篇1:感恩节的英文介绍

+ 加入清单

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国,感恩节是一个感谢恩赐,家庭团聚,合家欢宴的日子;是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子;是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节,在今年(2005)则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧:

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者(朝圣者)原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒,他们的家在英国,因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害,他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰,他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由,但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活,他们与伦敦贸易公司协商,由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中,船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒,其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒,而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员(契约奴)。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日,旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的,第二年秋天来临时,原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收,这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信,若没有当地居民的帮助,他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式,它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上,但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时,朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在,几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺,所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜,并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛,自然没有牛奶;而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年,发生了一场严重的旱灾,朝圣者们聚集到一起,举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式,刚好在第二天,一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节,并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节,直到1676年6月,感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日,也是美国人合家欢聚的节日,因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年,著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天,他们遇到了难以想象的困难,处在饥寒交迫之中,冬天过去时,活下来的移民只有50来人。这时,心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品,还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下,移民们终于获得了丰收,在欢庆丰收的日子,按照宗教传统习俗,移民规定了感谢上帝的日子,并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助,邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天,印第安人和移民欢聚一堂,他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮,列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子,虔诚地向上帝表达谢意,然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年,一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期,由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年,林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

Fourth of November every year is Thanksgiving Day on Thursday

(Thanksgiving Day). Thanksgiving Day is a creative USA the people antiquited festival, festival being also an American whole family happy get-together, American mentions Thanksgiving Day therefore always feeling very kind.

The Thanksgiving Day reason needs to trace back to till USA history start. In 1620, the famous "May flower " number boat is fully loaded with the religious persecution puritan 102 people who endures United Kingdom in the homeland extremely getting to America. Winter in 1621 joint of in 1620 and, they have come across difficulty hard to imagine, above being poverty-stricken, past

tense in winter, the immigrant who lives down only has 50 messengers. At this time, good-natured Indian being given to have come an aliment by immigrant , goes out of selfs way to send person to teach them how hunting , maize , Spanish gourd catching fish and cultivating. Under Indian help, immigrants have finally gained good harvest , the immigrant has stipulated the day thanking Gods , have decided to be that the sincerity thanking Indian helps their to observe a festival , invites and in the day celebrating good harvest joyously , according to religious tradition convention.

The day has held a second day with third tripping and falling , race, has sung , has danced to wait to use personal influence. The first Thanksgiving Day are very successful. Among them a lot of the more than 300 years having celebrated way go around, reserves till today.

In advance of what? ’Let’s leave it at that’ is a command, it sounds rather abrupt and ill-mannered to me, again I don’t think this is what you meant. How about ’I would love to join your company and you would not regret giving me this opportunity.’ and just finish with a smile!)

欧洲人比较死板,喜欢拘泥于细节,德国人和英国人在这方面表现得特别突出。美国人则不然,待人处事上表现得灵活随便。几乎每个英国绅士都知道他们应该怎样做才不失绅士风度;而美国人,尽管有关礼仪的书充斥于市,却很少在礼节和习俗上统一起来。除了在上层社交场合,美国的普通民众在社会交往中大多摆脱了种种不利于人们接近的等级性清规戒律。

美国人的这种待人接物态度反映了他们的思想观念。在美国人看来,礼貌规范是由人制订出来的,它们不应该成为限制人的僵硬模式。因此,在美国,没有法庭制订社会礼节,也没有上层阶级强行规定执行这类礼节。各种社会礼节主要按照人们的生性习惯去落实在行动上。

由于美国人在行为举止上较少约束自己,他们在许多方面都表现得很随便。他们说话随便,衣着随便,吃东西随便,对人的态度也随便。不了解他们的人以为美国人放纵粗鲁,不成体统,上,这是美国人的随便习性。反映在英语语言使用上,美国人对它的“为我所用”态度,常地些墨守成规的老派文人痛心疾首;而那些广泛地浒于民间的不规则表达法,更使不少语法学家徒叹无奈。至于语言中含蓄地表现社会等级观念的词语,美国人常常不屑一顾,置之不理。

也可能由于美国人对清规戒律缺乏重视,他们的纪律观念比较淡薄,这常使行政官员和执行纪律的人感到头痛。有一种说法,说是英国人认为遵守规章是种乐趣,而美国人则把强硬要求他遵守某种规定看作是对他的不敬、甚至侮辱。美国党校里,学生纪律松散;美国家庭里,父母管教孩子不严;美国军队里,士兵自由散漫更是远近闻名。

令人惊讶的是,美国的教育还算成功,美国的孩子长大后大多成为好父母、好公民,美国的军队也偶尔能打些胜仗。这种看似矛盾的现象也许可以这样解释:美国人热爱自由,不愿被人强行控制,然而在真正行使自由权利时,他们仍受法律观念约束,有分寸地在自己的权限范围内“自由潇洒”。

事实上,尽管美国人表面上办事满不在乎,不尊重法律,但实际上,美国人是极其崇尚法治的。世界上没有哪一个国家象美国那样下功夫研究法律,也没有哪一个国家的律师象美国那样在政治和日常生活中起如此重要的作用。美国人可以无所顾忌地用粗话批评总统和国会,但对最高法院却以敬畏的精神相待。这也许是美国人在随便与约束上保持平衡、弛张相宜的最好例证。

个人主义与合作精神

说起个人主义,人们很容易想到利欲薰心、唯利是图的资产阶级伦理价值观,尤其是像美国这种典型的资本主义国爱。其实,英文里的个人主义(individualism)在美国有两层意思。第一层是它的积极意义,指的是个人自我独立、自我奋斗、自己掌握自己命运的执著精神。这层意义上的个人主义常与这样的美国人形象相联系:他是一个勇敢坚强的拓荒者,向荒野迁移,与蛮夷作伴,用自己的智慧和力量独辟蹊径,铺设成功之路,他所做的一切充满着创业精神和独特活力。第二层是它的消极意义,指的是个人为了追求自己的利益,置他人利益和公共利益于不顾,疯狂索取,贪得无厌。这层意义上的个人主义常与这样的美国人形象相联系:他是一个自私自利的投机分子,为了满足个人的种种欲望,不择手段、不顾一切地从社会和大自然中攫取有用之物,对社会福利和自然环境冷谈麻木,漠不关心。可以这么讲,个人主义的这两层意思是该词内涵所不可分割的一个整体,如同一枚硬币有其正反两面一样。

从好的角度说,个人主义有利于创业精神的弘扬,它给人以机会,赋予自由,鼓励多样性,从而推动和促进了美国的工业、农业、科技、教育、娱乐和体育的发展。从坏的角度来讲,个人主义的无节制膨胀给大自然造成了很大的破坏,也给社会中的人际关系抹上了一层厚厚的冷霜。许多人在冷酷的个人主义的竞争、挤压下,或生活潦倒、心灰意懒,或人性扭曲、愤世嫉俗。因此,从个人主义的积极、消极两方面因素来看,问题的关键是如何抑恶扬善,而这也是美国文化中始终没有妥善解决的“难结”。

不过,令人值得我味的是,美国人虽然个人主义强盛,但他们也很愿意合作。可以这么讲,除英国之外,西文国家中没有哪个国家象美国人那样愿意为某种共同的目的而自愿联合起来;没有哪个国家私人的联合会有美国那样多和那样卓有成效。

在欧洲大陆,建立一个教会、一所学院、一座医院、一个慈善机关,往往费时费劲,困难重重。但在美国,只要个人或团体有兴趣就可以轻易地建立这类机构。于是,各种各样的纷纷成立――乐施行善的、繁荣商业的组织、影响政治的组织、收集历史资料的组织、规划未来的组织、研究文化的组织、拥有枪支的组织等等,不一而足。几乎社会上的每个人都有自己的组织:学校里的男女孩子,商人和学者,朋友和领居,老移民和新移民,素食者和戒酒者,集邮爱好者,心脏病患者等,统统都有自己的组织。这种现象说明,人们在追求个性发展的同时,仍注重团体组织的建设,以保证社会能有秩序和稳定,使个人利益和集体利益之间达到一定程度的平衡。

标新立异

美国人可能是世界上最热衷于、也善于标新立异的民族。无论是从当年美国建国元勋建立美国联邦制政体来说,还是从美国最早决定政教分离来看;无论是从美国人在科学技术的发明创造来说,还是从症状国人在建筑工艺上的刻意创新来看;也无论是从当代美国青年爱理“朋克”头或阴阳头来说,还是从美国男男女女穿着的千奇百怪的服装来看,美国人处处显露出一种与众不同、别具一格的追求,一种极为自信、我行我素的风格。

从历史上讲,美国人的标新立异精神始于殖民时期。那时,许多政治或宗教上受迫害的欧洲人,尤其是英国人,认为欧洲受王权和神权统治,权贵们终日忙于勾民斗角,互相残杀,造成整个欧洲一直战火不断,民不聊生,生活无望。为了逃避这个腐败世界,这些欧洲人不惜冒着生命危险,远涉重洋,来到了北美这块荒芜之地。他们之所以离乡背井,甘冒危险,重要原因之一就是为了在“新”世界里创建一个有别于、相异于旧世界的社会――所谓的“山巅之城”(a city upon the hill),供世人景仰,让世人仿效。在这样一个社会里,他们要设法使新建立的国家不仅在政府体制和社会结构上与欧洲国家不同,而且还要在思想观念和生活方式上与欧洲国家形成鲜明的对照。

从文化观念上讲,美国人的标新立异与他们的个人主义观念密切相关。我们知道,个信义的主旨是突出个人价值的本质,崇尚个人特性,而要突出个人价值,完成个性塑造,必然要求人们与众不同,标新立异。唯有如此,方可使自己在芸芸众生中鹤立鸡群,独领风骚。由于生活在这种文化氛围下的社会成员人人都追求创新、个个都刻意求胜,美国人对新奇的东西不仅能宽容地接受,而且还常常大加赞赏,褒扬一番。

也许因为标新立异观念已深深扎根于美国文化地壤,所以它反映在美国社会生活中的方方面面。譬如,有的人造了一些奇大无比的轿车,内设厨房、游泳池、电话、电视、客厅等各类设施。也有人别出心裁,拉上自己心爱的人,坐上热气球,待徐徐升空后,才向众人宣布此为婚礼仪式。还有的人更令人叫绝,竟三五成群地爬上电线杆子,互相比赛谁能在电线杆子上坐的时间更长。这类追求新奇性的事例在美国比比皆是,不胜枚举。这恐怕也是“吉尼斯纪录”不断被破、《吉尼斯世界大全》不停出版新版本的主要原因之所在。

破除神秘

世界上的不少民族有浓郁的神秘感,如非洲的一些民族和拉美中的一些民族对大自然、对上苍、对人类自身等事物怀有深厚的神秘感。他们或者对这些东西顶礼膜拜,深信不疑,或者对这些东西敬畏不已,不敢越雷池半步。美国人与这些民族迥然不同,少有诸如此类的神秘感。如果美国人发现某些东西过于神秘,他们往往没法将其破除,使它暴露“庐山真面目”。

举例来说。政治在许多国家往往充满神秘感,国家领导人的确定,党派之间的倾轧较量,重大政策的决定,以及政府机制的动作过程等,对平民百姓来讲是一个永远解不开的迷。然而在美国,政治像一场颇具观赏性的游戏,普通老百姓可以借助报纸、电视等大众传播媒介,观摩政客们互相攻击、互相嘲弄、互相指责等各方面的精彩表演。大至总统竞选、国会听证会,小至学生会与校董会的冲突,人们无不可以从中窥见政治游戏中的权术运用、利益交换和官官相护等事例。只要美国政客们在玩政治游戏时遵守有关规章制度,他们就能够得到作为观众的选民们的认可一样。如果政客们违反有关规则,如尼克松的水门事件、里根的伊朗门事件,那么,他们就要受到有关机构的查询和调查,乃至曝光出丑。所以说,美国的政治因透明度较高而较少有神秘感,普通百姓对政治机制的运作也因此而有相当程度的了解。

还有,美国人的宗教热情很高,但这种对上苍的敬畏并没有阻碍美国人揭开上帝创造的这个世界之迷的勇气和努力。从西部边疆的开发,到外层空间的探索,从海底资源的研究,到大气资源的探索,美国人似乎并不因上帝的万能而被震摄住,而是无所顾忌地大胆试验,勇敢地利用科学知识来解答大自然中的秘密。

美国人破除感的最显著例子表现在他们对人自身的认识上。《圣经》上讲,上帝创造了人。在美国,近95%的人自称相信上帝。但美国人对医生开胸破肚移植心脏、肾脏等“动手动脚”行为非但无异议,反而赞叹不已。更有甚者,美国人竟然违背“上帝造人”之千古常理,胆大妄为地搞起试管婴儿。当然,最令人难以置信的是,美国人的性教育已全面走向“社会化”。性成为油盐酱醋一样人人皆知常识,几千年来人类蒙在性上的神秘感被美国人揭露得一干二净。可见,神秘感在美国鲜有市场。在开放、自由占主导地位的国度里,神秘感之被破除尚在预料之中。只是破除神秘走之过极,使privacy也不能幸免,这总让人觉得有点“那个”。

That is the former Imperial Palace, popularly known as the Forbidden City, from which twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for some 500 years——from1420 to 1911. The Ming Emperor Yong Le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made Beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1406 to 1420. At present, the Palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in China.

Located in the center of Beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. At each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.

The main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the Meridian Gate, the south entrance, to Shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. On either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. Symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six Eastern Palaces and in the northwestern section the six Western Palaces. The Palace area is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. At the rear of the Inner Palace is the Imperial Garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Meridian Gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "Son of the Heaven" and the Palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the Meridian line going right through the Palace. The gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the Five-Phoenix Towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. When the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. When he went to the Ancestral Temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius——benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).

At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the Hall of Supreme Harmony(4), the Hall of Complete Harmony(5), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony(6).

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the Palace complex. It is also Chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. This hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. On such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the Hall that extended all the way to the Meridian gate.

On the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "Golden Throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. The throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. In front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. The dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. The throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. High above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. The utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the Emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. The aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "Son of the Heaven" in awe and reverence.

The Hall of Complete Harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. Here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. It is followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.

Behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. The slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. It is the largest piece of stone carving in the Imperial Palace. Quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of Beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. To provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.

The three halls of the Inner Palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. They are the Palace of Heavenly Purity(7), the Hall of Union(8), and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility(9).

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was once the residence of the Ming emperors and the first two of the Qing emperors. Then the Qing Emperor Yong Zheng moved his residence to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. The promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. After the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.

The Palace of Union was the empresss throne room and the Hall of Earthly Tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. The west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.

The Imperial Garden was laid out during the early Ming dynasty. Hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. In he center of the garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace, a Daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. This type of roof was rare in ancient Chinese architecture. In he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the Hill of the Piled-up Wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. At the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. It is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. It is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.

The six Western Palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. They are kept in their original way for show. The six Eastern Palaces were the residences for them too. But now they serve as special museums: the Museum of Bronze, the Museum of Porcelain and the Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the northeastern-most section of the Inner Palace are the Museum of Traditional Chinese Paintings and the Museum of Jewelry and Treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.

Now the Forbidden City is no longer forbidding, but inviting. A visit to the Palace Museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient China.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

An Unforgettable Experience

As a lyric goes:“ You’ll be old if you don’t pursue something you like insanely.” I didn’t pay much heed on it the first time I saw this lyric. But you’ll never realize the profound meaning until you put it into practice.

Not long ago, I did a crazy , at least as far as I can see, thing. Well, you can guess it. I went to see a vocal concert of my favorite super star---Yan Yalun, who comes from Taiwan province. Although it happened two months ago, the stirring scene still excited me a lot every time I recollected it.

On January 9, 2013, Yalun held a concert at the centre of Kaide Square in Wuhan. I arrived there alone at about 11:20am. Cause the concert would begin at 5:00pm, I had to wait for nearly six hours. But it seemed that every fan who had arrived there gave a cold shoulder to the waiting time, the half of the square had already been occupied by Yalun’s fans. They were taking pictures of the advertisements about Yalun’s concert, buying album and making new friends with each other. About one century passed by, it was the wonder time next. With the thunderous applause breaking out, Yan Yalun presented at the stage. I burst into tears instantly I saw him. Then it was the official procession. He described what the new album tried to tell us and answered some questions asked by the host. Later, it was the key link and also the point why I eagered to come here so much---Yan Yalun’s autograph on my new album. It meant that I could shake hands with him, I had never imagined it. It was my turn to get the autograph. He firstly received my letter written to him by me and shaked my hands. Then, you could never guess it, he touched my head softly! At that moment, I could hear nothing and my brains were all blank so that I even didn’t know how I came back.

To be honest, the excited feeling is out of the expression by words. Only have you walked into the scene can you tell the magic feel. Believe it or not, the idols can give fans power. So , guys, Just do a crazy thing under the cover of your blossom age!
