关于端午节的英语日记带翻译【精品20篇】

端午节快到了，外婆在菜场里买了许多粽叶，打算自己包粽子给我们吃。到了晚上，我跟在外婆后面看外婆忙里忙外。

外婆先把米洗干净，倒上碱水，然后把刚刚洗好的红豆和红枣拿出来，与米一起搅拌。接着外婆把早上洗干净并泡在水里的粽叶拿出来，在中间围了一个圆锥形，把拌匀的米和豆放进去。再把粽叶包成一个菱形，拿出刚刚从棕叶上撒下的细绳绑在粽子上。这样一个漂亮的粽子就做成了。我有模有样地照着外婆的样子做了起来，可是每次都不能成功。没有多少时间，外婆已经做了二十多个了。她把那几个粽子放进高压锅里，放了一些水开始煮。过了半个多小时，从高压锅里冒出股香气扑鼻的味道。

过了一会儿，外婆从锅里拿出了粽子给大家吃。我吃着又香又甜的粽子，心里真高兴。

户户人家的大堂前都放了两束窗蒲水草。大堂里也搁着猪豚子、桂花鱼、雄黄酒和粽子。今天差不多是收菜籽的时节，聪慧的农民早将收菜籽都割来了，放在门前空地晾晒，等烤得翻滚，就去炸菜籽油。屋里屋外都漫溢着艾叶香和浓浓的酒香、粽香，乡间里也漫溢着幸福的气息。

乡间这圼没有大江大湖，所以划龙舟的风俗也延传不下来。但是在汩罗乡间就不同了，那是岳阳最传统的风俗，都是十几条龙舟，在船首的敲鼓，后面的划龙舟。在那儿的老人家听说，龙舟是要偷的木，被发现后，这些人就飞快地逃跑，船在水中才跑得快。在事后，窃主看见那是去做龙舟，就不会追究了。还听说获奖者可以得到“粽子岳阳楼“。

那让人垂涎三尺的粽子就更翘(受欢迎)了。粽叶是要在河畔那儿摘来的，农民穿着草鞋，拿着镰刀，到那满是泥泞的地方摘来。那儿常有蛇、瘶蛤蟆，因为危险，所以粽叶包起来更香，更地道，比那些荷叶，珠叶好多了。采一盆回来，要放在热氺锅里煮，再用清水浸透，剪掉叶头，接下来的做法和《舌尖上的中国》一样。将粽叶上的刺毛抹掉，做成尖稚形，这是最古老的方法。再往里面放自己爱吃的肉、红豆、小米、黒米等，用麻绳捆住挂在椅子上。古老的方法是难延续的，买的粽子各式各样，也不再是这样了。所以我也没有成功过，还有点遗憾。

当然，乡间的人要串门，送祝福。我也和其它孩子一样，爱去外地串门。

乡间的端午，是一轮明月悄悄地送去了我们的梦乡。

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of qu yuan, a patriotic poet qu yuan out a good idea to rich countries qiangming, but not adopted by the king, he was kicked out of the palace. Qu yuan was so angry that he jumped into the miluo river. The local fisherman learned that he rowed a boat to the miluo river to the miluo river. Later, the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi, and the boat was changed to the dragon boat to commemorate qu yuan. Our family is very impressed with qu yuan, so we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. Our family has a really good zongzi -- my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Momma always said: the rice dumplings with reeds are the most fragrant. Therefore, every year, the mother of the Dragon Boat Festival USES the leaves of the reed to make zongzi. Before making zongzi, she prepared herself: boil the leaves of the reeds in the water and wash them separately. When the reed leaves were cold, she began to make zongzi. Her first three leaf, this three leaves into a cone, then put a date first, and then put on inside glutinous rice, middle to clip a few dates, the last thread tied leaves, a rice dumplings wrapped. Her dumplings are fat and big, like the old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings have finished, mom put them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then another three or four hours to make it taste and then eat it! My mothers dumplings are very fragrant, so that when I see the zongzi, I will eat them. So, when eating zongzi, I always eat a lot!

The Dragon Boat Festival besides the need to eat zongzi, also the dragon boat!

I like watching dragon boat RACES the most, and dozens of mariners, with their OARS, struggling to make their way to the drum, beat the drum and beat the drum. "Come on, come on! The outside cheerleaders were enthusiastic, thundering and cheering, and the sailors were forced to row harder. The scene of the dragon boat race was spectacular and enthusiastic.

Eating zongzi and racing dragon boat racing, the two traditional customs jointly knit together a hot and noisy Dragon Boat Festival.

201X月X日 星期X 晴

一年一度的端午节又到了，在这个节日里该吃什么呢?我给大家猜个谜语：两片绿叶把米装，小绳一绑真漂亮。你们答对了，就是粽子!

端午节来临之际，我和妈妈一起包粽子，我包了几个，但是模样难看。这时妈妈过来教我，按照妈妈的方法，我和妈妈一起包完了粽子。

闻着煮好的粽子飘出的香味，我的肚子“咕咕”直叫，我迫不及待地用筷子夹出一个粽子放在碗里，小心翼翼地吹着。终于等到它不烫了，我迅速解开绳子，剥开粽叶，大口大口地吃起来，甜甜的粽子美味极了。吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里不禁美滋滋的。

飘香的粽子，让我过了一个快乐的端午节!

《考拉小巫的英语学习日记》一书中讲诉的是作者从一个英语菜鸟到高阶，从懒孩子到勤孩子、从中国环境到美国家庭的巨大转变，告诉我们即便你不出身名校、不天资聪颖，奋斗和坚持依然可以将你引向成功。这不仅仅是一本英语学习日记，更是一本作者在彷徨、无助、动摇时的人生感悟，是关于奋斗、坚持和梦想的故事，读完此书，让我们热血沸腾，激励着我们去为理想奋斗、拼搏。

考拉小巫的故事就是一个选择和坚持的故事，就像托福名师无老师所说：“人生中常常面临选择，而更常遇到的则是选择过后的迷茫与自我怀疑。就好像进入一间密室，只有从黑暗和碰壁中坚持下来的人，才有机会开启通向光明的大门。”我佩服考拉小巫的勇气，选择之后坚持到底，虽有过彷徨、迷茫、无助，甚至自我怀疑，但那孤注一掷的风格，坚持到底的毅力，生命不止、奋斗不息的精神，帮助她一路披荆斩棘，冲向梦想开花的地方。这样的女子，值得拥有一切美好的事物!

看了考拉小巫的故事，我觉得要想成功，需要有值得你奋斗的梦想，有孤注一掷的勇气和奋斗到底的坚持。翻上书本，我问自己，你的.梦想是什么?你准备好为你的梦想奋斗了吗?你有勇气放弃一切，有勇气面对“密室”中的灰暗和碰壁吗?你有坚持到底奋斗不息的毅力吗?

的确，并不是每个人都能做到这些。每个人都有梦想，但最终实现者确凤毛麟角，因为命运之神总是眷顾那些坚持到最后的人。

或许我做不到像考拉小巫那些拼，那样孤注一掷。但她的生活态度和想法对我来说很有启发。

书中的“傻子哲学”很有意思：为什么傻子能成功，是因为傻子很傻，他不管自己是不是能做成，也不管别人怎么笑话他，也不管遇到多少困难，他只是一个人傻头傻脑地一直做。而聪明人很聪明，他总是会考虑自己目前的目标对不对，会不会有更好的办法，能不能抄捷径省时间。最后，聪明人选了一条路又一条路，每条路都刚走了一点点就又换，所以，他总是在离起点不远的地方徘徊。而傻子却在一条路上一直走，虽然他速度慢，但他一直都在坚持。最后，傻子比聪明人先到达了终点。”其实傻子的哲学不复杂，就两个字“坚持”。

生活中有很多这样的聪明人，这样的人真的很搞笑，事情没做之前，总担心这害怕那，担心会失败，你把时间花在无谓的担心上，根本都还没做，当然不可能成功，有时候我们需要点傻子精神，一根筋到底。

从考拉小巫身上我学到了坚持，更让我感动的是她的拼劲，那股子年轻人的朝气蓬勃，似乎有挥霍不完的青春。而反思我们这一代的年轻人，身上还有多少锐意进取、干劲十足、青春无敌的精气神，渐渐得变得喜欢随大流、甘于平庸安逸生活、不愿冒尖。

做一个像考拉小巫一样勇敢的人，为自己的梦想而拼!

这是书中最让我感动的一幕：十二月里天气越来越冷，楼道里也很冷，但是我每天都把板凳从自习室里搬出来，坐在楼道的走廊里，把电脑架腿上，一边计时连口语题，一边给自己录音。说一道录一道，录完以后认真听，不满意了就重录，每道题都是录到自己完全满意的地步才继续下一题。当时我一直在矫正牙齿，满嘴上下都戴着布满细铁丝的牙套。由于练口语的缘故，嘴唇和舌头总是被无数次划破，一被冷风吹就特别疼，吃饭的时候也很困难，经常饿肚子。

成功无捷径，需要我们在梦想的征程中勇敢、坚持、不顾一切。

今天是一年一度的端午节，家家户户都挂起了各种各样的葫芦挂件，五颜六色的，很是漂亮，看得我眼花缭乱。

其实，今天还是一个特别的日子，那就是——我的生日。

很早我们就起来了，因为我们这里有个风俗习惯——踏青，所以，我也和爸爸妈妈去踏青，我们选择去锦河大峡谷，爸爸开车去，这一路上看到好多人，都是出来踏青的，很多人手里还拿着一把草，我很好奇，便问妈妈：“那是什么草，为什么人人都拿着呢?”妈妈微笑着摸摸我的头说：“儿子，端午节这天把艾蒿带回家，可以驱邪保平安健康的 ，也是一种习俗。”我很疑惑的“哦了一声。

大峡谷离得不是很远，我们很快就到了，进入大峡谷内，首先长长的一条木板路，两侧都是桦树，刚走不远处，就看见了一株名为“水冬瓜"的草，我随口一说：“这是可以吃的水冬瓜。”妈妈笑了笑，对我说：“儿子，你说的也没错，的确能吃，因为它是一种药材。”我吐了一下舌头，继续往前走，我们来到了峡谷的顶峰，我眼前一亮，太美啦!这里的风景简直就是“人间仙境”漫山遍野全是绿油油的树木和花草，下面还有一条清澈的河流，空气也是那么清新，我太喜欢这里啦!

接着，我们去往谷底，好长的一段路啊!好不容易才走到地方，谷底就是清澈的河流，水流很急，我和爸爸下去玩了一会，水很凉，我们便离开啦!

今天的端午节和生日，我过得很开心，很快乐!

五月初五是端午节，是人们为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原的。屈原跳江后，有些渔夫去打捞屈原的真身，有人把粽子扔进江里，为了让鱼虾蛟龙吃饱，不要吃屈原。

端午节 所以在这一天，人们要包粽子吃。粽子的做法很简单：先在糯米上放材料，把糯米做成立体的三角形，再用艾叶包好，蒸上一会，粽子就做好了。

每家都要包粽子，我家也不例外。我把各种东西放在糯米上，妈妈把糯米做成立体三角形，爸爸用艾子叶片包好，最后放在锅里煮。粽子就做好了，闻一闻，香气扑鼻，吃一口，甜而不腻。

这一天，人们还要赛龙舟，就是比赛划龙形的船。可是我只是在电视里看过，没有亲眼看过这么激烈的场面，下次有机会我一定要亲眼去看。

端午节真是一个有趣的传统节日!

端午在农历五月五日，端午又叫端阳节、重五节、天中节、五月节、女儿节、诗人节等20多个。

端午是为了纪念屈原。据说，屈原于五月初五自投汩罗江，死后为蛟龙所困，世人哀之，每于此日投五色丝粽子于水中，以驱蛟龙。又传，屈原投汩罗江后，当地百姓知道此消息后马上划船捞救，一直行至洞庭湖，终不见屈原的尸体。那时，恰逢雨天，湖面上的小舟一起汇集在岸边的亭子旁。当人们得知是打捞贤臣屈大夫时，再次冒雨出动，争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，后来，渐渐发展成赛龙舟。这就是端午吃粽子、赛龙舟的原因。

端午有许多习俗，我映像最深的就是戴香包。香包有用五色丝线缠成的，有用碎布缝成的，内装香料，比如白芷、川芎、芩草、排草、山奈、甘松、高本行等。戴香包很有讲究。老年人为了防病健身，一般喜欢戴梅花、菊花、桃子、苹果、荷花、娃娃骑鱼等形状的，象征着鸟语花香，家庭和睦。小孩喜欢的是飞禽走兽类的，如虎、豹子;猴子上竽、斗鸡赶免等。

因为相传端午是恶日。所以，端午那天，家门口都要挂艾草、菖蒲或石榴。通常将这些东西绑成一束，然后挂在门上。艾草代表招百福，是一种可以治病的药，插在门口可保健康。菖蒲等也各有寓意。

中国的文化真奇妙、丰富啊，吸引了多少外国人关注啊!

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求，人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业，而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问，任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方，可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中，大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是，职业生涯可以提供一种手段，对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分，因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方，我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外，我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它，人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来，职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反，它们可以加强彼此，使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此，它不是对与错之间的选择，但理想和现实之间的一个。

One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to

It is true that summer is hot, very hot. But the wicked summer sun is

nothing to me, for I dont usually go out. What I like to do best during the

long summer vacation is to stay in my own little room and read. I love to read,

but during the school year I could hardly find a free moment for reading.

Endless assignments press down upon me like a mountain. I feel confined and

imprisoned. Once the summer vacation comes, however, I have all the time in the

world to read and read and read. I read everything I want to read. I read to my

hearts content. My room maybe small, and the sun maybe hot, but Im free, Im

happy, Im really living! Oh, how I love summer!
