中国文化与美国文化的不同的英语作文【合集20篇】

美国有源源不断的新事物出现，是基于美国人具有的创新能力。培养创新能力则是从儿童开始。要做到这一点，不需要高深的技巧，只需把握一条：尊重儿童。比尔·盖茨和他的同学们中学时玩的“吃纸”的电脑，是由社区家长捐赠的。比尔·盖茨的第一个公司也只是由两个毛头小伙建立的公司。别人愿意和他打交道，固然有自己商业的需要，但更在于他们尊重有创造能力的人，而不会太注意对方的年龄大小。

美国文化的一个重要特点就是对个性的尊重。他们尊重儿童的权利，平等地对待儿童，其中就包含对儿童兴趣的尊重。了解了美国的文化，就不会对乔布斯在车库创业而又获得风险资金的支持感到惊讶，也不会对家长们“放任”“盖茨们”玩自编的电脑游戏感到不解了。

当时间的沙漏漏下最后一粒沙粒,金子的本色才会如此灿烂;当贝壳的泪痕划过最后一瞬,珍珠的色彩也会如此耀眼.当六年的养分在体内积累,毛竹的生机也会如此蓬勃.

正是由于历史的洗礼,在漫漫的历史长河中,最终诞生了华夏女儿的独一无二的中国传统文化,传承优秀传统文化,是我们每个人的使命.材料中所说的那个歌星的经历,正是由于时代的进步、社会的发展、观念的更新形成的.

传承优秀传统文化,正确对待外来文化.现如今,知道重阳节的人越来越少了,知道感恩节的人越来越多了;知道情人节的人越来越多,可知道七夕节的人越来越少了.对于我们先辈留下来的许多传统节日,我们中的许多人都几乎全都置于脑后了,这难道不是一种崇洋媚外吗?这难道是我们口口声声说到的责任感吗?然而,我们身边其实有许多人在为我们做榜样,他们能坚守自己的信念,鼓励人们学习继承优秀传统文化,著名学者马寅初不就是吗?他积极提倡我们青少年应当多多学习中国的优秀传统文化,虽然世界正在多元化,但是,我们传统的中化文化不能丢!因此,我们是否想过,在不久的将来,中国优秀传统文化是否会被他国文化所取代?这个答案须靠我们用行动来回答.优秀传统文化,是我们继续发展的基石,是我们共同保护,共同继承的使命.

传承优秀传统文化,让我们坚定信念,共创美好未来!忆往昔,若不是司马迁的沥尽心血,怎会有《史记》的鸿篇警后人,若不是李时珍的跋山涉水,怎会有《本草纲目》的福祉遗万年代;若不是曹雪芹的五次易稿,怎会有《石头记》的哀婉催人泪?看今昔,是谁苦心钻研十余载,终使两星成?是谁奋斗十八年,终抱金牌归?是钱学森!是申雪与赵宏博.他们是继承了中华传统文化经典中的坚定,他们是传承了中华传统文化典籍中的不懈.正是由于继承和传扬了中国优秀传统文化和精神,才使得他们能够这般坚定,这般执着.

传承优秀传统文化,我们虽如一根小小的火柴,但仍能点亮一片星空:传承优秀传统文化,我们虽如一片绿叶,但能点缀整个春天;传统优秀传统文化,我们虽若驾一叶扁舟,但仍能惊动一片大海.

传承中华优秀传统文化,是我们生命的支撑,成功的基石.

“长江长城，黄山黄河，在我心中重千斤，无论何时无论何地，心中一样亲”大家听过这首歌吗?去过这样一个地方吗?它是我国抵御外国的防御工程，也是我国重要的文化遗产之一。

是的，没错!它——长城，几千年来一直守护者我们的祖国。长城有21196。18千米，是不是很长呢?是的，没错，它很长。那么长城有多宽呢?长城的宽度在不同的地方是不一样的，平均有5。8米。长城的宽度和长度是不是相差很远呢?

长城始建于春秋战国时期，修建时间长达2000多年。今天所说的“万里长城”多指明代修建的长城，它东起鸭绿江，西至内陆地区。

长城真美丽啊!有一天晚上，我做了一个梦，梦到了长城，我踏在长城的砖块上，一股民族自豪感油然而生!长城是静的，它沉睡了2000多年;长城是动的，它横穿了2000多年的风雨;长城是软的，是芊芊细雨;长城是硬的，是中华民族的脊梁!

我爱长城!我爱它无论风风雨雨都一直守护着我们美丽繁华的祖国!

我们的祖国有丰富多彩的传统文化，为我们的生活增添了不少的乐趣。这些传统文化有：除夕守岁、春节舞龙、舞狮、办满月酒等。这些传统文化之所以能一代一代的传承延续下来，根本原因就是因为它适应各个年代人们的生活和思想的要求。接下来，我就给大家说一说过春节吧！

大家一说起过春节都特别的兴奋，能够穿新衣，戴新帽，但是过春节与吃饺子是密不可分的。饺子的起源非常久远。在我们的北方，除夕之夜，屋里热气腾腾，一家人在一起，切菜的切菜，剁馅的剁馅，和面的和面，有说有笑，热热闹闹，大家都在准备初一早上吃饺子。

在古代的习俗中，饺子一般都在除夕晚上包好，到12点下锅。照古代来说，晚上11点到晚上1点为“子时”，半夜12点正交子时，正好是旧的一年离去，新的一年到来的时候，“交子”的交加上食字旁，正好变成了饺字，所以称为饺子。

春节吃饺子，表示辞旧迎新。在山东，在饺子里面包上铜钱之类的东西，谁吃到硬币，就表示在新的一年里不愁花钱。谁吃到蜜糖，就表示在新的一年里甜蜜、美好。

以上就是我给大家带来的传统文化，你们知道吗？相互学习吧！

[中国传统文化三年级作文

到了西安，你会想到什么呢?当然是钟鼓楼，羊肉馒当然还有兵马俑啦!

今天我就去了兵马俑博物馆。兵马俑都是泥巴，陶片做的吗?当然不是!他们身上原本颜色艳丽，不过因为出土时技术不行，不到一分钟就氧化了实在可惜，但二号坑出现了奇迹;在一只跪将军俑背后留着淡淡的红色，保存很不易!自从出土到今天，没有一个兵马俑神色一模一样，可谓古人的脑洞大开!所有兵能俑的手都呈空心拳式，为什么会这样呢?考古学家推断，兵马俑的手里应该有兵器，而这些兵器是木做的，因为年代久远，已全部腐化了，如果兵器还存在，我们还能一览秦王朝兵器呢!特别的还有兵马俑三号坑，因为这里的兵马俑手里拿着礼仪制度的兵器，所以考古学家推测这应该是指挥部。

那特别小，只有五百二十平方米，在指挥部的正前方还有指挥用的四马一车，给我们呈现了秦王朝完整的`指挥部形象。

秦王朝时，兵马俑能做得这样活灵活现，可想当时的科技，艺术的发达，中国作为千年文明古国，当之无愧!我为我是中华子孙而骄傲!

莫高窟，又称千佛洞，坐落在甘肃省敦煌。

莫高窟历史悠久，规模宏大，上至十六国的前秦天王苻坚，下至今日，共经历了1646年。它有洞窟约735个，壁画约4.5万平方米，泥塑245尊。如此巨作，真是让人叹为观止!

它自身就建立在鸣沙山东麋上，形态非常特别。它拥有一个华丽的入口。正对着它看，入口并非一个洞，而是一座酷似古塔的建筑，红柱百瓦，由大到小共七层，与山崖一般高。它的左右有数不胜数的石窟，蜂窝一样紧密又井井有条地镶嵌在上面。米白色的石崖前有着米白色的通道，像一条龙盘曲在石崖上。

此外，只是从洞外往里看，就能看到洞口各有一尊佛像。更别说洞内了，不计其数。然而不但有佛，还有成片成片五颜六色的绝美壁画。

那为什么洞不建在人流密集、气候适宜的风水宝地，而非要建在这荒无人烟的戈壁沙漠呢?

相传，在前秦宣昭帝苻坚的建元二年的一天夜晚，沙门乐尊云游时经过这里，突然间，光芒万丈，佛光笼罩了整座鸣沙上，成千上万尊金光闪耀的佛像若隐若现。他便认为此地是修身养性的好地方。

总而言之，莫高窟凝聚了千姿百态惟妙惟肖的佛像，更凝聚了华夏民族的智慧，彰显了我国文化的博大精深!

我们的世界有八大奇迹，空中花园、亚历山大港灯塔、太阳神巨像。、宙斯神像……但我最爱的还是我国雄伟的万里长城，它是中国古代人民劳动智慧的象征。

长城东起山海关西到嘉峪关，由东到西整整6700公里。修建长城用了2000年的时间，有20多个国家，一起建造。长城上的每块石块都有现在的一个墙那么厚，长城足足有五米高。长城有上千个敌台上万个峰火台，这么伟大的长城就像一条卧在山脊上的巨龙。长城穿过河北、北京、天津。山西…等21个省，这就是我们雄伟的万里长城。

认识了长城的样子，下面让我们去认识长城的作用。在战国时期，为了抵御北方外族的入侵，当时诸侯国都修筑，这样就很明显，是抵御外敌的一种建筑。秦国统一之后他们就把长城连接起来，这样就成了我们的万里长城，但是我们现在所看到的都明长城，是明代建造。通过了许多代人的努力奋斗，终于形成了现在雄伟壮观的万里长城。

历史上还有一个关于长城的故事，那就是《孟姜女哭长城》，这个故事主要讲了：有位女子，也就是孟姜女，她有位喜欢的人叫范喜良，他被带去修建长城，没过多久在修长城的时候死掉了，孟姜女听了这个故事，就去长城边找他，太伤心就一直在哭，正好这时长城倒了，就有人说是孟姜女哭倒了长城。这就是孟姜女哭长城的故事，但由此也可以看出，修筑长城其实用了很多的人力物力。

这就是我眼中的万里长城，雄伟壮观又充满劳动智慧。

国学是我国的一大文化，国学小名士便是国学的传承。有人可能问我国学到底是什么，以前我也不清楚，是诗？还是词？现在我知道国学并没有标准，琴棋书画诗等等，跟中国有关的，都是国学。

回归国学，就应当理解文字的内涵，就应当渗透进生活细节，传承经典文化中的精华。光靠知识的灌输并非是国学的最终目的，对于教师来说，国学教育的意义应该是渗透进每个孩子生活的细节中，贯穿在做人的道理中。知行统一，不能坐而论道。不要让国学学习仅仅是课堂上的一道风景，而不加深学习，加深印象，国学小名士便是给了我们这样的一个机会来加深印象。“北方有佳人，绝世而独立。”“绝代有佳人，幽居在空谷。”……这些都是国学小名士教给我的。

国学小名士不仅能让你加深印象，还会回想典故和诗句。要知道国学是师古之学，但师古不能泥古，更不是简单的复古。中国传统教育常常以礼节教育为主，在学习国学的过程中应适当取舍。不能一本正经的，按照书里原封不动搬出来也不能给了书里完全不一样，这就是老师的责任。既然我们学的开心，也不能让我们一点也不理解诗句的意思。

因为现在许多人总是弯着腰，低着头玩着手机，所以现在去学习国学古文的人是真的不多了。没有人会去关注我们的祖先传承给我们的文化，而是都去在玩娱乐游戏。就算是学习了国学，真正可以把国学全到理解贯通的人是不多了。

所以，我们要接着传承国学这个无价之宝，让国学这中国的灵魂继续传承下去，让博大精深的文化在我们心里永存！

The lunar new year is a great occasion to the chinese people. it lasts about the first four days of the year,during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. students do not go to school,and shops are closed.

各位游客，大家好!欢迎大家来到历史文明的秦始皇兵马俑参观，希望在我的引导下大家玩得开心。

秦始皇兵马俑陪葬坑，是世界最大的地下军事博物馆。1987年，秦始皇陵及兵马俑坑被联合国教科文组织批准列入《世界遗产名录》，并被誉为”世界八大奇迹”。兵马俑多用陶冶结合的方法制成，先用陶模作出初胎，再覆盖一层细泥进行加工刻划加彩，有的是先烧后接，有的是先接再烧，火候均匀、色泽单纯、硬度很高。俑坑布局合理，结构奇特，在深5米左右的坑底，每隔3米架起一道东西向的承重墙，兵马俑排列在墙间空档的过洞中。秦陵内共有3个兵马俑坑，呈品字形排列。

我们先进入一号兵马俑坑，此坑面积最大，兵马俑数量最多。你们看排在最前面的是将军俑，他们头戴金盔、身披铁甲、手握兵器，每个将军都神态自若，沉着冷静的指挥战争;后面的武士俑个个体型健壮、昂首挺胸、精神抖擞;最后面的是骑兵俑，他们身穿战甲，左手持弓箭，右手拉缰绳，个个威武健壮，他们所骑得陶马，肌肉丰满，毛色鲜亮，两耳竖立，双目圆睁，张鼻嘶鸣，跃跃欲试，和骑兵俑相搭配真可谓兵强马壮了。

不知各位是否注意到兵马俑的表情，你们看这些兵马俑们眉头紧皱，目光锐利，好像在考虑战术，如何打败劲敌;那些兵马俑们仰视天空，仿佛在对天发誓，若为统一中国而战，情愿献出宝贵生命;还有这些兵马俑们，好像在遥望家乡……

秦兵马俑形象的表达了秦始皇嬴政时期，亲自统帅的大军，战无不胜、所向披靡，请大家慢慢感受，谢谢合作!

颐和园，兵马俑……其中我最喜欢的就是故宫了。

北京的故宫是中国明清两代的皇家宫殿，旧称为紫禁城。位于北中轴线的中心，是中国古代宫廷建筑之精华。北京故宫分内外两朝，共占地面积为72万平方米，建筑面积约15万平方米，以三大殿为中心，其余大小宫殿七十多座，房屋9千余间。是世界现存规模最大，保存最为完整的木质结构古建筑之一，北京的故宫是世界五大宫殿之首。

北京故宫是永乐四年(1046年)开始建设的，以南京故宫为蓝本建造的，到永乐十八年(1420年)建成，用时1十四年。故宫的正门叫午门，其平面为凹形，午门后有五座汉白玉公桥通往太和门。东门东华门，西门名西华门，北门名神武门。故宫的四个城角都有角城。

这就是我国的故宫，你喜欢吗?

You see! Its interesting for us Chinese to have the new year.

你想知道我们中国人是怎么过新年的吗？就让我这个爱逞强的孩子来告诉你吧！

过新年的前几天，我们要把房子打扫得干干净净的。再去买新衣服、新裤子，把自己打扮地漂漂亮亮的。再在门上贴上春联、倒“福”，你知道为什么要贴倒“福”吗？我告诉你吧：有些人看到你家门上福贴倒了，就会对你说：“你家的福‘倒’了！”我们就会说：“谢谢！我家的福‘到’了！”

我们过年的时候是吃年夜饭的，年夜饭里要有鱼、芋头、年糕，鱼和芋头象征年年有余，年糕是因为年糕年糕年年高。可北方人跟我们吃的不一样，他们是吃饺子的。吃完年夜饭后，爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶等，他们会给我压岁钱。开始放烟花了，我看着一发发烟花升上天空散开来，可漂亮了。看完烟花后，一家人聚在一起看电视。第二天早上，人们会说：“恭喜！恭喜！”

你瞧！我们中国人过新年是不是挺有趣的呀！

春节俗称“年节”，是中华民族最隆中的传统佳节汉武帝太初元年始，以夏年（农历正月初一为“岁首”（即“年”），年节的日期由此固定下来，延续至今。年节古称“元旦”。

1911年辛亥革命以后，开始采用公历（阳历）计年，遂称公历1月1日为“元旦”，称农历正月初一为“春节”。岁时节日，亦被称为“传统节日”。它们历史悠久、流传面广，具有极大的普及性、群众性、甚至全民性的特点。年节是除旧布新的日子。年节虽定在农历正月初一，但年节的活动却并不止于正月初一这一天。从腊月二十三（或二十四日）小年节起，人们便开始“忙年”：扫房屋、洗头沐浴、准备年节器具等等。

所有这些活动，有一个共同的主题，即“辞旧迎新”。人们以盛大的仪式和热情，迎接新年，迎接春天。

在民间，一直都有一个关于“年”的传说故事。

传说中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。

半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹；户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

春节，守岁放鞭炮贴春联拜年演变

起源：春节和新年的概念，最初的含意来自农业，古时人们把谷的生长周期称为“年”，《说文。禾部》：“年，谷熟也”。|在夏商时代产生了夏历，以月亮圆缺的周期为月，一年划分为十二个月，每月以不见月亮的那天为朔，正月朔日的子时称为岁首，即一年的开始，也叫年，年的名称是从周朝开始的，至了西汉才正式固定下来，一直延续到今天。但古时的正月初一被称为“元旦”，直到中国近代辛亥革命胜利后，南京临时政府为了顺应农时和便于统计，规定在民间使用夏历，在政府机关、厂矿、学校和团体中实行公历，以公历的元月一日为元旦，农历的正月初一称春节。

最后用一个中国传统来结束我的征文：

二十三糖瓜粘，二十四扫房子

二十五做豆腐，二十六割年肉

二十七洗疚疾，二十八贴窗花，

二十九蒸馒头，三十儿晚上熬一宿，

大年初一访亲友，大年初二祭先祖

初三初四逛庙会，十五晚上街上走。

[介绍美国国旗英语作文

为什么美国文化是独特的

American culture is unique because it is nurtured， formed and developed under certain conditions， which are characteristically（特性）American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment， ethnic diversity（多民族） and plural religion， which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more， these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892， frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States， usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise， opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism， self-reliance， and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage（遗产） of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races， nationalities， and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM， that is， White， Anglo Saxon， Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history， people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed， a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism； almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity（基督教） is the dominant religion in American and Protestant （新教）is predominate（主导）。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant， many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence：

Nowadays， we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences（住所） every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule， but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above， we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated， formed and developed by the main three factors， rough environment， ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins， the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon， in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States， points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo， N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years， chicken wings have become a truly all-American food， showing up on dinner tables， at neighborhood bars， and in chain restaurants， pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce， the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping，"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings， which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East， shows how versatile， and yet how easy， it can be in cooking."

With this recipe， Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物，它在晚餐桌上，在邻居酒吧里，在连锁餐饮店里，在比萨店里，甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River（奔河）

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River， designated as a wild river by Title VI， Section 601（25） and 603（44） of ANILCA， preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition， and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion， inaccessible by road， its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska， and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon， was well as significant rainbow trout， arctic char， arctic grayling， and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime， and the livinis easy. For many Americans， this is the season to travel. Why？ Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all， because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break， they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

Throughout their history， Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived， they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later， settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration， Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today， Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses， Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees， and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles （RVs） to camp out in comfort， while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why？ For one thing， its cheaper than traveling abroad， and theres no language problem. But besides that， the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches， mountains， canyons， lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways， railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly"vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations."These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing， skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business， mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live， people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are： people on the move. In America， almost every-body is a tourist sometime.

夏天到了，生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说，这是个旅游的季节，为什么？因为学校放假，因为天气很好，但最重要的是，休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史，美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆，他们一到达就沿着东岸定居，但却不满于长居那地，冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后，移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移，美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天，美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究，美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外，美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤，工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工，人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚，有些则在周末有个经济的小假期，并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店；绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游，以舒适的方式露营；有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游，为什么呢？其中一个原因是，国内旅游比国外旅游便宜，也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外，占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

很多美国假期非常特别，和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内，有愈来愈多「适合全家出游」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢「环保假期」，这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物，并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽，有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行，享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游，不管住在那里，人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样：成为爱迁移的人。在美国，几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。

美式食物：吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture？ Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"？ At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people， American food means hamburgers， hot dogs， fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth，"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America？

Except for Thanksgiving turkey， its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America， they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases， Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza， Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original！

As with any large country， the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest， "the breadbasket of the nation，"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course， one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread， Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips， candy bars， soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast， and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food， or maybe its natural food. In any case， the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗？那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」？乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗？

除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地！

和许多大国一样，美国有数个截然不同的地区，每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调；到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理；走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜；再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品；乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜饮美食家的咖啡，作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物，从炸鸡到炒饭，应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西，美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的；有时是快餐，有时也不见得；它可能是垃圾食物，也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何，它们都是美式的。

[美国独特文化作文及翻译

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

在商场里，在我的笔袋上，在我妈妈的皮包上，我都可以看到别致的装饰品——中国结。

古时候，没有数字，祖先结绳记事，到了唐宋时代，经过了上千年，中国结就出现了，到了明清时代，它就有了自己的含义。你别看它有的很大，但它只用一根线编织而成。中国结有不同的颜色，有红的、绿的、黄的、蓝的……而且，中国结还有不同的形状，我就有一个平行四边形的中国结，叫蝴蝶结。它红红的，很喜庆，我可喜欢它啦！每个中国结还有不同的含义，如我的中国结——蝴蝶结，代表吉祥如意，幸福美满。双鱼结，代表年年有余，平安结则代表年年平安。

中国结，代表着中国人的智慧和才干。我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着吉祥；我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着平安；我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着幸福；我喜欢中国结，因为，它代表着我们美好的祝愿，代表着中国人对未来的希望！

现在，许多人喜欢出国留学。出国留学经常被认为是一个很好的机会，它能使人在旅途中获得光明的未来。我们不仅可以从国外学习不同的文化和知识，出国留学也可以丰富我们的生活。

一枚硬币有两面。同样，不同的人有不同的想法。对出国留学的保守和消极的关注已经逐渐从我们的社会中显现出来。人们开始怀疑出国留学出了什么问题。有几个问题值得我们讨论。

出国留学的不利因素可能影响文化和经济生活。我们中国人如果出国留学，在国外生活，就会经历文化冲击。有些同龄人可能无法适应新的学习和生活环境，这可能与他们的学习环境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艰难的。如果一个人对另一个国家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那个国家学习不会感到高兴。

此外，出国留学可能会给学生造成许多生活费。一些中国学生在学业上很成功，因此在学习中获得奖学金。然而，大多数出国留学的同行都没有获得奖学金。此外，他们不得不远离父母和祖国，应付许多意想不到的困难。例如，医疗保险、日常饮食、衣服、租金和交通运输可以产生大量的生活费用。通常，他们需要在很大程度上依赖父母的海外月供。

五一这天，我和爸爸妈妈来到颐和园.我们进了颐和园的大门，过了大殿，就来到有名的长廊，长廊全长700多米，上面画着五彩的画，有花鸟虫鱼、人物、风景，每一幅画都栩栩如生.漫步其间，使人心旷神怡.

走完长廊，我们来到了万寿山脚下，我抬头望去，一座八角宝塔形的建筑——佛香阁掩映在树丛中，黄色的琉璃瓦在阳光的照射下闪闪发光.

我们顺着鹅卵石铺成的小路来到了昆明湖.昆明湖水面静得像一面镜子，湖水绿得像一块碧玉，湖水清得可以看见水底的沙石，鱼儿在水里欢快地游着.昆明湖上有一座石桥，我们上了石桥，爸爸告诉我，这座桥有十七个桥洞，叫十七孔桥.桥栏杆上有许多石柱，上面雕刻着大小不一，形态各异的小狮子，可有趣了!昆明湖周围栽满了垂柳，柳枝随风飘动，柳絮像无数调皮的小娃娃，一会儿飞到人们的脸上，一会儿沾在衣服上，一会儿钻进脖子里，一会儿藏到脚下，让你抓不着.龙舟、游船在湖面上慢慢地滑过，我和爸爸妈妈上了龙舟到了对岸.

颐和园到处有美丽的景色，让你眼花缭乱，流连忘返.

你去过长城吗?你领略过长城的雄伟吗?我有幸去过长城，因为它是令人骄傲的世界文化遗产，是凝结着我们，祖先的汗水和智慧的建筑。

长城，它像一条巨大的龙一样盘踞在我们中国的土地上;长城，它像一只巨鹰一样，展露着它雄伟的气势;长城，它像一头雄狮一样，屹立在中国几千年内不倒。可见长城时，我心中油然而生了一种说不清道不明的情感，像是在自豪的什么。没错，肯定是自豪，自豪着我们的长城。

远远看去，长城盘踞在青山之上，早晨的白雾让长城有了一丝神秘的感觉，让人忍不住想去揭开它神秘的面纱。我的步伐缓慢了下来，像是不忍心去打扰那安逸的场面。近了又近了，我们渐渐的靠近了长城的脚下，仰望长城，似乎离它的历史又迈出了一大步。

我们行驶于长城之上，从瞭望口向烽火台望去。像是看见了白日里居住在那个独体建筑的士兵正在警觉的巡逻;像是看见了夜晚中毒提建筑不断的漂浮着的烽烟;像是看见了士兵们坚定的脸和挺拔的身体……烽火台又称狼烟台秉夜台，因为敌人多在夜晚攻打长城秉夜台这个名字早已被世人遗忘，可在长城外的孤坟，像是在诉说这个不为人知的秘密。因为长城外的孤坟民间一直流传着这样一个传说：一位倾国倾城的女子，速来受当时男子的欢迎，她刚及笄上门者便可排成一条长龙，她眼光极高，从中没有一个合适的人选。却对一个普通人心中

暗许，几个月后变成婚了，好景不长，战国六年，她丈夫被强行带走，孟姜女生怕丈夫吃不好，便日日去给丈夫送饭。今日后，她丈夫被崩塌的长墙压死了，孟姜女日日来长城边上哭泣，为丈夫守灵。

听了这个故事，我内心感慨不断，而此时阴云密布，不正像故事中孟姜女日日哭泣吗?我一步步走下长城，眼睛却从未离开那烽火台……

颐和园是个美丽的大花园，那里山清水秀，风景如画。
