滑雪运动英文介绍【通用19篇】

车在弯弯曲曲的道路上行驶，我坐在车上激动得东张西望，今天我和爸爸还有爸爸地朋友去恰和吉滑雪运动场滑雪运动。

这是我第一次滑雪运动，穿上笨笨的靴子，踩着细长的滑板，看着那些从高高的雪坡上冲下来的人们，我紧张得心怦怦直跳我先是在平地上慢慢摸索，掌握平衡和滑行技巧。

爸爸和他的朋友聊天，一直说：“肯定会摔跤吧。”又听见旁边站着的两个阿姨说她们朋友的孩子去滑雪运动把腿摔骨折了，我更担心了。

爸爸鼓励我：“那个第一次滑雪运动，表现很好了。”我们一起坐着缆车上到雪坡上，我深呼吸，犹犹豫豫，怀着忐忑不安的心情迈出了第一步，可没想到脚下一滑，我飞了出去，像离弦的箭，像脱缰的野马，又像冲锋陷阵的战士，耳畔是呼呼的风声，我心里默默地想：“从这里摔下去不会死吧？应该不会，会骨折吗？这倒有可能，但我要努力保持平衡不摔倒。”

渐渐地，我滑行的速度慢了下来，我睁开微微闭着的双眼，我长长地舒了一口气，想想那二十多秒时间，我的心里想了不少事情，那二十多秒的旅途，真是新鲜又刺激。

现在回想当时的反应，我当时虽然很怕，但还是勇敢地迈出了第一步，人生也是一样，会遇到大大小小的困难，只要你坚定的第一步，才有可能打败挫折。

这就是我难忘的第一次滑雪运动经历，其中有激动、新奇，也有忐忑、紧张，但更多的是成功后的巨大喜悦。

the mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in october in gregorian calendar.

每年农历八月十五日，是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。

the festival has a long history. in ancient china, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. historical books of the zhou dynasty had had the word "mid-autumn". later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. they enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. by the tang dynasty (618-907), the mid-autumn festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the song dynasty (960-1279). in the ming (1368-1644) and qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of china.

中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，这种习俗就这样传到民间，形成一个传统的活动，一直到了唐代，这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视，中秋节才成为固定的节日，《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”，这个节日盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。

folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: in remote antiquity, there were ten suns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. a hero named hou yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the kunlun mountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. he also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. for this reason, he was respected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. a person named peng meng lurked in them.

相传，远古时候天上有十日同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，力大无穷，他同情受苦的百姓，登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，不少志士慕名前来投师学艺，心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

项目简介

田径运动在我国的发展是经外国传教士于上世纪初带入的，当时只在教会创办的学校之间开展，后来才逐渐扩展到各级国立、私立学校。新中国成立后，田径运动得到迅速普及，技术水平提高很快。1953年起，几乎每年都举行规模较大的全国性的田径运动会，在群众性体育运动广泛开展的基础上，我国田径技术水平和成绩缩短了国际间的差距。1956年，跳高运动员郑凤荣以1.77米打破了当时1.76米的世界纪录，六十年代有10个项目进入了世界前10名。1983年，在上海举行的第五届全会上朱健华以2.38米打破了他自己保持的2.37米的世界纪录。同年，徐永久以45134的成绩创造了女子竞走世界纪录,成为我国第一个在世界比赛中获得冠军的田径运动员。

Parents are the first teachers for our lives, from the moment a child is born, his life was poured parents endless love and blessing. Perhaps, parents cant give us a life of luxury, but they gave the irreplaceable - life in a persons life

Parents for their children to hold up a piece of the sky of love, when you get hurt, cry, sad, sad, you can always come back here, enjoy the love of parents. Thanksgiving parents, even if it is a small thing, can let them feel gratified.

Many people shed tears, not to a lovely boy, also for that one to the deep love, and heartfelt gratitude to the mother.

世上最大的恩情,莫过于父母的养育之恩.值得我们用生命去珍爱,用至诚的心去感激,用切实行动去报恩.

“羊有跪乳之情,鸦有反哺之义”.而人也应有尽孝之念,莫等到欲尽孝而亲不在,终留下人生的一大遗撼,要想将来不后悔莫及,从现在就要从身边的小事去感恩父母,回报父母.回报也不一定非的是物质上的回报,更多的是精神上的、情感上的.就算是远渡重洋、留学海外,我们时刻要怀揣着一颗感恩的心.正如世纪老人巴金所说：“我是春蚕吃的桑叶就要吐丝.”春蚕付出了,也获得了,得到的却是人们的赞美与钦佩.

父母是我们人生的第一任老师,从一个孩子呱呱坠地的那一刻起,他的生命就倾注了父母无尽的爱与祝福.或许,父母不能给我们奢华的生活,但是,他们给予了一个人一生中不可替代的——生命

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空,当你受伤时,哭泣时,忧郁时,难过时,你可以随时回到这里,享受父母的爱.感恩父母,哪怕是一件微不足道的事,都能让他们感到欣慰.我记得央视曾播过的一个公益广告：一个小男孩,吃力的端着一盆水,天真的对妈妈说：“妈妈,洗脚!”就是这样的一部广告时至今日,仍在热播,它的感情动人心腑,不知感染了多少人.很多人为其流泪,不止为了可爱的男孩,也为了那一份至深的爱,和发自内心对母亲的感恩.

同学们,让我们学会感恩父母吧!用一颗感恩的心去对待父母,用一颗真诚的心去与父母交流,不要再认为父母是理所当然帮我们做任何事情的,他们把我们带到这美丽的世界,已经是足够的伟大,且将我们养育成人,不求回报,默默的为我们付出,我们就别再一味地索求他们的付出,学会感恩,怀着一颗感恩的心,去感恩父母吧!

Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar. It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling. It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones. As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.

Customs

1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m. to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui). After haishi, zishi(11p.m. to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.

At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the "fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people will choose to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead.

2. There is an apparent difference in the custom of food taking on Yuandan between the Chinese in the northern and southern regions. The northern Chinese has the habit of taking jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped inside). Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year after tasting the coin. on the other hand, the southern Chinese have the taboo for killing on Yuandan. Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan, so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter. In order to evade misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat. Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue.

3. What is special during the New Year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children. People in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the New Year. Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future. Representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the "year".
