up, in China under the leadership of the Communist Party, we found the correct road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics; these thirty years, we make two hundred million people out of poverty, the realization of food and clothing, the whole society has entered a well-off stage; in the thirty years, the development speed of China is unprecedented; the thirty years we, the national strength has greatly increased, no one said China is "sick man of East Asia", no one any insult us; this thirty years, we make all attempts to lure and force Chinese go astray, limit the development China dream "bankruptcy" since then, Chinese strong!

China changed from a weak country to become a person who despised the coveted power.

In October 16, 1964, China successfully exploded the first atomic bomb in the western region. This is a major achievement in Chinas national defense construction. In April 1970, Chinese first man-made earth satellite Dongfanghong launch success. This is an epoch-making event in the history of Chinas spaceflight. In October 1969, China built the first underground railway - the Beijing subway, which brought convenience to peoples lives. In February 15, 1985, the Antarctic Antarctic expedition team China built Great Wall Railway Station in georgia. The establishment of the Antarctic scientific expedition has enabled Chinese scientists to contribute to the protection and peaceful use of the Antarctic. In February 1998, Beijing established the first high-tech agricultural base in China. It changed for thousands of years, people have to rely on agriculture on the traditional concept of planting and breeding. In October 15, 2003, the Shenzhou five manned spacecraft launched by ourselves was launched successfully, sending our astronaut Yang Liwei into space and returning to the ground safely on the 16 th. The first manned space flight in China has achieved a successful success and realized the flying dream of the Chinese nation. The successful launch of "Shenzhou five" has broken the situation that a few countries monopolize the space technology in the world, and help the human beings to make peaceful use of space resources and so on.

The clothes that people wear in the past are monotonous and have a single style. Now the clothes, the color and the style are colorful. People can choose their favorite clothes according to their own personality and preferences. In the past, it was often a few generations to live in a house, and it was very simple. Now its spacious and the room is more elaborate. Are these examples not enough to explain the changes in China?

Ah! China, Im proud of you! I want to use my "grass inch heart" to repay your "apartments"! I want to make your glory!

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China You should write at least120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air， the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc.

To my view， stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What’s more， the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people’s mind. If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better， we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Eating No-nos

Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

New Year is coming, everybody happily preparing for New Year. This time, every family hung red lanterns, my house is no exception. In the New Year everyone talking and laughing there to buy clothes, some through the door to someones home, and eat in.

When night falls, street by street lamps are lit up, just then, I quickly ran downstairs, holding all kinds of fireworks, so I hurriedly set fire to, see back fire burning fireworks, like a rocket fly into the sky, fireworks in the sky, suddenly blown away, heaven left a colourful word mark, suddenly, my eyes filled with light.

新年到了，大家兴高采烈地做迎新年的准备。这时间，家家户户挂满了火红的灯笼，我家也不例外。在新年里大家说说笑笑，有的去买衣服，有的去别人家闯门，还有的在家里吃饭。

当夜幕降临的时候，街道旁的路灯都不约而同的亮了起来，就在这时候，我飞快的跑下楼去，手里拿着各种各样的烟花炮竹，于是，我连忙点起火来，只见背火熊熊燃烧的烟花，像火箭一样向天空飞去，天上的烟花，突然间被炸开了，天上留下了五颜六色的道痕，突然，我的眼睛里充满了光明。

然后我就融入了欢乐的人群当中，我忽然看到，人们在高兴地做游戏，脸上露出了开心的笑容。连我也不由自主地走了进去。我们互相讲笑话，玩游戏，放鞭炮，猜字谜等。接着，我碰到了同学，我说：“新年好!”她也说：新年好!然后我们就互相拜访。过后，我就听到了震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，那声音热烈而持久。在声音里我看到人们大声欢呼，喊叫，我着急地离开了。

闻见家里的饭香味，我就顺着香气跑回了家里，吃上香喷喷的饺子，保证你去了会大饱口福。吃完饭，我穿上了新衣服去逛街，街上的人那是人山人海啊!我差一点就摔倒了!不光这个，街上的东西还应有尽有，物美价廉。人们沉浸在欢声笑语之中，夜深了，寒意在逼近，人们都不愿意离去，还在那里尽情地欢庆，期盼新的一年到来。
