中秋节英语作文范文初中【合集20篇】

一年一度的中秋节到了，这是个举国欢庆的节日。

晚上我和妈妈一起在姨婆婆家过中秋，她做了一桌子丰盛的晚餐，我们吃得可开心了。

晚饭后，我和妈妈明明叔叔一起在阳台欣赏八月十五的月亮。明明叔叔还一边吟唱着苏东坡的词《水歌调头》“明月几时有，把酒问青天”……看那带着一圈圈金环的月儿终于从山后升起来了!她先是金黄金黄的，徐徐地穿过一绺绺青烟似的白云，向上升着升着。突然，就在一刹那间，月儿的颜色变浅了，变白了!她圆得那么可爱，那么有趣，就像一只银色的玉盘反射出一道道白光。啊!皎洁的月亮，你引起了多少人丰富的想象……嫦娥偷吃仙药，从此在寂寞的广寒宫内;吴刚被罚砍那永远砍不断的桂花树;小玉兔儿，在广寒宫内为嫦娥捣药……我多想去和嫦娥作伴，多想去慰问受苦的吴刚，多想去逗逗那可爱的玉兔啊……

望着那圆月亮，口里吃着香甜的月饼，我又思念故乡的爷爷奶奶和爸爸，这岂不正应了著名诗人李白"举头望明月，低头思故乡”的意境吗?虽然因为种种原因我们不能团圆，但是在我心里深处还是很爱你们，想你们的。

今天，我度过了一个快乐的中秋节。中秋赏月，让我感觉到了家的温馨，同时也让我感受到大自然的无限魅力。

还记得中秋的味道吗?中秋是什么样的味道呢?中秋的味道是甜的，是月饼的甜，是团聚的甜，是各种各样的甜，这才是中秋的味道啊!

又是一个月圆之日，又是一个中秋佳节，又是一个思念的夜晚。

一字雁阵，拉开了金秋的帷幕;云卷云舒，涂鸦出蔚蓝的天穹;葳蕤的白杨，落尽昔日的繁华;淡淡的果香，舒展丰收的画卷。秋如一叶飘落，书写着余韵未尽的诗章。而中秋，便出现在这诗章的华丽尽头。

每逢中秋，家中都会摆上几盒月饼，那淡淡的桂花香夹杂着月饼的甜腻弥漫在空气中造成最熟悉的味道——中秋的味道。

团圆是中秋的味道。哪怕工作再忙再累，哪怕单位离家再远，一时中秋节至，总会忍不住提上一盒月饼在月升时赶回家。或是包装精致的宴会月饼，或是散装成袋的普通月饼，也许味道迥然不同，但那有什么关系呢?重要的是一颗期盼团圆的心，渴望一家人团团圆圆地聚在一起的心愿。这样，即使再腻的月饼，也会腻出幸福团圆的味儿来……

过去的故事，不时欢笑，不时沉默，大概他们又重历了一回少年往事吧。老人则没多大兴趣参与年轻人的阵营中，他们依偎在花树下，安详地笑着，他们为什么而笑呢?感叹又一年月圆的日子到了吗，还是看到子子孙孙如此健康平安而安心呢?总之，他们是笑着的，所以为了什么原因此刻也显得不重要了。如梦如幻的月光下，一家人倒也笑出了温馨的味儿来。

原来，味道竟是这样一种历久弥新的回忆。

20__．9.8星期日 天气：晴 早晨，我刚刚起床，人就异常兴奋。因为今天是八月十五，一年一度的中秋节终于来了。今天一大清早，爸爸妈妈还有我就一起到超市买菜，月饼等食物。下午爸爸妈妈都在厨房里忙着杀鸡，杀鱼，切肉，切菜，忙的真是不亦乐乎。

吃晚饭的时候，我埋头吃饭，简直有点狼吞虎咽似的。不一会儿，我就第一个吃好了饭。我马上去做好了赏月的准备工作。

等啊等，我始终没能揭开月亮神奇的面纱。不禁让我想起了嫦娥奔月的故事，人们是为了纪念嫦娥才将八月十五定为了人们企盼团圆的中秋佳节。还令我想起了一首脍炙人口的名诗《静夜思》:床前明月光，疑是地上霜。举头望明月，低头思故乡。这首诗表现了诗人李白思念家乡的感情。使我不时想起了驻守边疆的战士在中秋节这个日子里不能与家人团聚。

这月亮怎么还不现出真面目，我想一睹书中所说:多么圆，亮，大，美丽的中秋月亮啊！我百思不得其解的去询问家长，原来因为今天的天气原因，没能如我所愿的看到中秋节的月亮，但是我还是十分开心。

中秋节的来历也有人说是当时老百姓们为推翻元朝的暴虐统治把”杀靴子，灭元朝；八月十五家家齐动手”的纸条放进月饼里互相传递！到了八月十五元朝被老百姓们推翻了．也许我们现在吃月饼是为了庆祝胜利的喜悦吧！也有人说中秋节是丰收的季节，是农民们体验享受丰收的`喜悦与高兴吧！

中秋节是快乐的，是团圆的象征，是充满喜悦的象征，让我们共同欢过这个有”意义”的”中秋节！” 吧！

When summer holiday comes, I always go back to my hometown and spend the

time with my grandparents. I like the life there, it is so simple and happy.

Living in the countryside, I feel the peace in my heart. It seems the days

nature. I love everything that the nature brings. The green tree, the colorful

flower, the clean water even the fresh air. I find its beauty.

[我的假期生活初中英语作文

悄悄地，夜拉下了帷幕。今天是中秋佳节，皎洁的月光披撒在人们身上，每个人的脸上都洋溢着喜庆的笑容。

秋风萧瑟，枫叶带来了金秋的消息。花园里弥漫着金秋的味道。银杏老伯拿着扇子扇来了凉爽；蒲公英在空中飘飘扬扬；小草和着秋风欢歌劲舞；桂花，羞涩的吐露着笑容，身上淡雅的香气，飘香十里。果园里，是一片丰收的胜地。看，通红的笑颜，那是苹果大方的展现；梨子们在绿叶之间透露出水嫩的皮肤；大枣迫不及待地打起了灯笼。人们在此时显得更为忙碌。挂红灯笼，吃团圆饭，大家的生活因中秋的到来而忙得不可开交。车水马龙的大街，“滴滴——吧吧”，一串串声音汇成了一直欢快的交响曲。

漆黑的夜空显得寂寥深沉，忽然天空窜上一道道光，刹那间烟花四射，夜，不再单调，烟花渲染了整个城市，勾勒出一条条优美的线条，无垠的天空尽收眼底。彩条给寂静的夜空添加了一份特别的色彩。红的绿的粉色的，一条条彩光，如流星一般在空中划过。霓虹灯在热闹的城市里旋转出欢乐的暖色，大红灯笼一个个高挂于房梁之上，树梢上。西湖的“平湖秋月”无疑是个观赏月亮的好地方。湖面平静，波光闪闪，月亮的光辉泼洒在西湖上，美丽的西子湖畔在月光的抚摸下，睡得如此平静。湖面上，几只零零落落的游船上闪着彩色的光芒，成了西湖不可缺少的风景线。这是一幅多么美的风景水墨画呀！

在这金秋佳节最温暖的还是家了。在月光下，吃着月饼，品着茶，边聊边赏月，在这样的气氛下，我感受到家的温暖与幸福。十五的月亮特别圆特别亮。在这月亮中我浮想联翩，仿佛看到嫦娥仙子抱着玉兔向广寒宫飞去。还有吴刚拿着斧子卖力地砍伐桂树。种种美丽的传说在我脑海浮现。苏轼的《水调歌头》涌出我嘴，不觉得小唱几句：“明月几时有，把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒，起舞弄清影，何似在人间？”这不正是“人月两团圆”的景象吗？

中秋是一个欢乐的日子，我不仅看到了美丽的月亮，吃到香甜的月饼但更多的是我体会到与家人在一起团团圆圆、和和美美、温暖的气息。

今天，我心里十分激动，因为终于迎来了盼望已久的中秋节，可以赏月-、吃月饼，过去每到这一天都给我留下了美好的记忆。

月到中秋分外明、月是故乡明，古代，人们都把月亮看作一种思乡的工具，也有许多描写月亮的诗词，特别是苏轼在《水调歌头》中说道：人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全，由此我又想起中秋节的下午，一家人参观吕梁凤冠山孔子观道处，看到孔子逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜的碑刻，

听爸爸解释时光好象东去的流水，不分白天黑夜，一去不复返的话语，使我深刻领悟到：人生如月、人生如水、人生如梦，转眼就是一年，明年的今天我将走出小学的校门，成为了一名中学生，遥想朝夕相处的同学已经各奔东西，真是感慨万千。面对即将逝去的寸寸光阴，我要时刻珍惜宝贵的学习时间，珍惜同学间兄弟般的友谊，珍惜老师父母般的教诲，尽快懂事明理，长大成人!明年的中秋，不知是何年，但愿人长久，千里共婵娟!

中秋节，农历八月十五，它是欢庆丰收的节日，是与家人团圆的节日，更是寄托美好与希望的节日。记得从上幼儿园起，每到中秋明月夜，我有时在爸爸的肩头上，有时在爷爷的小院里，有时在奶奶的床头边，一边吃着月饼，一边看着天上圆圆的月亮。听着他们讲嫦娥奔月玉兔捣月吴刚伐桂等故事，听着听着就慢慢地进入了甜蜜的梦乡。

今年中秋节的夜晚，五颜六色的烟火像一条条火龙冲上天空，朵朵烟花像绽开的牡丹花，与那明灿的月亮相互映衬，把中秋节的夜空打扮得更加美丽。

小时不识月，呼作白玉盘，中秋的月亮像一面硕大的银镜，像一面巨大的白玉盘，更像一个可以看到远方的望远镜，看着明月浩空，给我带来了无限的愉悦和美的享受，我不禁想起美丽传说中的嫦娥、玉兔、吴刚、桂花树，不知道月亮上寂寞的嫦娥和那坚持不懈砍树的吴刚有没有看到如今人间的变化，看到人间的欢乐，真希望他们早日来人间作客。

中秋节是我国的传统节日之一，与春节、清明节、端午节称为中国汉族的四大传统节日。中秋节这天人们都要吃月饼以示“团圆”。月饼，又叫胡饼、宫饼、月团、丰收饼等，是古代中秋节祭拜月神的供品，后来人们逐渐把中秋赏月与品尝月饼，作为一家团圆的象征。

我的户口所在地是哈尔滨，但我是生于苏州，而且我还在苏州上学，所以我已将苏州作为我的第二故乡了。

还记得我在二年级时过的那个中秋节，特别让我难忘。因为我家的亲人都在遥远的北方，所以我们就邀请了我的好朋友项载轩一家一起过中秋节，因为他也是外乡人，而且他的爸爸妈妈也是我爸妈的好朋友。吃过早饭后我们就去采购了，买了好多好吃的东西。下午我们一家就去了苏州最美的村庄――旺山村找项载轩了，他爸爸在那里开了一个酒楼。我们骑车、玩水、做游戏，特别高兴。晚上我们同项载轩一家还有他爸爸酒店的员工一起去旺山茶博园吃烧烤、吃月饼、赏月，爸爸妈妈和我给爷爷、姑姑、大姨、二姨分别打了电话表示祝福和思念。那天我一直很兴奋，我们直到很晚了才回家。

这就是我家乡的中秋节，我过的最快乐的中秋节!

I remember once upon a time, when I was running 800meters, I felt there seemed to be the impossible mission for me, I wanted to give up, then my teacher told me that I should not think about the 800meters, I should set up 100meters for myself, then I wouldn’t be so tired.

I did as he told me, indeed, every time when I finished the small goal, I was happy, in the end, I finished the running. I learn the lesson that we need to set up the best goal, it means we can make the small goals, which are so easy for us to realize.

Then every time we finish the small goal, we will close to our final destination.

我记得有一次，当我跑800米的时候，我觉得这对于我来说是不可能的任务，我想要放弃，然后我的老师告诉我不应该想着800米，我应该为自己定下100米的目标，这样才不会那么累。我按他说的去做，每次我完成了小目标，我就很开心，最后，我完成了跑步。我学到了东西，我们需要定下最佳的目标，这意味着我们可以定下小目标，对我们来说容易实现。每次我完成了小目标，就会离最终的目的地近了一步。

mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies are to christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot down all but one of the suns. as his reward，the heavenly queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. chang-er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the moon fairy.

the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty，an underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters indicating the name of the **ry and the type of filling used. some **ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of chinese tea，especially jasmine or chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保祝为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。
