晚上我们全家聚在一起，奶奶还给我煮了香香的玉米棒，太晚了我尝了一点！那天下雨了，所以晚上也没见到月亮。但是每个人心里很高兴！

第二天我吃过饭还去了爷爷负责工作的地方。就在村子旁边，我看到了好多的羊，有的是黑色的，有的是白色的，有的在吃草，有的在休息，有的抬起头还看着，好像和我打招呼，我就和它们照了相片。有一个小羊把它的耳朵甩来甩去，好像摆酷酷的姿势呢！

老家真好玩！大家都很热情高兴！我们第二天就回来了，因为妈妈说还有作业要完成呢！这个节日过得真开心！祝福我的亲人们永远健康！永远开心！

每一次过端午节的时候，我们大家都回去买粽子吃，吃粽子，今天我就要跟妈妈来学习一下包粽子。过端午节的时候吃上自己包的粽子，而且，我们休息的这几天，爸爸妈妈都上班很累，在家的时候我就可以自己给爸爸妈妈为个人包一个大大的粽子给他们吃，让他们吃上我自己包的香喷喷的粽子。

今天我的妈妈休息一天，我就要和妈妈学习包粽子。

首先妈妈先带我去了超市，买了一袋子的糯米，和芦苇叶、和红枣，东西买完了，我们就把包小包的带回了家，妈妈先把糯米和红枣洗干净了，再把芦苇叶在水里泡了泡，准备工作就一起住备好了。

包粽子的时候，妈妈做什么，我就跟着妈妈做什么。首先先把芦苇叶卷成一个漏斗形状的图案把米往里面塞，不是还有往里面塞红枣，塞完以后，就再拿一片芦苇叶，两片芦苇叶把这个漏斗缠起来，在那一根线把它缠住，一个完美的粽子就做好了，这时，我看看我手里的粽子，再看看妈妈手里的粽子，简直就是天壤之别，妈妈包的粽子比我包的好无数倍。

过了一会，妈妈把我和她的粽子放入了锅中煮，半个小时以后粽子熟了，我包的粽子都烂了，都变成了稀饭，而我妈包的粽子好好的，看来我以后还有好好的向妈妈学习包粽子。

过端午节的那一天，我又让爸爸妈妈吃上我自己亲手包的香喷喷的粽子。

早上我和爸爸妈妈、姑姑叔叔，还有小弟弟一起回老家和爷爷奶奶团聚，一路上我逗弟弟玩的很开心。回到家我跟爷爷和姐姐到白石崖村看望舅奶奶，舅奶奶家有一个枣树园，她给我们摘了很多鲜枣，有青的.、有红的，个个又大又圆，吃起来又脆又甜。下午，我们带着枣回到爷爷家，姑姑叔叔都争着抢着吃，姑姑还抱怨我带的太少，怎么不把袋子装满呢。看他们那样子，我很高兴。叔叔又带我到房顶摘石榴、摘柿子，奶奶还给我们包了饺子，一家人坐在院子里吃水果、吃月饼、吃饺子逗小弟弟玩共享天伦之乐。爷爷、奶奶很高兴，我们大家都很开心。

多么快乐的一个中秋节啊!

There has been a long time for my family not to go out for the activity, because my father is busy all the time. But last week, my father finally finished his project, so that he could take a rest for some time.

My father advised us to go to the zoo, I was so excited, because I hadn’t seen many animals in my life.

In the zoo, there were so many people, it was so lively.

I saw the monkey, the giraffe and so on.

I saw these animals in the TV usually, but I saw them in front of me that day. The peacock impressed me so much, it looked homely when it laid down the ground, but when it stood up and opened the wings, it was so gorgeous. People said peacock was proud, indeed, it would not please people. I had a good time in the zoo.

对于我的家人来说，我们已经有很长一段时间没有外出活动了，因为爸爸总是很忙。

但是上周，我的爸爸终于完成了他的项目，所以他能休息一段时间。爸爸建议我们去动物园，我很兴奋，因为我目前还没有看到过很多动物。在动物园里，有很多人，非常热闹。我看到了猴子，长颈鹿等等。我平常在电视上看到这些动物，但是那天我亲眼看到了。

孔雀给我的印象很深刻，在它躺在地上的时候，看起来很普通，但是当它站起来，打开翅膀，是那么的美丽。人们说孔雀是傲慢的，确实，它不会取悦人们。在动物园里我度过了一段美好的时光。

[中秋节的英语作文范本

As is vividly depicted from the above picture，it seems to be astonishing and thought-provoking on second thoughts. The most eye-catching feature in the picture that impresses me profoundly is that incredibly even the pet dog wears a mask to prevent the terrible smog and haze. As a matter of fact, recent years has witnessed a severe air-pollutionphenomenon triggered by automobile gas emission and industrial exhaust, which will definitely bedisastrous to individual survival and personal development.

It goes without saying that the problem of hazy weather should be attached great importance to by the government and the consequences should be taken into profound consideration. To account for the above-mentioned air-pollution phenomenon, a couple of severe reasons should be pointed out. On the one hand , the severely polluted air industrial wastes have been pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers and an increasing number of automobiles crowd into the streets and produce the gas emission. On the other hand, the widespread use of plastic bags and coal burning as well as the nationwide construction dust have been pumped into the air from time to time.

As a matter of fact, the smog and haze not only does harm to the lungs and noses but alsogives rise to horrible traffic accidents. In addition, no issue is as harmful as theenvironmental deterioration, which will be a potential threat to the survival of human beings that we are unwilling to see. Just according to a recent survey made by one Morning News, more than 40 percent of Chinese cities are suffering from the hazy weather per year.

As a result, it is essential that a couple of effective measures should be taken to prevent the environmental pollution. To start with, the local government should take more steps, such as closing the factories which produced too much industrial exhaust, planting more trees and develop more high-tech products so that air quality can be better and the weather can be more agreeable. In addition, the government should severely punish those who destroy the environment intentionally. Last but not least, it is urgent to limit the number of private cars in the urban cities and we should adopt the most cutting-edge technologies with a view to creating more energy substitutes instead of the petroleum. Only by the above-mentioned pragmatic measures can we enjoy better health and live a more comfortable life.

正如上图生动描述的一样，这幅图片既让你吃惊又发人深省。其中最吸引人眼球的是一只宠物狗带着口罩来预防雾霾。事实上，近年来，由汽车尾气和工业污染引起的严重的空气污染已经对人们的生存和发展造成了灾难性的影响。

毋庸置疑的是，雾霾天气的问题应该引起政府部门的极大重视，其造成的后果也应该引起我们深思。造成这种空气污染现象的原因有这么几条。一方面，严重污染的工业废气被直接排放到大气中，湖中及河中，街道上不断增加的汽车也排放出汽车废气。另一方面，到处可见的塑料袋，煤炭燃烧产生的污染，全国性的建筑垃圾也一直在污染我们的空气。

事实上，雾霾不仅对我们的肺和鼻子有伤害，也是造成可怕的交通事故的原因之一。另外，我们所不愿意见到是没有什么比环境恶化更能造成对我们人类的生存的威胁了。根据晨报的最新一项调查，超过百分之四十的中国城市每年都遭受着雾霾的污染。

我们必须采取有效的措施来阻止环境的污染。首先，当地政府应该采取措施，例如，关闭一些产生工业废气比较多的工厂，多种树，多发展高科技的产品来使空气的质量更高，天气更宜人。另外，政府还应该严惩那些故意破坏环境的人。最后，限制私家车的数量也是当务之急，我们应该采用最先进的科技创造更多的替代石油的能源。只有做到上述几点，我们才能更健康，生活更舒适。

Sky blue, white clouds, there is a lake, the lake side, there are several willow willow girl gently stroked the lake brothers cheek. From a few bird crow, originally is the orioles singing in the willows; In the distance, several egrets fly in the blue sky. as du fu "two oriole sound cui willow, a line of egrets on the sky." Ah! What a beautiful artistic conception! Now most people aspire to the living environment, but with the development of the industry, a large number of harmful gas and industrial wastewater discharge, make the earths temperature, water pollution. Plus deforestation, forest is less and less, and the earth mother in tears every day, so were going to action, and low carbon environmental protection together, let the earth mother no longer cry, to return to the beautiful youth.

NO. 1 - dont be lazy, blindly now peoples environmental protection consciousness enhancement, everywhere the bin in the street, as long as more than a few steps you can see it so dont be lazy oh! Do this, move the brain, and also note the rubbish to see garbage is recycled or not in his hand, and then throw. Dont see someone is thrown on the ground, throw myself, dont learn others, should be timely dissuade him (her).

NO. 2 - to save water, protection of water resources is well known, "water is the source of life". The water on the earth is very rich, but it can directly for people to drink fresh water accounts for less than 1%, the rest of the 99% water, so we have to economize on water. On the basis of this, but also reduce the discharge of industrial and living sewage.

NO. 3, energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life

We should pay attention to energy saving, solar terms, fuel-efficient, start from the intravenous drip, as far as possible to reduce electricity, oil, gas, reduce the use of disposable supplies, go out, in their own cars less as far as possible by bus, reduce the discharge of domestic water and garbage. We must learn to energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life.

NO. 4 - trees

The "lungs of the earth, the forest is one of natures temperature regulator. Forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release a large amount of oxygen, maintaining the carbon - oxygen balance of nature, thus purify air environment, make us breathe fresh air, so we want to afforestation more, make the earth green.

Low carbon environmental protection is every citizen to do your own thing, left everyones participation and support, and low-carbon environmental protection is meaningless. Lets erase carbon footprint will low carbon environmental protection, let us hand in hand into the low carbon era.

天蓝蓝的，白云悠悠，有一个湖泊，湖泊旁有几棵柳树，柳姑娘轻轻抚摸着湖水弟弟的脸颊。不时传来几声鸟啼声，原来是黄鹂在柳树上鸣叫;远处，有几只白鹭飞上蓝天。正如杜甫绝句中“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。”啊!多么美的意境呀!现在人们大多向往这样的生活环境，但随着工业的发展，大量有害气体和工业污水排出，使地球温度升高，水资源污染。再加上滥砍乱伐，是森林少而又少，地球妈妈每天都在流眼泪,所以我们要行动起来，一起低碳环保，让地球妈妈不再哭泣，重回青春美丽。

NO.1----不要偷懒，盲目从众现在人们的环保意识已经增强，在大街上随处可见垃圾箱，只要多走几步就能看见它因此不要偷懒噢!做到了这一点，还要注意扔垃圾的时候动一下脑子，看手上拿的垃圾是可回收还是不可回收，然后再扔。不要看见有人随手扔在地上，自己也扔，不要学别人，应及时劝阻他(她)。

NO.2----节约用水，保护水资源众所周知，"水是生命之源.地球上的水资源很丰富，但能直接供人饮用的淡水占还不到1%,其余的99%为海水，所以我们要节约用水。在这一基础上，还要减少排放工业，生活污水。

NO.3----节能减排，低碳生活

我们要注意节电,节气，节油，从点滴做起，尽可能减少电，油，气的使用，减少使用一次性用品，出门尽量少开私家车，多坐公交车，减少家庭用水和垃圾的产生量。我们要学会节能减排，低碳生活。

NO.4----植树造林

“地球之肺”--森林是大自然的温度调节器。森林通过光合作用吸收大量的二氧化碳并释放出大量的氧气，维持了大自然的碳—氧平衡，从而净化空气环境，使我们呼吸新鲜空气，因此我们要多植树造林，使地球绿意盎然。

低碳环保是每个公民自己的事，离开了每个人的参与和支持，低碳环保就是一句空话。让我们抹去碳足迹将低碳环保进行到底，让我们携手走进低碳时代。

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China. Everybody likes it because its a family get-together. You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often comes in September or October. It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. Now, lets say something about this interesting festival.

Firstly, Id like to say something about the moon. I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future. That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth. When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows. I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk. I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad. I know they are missing us very much, too.

Secondly, I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day. Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly. All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air. They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky. That is a family reunion dinner. The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family. I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world.

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day. My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybodys dream will come true.

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind. I will always re-member: East or West, home is best.

我认为中秋节是一个古老的传统节日在中国。每个人都喜欢它,因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看到它被称为“中秋节”,所以它通常在9月或10月到来。它是农历的8月15日。现在,让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。

首先,我想说说月亮。我很喜欢它,因为我将来想成为一名宇航员。那一天月亮是圆的,大的,就像一个美丽的板挂在蓝色的布。当我看到月亮,我会记住古代神话——女神常Er和她的小兔子是吴刚生长在树下玩耍。我也会想想阿姆斯特朗的第一个月球漫步。我也会想念的朋友在台湾搬岛,在澳门和中国的国外的人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。

其次,我说一些关于中秋节的传统。看!有一棵大树在花园的一个中国天空叩头。所有的家庭成员都是围坐在一张大桌子在树下在露天。他们吃月饼和欣赏天上的满月。这是一个团圆饭。月饼和月亮代表从一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最宝贵的东西之一。

第三,它是一个很好的机会让中秋节三个愿望。我的愿望是:第一,我,一名宇航员在未来,想去月球一天,保持与天空和星星;第二,我希望世界上每一个人会陪家人,分享永远爱从家庭;第三,我希望每个人的梦想就会成真。

这是中秋节在我脑海中。我总是忆起:东或西,家是最好的。

理想是好的,是快乐的,是成功的起点。我认为,每个学生都有一个美好的理想,问我的理想是什么,我会说:“我的理想是当一个央视新闻工作者”。问我为什么有这样的理想,因为这来源于生活。“央视新闻联播”是我们中国重要的新闻,不仅我们整个国家的人民,有许多外国人会看到,所以职业代表着中国形象和语言水平。还有一个原因:这个工作可以使我们的国家人民访问到最新的新闻及了解我们中国的政治关系。以这样工作的方式来偿还我们伟大的祖国母亲。理想的背后是十万年的努力和困难的挑战。在未来的日子里,我将尽我最大的努力学习文化,学习知识,学习改善这些方面,展示自我,挑战更高的领域,如果你想要成功,必须修复它的身体,像一根蜡烛,你想烧掉它,必须有一场比赛,对手是我们的努力。理想是生命,在我们心中播下了年轻;理想是鞭子,让我们努力工作,我的理想是当一个央视新闻工作者,这是我的人生目标。

my  winter  holiday  pian

the winter holiday  ia  corning.  i’m  going  to  beijing  next  week.  i  will  go  there  by  piane.  my  perents  are  going  there  with  me.  we  are  going  to  take  a  trip  and  visit  my  aunt.  i  think  we  will  be  happy. 我的寒假计划

我下周要去北京。我将乘飞机去那里。我的父母和我去那里。我们打算去旅行，去看望我的姨妈。我想我们会幸福的。

中秋节是我国的传统节日，古代就有“秋暮夕月”的习俗，现代每家每户都吃月饼赏月了。

中秋节的晚上，爸爸妈妈带着我和妹妹出来看月亮，我看到了月亮不禁想起一则神话故事：传说嫦娥偷吃了仙药，导致她在冷宫里和玉兔生活。突然，一片灯笼从眼前飞过，我问妈妈：“那是什么？”妈妈回答：“那是孔明灯。”妈妈还告诉我孔明灯是诸葛孔明发明的，诸葛孔明被敌人包围，无法派兵出城求救。孔明算准风向，制成会飘浮的纸灯笼，系上求救的讯息，其后果然脱险。

从那次以后，世世代代都在中秋节放孔明灯，并在孔明灯上写下自己的愿望以实现自己的心愿。

妈妈帮我买了孔明灯，我在孔明灯上写下自己的愿望，我把蜡放在孔明灯上，让爸爸点燃，点燃以后我把手松开，让孔明灯飞起来，把我的心愿也带走。

中秋节是团圆的日子，家人都要一起吃饭，赏月，放孔明灯，吃月饼。但是，有很多人在远方打工无法回家团圆，如果是我，我会思念母亲对我的爱，我还会非常孤独。

这就是中秋节的习俗，中秋节从古代流传到现代，现在国家把这一天定为法定节日，让我们去了解国家的习俗，这是多么美好的事情呀！

Many traditional arts are losing nowadays, because some of them have been

replaced by the new machines and the scientific products. I feel so sorry about

the losing arts, in my opinion, they are so classic and their charm will never

fade away. Take my grandma for example. She is good at paper-cut which was

inherited from her mother. But when comes to my mother’s generation, paper-cut

seems to be kicked out, there are less people need it, so my mother doesn’t

learn this skill. The paper-cut art is losing in my family. When I found my

grandma had this skill, I was so surprised and curious about it. I asked my

grandma to teach me this skill. During the process, I found this art was so

great, I was attracted by it. Some traditional arts like paper-cup should be

kept.

People often ask and are asked that what is the most important thing in

life. Some people answer that family is the most important and others say love,

work or money. In my opinion, health is the most important in life. However, how

to keep healthy?

Firstly, being positive. A positive attitude towards life must be good to

health. It also brings you power to overcome disease. Secondly, taking exercise

regularly. Taking exercise regularly or even every day helps you build a strong

body which is the base of health. Exercise can improve the ability of the body

to fight disease. Thirdly, making friends, because friendship is an important

part to influence your health. Many studies show that people with a wide range

of social contacts get sick less than those who dont. I always feel better when

I am with friends than when I am alone. Finally, eating properly, having good

rest and building normal daily routine are aslo important to health.

Health is a problem we should attach importance to. Only build a healthy

body can us live a better life.

参考译文

人们常常会问或者被问什么是生命中最重要的东西。有的人会回答家庭是最重要的，其他人会说爱，工作和金钱是最重要的。在我看来，健康才是生命中最重要的。但是，怎样保持健康呢?

首先，要积极。对生活的积极态度一定会对健康有好处。它也会给你带来克服疾病的力量。其次，要经常锻炼。经常甚至是每天锻炼能够帮助你建立强壮的身体，这是健康的基础。锻炼可以提高身体抵抗疾病的能力。再次，要多交朋友，因为友谊是影响你健康的重要部分。很多研究表明有广泛的社会交际的人比那些没有的人更少生病。当我跟朋友在一起的时候感觉比独自一人的时候好。最后，饮食合理，休息良好以及建立规律的日常生活对健康也很重要。

健康是我们应该重视的一个问题。只有建立健康的体魄我们才可以过上更好的生活。

Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such

as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own

the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the

fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are

doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they

are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution

to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the

cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the

cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary

people while doing the great job.

Most of you are familiar with American, Canadian and English Christmas customs, which are largely the same, including Santa bringing presents that sit below a lit up tree. But have you ever wondered just how Christmas is celebrated in China, or in Finland?

Whether you’re just interested in learning more about other cultures or want to incorporate some new traditions into your holiday celebrations, this article is filled with all you need to know about international Christmases.

大多数人对英美加这些国家如何过圣诞都很熟悉。它们的圣诞习俗大同小异，包括圣诞老人在点亮的圣诞树下放上礼物。但是你曾想过中国、芬兰这些国家是如何庆祝圣诞的吗？不管你是有兴趣了解其他文化，还是想为自己的圣诞庆祝添点新花样，这篇文章将给你所有“必知”的不同国家的圣诞知识。

Poland

波兰

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a night of magic when animals are said to talk and people have the power to predict the future. It’s a time for families to gather and reconcile any differences, and to remember loved ones who have gone before them.

对于波兰人来说，平安夜是充满魔力的一夜。据说动物在这一夜可以与人说话，而人有预测未来的能力。家人们会在平安夜团聚一堂，调和矛盾，并怀念过世的亲人。

Wigilia (vee-GEEL-yah), which literally means "vigil," or waiting for the birth of Baby Jesus, is considered more important than Christmas Day itself.

对波兰人来说，“守夜”或“等待婴孩耶稣的诞生”（Wigilia）比圣诞节那一天更重要。

Wigilia is a meatless meal because, years ago, Roman Catholics fasted for the four weeks of Advent, including Christmas Eve. In the past there were thirteen main dishes

(representing the Apostles and Christ), but, these days, many families have replaced this tradition with a twelve-fruit compote for dessert.

1

“守夜”晚餐是素食，因为多年前，罗马天主教徒在降临节四周一直到平安夜都斋戒。过去晚餐有13道主菜（代表耶稣和他的使徒）。但是如今许多家庭转而选择12样水果的果盘甜点。

The foods are to represent the four corners of the earth -- mushrooms from the forest, grain from the fields, fruit from the orchards, and fish from the lakes and sea.

食物代表地球的天涯海角——蘑菇来自于森林，谷物来自于田地，水果来自于果园，而鱼来自于湖海。

Meals vary from family to family but usually include a special soup followed by many elegant fish preparations, vegetables, and pierogi.

每家的饭菜都不同，但通常都包括一种特制的汤，还有许多精致的鱼肉餐、蔬菜和半圆形小酥饼。

Czech Republic

捷克共和国

The Czech version of Saint Nick is known as Svaty Mikulas, who is said to climb down to Earth from the heavens using a golden rope. Mikulas is accompanied by an angel and a 2

devil who help him decide which girls and boys deserve treats and toys, and which ones deserve a swatch.

捷克人称圣诞老人为“米库拉斯”（Svaty Mikulas）。据说他用一根金绳从天堂爬到了大地。陪在他身边的是一位天使和一位恶魔。他们俩决定哪些男孩女孩值得得到美食和玩具而哪些孩子该被鞭打一顿。

There are a lot of fortune-telling traditions that are associated with Christmas as well. One involves a family member cutting a branch from a cherry tree and putting it inside in water. If it blooms in time for Christmas it is good luck. It also may represent that the winter will be short, or if a single woman picked the branch, it could mean she will get married in the next year.

圣诞节也有一些算命的习俗。其中有一个是家庭成员从樱桃树上砍下一根树枝并把它放入水中。如果它在圣诞节开了花，就表示好运。它也代表冬季会很短。倘若一位单身女子捡到了这根树枝，这表示她在明年将会结婚。

On Christmas Eve, single woman also try to see if they will get married in the next year by standing outside with their back to their front door, removing one of their shoes and

throwing it over their shoulder. If the shoe lands with the toe facing the door, then she will marry in the next year. If not, she will have to wait at least another 12 months.

在平安夜，单身女子还会通过“扔鞋子”来测试自己明年是否会结婚。她们在屋外背对前门站着，脱下一只鞋，把它从肩上向后扔。如果鞋子落地时鞋头朝门，这就表示她们明年将会结婚。如果鞋子鞋尾朝门，她们就得再等个一年了。

Austria

奥地利

Austrian children still get to celebrate the arrival of Ol’ Saint Nick, but they also have to brace themselves for the arrival of his evil counterpart, Krampus. Where Saint Nicholas 3

rewards good behavior with treats and toys on December 6, the demonic Krampus arrives on December 5, looking to punish all the bad children. His weapons of choice are birch switches to beat children with and burlap sacks to kidnap them and throw them into the river. The worst part is that local men actually dress up like Krampus (just like many men dress up as Santa in America) and terrorize the streets. In some villages, kids are even made to run what is known as a Krampus-gauntlet, in an attempt to outrun the switches. 地利的孩子们庆祝圣诞老人的到来，但同时他们也得迎来邪恶的克拉普斯（Krampus）。圣诞老人在12月6号给表现好的孩子送美食、发玩具。而恶魔般的克拉普斯5号就到了，意在惩罚所有的坏孩子。他把桦树枝做的鞭子当武器，还用粗麻袋绑架他们，把他们扔到河里。最糟糕的是，当地的男士会打扮的像克拉普斯（就像许多美国人打扮的像圣诞老人一样），在街上吓唬小孩子。在很多村庄里，很多小孩子甚至必须接受“克拉普斯大挑战”，他们努力比克拉普斯的鞭子跑得更快。

France

法国

Children of East France have an evil visitor to keep them behaving all year long. Le Pere Fouettard, which translates into “The Whipping Father,” accompanies Saint Nicolas in on December 6. While St. Nick gives good children presents, Le Pere Fouettard gives coal and whippings to the naughty children.

法国东部的孩子们有个邪恶的造访者，他叫“鞭子老爹”（Le Pere Fouettard），确保孩子们一整年都表现乖巧。圣诞老人12月6号给孩子分发礼物时，他也陪伴左右。“鞭子老爹”会给淘气的孩子煤块和一顿鞭子。

One of the most popular origin stories of the character say that he was a greedy inn

keeper who killed three rich boys on their way to boarding school. In many versions of the story, he even eats the children. Whether or not he cannibalizes the boys, the story ends when Saint Nick finds out and resurrects the children and forces Le Pere Fouettard to act as his servant throughout time.

关于“鞭子老爹”这个人物的起源，最流行的一个版本是说，他是一个贪婪的旅馆老板，在三个富男孩上学路上把他们杀了。很多其他版本甚至流传他吃小孩。故事的结局是圣诞老人找到并救出了孩子们，还迫使“鞭子老爹”永世做他的仆人。

Aside from The Whipping Father, another popular French tradition involves making a cake that looks like a traditional Yule log, known as buche de Noel. Christmas trees never really caught on in the country and while most people don’t have any use for an actual Yule log, the cake is a fun and festive substitute. Some of the buche de Nol can get fairly elaborate and even involve meringue mushrooms and edible flower decorations.

除了“鞭子老爹”的故事，法国圣诞还有一个传统是做“圣诞柴蛋糕”。其实圣诞树从未风靡全法国。虽然圣诞柴对法国人来说没什么实际用途，但这个蛋糕代表了人们的愉快和节日的喜庆。有些“圣诞柴蛋糕”做得相当精致，甚至有蛋白酥皮小蘑菇和能吃的花朵装饰品。

Germany

德国

Belsnickel is the German Santa’s dark enforcer, but he’s not nearly as evil as Krumpus or The Whipping Father. Instead he just wears fur from head to toe and gives good girls and boys candy and bad children coal and switches.

贝尔森克（Belsnickel）是德国圣诞老人的惩罚执行者，但他没克拉普斯或鞭子老爹那么邪恶。他从头到脚穿着毛皮，给好孩子们发糖果，给坏孩子们煤块和一顿鞭子。
