关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

as riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

people will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "yuanxiao festival."yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. it is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat,

dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. it tastes sweet and delicious. what’s more, tangyuan in chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. so people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

in the daytime of the festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance,

walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. on the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. most families spare some fireworks from the spring festival and let them off in the lantern festival. some local

Tomorrow is fathers day, and my fathers busy figure is shaking in front of

my eyes, how can I express my love for my father? Id like to go, oh, yeah, thats

Fathers day came, and I said to my mother, "mom, today is fathers day. Lets

"we are..."

My mother and I messed up the house, as if we didnt know anything. Dad went

home, looked at his house and asked, "do you know what day it is?" My mother

said, "let me see, is the world anti-drug day?" "No." Dad pointed to the day on

the clock. I cried out, "its our banjis birthday!" Dad listened, as if his heart

room and said, "happy fathers day!" Then my father hugged me and mom, and we all

laughed.

明天就是父亲节，爸爸忙碌的身影在我眼前晃来晃去，用什么方法表达对爸爸的爱呢?我想来想去，哦，对了，就用这种方法吧。

父亲节如期而至，我对妈妈说：“妈妈，今天就是父亲节了，我们给爸爸一个惊喜吧。”妈妈说：“好。”我贴在妈妈的耳边，小声地说：“我们就这样……”

我和妈妈把家里弄乱，好像什么都不知道。爸爸回家了，看了看家里，问：“你们知道今天是什么日子吗?”妈妈说：“让我想想，是世界禁毒日吗?”“不是。”爸爸指了指钟表上的日子。我大声说道：“是我们班季彦良的生日!”爸爸听了，好像心都碎了。 爸爸低着头，走进了房间。这时，我和妈妈闯进了房间里，同声说：“父亲节快乐!”这时，爸爸一把抱住了我和妈妈，我们都笑了。

这是我家今年最快乐的一天。

今年的父亲节，我终于深深地感觉到了不在爸妈身边，我会有多么想念他们，感觉就像过了好几年那么长，估计是我太想他们了吧。你们想我了没有啊?

转眼间，我就长大了，时间真是好快啊。也正是因为这样，有时候我就会想起小时候的事。

This years fathers day, I finally feel that Im not around my parents,

how much I miss them. Its like several years. I guess I miss them too much. Do

you miss me? In a flash, I grow up. Time is really fast. Because of this,

sometimes I think of my childhood.

还记得小时候你骑着自行车带着我在快车道上飞奔，只为了怕我上学迟到，追我要坐的公车;还记得我忘了带作业，你怕老师训我，不管多忙，天气多不好，你都会来学校给我送;还记得，小学的时候，老师说你是模范家长;还记得我生病肚子疼，大半夜哭着叫你帮我揉肚子，你也会困得睡着，但马上又会清醒继续帮我揉，就这样一直到天亮;还记得小时候，每次洗澡我躺在浴盆里，你都会帮我搓澡;还记得，我的脏衣服满地乱扔的时候，你会默默地把地上的衣服捡走，帮我洗干净;还记得小时候你为了送我去学琴，大冬天骑着摩托车，把腿都吹坏了，现在还经常会疼;还记得你为了工作，经常东奔西跑，忙得头发都变白了;还记得你每天早上都最早起来为我和妈妈买饭，让我和妈妈醒来总会看到桌子上摆着各式各样的早餐;还记得在我为了上学难过的时候你总会说：“没事儿，还有爸爸呢!”

I still remember when I was a child, you took me on a bicycle and galloped

in the fast lane just for fear that I would be late for school to catch the bus

I wanted to take; you also remembered that I forgot to take my homework, you

were afraid that the teacher would scold me, no matter how busy or how bad the

weather was, you would come to the school to send it to me; you also remembered

that in primary school, the teacher said you were a model parent; Remember that

when I was sick and had stomachache, I cried to ask you to knead my belly for me

in the middle of the night, and you would be sleepy to sleep, but you would

immediately wake up and continue to knead for me until dawn; remember that when

I was a child, every time I was lying in the bathtub, you would help me to rub

the bath; remember that when my dirty clothes were thrown around, you would

silently pick up the clothes on the ground and clean them for me; I still

remember when you were a kid, you blew my legs in order to send me to learn the

piano, and you often hurt in the winter when riding a motorcycle. I still

remember that you often ran around for work, and your hair turned white. I still

remember that you got up at the earliest time every morning to buy food for my

mother and me, so that my mother and I would wake up and see all kinds of

breakfast on the table; I remember when I was sad for school, you always said,

"its OK, and Dad!"

The environment is everything around us,for example,air,water,animals,plants,buildings and so on.They all affect us in many ways and closely related to our lives.People cant live without the environment. Everybody needs to breathe air,drink water and eat food every day.We burn coal to keep warm,and we use wood to make paper.As a result,we become the part of the environment.

The environment has been getting wores and wores for many years.We have been upgrading our living standard, meanwhile the environment has been polluted.Somke form factory chimneys pollutesthe air.Machines and engines make noises that annoy us constantly.Animals are homeless because the forcests are decreasing every minute.Streets are crowded with people and vehicles.The environment painful for us to live in it now.So its time to solve those problems.

Fortunately,it isnt too late to correct our mistake.People are coming to realiza the importance of the environment.We have begun to try our best to improve it.Laws are being made dealing with air, water and noise pollution.The river be bright,the sky will be clear,the flowers will be beautiful,and the sunbeam will be dazzling and pretty.We believe that we wil be able to save our environment and live in a better world

It rained all day yesterday, today, the sun smiling up, I feel happy!

The water beside the road was covered with a thin layer of ice. Pedestrians dressed in thick cotton padded clothes, waiting for the bus people to rub their hands and stamp their feet, they also felt the cold in winter. The trees at the school gate were left with bare branches. The two little sparrows stood on their branches and jumped as if they were cold and doing exercises!

Winter is coming. I hope spring will come soon!

Today is June 20th is Fathers Day, Dad is a great name, he carries the

responsibility of the family, and I have grown up on Dads shoulders for as long

as I can remember.

I remember that when I was a child, I had a high fever, and my father

hurriedly carried me to the hospital. The doctor said, "Its fine, just get an

injection..." I fell asleep and heard this vaguely.

In the evening, my father called me up and said, "Come on, drink the

medicine before going to bed." I took a sip, it was bitter, and I said I dont

want to drink it, so my father brought me a piece of candy and said, "You After

you drink the medicine, I will give you the sugar." At that time, I didnt

understand, so I thought sugar was the best thing, so I drank the medicine, put

the sugar in my mouth, and then fell asleep...

In the middle of the night, I vaguely felt a hand touching my forehead, I

opened my eyes slightly, and saw that my father was sitting on the edge of my

bed, gently touching my head, I turned around and lay on the bed, Tears flowed

down.

Today is Fathers Day. My sister bought a belt for my uncle. After I saw

it, I lowered my head and didnt know how to face my father, but my father

smiled at me and said, "Dad doesnt need any gifts, as long as you eat more and

gain weight. , dont be like a bean sprout, its the best gift for Dad." Dad,

you are the best dad in the world, Dad, I love you! Happy Fathers Day!

The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

叮叮当，叮叮当，铃声多响亮，圣诞节快到了!我想家乐福等大卖场一定挤满购买装饰品及圣诞礼物的人潮，热热闹闹的更有温暖的气氛。

许多地方摆满了红红绿绿的圣诞红，有的地方也一一竖起又高又大的树木，挂上缤纷亮丽的灯饰及大大小小的卡片及小饰品就成了非常漂亮的圣诞树。街上还不时看到胡须洁白如雪，戴着红红尖帽的圣诞老公公，挥舞双手向人们热情打招呼。如果世界上真的有圣诞老公公的话，我想向他祈求一把小提琴和一双跳跳鞋作为我的圣诞礼物。

我希望圣诞老公公能送我一把小提琴，因为在学校常看到许多同学拉着小提琴，演奏一首又一首美妙的乐曲，常让我听到入迷。小时候我喜欢拿着玩具提琴，摸着那有弹性的琴弦及弓，感觉很有趣。读幼儿园大班时我有学过小提琴，还曾上台表演。但上小学后就没继续学琴了，现在我也完全忘记怎么拉琴，真可惜!如果圣诞老公公真的送我一把小提琴，我要好好表现，再请求妈妈可以让我上提琴课，学会真正演奏的技巧，将美妙的音乐分享给大家。

如果可以，我还希望能有一双“跳跳鞋”当圣诞礼物。因为我每天走路上学都要走好远。如果我有“跳跳鞋”，我要上学时只要穿上它，跳个二下不到五分钟就可以到学校了，又快又方便。可是我也担心如果穿上它出去玩，遇到山洞或隧道，会不会跳的太高撞的满头包。如果没有这个礼物也没关系，我也喜欢每天走路上学，路上可以看见许多洁白的鹭鸶在社区觅食，还可以看到很多草地上的小黄花。走路上学既可以看让身体健康又可以看到漂亮的风景，也是件令人开心的事!

如果圣诞老公公真的达成我的愿望，我会好好珍惜得到的礼物。我也要感谢在寒风中辛苦奔波的圣诞老公公，因为他很辛苦跑来跑去的送给许多人礼物，让大家都能心想事成。希望温馨欢乐的圣诞节能快快到来，也祝福大家都能平平安安、快快乐乐。

Is it good for students to do some housework？ Some people think students need not do any housework。 They think the only thing students need do is to study well。 I don’t think so。 It is good for students to do some housework for three reasons。 Firstly， to do some housework can make you independent。 You can’t depend on others all your life。So you should learn to do some housework now。 Secondly， to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ， some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise。 Finally， to do some housework can share your parents’ work 。They must be happy if you say” Have a rest ， and I will do the housework”So I think it is good for students to do some housework。
