端午节的高一英语（20篇）

We are always trying to find the way to success, which stands for power,

pride and glory. There have been strings of stories of success I was told since

I was a child. From then on, I have been fascinated with being successful.

Whatsuccess? Different people have different opinions towards this

question. To start with, some people, such as accountants, workers and so on,

are longing for being rich, which allows them buy what they want, and enjoy

luxury. They treat it as success. Furthermore, some contestants, such as boxers,

are always trying their best to defeat their rivals for success. And once they

win, they confirm that they are stronger than others. The last but not the

least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As a good saying

goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. With helping others, we can

also feel satisfactory.

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something

during our life. So I regard striving and working hard important. When comes to

we reap what we sow, it’s the time of success.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the dragon boat festival. For more than two thousand years， dragon boat festival has been a multi-ethnic folk festival of national fitness， epidemic prevention and disease elimination， plague prevention and poison elimination， and pray for health.

Dragon boat festival， also known as duanyang festival and chung Wu festival， is said to be the day when qu yuan， a great poet in ancient China and one of the four cultural celebrities in the world， threw himself into the gurgling river to die for his country. For more than two thousand years， the fifth day of the fifth lunar month has become a traditional festival to commemorate qu yuan every year. Historical records show that in 278 BC， on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month， qu yuan， a doctor of Chu and a patriotic poet， heard the news that Qin Jun had breached the capital of Chu. he felt sad and angry， and his heart ached. he resolutely wrote his last poem " Huai Sha"， threw stones into the Miluo river， and sacrificed himself for the country. People along the Yangtze river have led boats racing to salvage， evoking spirits along the water， and throwing zongzi into the river， lest fish and shrimp eat into his body. This custom has lasted for more than 2000 years.

再过几天就是我们的传统佳节——端午节了。说到端午节，大家就会想到粽子。在很多城市，“粽子节”成了端午节的代名词，以为端午节就是吃粽子。说到端午节，很多媒体都宣传这是一个纪念爱国诗人屈原的节日。

其实，以上两种说法都忽略了端午节的文化内涵。为什么我们会不知道一个有着两千多年历史的传统节日所蕴含的真实文化呢?为什么反而是圣诞节、情人节、万圣节等洋节在国内大行其道呢?原因很简单：因为长期以来，传统佳节在国内并没有受到应有的重视。直到05年，韩国“抢”了我们的端午节，申报的“江陵端午祭”入选为世界无形文化遗产名录，这才给我们带来了冲击，带来了反思。早在春秋，端午就是一个多民族的节日，除汉族外，还有满、蒙、藏、苗、等约28个少数民族庆祝这个节日。后来才慢慢传入了日本、朝鲜、越南等国家。当然，端午节的精神内涵也远远不止是吃。

在端午节的活动中，自古以来就有了赛龙舟，用五彩丝缠粽子、缠手足腕，包米粽，采插艾叶，涂饮雄黄酒，调制朱砂酒，采集露水洗眼睛，采多种草药，人身上及屋内各处悬挂香包等等，以上这些都告诉我们最早端午节是防疫祛病、避瘟驱邪、祈求健康长寿的一个节日，它寄寓了人们平安和顺的美好心愿。后来，才渐渐加入了纪念地方性名人的内容，例如长江中游湖南、湖北楚地纪念屈原，长江下游江浙吴地端午节纪念伍子胥或纪念越王勾践及孝女曹蛾。

同学们，一个国家的传统节日是一个民族的文化与灵魂。端午节就要到了，让我们一起来重视并过好这个防灾祛病、祈求健康长寿的传统节日，恢复它的文化内涵，让我们每一个中国人都珍惜我们的端午文化。

“雄黄酒下肚，龙舟顺水出。”你知道这是什么节日吗?让我来告诉你吧，这是端午节。

端午节，是纪念我们伟大诗人屈原的日子。到了端午节，人们会赛龙舟、吃粽子和挂艾叶……端午节有丰富多彩的习俗，其中我最喜欢的是包粽子。

到了五月初五的时候，外婆在厨房里准备了各种各样包粽子的材料，有粽叶、有糯米、有蜜枣……在外婆的巧手之下，长长的粽叶就变成了圆锥形。之后，她再小心翼翼地把糯米倒进圆锥形的粽叶里，再把上部的粽叶往下一折，整个粽子就合拢了起来。最后，外婆又拿出一条细细的麻绳，在粽子上一缠、一绕、再缠、再绕，一个胖乎乎的粽子就展现在我们眼前了。

看着外婆包得那么得心应手，我也迫不及待地包了起来。我学着外婆的样子，将粽叶包成圆锥形，然后把糯米倒进粽叶里。可是一不小心，糯米放的太多了，上部的粽叶怎么也合不上。我又试着舀出一些糯米，可是这下糯米又太少了。我急得像一只热锅上的蚂蚁，包粽子看上去那么容易，但是我却怎么也包不好。这时，外婆看见了，轻轻地往我的圆锥形粽叶里加了一些糯米，这下糯米就刚刚好，粽叶就盖得严严实实了。外婆摸了摸我的头，笑着说：“傻孩子，熟能生巧。别看一个小粽子，里面可有大学问呢。”外婆帮助我一起给粽子打上结，我的第一个粽子就圆满完成了。

外婆把我们的粽子下了锅，咕噜噜咕噜噜，一个个粽子像一个个顽皮的小孩子，在水里翻滚。过了一会，粽子煮熟了，我连忙尝了一口，甜甜的滋味在我的口腔弥漫开来。今天的粽子格外好吃，因为这是我自己努力的成果!

It is known to all that Guangxi province is famous for its various culture,

because there are many minorities. Recent years, the local government carry out

a policy of taking a break on March 3rd, which makes it the special day for

Guangxi Province. People can enjoy some shows which are full of local features,

such as singing local songs, having dragon-lion dance and so on. This policy not

only lets people take relax from routine work, but also makes people remember

their culture. I am part of the local people and I am so proud of the variety.

The different culture makes our country full of charm.

农历五月初五，是中华民族的传统节日之一。端午节也是最古老的节日，而且是中国人2000多年来的传统习惯。由于地域广大，民族众多，加上许多的传说，于是不仅产生了众多相异的名节，而且各地也有着不相同的传说。

在离端午节还有十三的期限，我早已憧憬着，憧憬着美好的节日;我早已期盼着，期盼着美食的味道。就在今天，我见外婆忙你忙外的，我便问道：“您这是在干啥呀?”婆婆笑嘻嘻地对我说：“马上就要过端午啦，可不是正在为你们弄些艾叶菖蒲呀。”我便紧接着询问起的艾叶菖蒲的作用就像十万个为是么一样，婆婆就想借答其中问题一样，告诉我在端午节是自古相传的“卫生节”，人们在这一天洒扫庭院，挂艾枝，悬菖蒲，洒雄黄水，饮雄黄酒，激浊除腐，杀菌防病。这些活动也反映了中华民族的优良传统。端午节上山采药，则是我国各国个民族共同的习俗。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

当然赛龙舟也是端午节必不可少的,正如张建封诗人写的五月五日天晴明，杨花绕江啼晓鹰，使君未出郡斋外，江上早闻齐和声;使君出时皆有准，马前已被红旗引;两岸罗衣扑鼻香，银钗照日如霜刃;鼓声三下红旗开，两龙跃出浮水来;棹影斡波飞万剑，鼓声劈浪鸣千雷;鼓声渐急标将近，两龙望标目如瞬;坡上人呼霹雳惊，竿头彩挂虹霓晕;前船抢水已得标，后船失势空挥挠。描写出了当时激动人心的场。

说到这你我非常期盼着端午的到来。

一天，妈妈下班回来，我问她：“妈妈，你手里拎的是什么东西啊?”妈妈说：“今天是端午节，我买了一些粽子。”我听了想：端午节为什么要吃粽子呢?

妈妈买来了各种各样的粽子，有豆沙粽、板栗粽、肉粽和蛋黄粽等等。晚上我吃了好几个粽子，吃完饭，我和爸爸一起打开电脑，到网上查一查，了解为什么端午节要吃粽子。

原来农历五月初五，是我国民间的传统节日――端午节，它是中华民族古老的传统节日之一。端午也称端五，端阳。此外，端午节还有许多别称，如：午日节、重五节、五月节、女儿节、诗人节和龙日等等。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗还是大同小异的。

关于端午节的由来，有很多说法。最著名的是为了纪念伟大的爱国主义诗人屈原。

公元前278年，楚国被秦军攻破，屈原看到自己的国家被侵略，心如刀割，但他始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国，于五月五日，抱石投汨罗江而死。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，就有了龙舟竞渡、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

哦!原来粽子有这么一个传说。粽子真好吃，每当吃粽子时，我就会想起爱国诗人屈原。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

一提起端午节，人们就会想起吃粽子，划龙舟。可是，同学们你们知到“端午”是什么意思，端午节的风俗又是怎么来的吗?

The mention of the Dragon Boat Festival, people will think of eating dumplings, dragon boat racing. However, do you know what is the meaning of "Dragon Boat Festival", the Dragon Boat Festival customs is how come?

“端午”。“端”是“初”“始”的意思，所以阴历五月初五称为“端午”。到了唐代，因为唐朝皇帝唐玄宇的生日是八月五日，为了避用“五”字，就用回音“午”替换了“五”字，从此，“端五”便改称“端午”了。

"Dragon Boat Festival". "The end" is the "beginning" "beginning", so the lunar calendar in May called "dragon boat festival". To the Tang Dynasty, because of the Tang Dynasty emperor Tang Xuanyu was born on August 5th, in order to avoid the use of "Five", with the echo "afternoon" replace "Five", then, "end of the five" was called the "Dragon Boat Festival".

为什么五月初五这一天会成为“端午”呢?民间流传着很多种说法。其中最流行的说法，就是为了纪念屈原。

Why the fifth May this day will become the "Dragon Boat Festival"? The folklore of the several different versions. One of the most popular argument is to commemorate Qu Yuan.

屈原是战国时楚国的大官，楚国不采纳他的治国主张，反而将他免职流放，他在流放途中看到楚国衰亡，人民遭受苦难，自己又无力挽救老百姓，他心中悲愤难忍，便于公元前278年的五月初五，投入汩罗江自尽。楚国百姓知道后，竟相划船前去相救，但已来不及了，百姓们担心江中的鱼，鳖，咬食屈原的遗体，便用竹壳裹米投入江中喂鱼。从此，划龙舟，包粽子就是我们中国的风俗了。

Qu Yuan is a high official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period, Chu did not take his governing principles, but he will be removed from the exile, he saw the decline in exile, the peoples suffering, and to save the people, he had to endure grief and indignation, to 278 BC in the fifth day of May, into the Miluo River. The people of Chu know, has the boat to rescue, but it was too late, the people to worry about the river fish, turtle, eating Qu Yuans body, then wrapped with bamboo rice into the river to feed the fish shell. Since then, the dragon boat, zongzi is our Chinese customs.

我很喜欢端午节，我每年都盼望端午节的到来。

I like the Dragon Boat Festival every year, I look forward to the arrival of the Dragon Boat festival.

Today is Mother’s Day.I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with the housework,others are going to buy some flowers for their mothers.I want to say to her that I love her very much. But as a boy, it is a bit difficult for me to show my heart.I think only girls can do that.My mother is very kind.She takes care of me day and night. She spends little money, but buys anything for me that I need.

This time I must show my love.I am going to give her a card and write like this, “I love you, mother!” I am going to put it under her pillow.

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.

在我们很小的时候，梦想将来成为伟大的人，比如科学家，警察等等。孩子有伟大的梦想是好的，这样他们就会努力学习，为他们的将来奋斗。但是事实上，并不是所有的人都能成为伟大的人，大部分人都是做着普通的工作。在我看来，平凡也是美丽的。虽然他们没有做着体面的工作，但是他们找到了自己的位置，为社会做贡献。就拿清洁工来说。他们早早起来做清洁。人们不敢做这份工作，因为脏，但是清洁工通过努力工作去装饰了这个城市。清洁工虽然普通，但是他们却做着伟大的工作。

听大人们说，端午节是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原而设立的节日。农历五月初五，屈原投江自尽，人们为了哀悼屈原先生，便将食物用叶子包住扔进江中，希望鱼虾不去啃食屈原的身体，后来就演变成了包粽子得习俗。去年的端午节，亲爱的姥姥教我包粽子!

需要准备的材料有：若干糯米，十几颗红枣，苇叶一把，棉线一团，还有一把剪子。

激动人心的时刻到来了，我迫不及待地看着制作过程。首先，姥姥将一片苇叶卷成一个圆锥形，然后轻轻的将糯米填入圆锥的一半，再放入两颗红红的大枣，就像白色珍珠里面镶嵌着绚丽多彩的翡翠呢!接着继续覆盖糯米，填到快溢出来的样子，使馅料充满整个粽子，这样有利于后面的包裹。最后，按照螺旋的手法，从苇叶的另一端开始对折叶片，卷到最后时，只见姥姥留一点儿小尾巴，用棉线从底部成十字捆绑粽子，捆好不散，就可以上锅蒸了。

姥姥这番娴熟的操作，看得我是眼花缭乱，惊羡不已。我有些不甘心，决定自己也包一个胖嘟嘟的粽子。但是我的手有点小，苇叶没有包得很紧实，刚刚放入锅中，只听“哗啦”一声，糯米像长了腿一样，跑的满锅都是。我有些失落，姥姥却对我语重心长地说：“加油宝贝，失败是成功之母，总结经验!”于是我鼓起了勇气，小手紧紧的捆绑住粽子，一次两次三次，哇!我成功了，属于我的第一个粽子问世啦!我兴奋得手舞足蹈!

大约一个小时，粽子的清香缓缓的从蒸锅中溢了出来，我贪婪地嗅着这一丝丝，一缕缕的粽香，口水忍不住地往下流......

我小心翼翼地剥开嫩绿色的粽叶，一股甜腻腻的糯米香扑鼻而来，乳白色的糯米镶嵌着红色的宝石，令人陶醉。再沾点白糖，轻轻地咬伤一口，嗯......又香又甜的味道好极了，一直沁入我的心脾!

Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese folk grand, celebration is also various.

Dragon boat racing, Dragon Boat Festivals main custom. Legend originated from the ancient chu people loathe to give up good cast jiang qu yuan died, a lot of people boating after save. To dongting lake when they compete, not observed. After a year of May 5th row the dragon boat to commemorate. Borrow rowing to disperse the fish in the river, in order to avoid the fish eat qu yuans body. Boatrace xi, prevails in wu, yue and chu.

The Dragon Boat Festival to eat dumplings, this is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Dumplings, also called "zongzi", "drum reed". It has a long history, great variety.

Minyan said: "the tomb-sweeping day, dragon-boat festival moxa". In the Dragon Boat Festival, people put the moxa and calamus, as one of the important content. Every family cleaning addition, calamus and moxa inserted in the door eyebrow, hanging in the hall. And calamus, folium artemisiae argyi, pomegranate, garlic, dragon boat flower, made human or tiger, called ai, dressed fitch; Made a wreath, accessories, beautiful fragrance, the woman rushed to wear, to drive dysentery.

Eating zongzi, dragon boat racing, this different tradition weaving together a home of the Dragon Boat Festival.

我国民间过端午节是较为隆重的，庆祝的活动也是各种各样。

赛龙舟，是端午节的主要习俗。相传起源于古时楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去，许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹。之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体。竞渡之习，盛行于吴、越、楚。

端午节吃粽子，这是中国人民的又一传统习俗。粽子，又叫“角黍”、“筒粽”。其由来已久，花样繁多。

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

吃粽子、赛龙舟，这两样传统习俗共同编织了一个热热闹闹的端午节。

Mention everybody knows that theDragonBoat Festival in China, and they all want to eat dumplings, dragon boat racing.

But, you know how the Dragon Boat Festival? Let me tell you the truth. Ancient chu lived a man named qu yuan, he remained at the officer, and very loyal to the emperor, he often propose for the emperor. Qu yuan is anathema to treacherous court official, however, there are some, and beside the emperor said qu yuan it is not good, the bad, the emperor listened to believe, the qu yuan to the frontier. Qu yuan, with a patriotic heart. Qu yuan, please go to other countries, but he didnt go to, just worried about his own country. Lost of qu yuan, chu is getting closer and closer to death, in the end, even the king chu being seized.

One day, qu yuan heard that is going to die, chu was very sad, thought, even countries all perish, Im still alive? Thought of here, he picked up the stone jumped into the lost.

This is the fifth day, people sadly, they threw rice into the river, let the fish eat rice, do not eat qu yuan, boating and struggling to go to the river look for qu yuan.

This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, you know!

在中国提起端午节人人都知道，而且都要吃粽子，赛龙舟。

可是，你知道端午节是怎么来的吗?让我来告诉你吧。古时候楚国住着一个人，名叫屈原，他在朝中当官，对皇上非常忠诚，他经常为皇上出谋献策。但是，有一些奸臣对屈原恨之入骨，于是在皇上身边说屈原这不好，那不好，皇上听了竟然相信了，把屈原贬到边疆。屈原怀着报国之心。别的国家都请屈原去，但他不去，只是担心自己的祖国。失去了屈原，楚国离灭亡越来越近，最后，连楚王都被别国扣押。

有一天，屈原听说楚国快要灭亡了，非常伤心，心想：连国家都灭亡了，我还活着有什么用?想到这里，他抱起石头跳进了汩罗江。

这一天是五月初五，人们伤心极了，他们把米扔入江里，让鱼吃米，不吃屈原，并且奋力划船去河里找屈原。

这就是端午节的来历，你知道了吧!

On the weekend I like to spend time in library. I like reading books. There

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).
