端午节的高一英语作文【经典20篇】

When people start to set the goal, they will think about the result immediately, of course they want to get the best result. If people can predict the result, most of them will give up by knowing the unsuccessful ending. It seems that if the result is bad, what people work for is meaningless. Well, in my opinion, the process of fighting for the goal is much more important than the result. When we fight for our goal, we will do our best and try to improve ourselves, even we fail in the end, but when we look back at the beginning, we can find that we are no longer the childish ones, we have grown up and become mature. What’s more, on the process of fighting, we get close to success, as the saying that fail is the mother of success. So don’t treat the result so serious, just enjoy the process.

当人们开始定目标，他们会立刻想到结果，当然他们想要得到最好的结果。如果人们能够预知结果，他们大部分人会因为知道失败的结果而不去尝试。似乎如果结果是坏的，人们所做的努力就会没有意义。然而，在我看来，为目标而奋斗的过程比结果重要得多。当我们为了目标而奋斗的时候，会努力做到最好，尝试提高自己，即使最终失败，但是在我们回望开始的时候，就会发现我们不再是那个天真的自己，我们已经长大，变得成熟。而且，在奋斗的过程中，我们离成功也近了一步，正如有句话叫失败是成功之母。因此不要把结果看得那么严重，享受过程就好。

农历五月初五,俗称“端午节”,端是“开端”、“初”的意思。初五可以称为端五。农历以地支纪月,正月建寅,二月为卯,顺次至五月为午,因此称五月为午月,“五”与“午”通,“五”又为阳数,故端午又名端五、重五、端阳、中天、重午、午日,此外一些地方又将端午节称之为五月节、艾节、夏节。从史籍上看,“端午”二字最早见于晋人周处《风土记》：“仲夏端午,烹鹜角黍”。端午节是我国汉族人民的传统节日。这一天必不可少的活动逐渐演变为：吃粽子,赛龙舟,挂菖蒲、艾叶,薰苍术、白芷,喝雄黄酒。据说,吃粽子和赛龙舟,是为了纪念屈原,所以解放后曾把端午节定名为“诗人节”,以纪念屈原。至于挂菖蒲、艾叶,薰苍术、白芷,喝雄黄酒,则据说是为了压邪。

在我儿时的记忆中,除了春节以外就数端午节最为热闹了,由于父母工作都很忙,小时候我常常跟外婆一起呆在乡下.那时的端午节使我难以忘怀.

与平时的过年过节一样,在端午节的前一天晚上,外婆总会让我乖乖坐在床边,给我讲一些过节的规矩,例如“不许乱说话““不许偷吃冷粽子”“不许与小伙伴打闹”“不许玩水”……我总是批频频地点头.外婆就让我早早睡下,好让明天能有个好精神.

早晨,我早早地就起床了,穿好衣服就先奔向厨房,此时外婆已把厨房里的一切都打理好了,灶台上绑着几捆桂叶和桂绳,白白嫩嫩的糯米静静地躺在盛满水的小木桶中,像一粒粒晶莹的珍珠,灶台上放着的几个小碟,里面盛着各种各样的料：有花生、有豆沙、有肉、有红塘.

于是,我就坐在桌上一边 吃着早饭一边看着外婆忙碌着.

乡下的灶台是两边的,一边用来烧水,一边用来煮菜煮饭,外婆就把早已洗干净的鸭蛋放入大锅里,用木瓢从另一个热水锅里舀几瓢水放入大锅中,然后还细心地放入一小勺的盐,接着就往灶里添了几根枯枝,便坐在了我旁边,开始给我编络子了.

外婆的手由于长期劳动已经粗糙的像树皮一般了,但却不失灵巧,三下五除二一个用红绳编成的络子就编成了.

此时,蛋也煮好了,外婆就捞起一个最大的用红纸沾水染成了红色,再用干布擦拭干净,装进络子里,挂在我脖子上.接着,外婆就往我兜里装着瓜子、糖果、花生,我往往十分高兴,因为这样,我就可以和小伙伴们一起去看龙舟赛了.

外婆总是把我送到大门口,嘱咐着要我快些回来吃粽子.我总是一溜烟就消失了.

小伙伴们此时都差不多到齐了,由邻家的大姐姐当头,领着我们这一群小毛孩到河边看赛龙舟.由于河道较小,所以就只有两条的龙舟,每条龙舟都有13个人,12个人划桨,1个人打鼓喊口号,“一、二、嘿呦,一、二、快、”12个皮肤黝黑的小伙子动作整齐地划着,两条龙舟你追我赶地向前驶去.

可是,小孩子会知道看什么呢?我们只不过图个热闹罢了.女孩子一般看了一会儿,便觉得无趣了,就坐在一旁分享起零嘴,男孩子呢,则不然,他们总喜欢沿着岸边追着龙舟跑,由于划桨的人力度较大,几乎每个男孩身上都有水花溅着的痕迹.

锣响了,大概是舟到终点了吧,刚好东西也吃完了,站起身,与伙伴们拉着手高高兴兴回家去.

太阳也慢慢爬到正空中,外婆家的厨房里已经飘出了桂叶的清香了,我就连忙蹿进厨房里,去挑已出锅的个大的粽子.一般我都会坐在门槛上把那个粽子吃得干干净净,偶尔会剩下几颗糯米粒给鸡吃,看着大公鸡的贪吃样,我也被逗乐了……尽管如今过端午节,母亲每年都会包粽子,编络子给我,尽管母亲的手艺一点也不比外婆逊色,但我总觉得少了些什么.

“五月五，是端阳。插艾叶，戴香囊。吃粽子，撒白糖。龙船下水喜洋洋。”每当我听到这首儿歌，就想起了小时候过端午节时热闹的场面。

Five, "May is Dragon Boat Festival. Inserted Artemsia argyi, wearing sachet. Eat rice dumplings, sprinkle sugar. Shimizu Kiyoyo dragon boat. " Whenever I hear this song, think of the scene lively little during the Dragon Boat festival.

端午节是为了纪念投汩罗江而死的爱国诗人屈原。赛龙舟不为了捞救屈原。把粽子投进江里，是为让鱼蛟虾蟹吃饱了，不再去吃屈原的遗体。经过很长时间的演变，往江里投粽子渐渐变成了农历五月初五这天吃粽子。

The Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the Miluo River to die of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Dragon boat racing to fishing to save Qu Yuan. Threw rice dumplings into the river, is to let the fish Jiao crab had eaten enough, not to eat his body. After a very long time evolution, to the river throwing dumplings became May in Chinese lunar calendar day to eat dumplings.

端午又称重五，所以许多习俗和“五”这个数字联系在一起。用红、黄、蓝、白、黑五色丝红系在儿童的脖颈、手腕或足踝上，称长命缕。各家要插“五端”：菖蒲、艾草、石榴花、蒜头、龙船花。南方过端午节时，要吃“五黄”：黄鱼、黄瓜、咸鸭、蛋黄、黄豆瓣包的粽子，喝雄黄酒。

Ah, I really like the Dragon Boat Festival!

Nowadays, football has become one of the most popular entertainment sports for human beings. In the daily life, people ranging from kids to adults play football when they have spare time. It can help people relax and gain a healthy body. But not too many people know the special meaning of December 9th every year. It is World Football Day. It is because of the demonstration of students in December 9th, 1935. Under the leadership and organization of China Communist Party and leadership, Peiping Students Federation leading the students in Peiping city, which was more than 6000 held demonstrations. The students shouted the slogans of “overthrow Japanese imperialism,” "stop the civil war, and close ranks". Their demonstration resulted in a new upsurge of nation-wide Anti-Japanese Democratic Movement. In order to memorize this student movement, the United Nations made December 9th as World Football Day in 1978.

如今，足球已经成为最受人们欢迎的娱乐体育运动之一。在日常生活中，从小孩到大人有空的时候都会踢踢足球。它可以帮助人们放松，获得健康。但却没多少人知道每年的十二月九日的特别意义。这一天是世界足球日。这是源于1935年12月9日的学生游行。在中国共产党的组织和领导下，北平市学生联合会率领北平市6000多名学生举行示威游行。学生们高呼“打倒日本帝国主义”，“停止内战，一致对外”等口号。他们的示威引起了了全国人民抗日民主运动的新高潮。为了纪念此次学生运动，联合国于1978年把12月9日定为世界足球日。

每年的五月初五，是我国的传统节日——端午节。端午节，又叫端阳节、正阳节、龙舟节……

之所以有了端午节是因为在古代，有一位爱国诗人---屈原，因为他心怀国家，正直大义，常常被一些小人陷害，那些小人在楚怀王身边诬陷屈原，使得楚怀王不再信任这位忠臣，最后把他流放到了城外。被赶出家乡的屈原，看到祖国山河破碎，心里悲愤交加。于是绑上石头纵身跳入汨罗江中。老百姓知道后纷纷划船打捞屈原的尸体，捞了好久还是没有捞到，老百姓们害怕小鱼和小虾吃掉屈原的尸体，就把自己家用米包好的粽子纷纷投进河里，想让小鱼小虾吃掉这些粽子，不吃屈原的尸体。

后来人们为了纪念屈原，便把这一天定为端午节。端午节吃粽子的习俗也由此而来。

在我的家乡泾川，端午节最流行的习俗除了吃粽子，就是带荷包了。在每年端午节的前夕，县城街道会有很多卖荷包的摊点，与其说买，看荷包倒更让人乐在其中。荷包精美、种类繁多，有机器制成的还有纯手工制作的。妈妈每年最喜欢带着我去看一位老奶奶的纯手工荷包了，憨乎乎的小老虎、栩栩如生的蛇蝎、金丝线勾边的公鸡、绣着五毒的青蛙……她说这种手工艺品以后就会慢慢失传，所以显得格外珍贵，每年去我们都会挑一些买回家珍藏起来。荷包寓意驱邪保安康，到了端午节那天，妈妈大清早就会为我们姐弟三人准备好要带的荷包和五彩花绳，希望我们平安快乐地成长。

端午节还有吃粽子、挂艾草、赛龙舟等习俗。随着时代发展，粽子也变得形式多样，豆沙陷的，红枣陷的，蛋黄陷的，肉馅的……应有尽有。挂艾草对于我来说就更神奇了，听大人们说，小小一捆艾草放在门口竟然可以防蚊虫，去毒气。看来这万千世界，我需要学习和了解的常识还有很多呢。

端午节让我们了解到了伟大的屈原，还在每年过节的时候掌握到了更多端午节的习俗，更多地是感受到了亲人的关爱和我们对生活的热爱。我喜爱节日，更喜爱这样充满仪式感的传统节日。

The Dragon boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

Overall, the Dragon boat Festival is very interesting!

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!

The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice)。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage. ​

随着网络的广泛发展，上网已经成为我们生活的一部分。我们通过网络和朋友交流，结交新朋友，随着认识人的途径变得容易，人们喜欢通过电脑结交朋友。经常两个陌生人通过网络认识，经过一段时间的交流，觉得聊得很来。所以他们在网上确立了恋爱关系。这样的情况在今天经常发生。据报道，很多年轻人沉溺于网恋，一些人在和网友见面的时候受到伤害。正如两个年轻人素未谋面，他们告诉彼此的经常不是真的，可能其中一个是坏人，他可能是想要钱，和这样的人见面是很危险的。青少年是网恋的主要受害者，因为他们年轻无知，青少年应该小心使用网络。

“五月五，是端阳，插艾叶，戴香囊，吃粽子，撒白糖，龙船下水喜洋洋!”当耳边再次响起了这首有趣的童谣时，一年一度的端午节也随之到来。

说起端午节，我随即便想到了一个传说：相传战国时期，楚国因为楚平王而日渐衰落，终于有一天，秦国攻破了楚国，爱国诗人屈原不忍心看着楚国迫灭而自己却无能为力!最后投江自尽。老百姓们伤心欲绝，一个个划船来打捞屈原的尸体，却没能捞到。于是，百姓便将糯米团等扔进了江里，希望鱼儿吃饱后可以不啃食屈原的户尸体。到了后来，划鱼船变成了赛龙舟，糯米团成了包粽子。这，便是端午节的由来。

既然端午节到了，自然少不了激动人心，考验团结合作与毅力的赛龙舟!我兴奋极了!

赛龙舟的现场彩旗招展，热闹非凡!桥上、人行道上、亭子里，都早已人山人海!我费了九牛二虎之力，好不容易才挤进人群。

“啪”随着发号员的一声令下，扣人心弦的龙舟大赛开始了：北斗七星队如同猛虎下山一般，一开场，就将其他队伍甩的远远的，不知北斗七星队能否将这股气势保持到最后呢?“看”飞鹰队也因沉不住气而爆发了。他逐渐跟上了北斗七星队，与他并肩同步，用尽一切力量向前划去。而另外的两队--冠军与兄弟同心队却还是心平气和地划着，过了五分之四的路程后，北斗七星与飞鹰队渐渐体力不支，而冠军队与兄弟同心队就在这时赶了上来，并超过了他们。最后一段路了，两队都你争我赶，不分上下。十米，八米，六米，四米，近了，更近了，兄弟同心队原本已领先二米的距离。可是，在最后十米时，冠军队的速度突然增加了一倍多!以微弱的优势胜过了兄弟同心队。原来，冠军队一开始就把人分为了两组，轮流每组花十分之一的距离，在最后关头其中一组得到了充分的休息，再加上两组齐心协力一起划自然就获得了胜利!

端午节就在一片欢声笑语中度过了。等我长大了，也一定要来一次龙舟大赛!

你知道这个节日的起源吗?阅读下面的文章,你会有一个明确的端午节的照片。

5月的第五天农历年的对中国人民是一个重要的一天。段叫做吴节的第二天,端午节,在中国各地庆祝。

这个节日可以追溯到大约2000年前的传说解释它的起源。最著名的故事集中在一个伟大的爱国诗人叫屈原。

海关在不同地区不同,但大多数家庭将挂的照片中亏(鬼能驱走),菖蒲和艾自己的房子。人们有龙舟比赛,吃粽子(饺子糯米包在竹叶或芦苇叶)和随身携带一个香料袋。

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on

the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This

festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and

statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It

symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these

races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous

rice). Zongzi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and

wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong

zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for

protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy

herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the

significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives

the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural

heritage.

端午节，又称为端午节，定在第五个月的第五天据中国日历。这个节日是为了纪念屈原的死，一个忠厚老实的诗人和政治家据说在河流溺水自杀。

这个节日最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。它象征着人们的努力救屈原。在当前时期，这些比赛也证明合作和团队合作的优点。

此外，节日还被吃的粽子(糯米)。粽子是糯米做的塞满了不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人哀悼屈原的死亡把粽子扔进河里喂他的鬼魂。

随着时代的变化，纪念转向防止邪恶和疾病是一个时间的。人们会把健康的草药挂在前门清理房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同，它仍然使观察者看到的机会丰富的中国文化遗产的一部分。

端午吃粽子，是我国的重要民俗，在端午节包粽子、吃粽子应该说是非常重要事了。其实，我国几乎所有的传统节日，都或多或少和“食”有关，中国有句古话，叫“民以食为天”，欢度节日是老百姓的情感的集中表达，尤其中国的节日，浓浓的文化中与“食文化”紧密地联系在一起，每一种传统节日都有它特定的“食物”，可以说，吃什么“食物”就能知道在过什么个节日;如中秋吃月饼，元宵节包饺子，过年做年糕等等。

最普遍的最浓烈的最有人情味的，应该是包粽子、吃粽子了吧，因为粽子家家都要包的，所以每当端午节来临的前两天，去割“胶股”妇女，可谓是浩浩荡荡。“胶股”叶割回来之后，修刺、水浸清洗，再煲熟叶子!然后就淘糯米、泡绿豆等，接着就利用休闲的时间来包粽子了;一般包粽子都是妇女的活，因为女性心灵手巧，包出来的棕子也是精巧好看，当然小孩子就不分男女了，由于好奇，也来凑热闹，不过，也因碍事，常常被大人们笑着赶走了。女性们常常把对生活的爱、对家人的爱全都包进粽子里，所以吃粽子，其实在享受浓浓的亲情和爱。现在人们的生活节奏加快了，不仅在城市，就是在农村，家家包粽子的现象似乎不见了，有好一些人家都是从商场里卖一些现成的粽子回家，来应付一下过节的孩子，来解一下馋吧。

现在可能有很多的年轻人不会包粽子了，这多少让人感到有点遗憾。

如今，吃棕子，也不大赶节时上吃了，一年到头，商店或超市都有现成的卖，而且有各种缓式样的包装、粽肉的味道也多种多样。但我还是比较喜欢吃家乡的粽子，尤其是在糯米里加些许的花生或鸭蛋什么的，虽然做法很简单，但吃起来非常爽口纯净，没有油腻感;也有糯米里什么也不放，这种纯糯米包的粽子，吃起来有原始古朴的感觉，特别有劲道。

端午，我们一边在品尝着清香的棕子，同时又在品尝着中华民族的悠久灿烂的文化，这种享受让人特别的惬意啊。
