中国文化与美国文化的不同的英语作文优秀20篇

每一年的大年初一是春节，俗称“过新年”，是我们国家最重要、最隆重的节日。关于春节的来历，还有一个动听的传说呢！

传说，从前有一个叫”年”的怪兽，它经常到村子里危害人类，吃牛和羊。所以，人们一心想除掉它。可是，无论人们用什么办法，都无法赶走“年”。最终，一个小孩无意之中点燃了竹子，发出噼里啪啦的声音，“年”被吓跑了。人们都很高兴。后来，人们为了纪念这个高兴的日子，就在每一年的这一天放鞭炮，每家每户张灯结彩。以后，又逐渐演变成了“春节”这个节日。

春节前，大家都忙得不亦乐乎。打扫卫生，买菜，买礼物，买食品等，到处热闹极了！大年三十，也叫除夕。每家每户都贴上了春联，贴上了“福”字。有的人心灵手巧，把自己剪的窗花贴在窗户上，像降落的雪花。还有的人把灯笼挂在大门上，张灯结彩，很好看。我家也不例外，老爸和爷爷在贴春联，舅舅在挂灯笼。我在贴“倒福”。不一会儿，家里就焕然一新，显得喜气洋洋。

除夕夜晚，我们一家人围坐在一起，有说有笑地吃着团年饭。吃完饭后，当然不能错过那一年一度的春节晚会。我最爱的是风趣幽默的小品和相声，常常使我笑得前俯后仰。“当！当！”新年的钟声敲响了，大人忙着放鞭炮，响声震耳欲聋；我们小朋友忙着放花炮，把夜空打扮得五彩缤纷、千姿百态。

大年初一的早上，我们穿着新衣服开开心心地去给长辈拜年。回来时，我口袋里的红包都装不下啦！

春节真是一个热闹，喜气洋洋的节日，我期待下一个春节赶快来临！

贴春联

春联也叫门对、春贴、对联、对子、桃符等，它工整、对偶、精巧的文字抒发了人们美好的愿望，是我国特有的文学形式。每逢春节，无论城市还是农村，家家户户都要精选一幅大红春联贴于门上，为节日增加喜庆气氛。这一习俗起于宋代，在明代开始盛行，流传至今。 一些人家还要在屋门、墙壁、门楣上贴上大大小小的“福”字。春节贴“福”字，是我国由来已久的风俗。“福”字指福气、福运，寄托了人们对幸福生活的向往，对美好未来的祝愿。有的人干脆将“福”字倒过来贴，表示“幸福已到”“福气已到”。

贴窗花挂年画

窗花即剪纸和年画一样都是我国古老的民间艺术。年画给千家万户平添了许多兴旺欢乐的喜庆气氛。年画寄托着他们对未来的希望。

在民间人们还喜欢在窗户上贴上各种剪纸，因它大多是贴在窗户上的，所以也被称其为“窗花”。窗花表达了美好愿望，千百年来深受人们的喜爱。

除夕

大年三十，年的大幕拉开了，我们就是年的主角。在这一天穿新衣、戴新帽、吃团圆饭、放鞭炮„„

吃过晚饭，全家人一起包饺子看春节联欢晚会。新年的钟声敲响了，四面八方的鞭炮声此起彼伏，不绝于耳。短信拜年已经是现代人不可或缺的一种祝福方式了。

除夕夜还有守岁的习俗，古时守岁有两种含义：年长者守岁为“辞旧岁”，有珍爱光阴的意思;年轻人守岁，是为延长父母寿命。

中国传统节日有很多；春节。元宵节。中秋节。端午节。重阳节。清明节。七夕节。

我感兴趣的传统节日中最喜欢的是春节，因为它是中国民间最隆重的传统节日。在夏历正月初一，又叫阴历年，又称为“过年”和“新年”。每年过年，街上挂满了红红的灯笼，彩旗飘飘。商场是人山人海，家家户户贴对联，可热闹了。每个小朋友都可以拿利是，小朋友还可以穿上漂亮的新衣服，大人个个喜气洋洋。爸爸给我买了许多礼花和鞭炮，到了晚上，我就拿出礼花下楼和小朋友一起放，我们玩得非常高兴，到了晚会开始，我才恋恋不舍地回家，与家人一起开开心心的吃水果看晚会，精彩的表演把我们逗得哈哈大笑，心想：要是天天都过年该多好啊！

我还喜欢过“重阳节”，农历9月9日，有一首重阳节的古诗是李白创作的。独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。这首诗写得非常好。又是中国的一个古老的传统佳节——重阳节。重阳节，又有称为“老人节”，重阳这一天，人们赏菊花，佩带茱萸，携酒登山，畅游欢愉。这一天，我和爸爸妈妈准备了一份礼物去看望爷爷奶奶，我心中非常开心，因为我明白尊老爱幼是我们中华的传统美德。

“元宵节”也让我难忘。每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日元宵节，这一天我们也放了许多烟花，还吃了汤圆。一家团团圆圆，那时的我心中充满无比的幸福和欢乐。中国的传统节日真是丰富多彩，它是中国的节日。

这些传统节日同样给我们带来了欢乐和幸福，所以我们要记住这些美好的节日，并永远继承下去。

Today early in the morning, li hong would visit to San Francisco. Among them, li hong is the most impressive is the Intel museum.

Just a arrived in a blizzard wafts of the science museum, threshold before those incredible illusion, now all become a reality in my eyes, most especially, I saw "anatomy" internal computer, reminds people of multifarious, the winding river maze.

中国是一个具有五千多年历史的文明古国，中国的传统文化源远流长。

传统文化如一缕轻风，轻抚我们的脸颊，让我们不得不对它微笑；传统文化像一个故事，向我们招着双手，让我们不得不去阅读；传统文化似一杯清茶，清香诱惑着我们，让我们不得不细细品尝。是啊，传统文化就是这样，只是保持着原来的姿态，就能够让我们如此着迷，激起我们的好奇心，使我们在不知不觉中就已经去了解它，想要把它理解透，让它永存心中。

现如今，随着科技的发展，高新产品的入侵，我们的生活比起民主主义革命时期，已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。人民的生活水平也提高了许多。有人说：当今世界都已发展起来了，国与国之间的交流也越来越频繁，而我们中国应放弃传统思想，不要一成不变的守着原来的，多过过西方的节日，比如情人节、圣诞节等，应该跟着时尚的步伐走。也有人说：现在科技这么发达，不需要再用手写汉字，直接聊微信、发QQ、打电话得了，还不用写信那么麻烦，很快就能够收到回信。还有人说：我们现在住的都是高楼大厦，不愁吃不愁穿的，一出门就能买到东西，不用像以前那样要去很久才能回来。所以我们不用发扬“艰苦奋斗，勤俭节约，努力创新”的精神，我们应该注重现实，好好享受就行了。

事实恍若如此。

不过如今的发展是靠什么来的？

据报道，曾在重庆出现了一群具有“棒棒精神”的人群，他们用自己的身体担负雇主的信任。有一位“棒棒”由于肩负重担，与自己的雇主走散了，这位“棒棒”最后又回到原点等待雇主回来，此时正值初秋，天空又飘着蒙蒙细雨，凉风飕飕，时间一分一分地过去，直到天降夜幕，这位棒棒终于等到雇主回来寻找。而这位“棒棒”俨然已似一只落汤鸡，直打哆嗦。雇主只是抱着试一试的态度回来寻找，而当得知“棒棒”为了等候自己，已是半天的等待，生怕雇主找不到一直没有挪动位置。

秋风中“棒棒”的等待，已然站成一种精神——“棒棒精神”！信任与坚守，朴实与奉献。这不就是中国传统文化的体现么？时间流逝，精神长存，这就是中国的魂，传统文化的精髓，才有了上下五千年流淌的文明历史。所以，作为中学生的我们，应该学习祖国的传统文化，提高对传统文化的认识，让传统文化永驻心间！

[中国传统文化在我心中作文

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year。 It means "holy evening，" and it comes every October 31， the evening before All Saints Day。 However， it is not really a church holiday， it is a holiday for children mainly。

Every autumn， when the vegetables are ready to eat， children pick large orange pumpkins。 Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside。 It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin！ These lights are called jack—o—lanterns， which means "Jack of the lantern"。

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween。 Some children paint their faces to look like monsters。 Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house。 Every time they come to a new house， they say，"Trick or treat！ Money or eat！" The grown—ups put treat—money or candy in their bags。

Not only children， but most grown—ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them。 This bring them the satisfaction of being young。

中华武术是属于中国的传统文化之一，它可以强身健体，锻炼意志、培养品德，提高人们的整体素质。

最先接触武术是在20XX年漯河电视台会展中心举办春节联欢会上，一群少林寺的僧人表演的节目。只见他们有的前空翻，有的后空翻，有的舞枪，有的耍剑……最引人注目的是四个僧手持长矛，把一个高僧挑起来，然后高僧腾空而起，用脚一踢，把四根长矛踢成八段，真是武艺超群!

从此我就喜欢上了武术，暑假里，我报了一个武术班，教练教我们练武术，先从基本练起，又练了五步拳、综合拳等套路，一开始练的时候很辛苦，我不太会，还好我有一个小伙在那练武，他很耐心的教我，并且练的时候很辛苦，我浑身酸疼，但我克服了种种困难，认真学，认真练，终于掌握了一些基本功夫，通过练武，我变得勇敢坚强，虚惊好学，勇于进取。

中国的传统文化――武术，你真棒!

It is quite common for parents to beat their children,because they think eating is a good way to make children learn and behave well.One of my neighbors made a very strict demand on his son and scolded him bitterly or smacked(稍带特定味道) him whenever he was lazy or disobedient(违抗命令的).To justify(辩解) what he did,he said,” spare the rod and ruin the child.”

Actually beating is a violent way of treating children.It does more harm and causes more hurt than good to children’s physical and psychological health.However,beating children is common occurrence(出现) in our life.Many children become disable because their parents hit them too hard.Some lost their hearing and some became lame(跛脚的).Some children develop an internal(内在的) hatred(憎恨) for their parents and protest(抗议) by running away from home.Others may become so fearful of their parents that they tremble(发抖) at the sight of their angry parents.A mother,for example,even went so far as to beat her son to death because she was not satisfied with his study.Likewise(同样地),it is not unusual that the child murdered(凶杀) his parents because of the extreme contradiction(矛盾) between them.How can children learn and grow healthily under such circumstance(环境)?

Quite often parents will be torn by pangs(剧痛) of regret(懊悔) and remorse(自责) after they have beaten their children.They feel very sad in the rest of their lives.But it is already too late.How can they bring their handicapped(有生理缺陷的) child back to healthy one?How can they relieve(减轻) pains in their children’s heart so easily?We can say beating hurts both children and parents.It is absolutely a bad way to make children learn and behave well.

Exactly speaking,children are also human beings.They have self-respect and should be respected.

坐游船来到颐和园的昆明湖，导游领我们游览了长廊、十七孔桥和排云殿三个景点。

长廊果然很长，是一条五颜六色的画廊，廊间的每根枋梁上都画着不同的彩画，每一幅彩画都有着神奇的魔力，让我们穿越时空，仿佛回到了古代。

到了十七孔桥，弟弟妹妹先开问了。导游笑着介绍，“十七孔桥是颐和园内最大的石桥。桥由17个孔组成，长150米，桥上石雕极其精美，每个桥栏的望柱上都雕有神态各异的狮子，大大小小共544个，没有两个狮子是完全一样的。至于为什么要修17个孔，那是因为不管从哪一边数过去最中间的桥洞肯定是第九个，象征着皇家的九五之尊。”“哦，原来是这样啊。”大家恍然大悟：玩赏处处皆学问啊!

在排云殿里，我们左瞧右看，觉得不大不小的排云殿很有气势。“排云殿建在石砌的月台上，殿正中为九龙宝座，是慈禧太后寿辰时受贺之座。东配殿叫芳辉殿，西配殿为紫霄殿。”听导游这么一说，再看看排云殿，好像更气派了。

为了感谢导游阿姨的服务，大伯伯邀请她和我们合影留恋。出了颐和园，我想，今天不仅游览了颐和园，还学到许多知识，真是“读万卷书，行千里路”啊!

The hair style of high school students has been a controversial issue for many years. The prescribed plain short hair may look tidy, but the insistence on the hair length below the ear lobe in the case of girl students, which is fixed at one centimeter or at most two, is quite unnecessary. Until recently, the Mayor of Tainan had tried to persuade the Ministry of Education to give the high schoolers the carte blanche to determine their own hair styles. It is difficult for us to say if the idea is right or wrong. So far as I am concerned, problems of the young are not confined to such a small matter as hair style; what matters is the reinforcement of the students＇ moral consciousness, the way they should behave, and the like. The length of their hair or whether they have the right to give it a permanent wave is relatively unimportant. Cleanness and neatness is what really matters. There is hardly anything that stays unchanged all the time. Why doesn＇t the concerned authority reconsider this hair business? Maybe the bickerings that sour the relations between the military instructors and their students will therefore be gone. By the way, to improve one＇s appearance is nothing wrong, is it? We all expect to see a new look of the young. Maybe a change in the concerned authority＇s policy toward the high schoolers＇ hair style will bring this about.

[中国过生日的英语作文

我过年时干了很多事：有拜年、包饺子、放烟花、吃团圆饭……

但我最喜欢贴春联了，大年三十的早晨，我和大舅便开始贴春联了。我们先撕去旧春联，然后分工合作：我递浆糊，大舅用刷子把浆糊刷到门框两边;因大舅是做生意的，我们选中了一幅春联，上联是：生意兴隆通三江，下联是：财源广进达四海，横批是：财源茂盛，我便一条一条递给大舅，大舅便从右向左贴了起来，不一会儿，春联便贴好了，该贴门画了，我们挑来挑去，挑中了一幅画有金童玉女的门画，便从左贴了起来，金童贴在左边，玉女贴在右边，我仔细一看，发现了问题：为什么没有贴“福”字?我问大舅，大舅说：“福”字贴在里面的小门上。

春联贴完了，我也成了大花猫。但我很高兴，因为我知道了贴春、门画寄托了人们的美好愿望及对新年的祝福。

近日，某意大利知名奢侈品牌创始人，在互联网上发表了对中国筷子、中华文化的不当言论。这一举动，引起了广大中国人民群众的强烈不满。而我们想告诉他们：中国筷子是中华民族文化的结晶！

该品牌拍摄了，一个华裔女模特用中国筷子吃披萨的视频。视频中夹杂着中式发音，傲慢的语气，以及各种奇怪的姿势。这无疑是对中国文化的丑化！中华文化博大精深，源远流长，它具有它独特的魅力！

基于无知而建立起来的偏见是多么的愚蠢。

筷子，是中华文化上下五千年文明的产物。筷子，是中国独特的进食工具。秦汉时期称为“箸”与“住”同音，人们怕行船搁浅，变改“箸”为“快儿”，希望船行的快，一帆风顺，以图个吉利。汉代筷子又称为“挟提”，意为挟住再提起之意，这就十分形象地道出了筷子的实用功能。再后来，由于筷子制作的材料多是竹子，因此在“快”字头上加上“竹”字头。这就成了今天的“筷”字了。

筷子，是中华民族智慧的代表。筷子多七寸六分长，代表着人有“七情六欲”，是不同于一般动物的情感动物。因此，吃饭时也时时提醒人们要节制不当欲望。筷子圆的一头象征天，方的一头象征地，表示着“天圆地方”，这是中国人对世界基本原则的理解。此外，手持筷子时，拇指在上，无名指小指在下，中指在中间，是为“天地人”三才之象征，这是中国人对世界的关系的朴素理解。筷子成双出现，与太极阴阳理念相符，代表着万事万物都有两个对立面组成。一双双筷子凝结了多少先祖的智慧，也是对后人的教育。是具有博大精深的中华文化。

筷子，是中华民族精神的映射。在小时候，长辈用筷子喂我们吃饭，那是启迪；小时候，长辈教我们使用筷子时说“我们是中国人，必须会用筷子”时，那是传承；在外拼搏回家，一桌家常饭，挟起的是长辈对晚辈的关爱；身在异国，每逢节日对先祖的祭拜，那是对国家，家人的思念；“多个人多双筷子”。一双双筷子挟起的是温暖人心的人间烟火。是逢年过节，吃团圆饭的中国心。一双筷子，蕴含了“启迪、传承、明礼、关爱、思念、睦邻，团结……”。承载的是中华源远流长的文华。

一双筷子承载了多少中华文化。筷子代表的，不仅仅是吃饭的工具。外国人总是用自己狭隘的眼光去臆想他们认为的事，极其的自傲无知。不妨挟起一双木筷，从胃开始，读懂中华！

面对西方，西化、分化的图谋，我们应该时刻谨记“我们是中国人”，有着“自信力”，而不是“他信力”。应有我们华夏炎黄子孙该有的魄力，时刻怀揣一颗中国心！

一双筷子，承载着中华千年文明。有滋有味，有中国味。

中国是一个历史文化悠久的文明古国，中国人民几千年来创造了无数灿烂辉煌的传统文化。也许中国有了基本的道德准则、和礼仪文化。

中国从古代以来就被世人称为“文明古国，礼仪之邦”。中国具有五千年的文化风俗历史。中国古代的教育学家孔子就教育我们“不学礼，无以立。”的话语。

毫无疑问，传统礼仪文化对于我国社会发展产生了积极的影响。一般说来，社会上讲文明礼貌的人越多，这个社会便会越和谐。

在当今社会中，我们应立足于吸收民族文化中的精华，建起一片属于自己的文明天空。我们应该以自己祖国的传统文化为荣，让中国的传统文化更好地发扬和继承下去，而不是让传统文化逐渐地埋没和暗淡下去。

中华上下五千年，传统文化一路风尘仆仆走过来，有的是深厚的文化底蕴。但在今天，一提及中国传统文化，大多数人并没有什么清晰的概念，甚至有很多现代的年轻人并不喜欢过中国的传统节日。其实，除了端午节以外，我们国家还有许许多多的节日，比如春节、清明节、中秋节等。可相反，他们更喜欢过外国人的洋节日。例如白色情人节、圣诞节、万圣节等丰富多彩的外国人的节日，他们认为过这样的节日更有意思，更能够符合现在的潮流。但年轻人对于传统文化的理解却是意识十分淡薄。

中国的传统文化正在遭受着史无前例的遗忘与不屑，传统文化是中国几千年来老百姓的智慧和汗水的结晶和产物。是不能够被人们轻易的轻视和糟蹋掉的。

中国的传统文化，应是体现中国人价值的生活方式，传录它们还可以使我们的文化内涵发扬光大。

传统文化毕竟是中国传承了几千年的血脉，若血脉堵塞，中国只能被称为是一个现代国，而不能称其为中国了。

中国传统文化博大精深，它足以使国人和海外人引来容耀和自豪，它是中华民族重要的凝聚力，没有它，国人将迷失自我。没有它，中国便将只剩下一个空壳子。

纵观古今中外各国发展，世上没有一个民族是会否定自身的传统文化的，没有任何一个民族会认为自己的优秀的传统文化是过时的，有害的。

而传承和继承并发扬中国传统礼仪文化。是每个华夏儿女的责任，只有这样，我们才能无愧地大声说：“我是中国人!”

中华民族的传统文化是民族的精神支柱。中华传统文化是中国人民乃至全人类的宝贵财富。

我们应该继承和发扬中国传统文化，对于外来文化，应该做到，取其精华去其糟粕。这样才能够更好的保护中国的传统文化，不让它受外来文化所侵略。

To Live in an American Family

提纲

1. 留美学生与当地家庭生活在一起既有优点也有不足。

2. 不足之处。

3. 与当地家庭生活在一起的`优点远超过其不足。

for the student who wants to improve his english quickly and learn about american customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an american family. there may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, i believe there are far more advantages.

first of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. they will lose the chance of living on their own. another drawback to living in an american home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. for eample, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an american family, the advantage far overweighs them. by taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an ecellent opportunity to learn about american customs. also, he will learn about many other aspects about american way of life, such as the way schools are run in the u nited states. and the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

嗨咯，大家好，我们这次来到了西安。你们知道来西安必须要去哪个景点玩吗?对了，就是兵马俑。前法国总理都说：世界上有了七大奇迹，秦俑的发现，可以说是八大奇迹了。不看秦俑，不能算来过中国。

我们在大门口请了一个导游就进馆参观了，哇!眼前的景象让我大饱眼福、大开眼界。整个墓坑呈长方形，被罩在一个巨大的棚子里。兵马俑，有牵马的，有直立的，有跪射的，他们都整整齐齐地排在墓坑里。他们都神情十分严肃，好像在等待命令，准备随时与敌厮杀。我们跟在导游后面，边走，边看，边听。墓坑里还有许多支离破碎的兵马俑，科学家们正在拼命的恢复。兵马俑还有一个神奇的特点—————那就是，千人无一相同面孔，每一个兵马俑的五官、胡须、发髻、动作都栩栩如生，我不禁佩服古代工匠巧夺天工的本领。二号坑和三号坑没有完全发掘出来，我就不一一介绍了。

看了这么伟大的建筑，此时我感慨万千：建造这么庞大的墓坑需要多少人力呢?毕竟有的工匠把一生都投入进去了呢!从中我认识到了中国皇帝的残暴，怪不得人人都想当皇帝呢。

夕阳西下，我们告别了兵马俑，告别了那段悲伤的历史······

今天下午，看了会儿电视，电视里正在播放“爱情公寓”。这个电视挺搞笑的，我很喜欢看。

我今天刚好看到了里面有个人叫龙在天，我忽然想起上次和爸爸看收藏节目的时候，爸爸不是给我出了副对联吗?那天看到马未都在节目中刚好在说马的故事，爸爸就随口说了一句：“马年马未都说马，这个对联怎么样?你能对上来吗?”

当时我实在接不上来，就说：“等我哪天想起来再告诉你吧。”

“ 龙年龙在天说龙”，我研究了一下觉得好像能对上哎!我立即打电话给爸爸说：“你上次不是出了副对联吗?我终于对出来了!”“什么对联啊?”“上次在看收藏节目时，你给我出的那道啊”“噢那个啊，你说说看。”“马年马未都说马，龙年龙在天说龙”“不错哦，你真聪明!”

通过这件事，我发现中国的传统文化还是很有意思的!

今天是除夕，盼望已久的春节终于来了。洗澡过后，我换上了新衣服，穿上了新鞋子，感觉神清气爽。晚饭时，一家人人围坐在火炉旁，吃着丰盛的年夜饭，有冬菇焖鸭、小炒包菜、自制盐焗鸡、汤圆等等?一桌佳肴让人口水直流三千尺。我们一边吃一边看着中央电视台的春节晚会，一些相声段子把我们笑得人仰马翻，在不知不觉中20XX年的钟声敲响了，噼里啪啦的鞭炮声响彻了神州大地，绚丽的、五光十色的烟火像鲜花一样在夜空中绽放，把茫茫的黑夜点缀得如同白昼一般。

大年初一早上，我早早起床，把自己弄得衣着整齐。早饭过后，我给爷爷姥姥拜年，爷爷姥姥把早准备好的红包给了我，希望我身体健康。我拿着红包好高兴，我要把压岁钱存起来，等到爷爷姥姥生日的时候再给爷爷姥姥买>礼物。

接着我到姥姥家去拜年了，我见到了六只新出生的小狗，它们有的长了一身乌黑的毛，有的长了一身棕色的毛，好可爱！我还用年夜饭剩下的骨头给它们吃。当我离开姥姥家的时候，它们一直目送我们上车，我还真有点舍不得离开它们。

春节我过得好开心啊！

Junwu past.then light clouds, in the branch of the season, we should have the motherland 70 birthday with you, can with zhuguoqing, i feel very happy. here, i want to motherland proud mother said: i love you, china!

ah! huanghe river, wall, you feed the onsweep of what a splendid ethnic! five thousand years of history, the chinese civilization, etc to breathtaking. oh, the motherland, the river is flowing through a long run you elegant long long mountain is hale backbone. you have mountains of treasure, you have beautiful varied landscape, you are resplendent and magnificent imperial palace, have you wan ting stretch of the great wall, the history, there are eight. you still have a lot of... in your vast territory, generation after generation descendants with our own hands created splendid oriental civilization.

however, we will not forget, the chinese nation also had the vicissitudes of life, after suffering, our motherland has much humiliation and insult. we shall never forget the bright garden, forget in every chinese head "asia" hat, forget the park gate "chinese and dog allowed" sign, forget the 300,000 compatriots in nanjing yangtze river is red with blood. the earth in the yellow river in cry moans, however, chinese people never crushed.

chinese children in humen was uncovered against aggression. the taiping heavenly kingdom, the flag of 1898, the yi ho tuan warrior jinglei broadsword, the revolution of 1911 gunshots, show the world that the chinese nation: chinese people dont apprehend,. the may 4th movement, the communist party of china was established, more like jinglei though the sky. from nanchang to jinggangshan, from yenan to xibaipo, "a little spark kindles a great fire. chinese people just with millet and rifle hit a splendid china, we this oriental giant finally again stand up!

金风送爽，天高云淡，在这个花果飘香的季节里，我们迎来了祖国七十岁的生日，能与大家同祝国庆，我感到非常快乐。在这里，我要自豪地对祖国母亲说：我爱你，中国!

啊!黄河长江，奔腾万里，你们哺育了一个多么辉煌的民族!五千年的辉煌历史，饮誉四海的华夏文明，足以让人叹为观止。哦，祖国，涓涓流贯的河川是你飘逸的长发，绵亘悠久长的山岳是你硬朗的脊梁。你有满山遍野的宝藏，你有秀丽多姿的山水，你有金碧辉煌的故宫，你有蜿蜓伸展的万里长城，纵有千古，横有八荒。你还有很多很多。。。。。。在你辽阔的土地上，一代又一代的炎黄子孙用自己的双手创造了灿烂的东方文明。

但是，我们不会忘记，中华民族也曾几经沧桑、几经痛苦，我们的祖国母亲也曾倍受欺凌与污辱。我们忘不了园明园的火光，忘不了扣在每个中国人头上的“东亚病夫”的帽子，忘不了公园门口“华人与狗不得入内”的牌子，忘不了南京三十万同胞的鲜血染红了长江。大地在呻吟，黄河在哭泣，然而中国人民永远也不会被压垮。

兵马俑是我国第一位皇帝——秦始皇的陶土殉葬品，被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”!虽然汉代被刘邦毁了不少，可经过考古人员的修复，现在的兵马俑依然相当于一个岿然不动的庞大军队。

那年夏天，我来到西安。刚一进兵马俑地窖的洞门，一阵清凉袭来，仿佛穿越到了另一个世界。在几千年前建造如此多的雕像所耗费的钱财和劳力可想而知，沉静的洞穴里传来一阵赞叹。大家纷纷拿出手机拍照留念。

兵马俑雕刻得极其传神。兵佣的每一条手纹都了了可见，历历可数。每个兵佣神情各异。有些俑眼神愤怒，可能是被强行掳来当兵而敢怒不敢言;有些俑沧桑的脸颊上印满了忧愁，可能是害怕自己战死沙场再也照顾不了妻儿老小吧;有些俑却神情坚定，像是在大喊：“今天就让我马革裹尸吧!”所有的俑都形神兼备，每一张脸都折射出他们丰富细腻的内心世界。

导游又把我们带到另一边。那里全是战车和烈马，充满力量感。所有战马都昂首长嘶，像是在锣鼓喧天和刀光剑影的战场上与主人冲锋陷阵，势如破竹。马群中有一辆最精致、最豪华的马车，车上雕满花纹、飞龙。导游介绍道：传说这是为秦始皇的灵魂准备的，可以让他仙逝后飞往天宫。我突然感觉打扰了泱泱大国一代帝王的肃穆和庄严。

几千年前，人类就有如此成就让我叹为观止，我的心情久久无法将平复。至今，我还对那天的游览刻骨铭心。

The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans national pastime1, but whats a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is Americas symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.

Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact

“The UN of Food.”

To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:

1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase ones appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”

2. Hors doeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.

3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 peoples appetite.

4. Now the main course is under way:

a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.

b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.

c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.

d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.

5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.

6. Coffee—thats the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. Its served either at table or in the living room.

In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.

Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from ones own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to ones need.

The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.

(1) Dont circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you dont like the food or something like that.

(2) Dont push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that youve just completed a labor?

(3)Dont lean18 back and announce that “Im through” or “Im stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, thats all.

(4) Dont cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.

(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Dont do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.

(6) Dont crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!

(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.

(8) Its never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”
