关于元旦节的英语作文带翻译（精彩20篇）

Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets.

Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs’ barking at midnight, dogs’ chasing people on the street and so on. What’s more, some animals will transmit some diseases.

In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals at pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.

如今，随着人们生活水平的提高，有些人养成了饲养小动物或家畜作为宠物的习惯。一些养小狗或猫作为他们的宠物，而其他人饲养各种鸟类或鱼类作为他们的宠物。甚至还有一些人饲养蛇和其他不寻常的动物作为他们的宠物。

任何人都有相同的意见，饲养动物作为宠物吗?不，有些人反对将动物作为宠物饲养。对他们，动物有他们自己的权利，生活像人类一样自然。另一方面，人们饲养动物作为宠物的方式对环境有负面影响，如狗的叫声在半夜，狗追逐人在街上等。更甚的是，有些动物会传播某些疾病。

在我看来，我不喜欢养宠物。动物有他们自己的权利，过他们喜欢的生活。我们不应该剥夺他们的自然权利。这样，我们将生活在一个和平的世界中，与其他生物和谐相处。

在人生旅途中有太多太多的人值得我们去感谢，例如：养育我们的父母、谆谆教诲的老师、团结友爱的同学……而最值得我去感谢的是我的生身父母。

父母将我带到这个美丽的世界，给我一个无比温暖的家，给了我最无私的爱、陪伴我渡过一个快乐的童年。父母对我的一次次保护使我终身难忘。

小时候我被陷入水沟，母亲不顾一切，立马将我拉了起来。而她的手心却被粗壁磨得血流不止。这次的经历，让我懂得父母的爱是最无私的。

不知不觉已告别欢乐的童年，迈进中学生阶段。父母给了我一次又一次的鼓励，使我在一次次考试中不负父母所望，名列前茅，得到一次又一次的奖励。

春天也来到了我们的校园，我像平常一样，蹦蹦跳跳地跑进了美丽的学校。

进了校门，看到学校里的每一处风景似乎都焕然一新。小草们发出又细又嫩的小芽，似乎正在说：“我要长大，我要长大!”

The Spring Festival is a Chinese festival. It has a long history and splendid culture. And the Spring Festival many small rules superstition is that the man.

Everyone should know the Spring Festival is one of important thing is - is available. You dont look down upon this thing it is to have cultured. Able to use fruit cannot careless, for example, not all fruits are fit to worship ancestors and gods. To choose a good fruit. Such as: apple, go in peace, oranges, kumquat oh, oranges - horse. Like a pear, can not as a tribute because there are some who think the pear and "from" are homophones ghost word. So is not popular. There is a banana -. So some fruit can not be available.

Fruit is only part of the tribute and dumplings as a tribute must put cant alone in pairs. Put the sugar when it as a tribute for hard candy cant fudge. Because such sweet hard enough will not spread.

Able to have the red candle, touch paper, incense, and so on, but the most important thing is that touch paper, touch paper had been pressed to be real money to burn, and the head of the press, which may be felt more sincere.

Whether these are real or fake, but at least be ancestors had relished the reason why there must be it. The little common sense in the hope that the Spring Festival can let more after 80, 90 after they know the Spring Festival in our Chinese mind how important. If no taboo Spring Festival also means there is no so many people pay attention to it. Rules more can reflect the significance of the Spring Festival.

春节是中国人的重大节日。它有着悠久的历史和灿烂的文化底蕴。而春节的许多小规矩小迷信也那么那人探寻。

大家都应该知道春节很重要的一件事情就是——上供。大家可别小看了这件事情这可是有讲究的。例如，上供用的水果不能马虎，不是所有的水果都适合去供奉祖先和神灵的。要选着寓意好的水果。例如：苹果——平平安安，桔子——金桔满堂，橙子——心想事成。像梨，就不可以作为贡品因为有一部分人认为梨和“离”是同音别字。所以不受大家欢迎。还有就是香蕉——焦头烂额。所以有些水果不能上供。

水果只是一部分贡品还有就是饺子作为贡品一定要成双成对的放不能落单。把糖作为贡品上供的时候要放硬糖不能放软糖。因为这样的甜蜜够硬不会散。

上供还要有红烛，火纸，佛香等等，不过最重要的是火纸，火纸要被真钱压过才可以烧，而且要一家之主压，这可能是觉得更加真诚吧。

不管这些是真是假，但至少被老祖宗们津津乐道就一定有它的原因。希望这些春节中的小常识可以让更多的80后，90后们知道春节在我们中国人心目中有多么的举足轻重。如果春节没有任何禁忌那么也就代表没有那么多人关注它。规矩越多越能体现春节的重大意义。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

春节迈着欢快的步伐一步一步的逼近了，我和妈妈也回到了老家。

老家和深圳就是不一样，深圳一点过年的气氛都没有，冷冷清清的，而老家，姨妈家里挂满了腊肉腊鱼和干货，还有我最喜欢吃的兔子呢!

姨妈和妈妈在打扫卫生：先将每一个房间用吸尘器吸一遍，用鸡毛掸子将有些小墙角的蜘蛛网卷调，再用扫把地扫一遍，最后拖一遍。姨妈和妈妈又在准备过年那天接待客人的小吃，用果盘装了一盘水果，又用令一个盘子装了一盘糖果。

Although this tank nothing special, but it is not only to school spring scenery and move feeling, and it is a beautiful scenery, I really like the fountain. The center of the pool, there are a number of aquatic plants. Look, a spirited big carp tail up addicted, the chest, the pieces of fish scales, in the sun a bit, a bit, just like a crystal pearl!

我们的校园又美丽又干净。

特别是学校刚修建不久的景色水池，水又清澈又干净，几条小锦鲤鱼在水里活蹦乱跳的，真可爱。水池小瀑布上面还有一个小型喷水器，一开动水就顺墙面潺潺而流，给人一种非常清新活泼的感觉。水池旁边还用了一些我一时也说不上来的植物装饰，水中还有几朵紫色的小莲花，小鱼儿一会在水上活动，一会又钻到莲花下躲藏人们的眼光。虽然这个水池没什么特别，可是它不但给学校增添春色和动感，而且又是一处好看的景色，我真喜欢这个喷水池。池正中，有许多水生植物。瞧，一条欢蹦乱跳的大鲤鱼翘着尾嗜，挺着胸脯，那一片片鱼鳞，在阳光下忽闪，忽闪，真像一颗晶莹的珍珠哩!水池旁有一个专门管理水池的管理处，以前管理处旁还有一些关于水池的的书买呢，不可惜现在已经搬走了。

?水池旁有一圈专门来装饰水池的鲜花，每天。学生们迎着朝阳到学校，一进大门就能看到这个美丽的这个水池，可见这水池挺受学生们的欢迎，刚建好的时候学生一到学校都会上来参观，即使过了很久，还有学生来参观景色水池。其实他们都是来看那些游动着的生命——鲤鱼的。可是自从鲤鱼死后，就没学生过来看了，其实我也很难过，好端端的小生命一个个就没了。

哦，我想起来了，水池旁边还有两个麒麟头，在它们的嘴里会喷出小水柱，我多么希望快快在水里增加几条有活力的生命啊!这样学校的水池才更有趣，也更给校园增添风光，这样的喷水池也有它无比神奇的色彩哦!

今天是元旦，是新的一年的开始。时间就像一条记忆的长河，匆匆地、悄悄地流过，眨眼间，又迎来了新的一年。“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝”，今天是新一年的开始――元旦。

奶奶要包汤圆，并且拿了一元钱，清洗了好多遍。我很好奇，奇怪的问奶奶：“奶奶，你拿一元钱干什么?”奶奶笑道：“小孙女，你还小，不懂，每到元旦每家每户都要吃汤圆，并且拿一元钱包在里面。谁要是吃到了这平安钱，上天会保佑她在这一年里都平平安安的。”“那我一定要吃到”我高兴的大叫。

我心急如焚，真想看见那热腾腾的汤圆，还有那个幸运的平安钱。不一会儿，奶奶把刚刚煮好的汤圆端了出来，看的爸爸妈妈的口水都流下来了。我第一个跑到桌前，左看右看，还是没看出来那个有钱。最后，我端了一碗我认为有钱的汤圆。爸爸是最后到的，因此，他吃的是最后一碗。

“啊，好硬。”爸爸大叫。

原来那钱在爸爸的碗里，唉!我是第一挑的，没有钱，而爸爸是最后吃人挑完的，他却吃到了那平安钱。这就叫“人算不如天算”啊!

总之，2016年的元旦，我还是很高兴的!
