用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文（通用20篇）

Given is a table which clearly illustrates the striking trend of aged population in China from 1990 to 2050. During the first 22 years, the number of people aged 60 and above ascended slightly from 97.19 to 136 million, and since 2012 it is predicted that this number will surge remarkably, reaching 410 million in 2050. Meanwhile, the proportion of aged citizens revealed and will reveal the similar trend, and it will reach 27.4% in total population.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society. For one thing, aged society is best characterized by the more burden for youngsters to support parents, which will enable younger generation to work harder. For another, compared with the past and today, the aged citizens will play a more important role in society. A case in point is their age for retiring will be extended. Therefore, a larger proportion of senior citizens have to take more responsibilities in work, family and society.

Accordingly, it is advisable for Chinese government to focus more eyesight on the coming challenges in the forthcoming future. Meanwhile, it is essential for China to work out comprehensive strategies to strengthen its social welfare to reduce young people’s stress.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society, but what resulted in this change above? For one thing, the past 30 years was best characterized by the policy of Family Plan in China, which enabled a host of families to have only one kid and enabled the proportion of youngsters to decline. For another, compared with the past, medical care and quality of life is and will be better; therefore, a larger proportion of people live longer. Consequently, the percentage of aged people showed and will show a trend of rise.

在人们的印象里，科学家应该都是象牙塔里的幸运儿，文质彬彬的科学家们带着眼镜，穿着雪白的大褂，在仪表闪烁的实验室里做着各种奇妙的科学实验。这的确是现代科学实验室里的景象，而且也的确有很多科学家在这样的工作环境里为科学做着贡献。

不过老多还知道另外一些科学家，他们没有什么先进的实验设备，甚至连起码的条件都很缺乏，可是他们却也为科学做出了很大的贡献。比如著名的女科学家居里夫人，她因和丈夫一起发现放射性元素钋和镭而获得1903年和1911年诺贝尔物理学奖和化学奖。而做出如此重大贡献的实验室，开始时却是在一间上漏下潮的破旧棚子和一些极其简陋的仪器。当然，老多今天要讲的故事不是外国的科学家，而是咱们中国的。

上世纪初，在广东粤东北客家山中有一家客家人，他家的长辈们正瞧着一个赤着脚在田埂上到处乱跑的瘦弱的小男孩。这孩子虽然瘦弱但天资聪颖，家里人多么希望有一天这孩子能为他们光宗耀祖。

他没有辜负长辈的期望，20岁那年居然考取了当时还很稀少的大学中的一所——国立南京东南大学(现在南京大学的前身)。这家人并不很富裕，整个家族好不容易为他凑足了盘缠，让他踏上了求学之路。

进入东南大学物理系学习，4年的时间让他从一个农村的土小子，变成了一个满腹物理化学知识，能说外国话的学生。毕业之后经朋友举荐，在南京谋了一个中学物理教师的职位，他以为职业生涯开始了。虽然吃粉笔末的差事并不很富足，但比起农村的生活那已经是天壤之别，本想就此安身立命。可谁知道生不逢时，当时正值北伐战争关键时期，硝烟弥漫，战云密布，南京城里到处是孙传芳的败兵。一天在街上碰见一群正在抢掠的游兵，被吓得魂飞胆散。而且他又染上了当时很难治愈的肺病，咳嗽都带血，万般无奈，向朋友借了盘缠仓皇逃回了广东老家。

此时的中国可谓国难深重，民不聊生。就在如此惨淡的时刻，1920年中国的甘肃又发生特大地震，房倒屋塌死伤无数，震惊世界。当时在北洋政府地质研究所工作的著名地质学家翁文灏率人亲临现场考察。看到如此惨烈的地震灾害，翁先生决计要在中国开展用仪器观测地震活动的事业。他找到清华大学教授叶企孙，希望他推荐一个人来专门从事此项任务，没有别的要求，只要是学物理的、英文好。叶企孙搜肠刮肚，突然想起他在东南大学任教时那个来自广东的青涩少年正好符合要求，于是急发电报。

1927年仓皇逃回老家以后，总算交上一点好运，虽然不是衣锦还乡，但大学生在粤北的农村并不多见，不久以后在县中学当上了堂堂教务主任，并兼任物理和英语教师。1929年与自己一位善良的女学生结为连理，建立了幸福的小家庭。妻子是富家小姐，经丈母娘的调养，肺病居然痊愈，小日子过得真是红红火火。突然间看到恩师的急电，一时不知所措。地震为何物，他一无所知，如何是好?新婚妻子说：“你去吧!”

于是，顾不上过春节，抛下怀着身孕的妻子，只身来到北京，从此便开始了他为之奋斗一生的地震研究事业。

1930年来到北京中央地质调查所受命，随即被派往上海徐家汇见习地震观测。那里有一个由外国人办的地震观测室，负责人是个意大利人龙相奇。谁知道一开始那个外国佬看不起这个来自广东的傻小子，什么都不教，只是让他熏烟纸(地震记录用的)。不得已，只好自己到附近的图书馆看书，当对地震稍知一二以后，又向外国老师请教。外国佬看这个小子居然会问自己一些问题，大为震惊，于是开始给他讲授一些地震观测知识，并让他进入自己的图书馆。可学了没多久，却又被急调回北京，建立中国人自己第一个地震观测台的事情在等着他。后来他与龙相奇成为好友，1934年他去美国帕萨迪纳地震研究所做访问学者时，龙相奇把他推荐给美国著名地震学家古登堡先生。

地震台选址在离北京城四十公里以外西山的鹫峰上。那个地方现在都很少有人光顾，别说1930年了。那时的北京还是一个破烂不堪黄土满天的城市，出了西直门就没有洋汽车了。在西直门城楼下面有租驴的驿站，去西山或者骑驴或者坐黄包车，无论哪种交通工具往返北京和鹫峰之间都不止一天(现在开车从西直门到鹫峰大约需要1个小时)。而鹫峰之上更是荒凉，荒山野岭上是一座破庙秀峰寺。破庙旁是当时一位著名的大律师林行规的别墅，林大律师慷慨地捐出一块大约100平方米的地作为台址，于是中国人自己建造的第一个地震观测台建立起来了。在秀峰寺苍松翠柏的环抱中地震台的建设工作开始了。“忙了一个月，搞洋灰、钻、锉、磨，甚至于打铁也干了，最后总算把地震仪器装起来。……”50多年后他这样回忆道。

1930年9月20日国际标准时间13时02分02秒，鹫峰地震台记录到了第一个地震。从此中国有了自己的地震台。

这个地震台要什么没什么，电是肯定没有的，只能用蓄电池。所以他每个星期要骑着毛驴把电池背到几十公里外的清华大学去充电。到了晚上更是凄惨，除了听松涛的声音，就是狼嚎。可他也会自娱自乐，从城里买了一架小型天文望远镜，支在屋顶上看星星。

不久妻子也来了，他们就住在林大律师别墅的一间耳房里，晚上一起聆听松涛的声音。

不久地震台以国际通用格式编印的《鹫峰地震月报》和《鹫峰地震专报》便如期出现在全世界的地震观测网络中，到1937年，鹫峰地震台已经成为国际一流的地震台。而在这个期间，地震台的工作人员除了他，只有另外一个由叶企孙先生介绍来的清华的技术员，他家就在山下的北安河村。

后来又发生了许多事情，比如1937年抗日战争爆发，苦心经营了7年的地震台毁于战火。他和妻子逃难到了重庆。期间他忍受不了寂寞，和搭档一起深入交通闭塞野兽出没的四川、贵州、云南等地做地质考察，并做出攀枝花地区矿山的评价，解放后攀枝花成为一座著名的钢铁公司。在重庆躲避日本飞机轰炸的警报声中，他又奇迹般地制造出中国造的第一个地震仪。这个中国造地震仪的原型甚至连罐头盒都用上了，建国以后这个地震仪成为由他亲手组建的中国地震观测台网最初的装备。当然在那个特殊的年代他也没有幸免，反动学术权威是把他关进牛棚的罪名，60岁他戒了烟，可在牛棚里他又抽上了。1976年恢复了平静，他也老了，于是他开始写书《中国地震》，当写完最后一个字以后，他病倒了，再也没有起来……。如今他的铜像矗立在鹫峰地震台原址。

这个科学家的名字叫李善邦，是老多的父亲。老多之所以写他，就是想让大家知道，科学的道路是很艰难的，但也是十分快乐的，因为他们对自己做的事情充满了热情和兴趣。在30多年前，当老多要离开北京去云南当知青之前，父亲跟我说，你去那里会看到很多蝴蝶和热带昆虫，回来以后你会成为一个昆虫学家。老多没有成为昆虫学家，可是老多学会了如何学习，学到了很多、很多。

剑桥大学有一位颇有成就的华人，在剑桥大学工作十几年，当上了院士，很不容易。但我发现他与学院内其他英国同事缺少交流。我去学习三个月，就与英国老师们很熟了，进入了他们的圈子，见面都会熟悉地打招呼。这位华人院士很奇怪，问我怎么会与大家这么熟悉，说他自己这么多年在剑桥，与这些英国老师没有多少交往。这位院士为什么难以进入英国老师们的圈子?我想，是因为华人院士的中国胃。华人院士不吃西餐，每顿饭都要回家吃中餐。英国老师们多在俱乐部吃饭，吃饭时就是交流聊天的时候，有时一顿晚饭会吃到晚上10点。吃饭就是思想和情感交流最好的时候。我每到一个新国家新地方，都坚持吃当地的食物。想拥抱世界，要有一个拥抱世界的胃。拥抱世界的胃，帮我很快融入了剑桥大学的教师圈子。

坚守一个习惯，就等于向世界关上了一扇门。开放自己，接纳新事物，就是融入新世界。对外部世界保持好奇，乐于交流、分享、连接，力求去理解、接纳对自己来说是新鲜的事物，海纳百川，纳入外部的新知识、新感受、新资源和新力量。华人院士的一个中国胃，就使他错过了诸多与同事朋友交流分享连接的机会。

New Year is coming, everybody happily preparing for New Year. This time, every family hung red lanterns, my house is no exception. In the New Year everyone talking and laughing there to buy clothes, some through the door to someones home, and eat in.

新年到了，大家兴高采烈地做迎新年的准备。这时间，家家户户挂满了火红的灯笼，我家也不例外。在新年里大家说说笑笑，有的去买衣服，有的去别人家闯门，还有的在家里吃饭。

当夜幕降临的时候，街道旁的路灯都不约而同的亮了起来，就在这时候，我飞快的跑下楼去，手里拿着各种各样的烟花炮竹，于是，我连忙点起火来，只见背火熊熊燃烧的烟花，像火箭一样向天空飞去，天上的烟花，突然间被炸开了，天上留下了五颜六色的道痕，突然，我的眼睛里充满了光明。

然后我就融入了欢乐的人群当中，我忽然看到，人们在高兴地做游戏，脸上露出了开心的笑容。连我也不由自主地走了进去。我们互相讲笑话，玩游戏，放鞭炮，猜字谜等。接着，我碰到了同学，我说：“新年好!”她也说：新年好!然后我们就互相拜访。过后，我就听到了震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，那声音热烈而持久。在声音里我看到人们大声欢呼，喊叫，我着急地离开了。

闻见家里的饭香味，我就顺着香气跑回了家里，吃上香喷喷的饺子，保证你去了会大饱口福。吃完饭，我穿上了新衣服去逛街，街上的人那是人山人海啊!我差一点就摔倒了!不光这个，街上的东西还应有尽有，物美价廉。人们沉浸在欢声笑语之中，夜深了，寒意在逼近，人们都不愿意离去，还在那里尽情地欢庆，期盼新的一年到来。

在2021年东京奥运会上，有一位短跑运动员，他拼尽全力，仍未登上领奖台，但他却凭借9秒83的成绩，成为第一个闯进奥运会男子百米决赛的黄种人。

这个成绩，一举打破亚洲纪录。他的名字在赛后轰动世界，是继刘翔之后，又一个封神的中国田径英雄。

很多人不知道的是，这个国人心目中的短跑英雄，却是一个超期服役的80后运动员，甚至几次想打报告退役。

不过幸好虽然伤痛、年龄等因素让他在训练中倍感压力，但他却从未放弃过心中的梦想。

他就是中国飞人苏炳添。

在短跑之路上，他为自己书写了一个又一个传奇。

苏炳添，1989年出生在广东中山古镇镇，父母亲都是地地道道的农民。

古镇镇特别重视田径运动，经常在村子里举办比赛，比苏炳添大9岁的表哥就是村子里的短跑冠军。

苏炳添和表哥的关系很要好，两人经常在一起追逐玩耍，有时候，苏炳添比表哥跑得还快。

上学后的苏炳添真正接触田径运动还是在初中，看着学校田径队员的专业训练，苏炳添也想加入。

无奈苏炳添个子低，达不到入队的标准，被教练拒绝了。为了加入田径队，苏炳添给教练展示了一个绝活，他以1米5高的身材，向上跳跃后可以摸到2米9高的门板。

教练惊讶到合不上嘴，随后如获至宝般地接收了苏炳添。

县城的体育学校，训练条件实在有限，连最基础的训练设施都不完善，现有的设备也都是破破烂烂。

就在这样的条件下，苏炳添坚持每天早晨5点半就起床训练，一练就是一整天，每周六日天天如此，从未间断过，但他从来都没有抱怨过累。

经过教练专业的指点，苏炳添无论在技能上，还是在体能上，都有了突飞猛进的进步。 他在学校、村里的各项比赛中多次夺得冠军，这也为苏炳添日后成为“飞人”打下坚实基础。

2011年3月19日，全国室内田径锦标赛成都站，苏炳添在60米预赛中跑出6秒56的好成绩，将另一名广东运动员温永毅在2008年所创的6秒58全国纪录提高了0.02秒;决赛又以6秒59获得男子60米冠军。

4月24日，全国田径大奖赛系列赛肇庆站男子100米比赛中，苏炳添以10秒45夺冠。

7月8日，日本神户第19届亚洲田径锦标赛男子100米决赛，苏炳添以10秒21的成绩夺得冠军，并达到奥运B标，10秒21也是亚锦赛100米历史上的第二个好成绩。

8月17日，第26届世界大学生运动会决赛，苏炳添以10秒27获得男子100米季军。

9月8日，在合肥奥体中心举行的全国田径锦标赛暨伦敦奥运会达标赛男子100米决赛，苏炳添以10秒16(顺风0.7米/秒)的成绩打破了周伟创造的10秒17的全国纪录，并达到了奥运A标。

9月26日，在海南三亚举行的第12届全国大学生田径锦标赛男子甲组百米飞人大战，苏炳添以10秒34的成绩夺冠，并打破赛会纪录。

有一位客人到主人家做客，见主人家炉灶烟囱砌得太直，旁边又堆着不少柴草，便劝告主人说：“这太危险了，应把烟囱改成弯曲的，把柴草搬到安全的地方，不然，有可能引起火灾。”主人听了默不作声。

不久，主人家果然因烟囱溅火星失火了，幸亏周围的邻居赶来奋力抢救，才扑灭了大火。主人为了酬谢大家，杀牛备酒。酒席上，主人请那些救火时被烧得焦头烂额的人坐上座，其余的人按出力大小安排了座次，而那个劝告主人改烟囱搬柴草的人却没有受到邀请。

开席前，有位邻居对主人说：“假若当初你听了那位客人的话，就不会遭此火灾，也用不着破费办酒席酬谢大家了。现在，你论功请赏，那些被烧得焦头烂额的人都应该作上宾，那位劝你防火的客人难道不也该请来作上宾吗？”

主人听了此话方才醒悟，赶忙去恭请那位客人。

[有关介绍中国的春节英语作文

地雷，人类发明的最残酷的武器之一，轻轻地触动它，就可能把你炸残甚至让你死亡。每年大约有2万人因地雷爆炸致死或受伤，然而，有一位中国战士一生中和地雷这个死神“约会”了二十多年，亲手排除了2100多枚地雷，他就是当代中国军人陈代荣。

陈代荣刚刚参军时，心中的梦想并不是在地上挖地雷，而是搏击长空。当时，19岁的陈代荣考上了长春空军第一飞行基础学院，然而入校一年后，陈代荣在训练中扭伤脚踝并导致骨折，被学院淘汰。抹着眼泪的他只得调到湖南长沙工程兵学院排爆专业去学习。

1988年，陈代荣成为成都军区驻滇集团军工兵团的一名工程兵。扫雷是个最需要细心和耐心的技术活儿，陈代荣在部队里埋头苦练了4年，终于将地雷的“火暴脾气”摸了个透。

陈代荣第一次参加的排雷活动是中越边境大排雷。当时，战争已经过去多年了，就连当年布雷的战士也不知道地雷埋在哪里，边境上不但有我们的战士埋的雷，也有对方军队埋的雷，有正规地雷，也有用手榴弹、炮弹甚至鱼雷改装的土地雷，土里有雷，水里有雷，甚至树上也有雷。陈代荣带着30名扫雷手，趴在地上用手一寸一寸地摸。有一天，一位战士发现了一枚锈蚀变形的地雷，觉得它不存在爆炸的危险，伸手就要排除。陈代荣一把抓住他的手腕，一脚将地雷踢飞。地雷“哧哧”冒着青烟，滚下了山……要不是陈代荣判断正确，眼疾手快，排雷的战士就要牺牲了。

此后，陈代荣先后受联合国委派，带领中国维和战士赴非洲厄立特里亚、泰国和中东的黎巴嫩等地扫雷。2006年，以色列和黎巴嫩真主党之间爆发了21世纪以来规模最大的武装冲突。当时，中国的维和工兵营与真主党的基地仅一墙之隔，经常有炮弹在营地旁边爆炸。有一天，陈代荣负责护送3辆物资运输车，前往邻近的一个友军营地。车队行至一个路段时，陈代荣突然发现有两枚巨型炮弹横在路中央，挡住了去路。陈代荣跳下车，发现两枚炮弹已经处于待爆状态，只要稍微碰触，就会发生惊天动地的爆炸。这样的一枚炮弹，爆炸时的威力足以覆盖足球场大小的面积，两枚炮弹同时爆炸，四周几百米范围内的人都活不了。他带领战士们开始小心翼翼地拆除引信，当满身是汗的陈代荣拆完引信，把炸弹挪到路边时，所有在场的人才松了一口气。在战火纷飞的黎巴嫩，陈代荣34天里完成了1800多项战地任务

陈代荣不但“手巧”，而且“心灵”。在联合国维和部队执行任务时，他带领战士们花了6个月的时间，完成了一部272页、共计35万字的《扫雷标准作业程序》。这在别的国家，需要3年时间才能完成。他和战友们也因此成为我军首支通过国际扫雷资质认证的专业扫雷队伍。陈代荣还汇编了世界各国的地雷知识，出版了60余种手册，总结出26种科学的排雷方法，研制成功6种排雷新装备。他编写的《国际人道主义扫雷手册》，被联合国确定为援外扫雷基础教材。

至今，陈代荣还代表中国军队接受联合国委派，在世界上战火纷飞的冲突地区扫雷。他还创造了一个零伤亡的奇迹——在他扫过的雷区，至今都没有发生过雷患。

越国没有车，越国的人也一直都不懂得该如何造车。越人很希望学会造车的技术，好将车用在战场上，增强本国的军事力量。

有一次，一个越人到晋国去游玩。野外空气新鲜、风景美丽，他一路走一路看，不知不觉到了晋国和楚国交界的郊野。忽然，不远处的一件东西将他的视线吸引过去。“咦，这不是一辆车吗?”这个越人马上联想起在晋国见到过的车。这东西确实是辆车，不过毁坏得很厉害，所以才被人弃置在这里，这车的辐条已经腐朽，轮子毁坏，輗(ni)也折断了，车辕也毁了，上上下下没有一处完好的地方。但这个越人对车本来看得不真切，又一心想为没有车的家乡立一大功，就想办法把破车运了回去。

回到越国，这个越人便到处夸耀：“去我家看车吧，我弄到一辆车，是一辆真正的车呢，可棒了，我好不容易才搞到的呢!”于是，到他家去看车的人络绎不绝，大家都想一睹为快。几乎每一个人都听信了这个越人的炫耀之词，纷纷议论着说：“原来车就是这个样子的啊!”“看上去怕不能用吧，是不是损坏过呢?”“你不信先生的话吗?车一定本来就是这个样子的。”“对，我看也是。”这样，越人造起车来都摹仿这个车的形状。

后来，晋国和楚国的人见到越人造的车，都笑得直不起腰来，讥讽说：“越人实在太笨拙了，竟然将车都造成破车，哪里能用呢?”可是越人根本不理会晋人和楚人的讥讽，还是我行我素，造出了一辆辆的破车。

终于有一天，战争爆发了，敌人大兵压境，就要侵入越国领土了。越人一点也不惊慌，从容应战，他们都觉得现在有车了，再没什么可怕的，越人驾着破车向敌军冲过去，才冲了没多远，破车就散了架，在地上滚得七零八落，越国士兵也纷纷从车上跌落下来。敌军趁乱杀将过来，把越人的阵形冲得乱七八糟，越人抵挡不住，死的死，逃的逃，投降的投降，兵败如山倒。可是直到最后，他们也不知道自己是败在了车上。

向别人学习当然是对的，但是应该有所选择，去其糟粕，取其精华。要是连糟粕也一并纳入怀中，就会栽跟头了。

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

寓言，就是把一些难以理解的寓意写成一个个故事，让人么去读懂。中国古代寓言故事收集了许多寓言，让大家只要读一本书，就可以明白许多道理。

整本书中，讲的最多的就是要团结友爱，互帮互助。如《守纪律的海鸟》这篇文章，里面讲了一种海鸟，这种海鸟很傻，还很笨拙，但他们重视一群一群活动，很守纪律，一起飞，一起睡，就连吃东西也一起吃，从不争先，所以，没人敢伤害它们，可见，团结友爱多么重要啊。

此外，这本书还用《画蛇添足》告诉我们：不要把事干过头。用《亡羊补牢》让我们明白，做错了事，与其后悔，不如加以改正，做得更好……

这本书里还有许多故事，许多寓言，这都是古人智慧结晶，让我们去好好读一读吧！

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

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.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!
