中秋节的习俗英语高中作文(精选20篇)

I still remember the first time I went to the zoo.

When I was only five years old, my mother took me there.We took the camera and went to the station together. There were so many monkeys, tigers, lions, wolves and other animals in the zoo. We took many photos in the zoo with the animals. I was pleased to see so many real animals at the same time. They seemed so lovely and active.

I spent a nice day. But on my way home, I began to feel sorry for them. They were taken away from their parents and friends and also far away from the nature. They must have felt lonely, I thought. Every day, the only thing they could do was to sit there and wait for food.

我仍然记得第一次去动物园的那一天。

5岁那年，妈妈带我去动物园。我们带了相机一起过去。那里有猴子、老虎、狮子和狼等等，我们跟它们照了很多相。我很高兴能同时看见那么多活灵活现的动物，他们看上去又活泼又可爱。

我度过了快乐的一天。可是在我回家的路上，我开始替它们难过起来。人们把它们从父母和朋友身边捉走，它们一定感觉很孤单，我想。它们每天惟一可做的事就是等着人们来喂食。

中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的，古代帝王有秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，这种习俗就这样传到民间。

到了唐代，中秋节成为固定的节日。这个节日盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。

还有一种说法，是根据我国的历法，农历八月在秋季中间，为秋季的第二个月，称为“仲秋”，而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中，所以称“中秋”。

中秋节时，月光皎洁明亮，民间除了要举行赏月、祭月、吃月饼，彼此祝福团圆等一系列活动，有些地方还有舞草龙，砌宝塔等活动。除月饼外，各种时令鲜果干果也是中秋夜的美食。除了全家人围桌而坐，彼此祝福、共赏明月、边吃边谈外，在全国各地古老的中秋赏月活动，已被多姿多彩的群众赏月和文艺演出所替代。

中秋节时，“万里无云境九洲，最团圆夜是中秋。”清澈的月、清澈的天，清澈的情感，在天上人间合而为一之时，该是中秋赏月的最佳境界了。

“小时不识月，呼作白玉盘。又疑瑶台镜，飞在青云端……”读完唐代诗人李白的《古朗月行》这首诗后，让我想起了去年中秋节的晚上我们全家人一起在家里的阳台上团圆的事。

记得去年中秋节的晚上是一个天空没有星星，而且比平常还要格外漆黑的夜晚，我和爸爸妈妈还有奶奶在自己家里的阳台上准备度过一年一度的中秋节团圆。当时，我的心情就别提有多高兴了。当晚上九点多钟的时候，圆圆的月光像刚刚睡醒了一样模模糊糊地从黑墨水般的夜空中渐渐地升起来了。

这时，妈妈对我和爸爸还有奶奶说：“中秋节团圆正式开始!”听到了妈妈说的话后，我和爸爸还有奶奶快速地走到了阳台的餐桌上兴奋地坐了下来。哇!餐桌上摆满了各种各样而又美味的食物：有水果、有芋头、有栗子、有菱角、有月饼……嘴馋的我坐在椅子上已经忍不住了，迫不及待地用手抓起食物来往嘴里塞。妈妈看见了我这样，就笑着对我说：“别着急，慢慢吃。看看你这个狼狈的样子，如果被别人看见你这样，还以为你今晚没有吃饭呢。”

坐在旁边的爸爸和奶奶也都笑了起来。当我吃着月饼的时候，爸爸突然问我：“你知道中秋节的时候为什么要吃月饼吗?”我摸了摸脑袋，说：“不知道。”“让我讲给你听吧。”奶奶笑了笑说。“相传元朝时，中原广大人民不甘受蒙古人的残酷统治，纷纷起义抗元。朱元璋欲联合反抗力量，但元官兵搜查严密，苦于无从传递消息……”我一边吃着月饼，一边听着奶奶说中秋节吃月饼的来源。渐渐地，模糊的月光变得明亮起来了，远看就像一个雪白的雪球，使深黑的夜晚更加寒冷了……

这就是去年中秋节我和全家一起在家里的阳台上团圆的事，这件事至今难忘，因为去年的中秋节度过得十分快乐。

在中秋节这个团圆的日子里，一家人围坐在方桌前一边吃着美味的月饼，一边赏着皎洁的月亮，是多么的幸福的一件事啊!可惜今年的中秋，爸爸又不能回来陪我们过节，我一直记得三年前，难得回来过节的爸爸给我讲了这么一个故事：

相传，远古时候有一年，天上出现了十个太阳，直烤得大地冒烟，海水枯干，老百姓眼看无法再生活下去。这件事惊动了一个名叫后羿的英雄，他登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多余的太阳。后羿立下盖世神功，受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，不少志士慕名前来投师学艺。奸诈刁钻、心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

不久，后羿娶了个美丽善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。后羿除传艺狩猎外，终日和妻子在一起，人们都羡慕这对郎才女貌的恩爱夫妻。一天，后羿到昆仑山访友求道，巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘，便向王母求得一包不死药。据说，服下此药，能即刻升天成仙。然而，后羿舍不得撇下妻子，只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里，不料被蓬蒙看到了。

三天后，后羿率众徒外出狩猎，心怀鬼胎的蓬蒙假装生病，留了下来。待后羿率众人走后不久，蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院，威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手，危急之时她当机立断，转身打开百宝匣，拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药，身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口，向天上飞去。由于嫦娥牵挂着丈夫，便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。

傍晚，后羿回到家，侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿既惊又怒，抽剑去杀恶徒，然而蓬蒙早逃走了。气得后羿捶胸顿足哇哇大叫。悲痛欲绝的后羿，仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字。这时他惊奇地发现，今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮，而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。后羿急忙派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里，摆上香案，放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果，遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后，纷纷在月下摆设香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。从此，中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。

就这样，这个故事传到了人间成为了一种习俗，也就是我们的中秋节。

三年前的我在中秋到来之前，一直盼望着放假回家去过中秋节，终于等到了放假的那一天，我不知道有多么的快乐，我收拾好行李便急切的回家了。到家后，我发现爸爸回来了，都不记得爸爸有多少年没有回来跟妈妈和我一起过中秋了，因为爸出国留学网爸在外工作比较忙，所以这次爸爸丢下工作陪我们过节，我真的很高兴。

夜暮降临了，我们一家人都围坐在在桌子面前，一边聊着天，一边吃着美味的月饼，爸爸还给我讲了故事。在这欢声笑语中，我们全家人过了一个幸福快乐的中秋节。

在这个寒假里，令我最快乐的事是正月十五闹元宵。这天，我们全家人早早吃完晚饭，准备送年。六点刚过，哥哥、姐姐就点燃早已准备好的火把，在每个屋子里转了一圈送下了楼，一家人紧跟在后面来到院子里。左邻右舍也都陆陆续续把火把送了出来，大家一起在院子里欢快地跳起了火堆。四面渐渐传来此起彼伏的爆竹声，天空中不时闪烁着五彩缤纷的礼花。

跳完火堆，我们随着人流走向大街，一路看花炮，一路放花炮。来到一处比较空旷的地方，我迫不及待地拿出许愿灯，小心翼翼地打开，先把它吹鼓，然后让爸爸、妈妈帮着提住上面，我动作麻利地系好固体燃料，拿着打火机点了起来，不一会儿燃料慢慢地燃着了。妈妈说：“先别急，等一会儿再放。”我们轻轻地扶着许愿灯等了一会儿，许愿灯开始慢慢上升，我们不约而同地丢开许愿灯，合起双手许下了自己的心愿。

望着慢慢上升的许愿灯，渐渐地离我们远去，闪闪烁烁的光芒好像天空中的小星星，对着我们眨眼睛，好像在说：我一定会实现你们的愿望!

I have rested for XX days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn’t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt unnetfortable. I was ill because of the cold weather. I was tired, sleepy and had no strength. My parents are worried about my health. in fact, it didn’t matter. I was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went out, the high temperature disagreed to me. Finally, I was ill.

January 24 20XX

Today, when I awaked up, I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two netputer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be crazy!!

January 25 20XX

It doesn’t matter that the air-conditioner has been broken. But my notebook-netputer also was broken. I really don’t know what to do. So I went to play basketball. I didn’t know any one in that place. And I was the first time to go there to play basketball. At first, there was no person playing basketball. So I played basketball alone. A few minutes later, some students came to play. So we played together. Of course, we had a match. And It lasts two hours. After the match, I felt I would be dead. I was too tired.

January 25 20XX

No netputer, I will not know to do what. I have no solution to the problem. So I sent my notebook-netputer to the Asus netputer netpany. I must have my netputer repaired. And the other one, it was thoroughly broken. It can’t be repaired again.The netputer netpany told me that my notebook netputer needed one week to repair. The electric led to all trouble.

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求，人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业，而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问，任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方，可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中，大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是，职业生涯可以提供一种手段，对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分，因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方，我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外，我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它，人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来，职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反，它们可以加强彼此，使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此，它不是对与错之间的选择，但理想和现实之间的一个。

今天是中秋节，我和姥姥、姥爷、爸爸、妈妈一起赏桂花，共同渡过这欢乐的时光。

我们走到姥姥、姥爷家院子的桂花树下，深吸一口气，桂花真香呀！它的芬芳让我着了迷。它的花瓣小小的，黄黄的，很可爱。我目不转睛地盯着可爱的桂花，把它深深地印在了脑海里。

妈妈看我可爱、认真的样子，不禁笑了，她轻轻地亲了我一下，我感觉每朵花里都溢满了幸福，我想摘下一朵桂花送给妈妈，并对她说：“妈妈，您辛苦了！”

我们回到家后，我给大家分月饼，我先把姥姥给妈妈买的果丹皮切成一个个的小粒粒，再拿几块不同口味的月饼切开，把它们放在盘子里。

我们一家人都笑了，笑得可甜了。

st important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

[高中中秋节作文

农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋节，也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。八月十五恰在秋季的中间，所以又称中秋节。

中秋节有悠久的历史，和其他传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的。古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，后来贵族和文人学士也效仿起来，在中秋时节对着天上又亮又圆的一轮皓月观赏祭拜，寄托情怀。这种习俗就这样传到民间，渐渐地就成了我国主要节日之一。

中秋节的传说，五彩缤纷，其中嫦娥奔月神话故事流传最广。相传，有一名叫后羿的英雄，一口气射下了天上多余的九个太阳，因此受到百姓的爱戴和尊敬。后来娶了一位美丽善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。一天，后羿巧遇王母娘娘，便向王母娘娘求得一包“不死药”，他把“不死药”交给嫦娥珍藏。有一次后羿外出狩猎，小人蓬蒙闯入后院内宅，威逼嫦娥交出“不死药”，嫦娥当机立断，拿出“不死药”，一口吞了下去。她的身体立时飘离地面，冲出窗户，向天上飞去。后羿知道此事后，悲痛欲绝，仰望星空，呼唤爱妻的名字，这时他惊奇的发现月亮中有一个晃动的身影，酷似嫦娥，他拼命朝月亮追去，可是无论怎么样也追不到，后羿无可奈何，又思念妻子，只好派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里摆上香案，放上蜜食甜果，遥祭在月宫里的嫦娥。百姓们闻知这一消息后，纷纷在月下摆设香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉安。从此，中秋节拜月的风俗便在民间传开了。

中秋节除了赏月、祭月习俗外，在这天还有人燃灯、吃月饼、饮酒的习俗。月饼在我国有着悠久的历史，早在殷周时期，有一种纪念大师闻仲的边蒲心的“大师饼 ”，它是我国月饼的“始祖”。在唐代，有一年中秋之夜， 唐太宗和杨贵妃赏月时，心潮澎湃，随口说出了“月饼”，从此月饼的名称便在民间逐渐传开。

这个传统佳节对于很多家庭来说，都有着许多的特别的意义，它代表着团圆，代表的收获。因此，一提到中秋节，满满的都是幸福与温馨!

Some think it is good for students to bring a cellphone because its more convenient to contact to each other.But othersdo not think so.They think it is bad for students to bring acellphone.Because the students will use mobile phones to play games,sent text messages,watch movies and so on,which will do harm to their study.Andthe teacher and students would be disturbed if cellphone ring during the class time.

有的人认为携带手机对学生有好处，因为这更便于他们相互联系。但是其他人不这么认为。他们认为携带手机对学生有害。因为学生会用手机玩游戏，发短信，看电影等等，这对他们的学习是有害的。而且，如果上课的时候手机响会打扰到老师和同学。

In my opinion,bringing cellphones to school is not a bad thing if we make the best use of it.As we all know,a cellphone is one of the quickest tools for us to exchange information in 21st century.Ifthere’s

an accident,itsmore convenient to dial for help immediately.Whats more,we can use cellphones for relaxing ourselves a little bit when were tired of studies.In my mind,its not wrong to follow the cellphone fashion,but the most important thing is to know how to use them in a right way.

我认为，如果我们合理利用它，带手机到学校并不见得是件坏事。我们都知道，在21世纪手机是我们交流信息最快捷的工具。如果发生事故，手机更方便我们立即拨打电话求助。另外，当我们学习觉得累的时候可以用手机来给稍微放松一下。在我看来，跟随手机时尚并没有错，但是最重要的是懂得正确使用它们。

Dear Li Hong,

I haven’t heard from you for quite a long time. How have you been these

days?

During the coming winter vacation, I’m going to Beijing for a tour. As I

have never been to Beijing before, I’d like you to be my guide. I hope you can

show me around the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and some other places of

interest. What’s more, during my visit I hope to stay together with you in your

house so that we can have a good talk about our life and studies. What do you

think of my idea? I would like to know your opinion.

Please give my best regards(问候) to your parents.

Yours sincerely,

为丰富中学生的环保知识，培养防护意识，学校英语社针对我国雾霾天气频现，危害严重的现状，决定在学生中举行英语征文比赛。请你根据以下提示写一篇短文参赛。

1．雾霾天气的危害：

2．雾霾产生的原因；

3．自我防护的方法。

参考词汇：尾气排放：exhaust emission

雾霾天气：hazy weather

注意：1．词数：120_-150；

2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

Nowadays, the hazy weather frequently appears in our country. It has not only done harm to people’s health, but also affected the public transportation. Terrible accidents happen every now and then, some highways have to be shut down because of the low visibility.

Obviously, air pollution is the main factor that has resulted in the frequency of hazy weather. At the same time, smoke from burning coal and all kinds of dust are also important factors. Besides, exhaust emission from cars and buses has made the situation even worse.

So proper measures should be adopted to deal with the serious problem. To students, opportunities for outdoor sports activities should be decreased, washing faces and hands with running water after each outing is also important, and do not forget to wear a good-quality mask to protect yourself while going out.

I hope we will regain a fresh, clean and bright world soon.
