美国文化英语作文(优秀20篇)

It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose. Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee. Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?” He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

这似乎是个愚蠢的问题,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都会伸出援助之手。但在中国，这个问题变得棘手。很多新闻报道说有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他们是故意这么做的。通常他们会走到人潮涌动的街头，假装晕倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些来帮助他的人为肇事者，敲诈他们要治疗费。很多人都上当了，由于没有目击者证明他们的清白，他们被迫支付了费用。正因为这些负面新闻，人们害怕去帮助那些需要帮助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困难的老人没有得到及时的帮助。我曾经问我一个朋友：“为什么现在的老人变坏了?如果你在街上看到这样的老人你会帮助吗?”他说：“不是老人变坏了，是坏人变老了。我会先录像让他做一个声明，再决定是否帮助他。”

Yesterday,I went to have a picnic with my old classmates.We dated with each other several days ago.And we were all expecting the days come. At last, the excited day came.

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

暑假旅游第二站——苏州园林拙政园。

苏州是一座历史的文化名城，园林遍布古城内外。有“江南园林甲天下，苏州园林甲江南。”之说。这次苏州行也就是慕名而来的。今天我们来到苏州最大的古典园林——拙政园。姨父告诉我说：“拙政园占地78亩，距今已有500多年历史。”我迫不及待地走进拙政园的方形大门到处观看，哇!果然名不虚传，假山、亭子、小桥流水、柳树、池塘等，这里的美景跟仙境似的。

我们走进园内，看到地上有个与众不同之处，用鹅卵石拼成的花样，非常好看。我和姐姐跟着那些有导游的队伍，听听导游的解说。导游说在园中有一个池塘，池中央有一个小塔，传说就是他镇住了池里的妖怪。园里的长廊就仿佛一条长龙威风凛凛，名震四海。在长廊旁边，有块不规则的大石头名叫“满载而归”，它是镇园之宝。

拙政园真不愧是四大名园之一。

诗以言志，文以载道，歌以咏怀。中华诗词源远流长，博大精深，富含哲思，是广大党员干部的精神宝库。《中国诗词大会》节目自2016年推出至今，走过七个年头，已成长为具有社会影响力、舆论引导力的文化类节目品牌。《2022中国诗词大会》再次以创新的姿态亮相荧屏，获得收视和口碑的双丰收，实现了中华优秀传统文化的创造性转化与创新性发展。

塑诗词文韵之魂，聚时代奋进之力。眼下，春回大地，姹紫嫣红，春意正浓，生机勃勃，令人心旷神怡。迈向实现第二个百年奋斗目标新的赶考路，党员干部不妨来一场“春日诗词大会”，从中汲取先贤智慧和力量，实干争春早、建功新时代。

“等闲识得东风面，万紫千红总是春”，热烈而奔放，绽进取之姿，展初心风采。

“及时当勉励，岁月不待人”，春光无限好，只是来也匆匆去也匆匆。唯有珍惜人生大好时光，不负春光不负韶华，才能拥有人生的春天。年轻干部精力充沛、思维活跃、接受能力强，正处在长本事、长才干的大好时期，一定要珍惜光阴、不负韶华，如饥似渴学习，一刻不停提高。对于新时代的党员干部来说，争春没有四季之分，正所谓春有桃花、夏有荷花、秋有菊花、冬有梅花，每个季节都有花儿绽放。只要想拼搏进取，想干出一番事业，任何时候都可以出发。只要我们把握好、利用好自己的每一分每一秒，不虚度光阴，不蹉跎岁月，勤于学习、刻苦钻研，不断提升自我，始终保持干事创业的浓烈激情，不忘初心、牢记使命、踔厉奋发，沿着自己理性的目标坚实向前迈进，那么就能让自己的人生“四季如春”，让自己脚下无悔、不留遗憾。

“不随夭艳争春色，独守孤贞待岁寒”，慎独而静思，显清廉之态，守纪律底线。

“慎独者，慎其闭居之所为。”意思是说一个人独处的时候，仍然自警自律、光明磊落，仍然能够按照道德原则行事，不做任何有损道德品质的事。争春，并非一拥而上，人云亦云，而是要沉着内敛、清醒理性、独立自主，沿着自己的步调进行，否则就会哗众取宠、华而不实。“讲政治必须严以律己”，要“做到慎独慎初慎微慎友”。党员干部手握人民赋予的权力，更要善于“慎独”，要在独自一人时“三省吾身”，扪心自问：自己这一天是否尽到了为官之责?人民群众对自己是否满意?自身还有哪些问题和不足，离人民群众的要求和期待还有哪些差距?其实，这样的自我“检视”既是一种谦逊姿态，也是一种自净能力。只有这样勇于自我革命，方能不断自我净化、自我提升，才能切实坚定理想信念，始终做到对党绝对老实忠诚，成为廉洁奉公的好干部。

“落红不是无情物，化作春泥更护花”，爱众而亲仁，怀赤子之心，增民生福祉。

“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”，春花凋零，化作泥土，滋养母体，其心当赞。党员干部要始终牢记，自己是人民的公仆，是人民的儿子，服务人民、奉献人民是自己的天职和本分。中国共产党根基在人民、血脉在人民、力量在人民。共产党人必须牢记，为民造福是最大政绩。我们谋划推进工作，一定要坚持全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨，坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，坚持发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享，把好事实事做到群众心坎上。眼下，推进脱贫攻坚成果同乡村振兴有效衔接，实现共同富裕和下一个百年奋斗目标，加快补齐民生短板，解决发展不平衡不充分问题，努力增进民生福祉，依然任重道远。党员干部当争做那朵“落红”，化作造福人民的“春泥”，埋头苦干、真抓实干、一心为民，奋力书写无愧于时代和人民的赶考新答卷。

今天我和妈妈去参观周口店遗址。

我们主要去参观了猿人博物馆。以前我们都是从书本上了解，认识到猿人的生活习性，这一次参观让我大开眼界。

走进博物馆有一个北京猿人头的雕像。在馆内展示的是猿人以前是如何找食物，自卫，烤食物，捕猎，捉鱼，以及制作武器……武器有的是捕鱼枪，斧头，慧眼，木棒捶等……，那个时代男人在外捕猎，女人在家缝衣服。

猿人分为6种，有蓝田人，北京人，金牛山人，马坝人，山顶洞人，柳江人，其中北京人分布在山顶洞附近，北京猿人特别聪明，他们能用石器打猎，用火吓跑动物。

人们还发现了北京猿人的化石，有完整的头骨，下颌骨，牙齿，锁骨，上臂骨，腕骨，股骨，还有头盖骨等，还有好多的人类奥秘等着我们去寻找。

这次参观让我增长了见识，感受到了北京猿人的聪明，不由得我为有这样的祖先而感到自豪。

In my family, there are only three people, my parents and I. because of my

parents’ work, they could only have one child at that time, so I don’t have any

siblings. I felt so lonely when my parents went out for their work. Now the

government changed their policy, people can have the second child. But some

people refuse because they think they can’t afford it. Despite the expense,

there are many advantages to have the second child. For one thing, the only

child can have someone company, so they won’t feel lonely on the process of

growing up. For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share

things together. Learning to share things is a very important lesson for

children. In Chinese tradition, more kids, more better, but I think two are

perfect for the family.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

朋友，当你沉浸在“情人节”的玫瑰花香里的时候，你可想过，在将要到来的“七夕”里，牛郎织女将一路奔波，即将相会在鹊桥上?

朋友，当你头戴红色圣诞帽，挤在小教堂里不亦乐乎的时候，你可记得，重阳那天携带双亲登高远眺，身插茱萸的一幕幕?

朋友，当你操着满口“洋话”庆祝“洋节”的时候，其实，你难道不应该去陪父母去倾听民族古乐的动人琴声?

朋友，在西方洋节的冲击下，你是否还记得，你的肤色就是大地的颜色，你的血液里流着中华民族的文化风俗?

让我们放下手中的杯盏，关掉轰鸣的音响，坐在寂静的明月下静静的思考吧!

如今的社会是个多元化的社会，是各种文化相互碰撞，彼此渗透的社会。闭关相守的时代已经一去不复返，只有了解世界，认识世界，才能傲然与民族之林，但是传统文化又何要丢弃?

在我国五千多年的历史文化长廊中，已经沉淀了令世界所有人所惊叹的无数瑰宝——文字、礼仪、节日。仅他们就如同天上奔腾的清流，又像森林间孕育的灿烂的珍宝灿烂夺目，博大精深。

仅看中国节日文化就是一曲令人回味无穷的民乐，是一杯品不透的茶水。新春佳节，合家团圆;清明节，缅怀逝者;中秋之夜，千里共婵娟;端午之夜，龙舟尽发，祭奠古人忠烈。可以说，每一个佳节都承载着动人的历史故事，寄托着华夏儿女对未来的美好憧憬和祝福。欢度传统佳节，既是沐浴于清泉中，倾听古代贤德之人在耳边吟唱，享受民族风俗，又是置身于文化的海洋，浴心于壮阔波澜之中，顿感今朝人生美丽幸福无比。简而言之，佳节既能感受瑰丽多彩的文化魅力，又是联系血脉骨肉之情的纽带。

一个民族有一个民族的节日，一个民族有一个民族的情怀。深远流长的民族文化必定是每个民族的骄傲。长江黄河孕育了华夏儿女的勤劳勇敢，以及对故乡的眷恋。欢度传统节日，就是把心结坚守多年，让精神流传久远。即使你漂泊异乡，身处困境，也能勇于奋起，重返故里。春江花月夜，二泉映月，古曲声声曾让西方震动;中秋团圆，七夕庙会，曾让世人感怀。我们要坚守共同的财富，担起肩上的责任，让中国传统节日的神韵代代流传!

亲爱的朋友，当你流连于庆祝洋节的霓虹灯下时，可别忘了，你应该重返故里，坚守故里，因为那里有属于自己的一缕节日的阳光!

Food between China and Western countries are totally different styles. China has 5000 years history. We probably spend half of time on food. Chinese people choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food. For example they only eat fresh fish.

Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniques for cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food is so popular in the world. Western country like English or American, they don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sells stored materials. Western people would also prefer fast food like burgers and chips.

They are unhealthy to human body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desert and chocolate. They can make very good cake and chocolate. They are very sweet but it’s sort of food which make you become fat quickly.

中国有很多著名的文化遗产，如杭州西湖，北京故宫，苏州园林等这些文化遗产都颇负盛名，但我最想去的莫过于万里长城了，接下来我们一起去游览万里长城吧。

长城的历史悠久，在明朝时期就完成了修筑，长城东西南北交错着，绵延与我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上，它好似一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过一望无际的大草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫大海。

万里长城作为防御工程，主要有烽火台，关隘，城墙三个部分组成。我最感兴趣的还数关隘，关隘有关口的正方形城墙、城门组成，其中，在城墙的外檐上筑有瞭望和射击的垛口，内外檐墙多用砖头、条石等包砌，内填黄土、碎石。

万里长城有着艺术、文化的价值。万里长城身上蕴藏着中华民族2000多年光辉灿烂的文化，除了它的建筑布局之外还有民间文学，戏剧等艺术。

古往今来，有许许多多戍边战士、文人墨客、帝王将相为万里长城，留下了永垂不朽的篇章。

关于长城还有一个传说故事，让我们一起看看吧：在古老的岁月，黑小子认老虎为娘，在老山神的指点下，他历经千辛万苦，得到了宝物，在危急时刻，黑小子挺身而出，用自己的身体填充长城的缺口，使长城绵延万里。

万里长城象征着中华民族坚强不屈的精神，这种精神激励我们中华民族永远前进。他之所以能成为文化遗产，就是因为它是夜空中最闪亮的那颗星星。
