描写中秋佳节的英语作文（20篇）

今天是农历八月十五，一年一度的中秋佳节又到了。

中秋节是我国的传统文化节日，又称月夕、秋节、八月节、追月节、拜月节、女儿节、团圆节等，因为恰值三秋之半，故名 “中秋节”。据说此夜月球距地球最近，月亮最大最圆最亮，所以从古至今都有饮宴赏月的习俗。

我们和大姨两家人早早来到姥姥家，刚到家门口，就闻到一股香喷喷的饭菜香扑鼻而来。我迫不及待地跑进屋，看到桌上已摆满丰盛美味的饭菜，口水都流下来了!我们大伙围坐在一起吃团圆饭，有说有笑，好不热闹。

晚上，我们坐在院子里一边赏月，一边吃月饼。桌上的月饼各式各样，有豆沙月饼、水果月饼、椒盐月饼……还放着各种水果。

一轮金色的明月冉冉升起，圆圆的月亮好像一个光洁晶莹的大圆盘，又仿佛一个圆圆的大月饼。柔和的月光静静地洒在大地上，整个大地世界被罩上一层银色的光，宛如慈爱的母亲轻轻地抚摸我们，舒服极了!看着月亮，我不禁想起嫦娥奔月的故事，我好想有一双翅膀飞到月亮上，既可以观赏美好的夜景，又可以和嫦娥、玉兔一起玩耍……今夜，我度过了一个多么快乐的中秋节呀!

[一年一度的中秋佳节作文

我最喜欢的一个传统佳节是中秋节。又称月夕仲秋节、八月节、八月会、女儿节或团圆节等等。中秋佳节，人们最主要的活动是赏月和吃月饼了。大人们通常在月光下摆满好吃的食物，待到吃不完，最后自然是由我们小孩子来解决它们。听说在古代在中秋节的夜晚，人们还可以穿大街走小巷，一边猜灯谜，一边吃着好吃的瓜果点心，多么开心！

有一年中秋节，学校里专门腾出一个星期五，不上课，就做月饼。我和同学们都是第一次做月饼，开心得不得了。来到食堂里，坐下来后，发现桌上已经放了一些准备材料，有面粉、鸡蛋、糖……我们把手洗干净就开始做月饼了。大家学着老师的样子，先将面粉加上糖、水和鸡蛋混在一起，开始揉面。揉啊揉，揉得我手都酸了，终于把面揉成均匀的一团。接着我从大面团中取出一小块面团，放在掌心里不停地搓，搓啊搓，搓成一个小圆球。我用大拇指在圆球中央摁了一个小洞，不停地旋转，那个圆球变成了一个“小碗”。我从碗里拿了一点馅放进去，把“小碗”的口收起来，又变成了一个圆球，只不过比原来大了些。最后把这个大圆球放到模子一压，一个月饼就做好了。就这样，我和同学们做了一个又一个月饼。最后，老师把月饼装进烤盘放入烤箱烘烤。大家都焦急地等待着。这时，老师便给我们讲起了中秋节的传说……

快要放学了，月饼终于发到了我们手中。回家路上，我拿出一个月饼，那月饼真好看，黄澄澄的面皮上刻着些图案，咬一口，面皮很软，最好吃的是紫黑色的豆沙馅，滑滑的，又香又甜。不一会儿，学校里发的三个月饼很快就被我吃光了，我还是觉得吃得不过瘾，又回家吃了好几个妈妈买的月饼才解了馋。

中秋节就是这么让人难忘！

[描写我最喜欢的传统佳节作文

Last year，my friend gave me a little dog. I was fond of him very much. I liked to play with him after school and he liked to follow me wherever I went. I was very glad that I had a “body guard”。

Last winter I was very busy with my lessons and came home very late every day.However，no matter how late I went home，my dog used to stand at a comer near my school waiting for me. When I passed there，he barked two or three times then ran towards me. It seemed that he was calling me.

My dog not only，took good care of me，but also was respoasible at home. When strangers came to my house，he barked at them but not hurt them. What a lovely dog he is!

去年我朋友送我一只狗，我非常喜欢它。我很喜欢和他一起玩，放学后他喜欢跟着我，无论我走到哪里。我很高兴我有一个“保镖”。

去年冬天我功课很忙，每天回家都很晚。但是，不管我到家多晚，我的狗狗经常站在一个角落里在我的学校等着我。当我经过那里，他厉声叫两到三次，然后跑向我。似乎它是在呼唤我。

我的狗，不仅把我照顾得很好，但在家也很负责任。当有陌生人来到我家，他对着他们叫但不会伤害他们。他是一个多么可爱的狗!

The significant inscription found on an old key "If I rest, I rust" would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idleness. Even the most industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture --- every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquishes all --- not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

Turnip greens, all have love. Some people like to bounce the little rabbit, some people like well-behaved little cat, and I like my home that shaking his head and wagging the little black dog.

My dog has a pair of water Lingling, shiny, talking big eyes. In addition to the dog on the legs and belly hair is white, the other places are black. Every time we eat, it is lying on the door, waiting for the owner to feed it. I remember once, the dog did not eat a day, and at night when the grandfather to go, it was like a child holding the grandfather holding, until the grandfather said to give it to eat, it was down.

My puppy usually likes to sleep, like shaking the tail on the ground. You can not underestimate it all day lying on the ground, it has a pair of sensitive ears. Every time I go home from school very far away, it will run out to meet me. It put his legs on my lap, tongue licking my hand, or else licking my clothes, the kind of intimate strength unspeakable, often made me covered with dog hair.

Yesterday at noon school, it also wanted to follow me to school. I went back and said, "Ill go back to school in the afternoon." Do you want to run at home and know that? "It looked at me like a pair of eyes. When I went to the corner of the street, I saw it still standing there motionless ...

I like my dog!

“每逢佳节倍思亲”，不知不觉之中，我们又迎来了一年一度的中秋团圆时节。每年农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。这也是我国仅此于春节的第二大传统节日。

中秋节是团圆节，可是我们家没有团圆，我一直都在思念我远在外乡的爸爸，在中秋节的时候尤其思念。

昨天是一年一度的中秋节，下午我一直待在亲戚家玩。

亲戚家的菜可真丰富啊，有粉干、田螺、虾等等，但是没有饭。我迫不及待地问太公：“怎么没有饭?”太公说：“今天中秋，要吃粉干。”我点点头，但还是不知为什么。

晚餐过后，我看了会儿电视。那时，天色渐渐暗了下来，一轮明月冉冉升起。但云儿不给它面子，把月亮遮住，只留下了一圈“光环”。

时间过得很快，我和妈妈要去教堂了，教堂在运河边。我走上霞湾桥，望着风平浪静的河面，看着月亮的倒影，感到一点儿悲伤。因为远在新疆的爸爸不能回来一起度过这美好的节日。我觉得我亲爱的爸爸一定在新疆思念我们吧。王维说的对，“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。”

一阵风拂过，河面漾起层层波纹，月影“破碎”了。皎洁的月光笼罩着大地，给大地铺上一层面纱。月亮再次进入云层时，妈妈把我带入了教堂。赏月就这样结束了，但我的思念还在泛滥。

徐徐凉风，

添了一股岁末的余香。

抬头的天蓝，

太阳也开始温柔她的光芒。

像是在抚我哀伤，

像是已了我惆怅。

秋天的裙摆，

是稻田里的一片金黄。

成熟在用喜悦分享，

而我还在路上。

只是我的胜利成了绝唱，

只是我的追求成了汪洋。

我只能用佳节祭祀，

祭祀月色的悲凉。

我只能焚尽星光，

烧干眼泪的猖狂。

我只能借助酒精的力量，

将毒药当作佳酿。

我只能将笑话当作真理，

来掩盖现实的锋芒。

我与童话里的人物成了同行，

而我的敌人娶了童话里的新娘。

我学着童话里的人开始流浪，

却无法将他乡变成故乡。

农历的八月十五日，是万家欢庆的中秋节。

当天晚上七点钟，我们一起到“金沙湾新城”，丽丽姐姐家的院子聚餐。大人们趁着明月还未升起，就生起炉子，准备吃饭了。过了一会儿，只见月亮像一位羞答答的小姑娘，从云层中露出圆圆的脸儿，皎洁的月光在深邃的夜空中显得分外明亮。丽丽姐姐捧着一大碗热气腾腾、色香味俱佳的美食出来，真是既饱眼福又饱口福。我去帮忙拿碗分给大人们，大人们不到一分钟三、两口就把碗中的东西吃完了。这时丽丽姐姐拿着麦克风对着大家宣布：“中秋聚餐活动现在开始！”大人们拿出鱿鱼、牛肉片、鸡翅膀、火腿肠……东西多得令人眼花缭乱。我们一边吃饭，一边望着天空，月色真令人陶醉。我们有说有笑，吃了月饼、葡萄、苹果……还喝了饮料，几乎把丽丽姐家能吃的东西统统吃光了。

然后，我们进了大厅，丽丽姐姐又宣布：“今晚既然是月圆之夜，大家每人都说七个字的句子，每句请都要带一个‘月’字好吗？”大家都异口同声地说：“好！”大家轮流说着：“中秋月儿圆又圆”、“一家赏月过中秋”……我大声说：“美满家庭比月圆！”欢乐的笑声不断，一直传到了九霄云外，连嫦娥仙子的目光都被吸引过来，她正羡慕地遥望着我们呢。

啊，今晚是个多么美满的中秋之夜啊！我多么希望明年中秋也能这样欢度啊！

It was early in the morning. The sun was just creeping(爬) out of the eastern horizon(地平线)and golden red was penetrating (穿透) through the white clouds and across the sky. The lakes,the trees and the bamboos looked as if they were all gilded. The ground was covered withtender grass, on whose blades some dew drops were glistening(晶莹剔透) under the sunshine.

Birds flew around the woods singing cheerfully and restlessly. Some boys were quietly joggingalong the path, while a couple of girls were reading aloud under the trees lining the bank of thelake.

A gentle breeze came up, wrinkling(使…起皱) the surface of the lake. It was really a beautiful andlively morning.
