有很多传统节日，端午节是我国古老的传统节日之一。端午节始于中国的春秋战国时期，至今已有2000多年历史。端午节的由来与传说很多，最为广泛流传的传说之一是源于纪念屈原。

屈原是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣。他倡导举贤授能，富国强兵，力主联齐抗秦，遭到贵族子兰等人的强烈反对，屈原遭馋言陷害被革职，并被赶出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中，写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等不朽诗篇，独具风貌，影响深远(因而，端午节也称诗人节)。公元前278年，秦军攻破楚国京都。屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国，于五月五日，在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后，抱石投汨罗江身死，以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

传说屈原死后，楚国百姓哀痛异常，纷纷涌到汨罗江边去凭吊屈原。渔夫们划起船只，在江上来回打捞他的真身。有位渔夫拿出为屈原准备的饭团、鸡蛋等食物，“扑通、扑通”地丢进江里，说是让鱼龙虾蟹吃饱了，就不会去咬屈大夫的身体了。人们见后纷纷仿效。一位老医师则拿来一坛雄黄酒倒进江里，说是要药晕蛟龙水兽，以免伤害屈大夫。后来为怕饭团为蛟龙所食，人们想出用楝树叶包饭，外缠彩丝，发展成棕子。

以后，在每年的五月初五，中国百姓家家都要浸糯米，洗粽叶包粽子，千百年来盛行不衰，还有了龙舟竞渡、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的风俗;以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。甚至传到了日本朝鲜及东南诸国。

怎么样，中国的传统文化多吧，还有书法儒学等等，自己去了解了解吧!

As is shown in the picture, two men had a big dinner in a restaurant, but much of the food was left and some was even untouched at all. When the waitress asked them to pack the remaining food, they felt very surprised, thinking that it was unbelievable for them to do things like that with too much money in their pocket.

It is a pity that many people act like the two men in the picture. In my view, we should pack the leftovers when we have meals outside. As we all know, saving is a fine tradition for our Chinese people and therefore we shouldn’t waste a bit food. Also, there is not enough food in the world and there are many people starving. In addition, we students should form the habit of saving food and give away some to the people in need. Finally, we have the responsibility to help people around us realize the importance of saving.

Only in this way can we build up an economized society and live a happy and healthy life.

如图片所示,两个男人在一家餐馆吃了丰盛的晚饭,但是剩下的食物和一些甚至没有。当服务员问他们打包剩下的食物,他们感到很惊讶,以为他们是不可思议的事情,用太多的钱在他们的口袋里。

遗憾的是,很多人就像照片中的两人。在我看来,我们应该把剩饭剩菜,当我们在外面吃饭。我们都知道,节约是我们中国人的优良传统,因此我们不应该浪费食物。同样,世界上没有足够的食物,有很多人挨饿。此外,我们学生应养成节约粮食的习惯和放弃一些有需要的人。最后,我们有责任帮助我们周围的人们意识到节约的重要性。

只有用这种方法我们才能建立一个节约型社会,过幸福健康的生活。

Away from the books to bring me heavy,away from the results brought me the blow,running, toward the field,enjoy nature, return to nature.

The golden fields are filled with this years grain bumper harvest.May be in this calm field,but came a uninvited guest:grasshopper.It is also known as locusts,will change the color of rice and change their own color,eating crops in the field.So the National Day holiday,I and my brother can not wait to come to the edge of the fields,line up sleeves, rolled up pants,rushed into the field, began to rectify the “pest”.

The fields are bouncing grasshopper everywhere,Gu got this only, and refused to take that only. Soon we will be exhausted.Helpless,I and my brother had to sit on the ridge,to discuss countermeasures.After the footsteps,we began to work together:I refer to the grasshopper where my brother caught the grasshopper, caught the grasshopper by me pulling off the spring-like legs,and then to watch.With a specific program, grasshopper immediately planted.Blink of an eye, a few grasshopper has become my playing things.I am leisurely to play,my brother struggling to catch the grasshopper in the field,he slowly unconvinced, sitting on the ridge,that must be with me to catch grasshopper.I can not say that he had to catch the grasshopper with him.

I looked at a grasshopper,quietly walked over, suddenly a beat,grasshopper has jumped to my head,my brother called me do not move,a slap on my head,but the grasshopper jumped to the His head,I retaliated for him,suddenly a beat,the grasshopper suddenly jumped into the field,blink of an eye, gone.But I and my brothers “hatred” but also offset.

Perhaps my mind is too narrow, God determined to give me a retribution:when we once again into the “war”, my feet were “hidden” up the soil stumbled twisted,I fell on the thick straw People all right,but the straw is down a large.Perhaps my screams alerted the owner, the owner flew out from the house, we turned and ran,and finally hid in a pile of weeds, escaped,but the mosquito bite a few packets.

This happened during the National Day is really interesting,I remember the golden river from the addition of a brilliant luster!

A bird in a cage, the free space is infinite, they like the frog in well spend in narrow space, not their own free life.

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom, I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet, as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad, you may hear this story? If I understand my heart, give me a piece of my own perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

Have you heard the story?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my ears. How I hope to have a free world!

关在鸟笼里的小鸟，自由的空间是无限的，它们就如井底之蛙，整天待在狭小的空间里，得不到属于自己的自由生活。

每每看到他们，便想到自己，便感到同命相怜。

每天待在自己的书房中，虽说书是我的伴侣，可以让我不敢到心中的空虚，但有时站到窗前，看见与我同龄的孩子在空地上玩耍，脸上露出甜美的微笑，心中别提有多羡慕了。

每天如此，我便看到书就心烦，头痛，我是多么渴望得到自由，我讨厌被人拘束，过自己想要的生活，该是多么完美呀!

“鸟儿有属于自己的天空，鱼儿有有属于自己的湖泊，草儿有属于自己的土地，花儿有属于自己的阳光，我为什么就不能有属于自己的生活呢?”我对天长叹，但老天只是我的一个诉说者，他又能为我达到什么呢?

自由，我是多么渴望得到自由，若有一天，我独自漫步在花香弥漫的旷野上，任风儿吹拂我的头发，任草儿在我的脚上摆动，任阳光照射在我的脸上，我始终是漫无天日地走着，当某年某日的时候我来到大海边，对着大海说出我的心事，捡起一个海螺对着它说出我的秘密，梦想有一天有人捡起它，慢慢地拿到耳畔倾听着我那诉说的故事，不知不觉地一传十，十传百，妈妈，爸爸，你们也会听到这个故事吗?是不是明白了我的心事，给我一片属于我自己的完美生活，给我那想要的自由?

你们听到了那个故事吗?

“有时，我也想要自由!”我大声地呐喊着，一阵阵的回音传入我的耳畔。我是多么希望有着自由的世界啊!

whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can’t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating “Zong Zi”. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn’t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn’t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine’s day, April Fool’s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it’s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch’s Day in Czech. People burned the witch’s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I’d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it’s really a big project. Then I’ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can’t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it’s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.

【参考译文】

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人，我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市，虽然我的城市在附近的海，它已经建立了一个U端口，我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃“Zong Zi”的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了Zong Zi。因为没有超市，我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而，现在，我们可以买任何东西在超市，所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中，年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日，如圣诞节、Saint Valentine节、四月的愚人节，也有些人在教堂庆祝复活节。说起端午节，它和一些国外的传统节日一样，比如捷克的女巫节。人们焚烧女巫的木偶以欢迎春天的到来。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日，因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然，外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定，端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山，这些旅游景点都在福建省，这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里装饰我的画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，这是一个非常大的项目。然后我会把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始，否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为这一点很难吸引他们，在这样一个炎热的季节。

小时候，总听妈妈给我讲屈原因为楚平王而投汨罗江，从此便有了端午节，我也似懂非懂地知道了：原来端午节是由屈原而产生的。

When I was a child, my mother told me to listen to Qu Yuan because Chuping Wang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguely know that the Dragon Boat Festival was produced by Qu Yuan.

相传屈原是一个爱国诗人，投江后，汨罗江畔的百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原的尸体，因此有了赛龙舟的习俗;百姓们把饭团等投入江中，因此有了吃棕子的习俗，百姓们把兄雄黄酒倒入江中，因此有了喝雄黄酒的习俗。

Legend has it that Qu Yuan is a patriotic poet, Jiang River, Miluo people have to recover Qu Yuans body, so there is the custom of the dragon boat race; people have the balls and into the river, so there is the custom of eating zongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drink realgar wine the custom.

记得前不久，我还了南湖边，看龙舟竞渡，那儿人山人海，一派热闹的景象，南湖边上围满了人，不用说他们就是来看龙舟竞赛的，只见不远处湖面上，停泊着大大小小的的龙舟，龙舟选手们严阵以待，不过一会儿就上了各自的龙舟，他们一个个精神抖擞，似乎真的是要打捞屈原。一眨眼的工夫，他们就开始了，随着“嘿咻嘿咻”的口号声。他们有节奏地划起龙舟，这使我不禁想象起了当时百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原时的情景……

I remember not long ago, I also see the South Lake, dragon boat races, there are huge crowds of people, a lively scene, South Lake surrounded with people, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lake park, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon on the boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In a blink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to draw from the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrieve his time......

August, September and October are the months of kites flying, because the wind blows north-westwards. During these months, many Wonderful kites are flying in the blue sky.

One day as the school was over, Qin Bo, my classmate, called me accompanying him to have kite flying at the big grass field. I had not been flown kite for a long time. So I promised him at last, when I reached there at five, I found him waiting for me.

Many boys were flying their kites higher in the sky. They were excited when they found their kites win another’s. They shouted with joy and jumped up and down.

His kite was wonderful. It was so light that it flow higher than the kites of all. He told me why my kite could not fly because it was maderoughly; the head was heavy, and the end was light, I agreed and made up my mind to make a new kne that would fly high in the sky.

农历五月初五是一年一度的端午节。这个节日是为了纪念中国伟大的爱国诗人屈原。为了纪念屈原，每家每户都会在这一天吃粽子、鸡蛋、彩带，举行龙舟比赛。

所以这一天，我起得很早。七点之前，我和爸妈来到松花江上等着龙舟的到来。许多孩子边跑边闹，还来看龙舟比赛。这时，河边已经挤满了人。不知道是谁喊出来的：“龙舟来了!”当我听到这个名声的时候，我看到了十五艘五颜六色的龙舟，和我一样向这个方向驶来。所有的龙船都有漂亮的鳞片，竖起的龙头威武有力，翘起的龙尾直指蓝天。每艘龙舟上整齐地坐着两排船夫，一排十个人。船上所有的队员都穿着他们自己的队服，戴着白帽子。前几艘龙舟在互相追逐，互相让路。龙舟激起的波浪飞得很高，很美。龙舟前有鼓手，有节奏的敲鼓。后面还有一个拿着小旗的玩家，喊着：“加油……”随着鼓声，参赛者使劲划水。前面是一艘绿色的龙舟。大家都觉得还可以，于是人们大喊：“加油，绿龙船!”听到人们的欢呼，这条绿色的龙舟似乎比以前划得更快了。后面几条龙舟也在后面不远的地方，相互追逐着。人们的欢呼和叫喊声此起彼伏。我也为青龙船加油。真的希望能帮上忙。

绿龙船快速前行，终于先冲过了终点线。大家欢欣鼓舞，欢呼雀跃，庆祝自己喜爱的龙舟胜利，每个人脸上都洋溢着喜悦!看完龙舟比赛，选手们单手划水，动作整齐一致，让我对团结就是力量这个道理有了更深的理解。一个人的力量是有限的，而集体的力量是无限的。

赛龙舟结束了，但我仍在追忆赛龙舟的激烈竞争，久久不能忘怀。

The Dragon boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous ricewrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats.The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.

龙舟节，也叫端午节，是在中国的农历五月初五这一天庆祝。千百年来，吃粽子(用竹叶或芦苇叶把糯米包裹起来，形成一个金字塔)和赛龙舟已经成为这个节日的标志。这个节日最出名的是龙舟赛，尤其是在有很多河流和湖泊的南方省份。这一划船比赛是为了纪念屈原的死，据说他是一位正直的大臣，他是投江自刎的。龙舟赛象征着拯救和恢复屈氏体的许多尝试。一艘典型的龙舟长度达50到100英尺不等，束长约5.5英尺，可容纳两个桨手并排坐。

Duanwu Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, its commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头)。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day," due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown(名声名望)。

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

Every person needs sleep everyday. But with the high development of

society, most people have more and more things to do and have less time to

sleep. As a result, many people are lack of sleep. For a short time, they may

not realize the bad side of it, but it will bring something bad for them after a

long term. First of all, lack of sleep will do harm to people’s look. If they do

not sleep enough, they will get black eyes and bad skin easily, which will make

people look no so beautiful. Secondly, lack of sleep is bad for the spiritual

outlook. A person who lacking of sleep always looks tired and has no power to do

things. Last, not enough sleep for a long time will have bad influence of

thought. They always can’t be active in mind.

There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examinations. Some people think that examinations can help them review the lessons regularly, while others maintain that too many examinations have frustrated them.

To me, I think an examination is a good thing for both teachers and students. Teachers can find out how much the students have grasped and then improve their teaching; students, on the other hand, will learn what their weak points are and then study even harder.

All in all, we should not waste time arguing whether examinations are good or not. What we should do is to try to improve the exam system and try to adjust it to our different requirements.

这个节日的由来逝代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

One sunny afternoon, when I was merrily riding home, I heard "Help! Help!".

一个晴朗的午后，当我开心地骑车回家时，我听到（有人喊）“救命！救命！”。

I rode to the riverside and found a boy of about five in the river struggling. I jumped into the water, swam to the boy and dragged him to the river bank. The boy said he was trying to catch a fish near the river bank and carelessly fell into the water. I asked him where his home was and sent him home.

我（赶紧）骑到河边，发现一个大约5岁的男孩在河里挣扎。我（马上）跳进水里，游向男孩，并把他拖到岸边。男孩说他（刚刚）是在河边试着抓鱼，（后来），一不小心就掉进水里了。我要到了他家地址，并送他回家。

"Thank you very much!" The boys parents said, when I left his home. Though I got home late that afternoon, I was very happy.

一当我要离开他们家的时候，那个男孩的父母说：“非常谢谢你！”尽管在那个下午，我回家晚了，但我还是很开心的。

赛龙舟是端午节的一种独特的民俗活动,这个活动的起因是为纪念我国古代时的一伟大的诗人——屈原而设立的。

我今年有幸去看了一次赛龙舟，因为爸爸当天正好有空，所以我们全家去看赛龙舟。到达赛龙舟的场地时，岸两边早已被围观的人们围得水泄不通了，我看了桥上的一个空挡，便叫家人挤了过去。这个位置居高临下整个江面一目了然。

赛龙舟开始了，每只龙舟都像一支离弦的箭，一个劲的向前冲，每一只龙舟下面都都绑着不少粽子，每向前一步，龙舟上都有人用刀子把粽子斩下扔进水里。每只龙舟的速度都不分上下：一会儿1号领先，不一会儿8号又追上了。

I always care so much about the food I eat, because my stomach is a little

week, so I can’t eat the junk food all the time. The healthy food makes me keep

fit so I eat it. Vegetable is very important, we should eat it every meal. The

fruit contains a lot of vitamins, it is in need. The fish is best for me.

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What’ s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization. Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

食物之于身体,所以学习思想。我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达的摄入足够的营养的食物。同样地,我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力,并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料,来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断。持续的学习是最可靠的方法与时俱进在信息时代,也是在变动的时代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止,植被。这是一个常见的谬误作为学校知识的唯一场所。相反地,学习应该是一个永无止境的过程,从摇篮到坟墓。与世界变化的如此之快,停止学习几天就将使人落后。什么更糟的是,蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的动物本能就会复活,削弱我们追求我们高贵的想法,破坏我们决心扫除障碍我们的成功和扼杀我们渴望的细化我们的品格。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞,甚至更糟的是,它的僵化。因此,为了保持心理年轻,我们必须将学习作为终身职业。
