关于端午节的英语作文七年级【经典20篇】

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen

into a state of fragmentation and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for

several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to

carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the

victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.

Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man,

he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant

corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other

officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin

Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service.

In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou

had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the

Milou River. His last poem reads:

Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,Grieving that I was born in such an

unlucky time.I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,And waited for

the wind to come,to sour up on my journey

As he was so loved by the people, fishermen rushed out in long boats,

beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zong zi into the water to

feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuans body.

The Modern Dragon Boat Festival started from that time to this day, people

commemorated Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several

other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month.

Dragon Boat races are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing

crowds of spectators. Dragon Boats are generally brightly painted and decorated

canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their heads are shaped

like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns end with a scaly tail. Depending on

the length, up to 80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-catcher stand

at the front of the boat. Before a dragon boat enters competition, it must be

"brought to life" by painting the eyes in a sacred ceremony. Races can have any

number of boats competing, with the winner being the first team to grab a flag

at the end of the course. Annual races take place all over China, Hong Kong,

Macao, Taiwan, and other overseas Chinese communities.

端午节真是一个有趣的传统节日!

Dragon Boat Festival is an interesting festival!

Duanwu Festival (端午节, Duānwū Jié) 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(引用;引证) 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 (c. 340 BC-278 BC) 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.

段的确切起源吴尚不清楚,但传统的观点认为,这个节日是纪念中国诗人屈原(c。公元前340年-公元前278年)的战国时期。他在河流溺水自杀,因为他是由楚的腐败政府厌恶。当地的人,知道他是一个好人,决定把食物扔进河里喂鱼,所以他们不会吃屈原的尸体。他们还坐在长,狭窄的桨船称为龙舟,试图吓跑鱼船上的轰鸣声鼓上雕刻和激烈的龙头船的船首(船头)。

段在中国早期的共和国,吴也被誉为“诗人”,由于屈原是中国第一个诗人的个人声望(名声名望)。

今天,人们吃bamboo-wrapped蒸糯米(粘的)粽子叫做粽子(食品最初打算喂鱼)和种族龙舟纪念屈原的戏剧性的死亡。

导语：端午节那天人们都会举行划龙舟活动，你对这项活动有什么了解的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination.

Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuans body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as Chinas Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."

划龙舟是端午节不可缺少的一部分，在全国各地举行。当枪被发射时，人们会看到在龙形独木舟中的运动员们在快速的鼓声中快速和谐地拉着桨，向着目的地飞驰而去。

民间故事说游戏来源于寻找屈原的尸体，但专家的活动，经过艰苦细致的研究，得出这样的结论：赛龙舟是一种半宗教半娱乐性的节目从战国时期(公元前475-221)。在以后的几千年里，游戏传播到日本、越南、英国以及中国的台湾和香港。龙舟运动已发展成为具有中国传统和现代体育精神的水上运动项目。1980，它被列入国家体育竞赛项目，此后每年举行。该奖项被称为“屈原杯。”

Green benefits more, it is much, this is the layman, but it how? What good?

On the earth, whether people or animals, no matter how much you if you want to survive, you must absorb a large number of oxygen, emit large amounts of carbon dioxide at the same time. But the earth is originally stored oxygen is limited, and there are not many, so oxygen should run out in N years ago, oxygen and from where to now? That is about to rely on the green plants.

Green plants can be in the sun for photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. Research shows that: each plants grow a ton, can produce five tons of oxygen. Absorb one ton of carbon dioxide per hectare of forest land every day, 0.735 tons of oxygen; Grass absorbs 0.9 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day per hectare, produce 0.6 tons of oxygen. So do not have oxygen on earth, as long as there is green in the city can also have the fresh air.

绿化好处多，实在是多，这是妇孺皆知的事情，可它究竟多在哪呢?又有什么好处呢?

在地球上，无论人或动物，无论你多厉害你要想生存下去就必须吸收大量的氧气，同时放出大量的二氧化碳。可地球是原本储存的氧气是有限的，而且并不多，这样氧气早该在N年前就用光了，现在的氧气又从哪里来呢?那就要靠绿色植物了。

绿色植物可以在阳光下进行光合作用，吸收二氧化碳，产生氧气。研究表明：植物每生长一吨，可产生五吨氧。每公顷林地每天的吸收一吨二氧化碳，产生0.735吨氧气;每公顷草地每天可吸收0.9吨二氧化碳，产生0.6吨氧气。这样一来地球上不就有氧气了，城市中只要有绿化带也可以有清新的空气了。

Dragon Boat race Traditions

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

Tzung Tzu

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

Ay Taso

The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Qu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn.

在写初一英语作文的时候仔细看清写作要求和提示，分清材料的主次，接着确定体裁、格式和人物、地点等要素;最后确定时态，同时考虑相关的语态搭配用法。

三、遣词造句、表达规范

初一英语作文用词要恰当，不可逐句把提示翻译成英语。写作时，应尽量选用你最熟悉、最有把握的词和句型来表达思想。如果有些单词不会些，有些句型不会表达，可以设法绕开，用熟悉的同义词、同义短语或同义句来代替。要学会善于运用适当的关联词，如and, or, but, so，because, since等，以使初一英语作文行文逻辑紧密，自然流畅。

四、认真撰写，卷面整洁

初一英语考试中也会有初一英语作文题，如果时间允许，书面表达一定要先写草稿。在抄写入答题卷前，要先进行检查修改。首先检查所写内容是否切题;之后检查主题是否明确，表达方式是否恰当;最后检查所用时态、语态、人称是否符合要求，前后是否一致。

从甜甜的睡梦中醒来，我伸了伸懒腰，一想到今天是端午节。我兴奋得从床上蹦了起来，冲到厨房里找妈妈。

“妈妈，今天是端午节，我可是要吃粽子的呀!”一进厨房，我就嚷到。只见妈妈像变魔术似的，从袋子里“变”出了一串又肥又大的粽子。那粽子散发出阵阵浓香，把我馋得“口水直流三千尺”，巴不得马上就拿一个来解解馋。

妈妈就像我肚子里的小蛔虫，指着我的小鼻子说：“小馋猫，我现在就弄点给你吃。”妈妈用剪刀剪开扎着粽子的绳子，剥开包着的两层竹叶片。粽子像跳水运动员翻了个身，落在妈妈早已准备好的碗里。一块色香味俱全的粽子呈现在我眼前，只见那粽子是黑红黑红的，上面点缀着黑色的蘑菇，又白又红的肉，白色的鸡蛋，粒粒糯米，就像颗颗小小的珍珠。这些糯米你粘着我，我粘着你，就像七兄弟。

我秋风扫落叶般，不管三七二十一，大口大口地吃了起来，不一会儿，粽子就被我扫了个精光。

我还觉得不过瘾，还想再吃一个，就对妈妈说：“妈妈，再来一个粽子。”妈妈看了看我，突然哈哈大笑起来，笑得连眼泪都流了出来，我看妈妈笑成了一团，摸不着头脑，跑到镜子前一看，呀，我就像马戏团里的小丑，成了个大花脸。甚至连眉毛也不能“幸免于难”。我连忙用毛巾把脸洗了一干二净。

我又重新回到桌子上，津津有味地吃起第二个粽子。

这个端午节真有趣!
