关于初中生活的英语作文带翻译汇编19篇

赶到中学早已三个月了，从刚赶到中学这一陌生的自然环境再到渐渐地的了解。

刚入学考，我看到我考試的班级没有一个我了解的同学们，十分迷失，我以为下面的两年没有一个了解的同学们在我的班级，可是所幸入校考的班级并并不是宣布的班级，当我们赶到新的课室，见到一张张陌生的脸孔，里边也没有一个我了解的人，别人都好像了解一般。我找了一个最外边的部位坐下来，直至过去的小学同学们的来临，我好像他乡遇故知一样开心极了，赶忙拉着他坐着我身旁，一会儿教师见到人都到齐了，更逐渐详细介绍院校的历史时间，以后又逐渐详细介绍了每科教师，又使我们自身去探寻院校的每个角落里，我在一开始对院校的好奇心陌生越来越渐渐地了解，而如今我对班级里的同学们也从陌生变成了了解，历经无数次主题活动后，因为我交给了很多盆友。

中学，不但是课业越来越繁杂，并且节奏感也快了，从原先的四门主科变成了五门。最大的不同便是提升了月考，从小学每学年2次考试变成了如今的4次，要我经常觉得厚重的学习压力。而如今教师授课的速率迅速，一天只教就教另一课，沒有不必要的時间使你再渐渐地去消化吸收。一个月就来一次月考，压力很大啊。第一次月考，考試后我发现了我的每个考试成绩也不理想化，乃至连平常比较擅长的英语丢分也很大，而最好是的社会发展也只考了八十一些，应对着考试成绩我愣住了，是他人太强，或是我较弱？我疑惑了！在小学里大家只高度重视主科，偏视副科，而现在在中学主科和副科一样的关键，下面的期终考对于我而言是一个极限挑战2，我想在下面的一个月中努力加油突破自我，争得考到优异成绩。

在中学的三个月中，要我掌握到很多物品，也了解了下中学与小学的极大区别，初中生学习的难度系数远远地超出小学，而中学厚重的学习压力和不计其数的工作是小学从沒有过的。在中学大家每日做作业都需要提到10：00，每科各式各样的工作使你写的手都酸软。这三个月，让我明白了，在中学三年不但要有一个承受力极其强劲的心理状态，还需要有一副健硕的体能，去融入这重要的三年。

Dear Mr Fu,

在圣诞节到来之际，我再次向你表达我深深的谢意!

祝您是身体健康，万事如意!

您的学生

With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection, the word

“low-carbon” has been very popular in life. We can find it in many aspects, such

as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, and low-carbon travel and so on.

Generally speaking, more and more people are advocating “low-carbon”

lifestyle.

As implied in the name, “low-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of

lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much

as possible. For example, some office workers are not proud of driving private

cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public

transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as

much as they can.

As college students, we also make some contribution in our daily life to

reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide. For example, switch off the light

when leaving and save water. In addition, we should use our knowledge and action

to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon

dioxide and lead them to lead a “low-carbon” life.

Today, I opened my free forum and I was very happy because I could do a lot

of things there. I decided to upgrade my forum and make it interesting. Then I

will make it grow up and at the same time, I can write down what I want to say

there. I will be very happy.

今天我开通了自己的免费论坛，我很高兴。因为我可以在那里做很多事。我决定要好好改造我的论坛，让他变得很新奇。然后我就会慢慢地让他成长起来，同时在那里写下我的心声。那样我会很快乐。

When I return to my hometown on holidays, I will be very excited, because

it is the place that I love so much. The trees are so green and the sky is so

blue. When I play on the river side, I can catch fish. I grow up there and have

a happy time with my dear friends. I will never forget the beautiful scenery

there.

一句关切的问候是一朵花;一个亲切的微笑是一朵花;一次碰撞后的忍让是一朵花;一次跌倒后的搀扶是朵花;一次善意的批评是一朵花……我们用心去采摘，生活就会更加充满情趣。

在我的生活中也有着一朵朵这样的“花”。在上体育课时，我的调皮不愿意缺席。今天，调皮又冒出来了，正在跑步时，我想停下来，没想到刚停下就被后面的同学撞了一下，顿时我被重重的撞倒在地上。身体隐隐作痛。贪玩的心里使我一会儿就不觉得痛了，便又与同学嬉戏打闹成一片，我像只快乐的小鸟飞来飞去。可好景不长，我一步一只脚踩到了另一只脚上，立即摔倒在地，新伤加旧伤，更是疼痛难忍。这时一位同学见我坐在地上，便赶忙跑到我身旁，用一句句关切又温柔的话语让我忽然感到我的痛减少了许多，我十分感动，我的疼痛减轻中有着她的功劳。之后她又帮我揉了揉，其它同学让她一起参与游戏中，她都谢绝了，帮我继续揉着。等到我不再疼痛的时候，她才和我一起开心的玩游戏，我们玩得非常尽幸，同时我也特别感激她，心中对她充满了友好。这不就是一朵艳丽的“花”吗?

我与妹妹之间很友好，但有时我们之间也会发生冲突。记得在夏天的时候，爸爸买回家一只大西瓜，把它切成了几块。家人都狼吞虎咽地吃起来。当桌上只剩下最后一块西瓜时，恰巧我和妹妹手上的西瓜又同时吃完。这时我和妹妹争先恐后地抢着吃桌上的最后一块，大家冷眼对着，最后妹妹说道：“算了吧!这块就给你吃吧!”我顿时感到很惊讶，同时又很羞愧。于是，我想了一会儿，把这块“珍贵”的西瓜让给了妹妹。她在我的心底浇灌出一棵美丽的“花”。

一个窗台上有一朵红花，这个屋子就有生气了;一棵树上开了一朵花，这棵树就成熟了;一条路上绽放一朵花，这条路就会有情趣了。所以大家一定多去“栽种”那些“花”，让你的心中因这些“花”而感到温暖，渐渐成熟起来。

站在清澈的快速“奔跑”的小溪跟前，我脑中便闪现出孔子的教海：“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜。”时间好比流水，一去不复返。回望眼，初中生活，就像一首交响乐，主旋律只有六个字：磨炼、考验、挑战。

八月份，我终于迈进了中学的大门，跨上了人生的第二个台阶。对于当时稚气未脱的我，在小学那熟悉不能在熟悉的环境下，初中生活无疑是最新鲜的，我满怀着一颗好奇心踏上了初中的旅途，在这里，经过三年之久的反复磨练，教会了我许多做人的道理，丰富了我的人生经验，也让我懂得了只有努力认真才是学习的唯一筹码。

三年的时光，随着年龄一点点增大，心智也渐渐成熟，而我面对的是则更多的成功与失败，一个个考验接踵而来。当鲤鱼前无古人后无来者地越过龙门后，迎接他的是刺眼的白光和熟悉的水流，白光无情的刺瞎了他的双眼，剧痛。他用仅剩的微弱的视力打量这个他几乎耗尽一生经历获得的成功时，他觉得生活跟他开了个玩笑——没有终点，也没有梦里想象的那样繁华，这仍是一片宁静的水域，原来成功不过是奔赴另一个起点罢了。初中生活更是如此，对于即将结束的初中我们以为到达了胜利的彼岸，其实不然，我们只是找到了成功之门的钥匙，未来还很远，我们要经得住考验，不忘初心，砥砺前行。

有磨炼，有考验，当然也少不了挑战，尤其要自己挑战自己。因为挑战是对经过磨炼和考验后的一种检验。我们这个班级是高手云集之地。有高手，初中的生活才更富有挑战性，才会更刺激。在压力的驱使下，同学们都投入了紧张的复习，比赛也会更扑期迷离，鹿死谁手还是个未知数。我也会以积极的态度投入到考试之中，去收获曾经付出的辛劳和汗水。

微风细雨，清秋如画，心事如澜，若水清颜。比起即将到来的感伤，更喜欢回忆埋在心头的温暖，我的初中三年，是沁脾的浅香，也是恬淡的凄美。

My Winter Holiday` Plans Well, winter holiday is coming. So whatI am going

to do? I am going to read English books，surf the Internet，play badmintoon every

day。And first I am going to finish my homework 。In addition， I am going to leave

Shantou for Xiamen with my family and we are going to stay there for ten

days。And after we are getting there， we are going to eat delicious food，climb

the mountains in the Jin Bang Park。That must be a lot more fun and we will very

excited。How about you?What are you going to do when the Winter Holiday is

coming?

周末下午，我总是一个人在家。虽然可以看看电视，上上网，写写作业，听听音乐，但心中总是有那么些孤寂感——自己一个人在家，我真的觉得好孤单，没有人和我说话，没有人和我吵吵闹闹，没有人关心，虽然有那机械化的电脑，但那终究是一台工具，缺少真情实感——哦，生活需要友情!

想想在学校，在那么一大堆的朋友之间，上课时和他们一起探索，有时自己需要“开一会小差”，便叫旁边的同学帮忙提防老师;又是互相借镜子照，还会“一本正经”的说“女生就是自恋”，然后互相认同一番;有时会集体一起去某某班看某个男生，指手划脚地评“帅不帅”啦，心里又是一阵激动;有时在无聊的课堂上会闹出一番笑话，那都是同学可爱的思想的表现;有时还会集体抱怨，说什么“这什么老师啦”“老师真是越来越‘坏’了”之类的话，其实那不过是在意老师的一种表现罢了。身边有朋友，生活就有快乐。

的确，真的是朋友丰富着我的生活，给我画上翅膀，涂上颜色，让我有希望展翅高飞······

记得有一次，刚走在回家的路上却下起了雨，然后头顶上多出了一把伞，那是朋友的伞;记得有一次，洗完手后回到餐桌准备拿筷子、盛饭，却发现饭已经盛好，上面还放着一双筷子，那是朋友做的;记得有一次，刚从下雨的外面回到教室，放下湿漉漉的、凌乱的雨伞后跑向厕所，回来后伞已被收好，整整齐齐得挂在钉子上;还记得走着走着，突然被一双手蒙住了眼睛，“猜猜我是谁”的话显得那样可爱······

生活需要友情!

友情能够安慰你，能够开导你，能够鼓励你，能够相信你，让你更好的去做自己。

生活需要友情!

友情能够使你快乐，使你忘记烦恼，使你放松，让你更加自由的生活。

生活需要友情!

友情能够是你在阴冷的下雨天，不再觉得孤独!

时间短又快，一眨巴眼的功夫，就迎来了最受学生喜爱的寒假;时间短又快，一眨巴眼的功夫，就迎来了新的学期。寒假已逝，可也留下了可爱的足迹值得去怀念。

白雪纷飞

北风吹，雪花飘，冬日老人来报道。前脚还在考场舞文弄墨，后脚就已经踏进了新春的气氛里。拔起手指数一数，大年三十不远了。可是总感觉一阵阵的乏味少了点什么。走出大门耳旁少了昔日城市的喧嚣，飘来一声声质朴的欢声。深吸一口气，一道混杂着乡土的雪味钻入脑海，勾出童年的回忆。啊，明白缺什么了玩雪!冬日不玩雪，算什么有趣?找来小伙伴，堆起小雪人。突然一枚雪球正中我的脸颊，凉而不冰，润而不湿，就像农民毫不避讳的热情一样，叫人没法讨厌，反倒被这憨厚劲儿感染到了，自己也不禁发笑。

鸳鸯成双

咱们中国人虽然是聪明理性的民族，但始终是有一点老祖宗传下来的迷信。尤其是像一些“大事“，必须要在一个黄道吉日里，请来亲朋好友吃喝一顿，一醉方休。什么日子最沾喜气呢?莫过于新春时节。这不，我的大堂姐正和村里的一个小伙结婚呢，包括我的各路亲戚，也正在喝着新婚酒。宴会里喜气洋洋，许多的人不认识，可也在一起豪饮美酒，谈笑风生。女的在一起唠家常，谈生活，男的则在一起勾肩搭背，大口吃肉。还有几个喝高的，要么是与别人吐露真言，要么就是在大声歌唱。不管唱的好不好听，观众也总是笑哈哈。新郎新娘呢，不算是龙凤成双，也不算是郎才女貌，只是两个质朴、平凡的普通人。却是格外的恩爱，区别于网络就行的”秀恩爱“，而是一种纯正，真切的感情。

新春佳节

“恭喜你发财，恭喜你精彩“耳畔响起来熟悉的曲声春节来了·。只听见外面一阵噼里啪啦的声音，那股令人兴奋的火药味也飘进了别墅。我寻味而去，走进热闹的集市。大街上真是应有尽有，各种手工食品，手写春联，烟花爆竹，琳琅满目，叫人目不暇接。买来一副对联，一边哼着曲儿，一边走路回家，突然诗兴大发，张口来了一首打油诗：新春辞旧迎欢乐，十步一闻爆竹声。问谁佳节不狂喜?福瑞吉祥满人间。

夜晚，一大家子聚在一起吃年夜饭。长辈见小辈，少不了一阵的嘘寒问暖，也少不了对人生、事业、学业进程的询问。若是听到顺的，总是会露出欣慰的笑;若是听到不顺的，少不了一顿骂，但最终还是会表示鼓励。饭后，小孩儿一起放炮仗，大孩子在看烟花，成人们则在一起聊天。谁也不打扰谁，谁也没感到被落下，只是一片欢乐安详的样子。

回归校园

冬日老人还是到了时候，与我们不辞而别，顺便带走了寒假，找春姑娘接班又要上学了。

快乐的日子总是短暂的，不，难道上学不算快乐的时光吗?该玩时就该放开玩，该学习时就该专注学习，与同学相聚，共同学习，不快乐吗?不论是冬日，寒假还是春节都是年年都有，可是与同学的时光，在学校学习的时光，却是一天比一天少，一去不复返了。

No matter the day is how to spend endless， the sun always rises and falls，

flowers always bloom and wither， around heavy traffic is always fleeting， stand

at the time of the tail， we kept after the mist as ignorant of the future.

Too many people always sigh the cruelty of time and the helpless of growing

up。 In fact， growth is really a caterpillar into a butterfly process， always

undergo a metamorphosis of pain， you can better meet the chocolate as unknown

world。 All that let go or no one saw tears in a few years back， you can get

unexpected! The road of the future， whether rugged or smooth， requires you to go

and taste it alone.

Eileen Chang wrote an article about "road"， referring to the way of growth。

This road is a road that everyone must take。 Those who pass by advise the people

who are going this way not to choose the road， because it is so rough and long

that it is refuted： "since you can walk this way， how can I not go out?"。" Thus，

one after another people go through this road full of hardships， perhaps this is

the true meaning of growth。 Knowing that he might fall into it， he obstinately

persisted in his choice.

I think that the child will never grow up Peter Pam， who said he had no

regrets can not grow， we are always sad to miss the past endlessly all say

"dont grow up， never grow up， if you really can not grow up， you really dont

care? Every time there is a time of happiness。 In any case， we will grow up as

time goes by from the palm of the palm.

Growing up is like a mysterious fruit。 Some people resist it hysterically，

and some people cant wait to taste it。 But only when we grow up can we get more

and better world.

My name is Beth。 Im 14 years old， and I study in No。 1 Middle School of Hangzhou。 My school is very big and beautiful。 Im very happy in the school。

I usually get up at 6：15 in the morning。 Then I do morning exercises in the playground。 At 6：40， I have my breakfast。 You can see many students and teachers in the dinning room。 After breakfast， I often read English with my classmates。

get ready for this festival.

First, will make a big New Year meal. Second, we will make “Good-luck

wishes.” Third, we will set off firecrackers. New Year meal is delicious and we

think that eating some will bring us good luck. A long time ago, Chinese people

believed red color could bring our good luck too. And we set off firecrackers

could frighten ghosts away.

Chinese New Year is very popular between students. Because we can have a

long happy holiday.

中国新的一年的到来，我的家人很忙。这是因为中国的农历新年是非常特殊和重要的。我们必须准备许多特别的东西能为这个节日准备。

首先，将做一顿丰盛的新年。第二，我们将“祝福”。第三，我们会放鞭炮。新年餐美味，我们认为吃一些东西会为我们带来好运气。很久以前，中国人认为红色可以把我们的好运气。我们可以燃放爆竹吓唬鬼魂。

中国的新年是很受欢迎的学生之间。因为我们可以有很长的节日快乐。

The annual Lantern Festival arrived, and I came to my grandmas house with a

happy mood.

My grandmother had already prepared the lantern for me and my sister, and I

was a smiling piggy, with a lovely appearance and a little belly. Sisters is a

small dragonfly, its wings are like real, able to move back and forth. Before

dinner, grandma asked me and my sister to shine a lantern on the granary and

corner, and grandma said that the place would not be a worm in the four

seasons.

After dinner, we again outside fireworks, daddy is holding a big fireworks,

in the middle of the yard, a ignition, scratching, see flames, the fireworks

into a golden ball, flying in all directions, so beautiful, my sister and I the

excited jumped down.

How happy I was on the fifteenth day of the first month!

一年一度的元宵节到了，我怀着愉快的情绪来到奶奶家。

奶奶早已给我和姐姐准备好的灯笼，我的是一只笑眯眯的小猪，它的样貌十分可爱，还带着一个小肚兜。姐姐的是一只小蜻蜓，它的翅膀像真的一样，能够来回扇动。晚饭前，奶奶让我和姐姐用灯笼照一下粮仓和墙角等地方，奶奶说这样照过了的地方一年四季就不会生虫了。

晚饭过后，我们又到屋外放烟花，爸爸抱出一个很大的烟花，放在院子中间，一点火，噼里啪啦，只见火光冲天，烟花变成了一个个金黄色的小圆球，飞向四面八方，真漂亮，我和姐姐激动的又蹦又跳。

今年的正月十五我过得真快乐呀!

百味的初中生活!

——题记

小学时候，见那手中捧着书本的哥哥、姐姐们，我心中甭提有多羡慕啦!心说：“什么时候我也变成那样就好了。”我放飞理想，等待着……

童年时光悄然而逝，当怀着憧憬的步伐敲开大门时，我发现：它并没有我想象中的那么美好。

初中生活是百味的。

甜

开学第一天的典礼上，校长讲过这样一席话，他说：“你们的童年已经离去。步入中学的大门，就应该认真学习，取长补短。父母的钱来之不易，供你们读书就更加不容易。所以，我们应该珍惜时间、从现在做起、把握机会。让中学在你们的带领下，更加辉煌。”场下一片掌声，久久不愿息去。我牢记这一席话，把他作为我学习的动力。功夫不负有心人，第一次月考中，我顺利的进入前一百名。取得了初步的胜利。我高兴不已，心中似抹了蜜。

咸

时间慢慢地流逝着，初三的生活向我步步走来。一次次考试的失败，我困苦

天，灰蒙蒙的，风儿将树叶吹的飒飒作响。我想到了老师，想到父母，泪水再也止不住了，任凭它流淌。咦?怎么是咸

苦

中考临近，资料书、考试卷将课桌淹没。“烛下秉乘”早已成为习惯;“三点一线”的生活早已成为家常便饭;“三天一小考，五天一大考”早已成为规律。学校一响起喇叭，大家便异口同声地说：“初三同学进考场。于是大家各自收拾。

天，不在那么灰暗，夕阳的余晖洒遍每寸土地。我默默地祈祷着：希望能梦想成真!

生活中有百态，人有百味。有百味的渲染，生活免得丰富多彩。

百味的初中生活!

今天是“南尖岩科技之旅”夏令营的第二天。我们的任务是亲身体验干农家活，制作特色小吃——豆腐酿。

上午我们一起在一位老伯伯的带领下参观了高山蔬菜基地，那里种满了蔬菜，有南瓜、玉米苗、水稻等等，给我们简单地介绍了它们的生长环境和生长过程，接下来就是我们大显身手的时候了，亲自下地除草。同学们可真是累坏了，不大一会儿，一个个汗流满面，小脸通红。有的同学还时不时的起来锤锤背，伸伸胳膊；还有的同学满身都是泥土呢！火辣辣的太阳照射着我们，可还是阻止不了我们辛勤的劳动。

下午我们又亲手磨豆腐酿了，翁老师还说自己动手磨的豆腐酿每个人都要尝一尝。我、金建、郭芷青三人一组，一个人乘豆子，两个人磨豆腐酿，进行分工磨豆腐酿。我和金建的四只小手紧紧地握住磨手，一下快一下慢地转动着磨盘，郭芷青准确地把豆粒倒进转动着的石磨洞孔中，偶尔掉到外面去。不一会儿，我们磨出的豆腐酿就顺着磨石的缝隙流了下来吃晚饭时，我们都觉得豆腐酿很好吃，因为这是我们亲手磨的。

动手体验农家活、亲口尝尝农家饭、亲身住在农家院的乐趣真是美好啊！

children should be loved

most of us own a simple and good life. city born and city bred, we sometimes imagine the idyllic pastoral scene such as the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. in face, everything has its pros and cons. the other side of picture is that leftover children have become a heavy topic nowadays, because most parents of these children consider that to feed their children well and to let them grow up health and safe in body are the most important task.however, as a matter of fact, in addition to provide the basic needs for their children, parents should pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs and their education.

for one thing, parents who cannot accompany their children often need to pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs.therefore, it seems to me that government can set up a parents school for these children on holidays and organize" hand-in-hand" activity to call on more people to help them. we can also raise money to donate to these children. as the song says:"if everyone gives their love, the world will be better." its very important for us to pay more attention to these children if we want to build a harmonious society.

for another, education of leftover children is also quite important. as the saying goes, “knowledge can change our fate”, education is an effective way to change the future of those children. in order to make those leftover children grow up in health, therefore, we need to show more concern about their psychological needs and their education.

in my view, leftover children should be encouraged to live with or near their parents, which is very helpful for them to be loved and concerned, they also can have a simple and good life.

I am so looking forward to my college life. I have pictured it thousands of

times in my mind. The free lifestyle and lively parties are always appearing my

mind. The great expectation of campus life endows me a lot of passion to keep

study. After two years’ study, I would find my lifestyle.

The first thing for me is to learn more knowledge. Most students find a way

to release themselves and skip or sleep in the class. They think study is just

the task, so they give up improving themselves and take part in all kinds of

activities, which bring them great joy. The wrong conception about college stage

makes most students miss the best time to equip themselves with skills. I

realize my job and dare not to loose study.

The second thing for me to learn is to make friends by joining activities.

I am a shy girl, but inside my heart, I am so eager to make more friends, so I

choose to join many activities in the spared time. I learn dancing and playing

tennis. The lucky thing is that I know many nice people and we become good

friends, who make my college colorful.

The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.

农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节，腊代表中国农历的十二月，而八是eight的发音，因此，这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多，我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日，我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先，祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。

Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.

从传统上讲，腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成，这些材料可以是黏米，红豆，小米，高粱，豌豆，莲子和一些诸如红枣，栗子，核桃仁，杏仁，花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时，然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后，家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传

Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.

腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起，就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天，这样，到春节的时候，就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。

"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to

boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.

China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was

exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central

Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early

period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper

class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and

china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the

culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple

gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a

fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.

China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the

Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who

wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The

spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are

many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.

Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted

for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in

the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny

cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs

Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China

like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea

ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.
