闹元宵赏花灯是我们中国人的传统习惯。快乐的元宵节转眼就到了，大街上张灯结彩，一片喜气洋洋。

晚餐过后，我和爸爸、妈妈开开心心一起开车去顺峰山公园看花灯。我们来到顺峰山公园大门前，欢迎我们的是一座栩栩如生的“凤凰”。“凤凰”的两旁还有两朵花，两朵花里还有金色大字，左边的是万事胜意，另外一边是如意吉祥。“凤凰”还一时闪蓝光，一时闪红光，一时又变色，色彩缤纷，变幻无穷，充满节日喜庆气氛。我们开车进去，发现车多得可以摆一个迷宫都行了，想找一个车位停都有点困难。我看见顺峰山公园不但停车位是快停满了，就是公园里人数也多得惊人，人山人海。我发现游人中有的是我们学校的同学，有的是从千里迢迢赶过来的外地游客，还有的是附近的居民来到这里跳舞健身。大部分的人都是来看元宵花灯的，只有少部分是坚持锻炼的居民。

广场前面就是花灯展示区，五彩缤纷的花灯在夜色中闪耀着迷人的光彩。这次花灯不仅环保，而且五光十色，光彩夺目。我们发现今年的花灯响应了环保低碳，全部是用废物利用精心制作的。就拿“一帆风顺”来说吧，用了废报纸和旧绳子拼出一艘帆船，比喻今年顺顺利利，得到了人们的喜爱，所以得到了银奖。我最喜欢的花灯还是“蛇年平安”的花灯。它是一个苹果形状的网状灯笼，中间有一条蛇突出一个舌头，造型特别可爱。那个灯笼用的材料是竹子等环保材料，做得那么精美别致，创意无限。长大以后我一定要像做“蛇年平安”花灯的人一样，学会环保，用无限的想象力做一些环保的小制作，支持环境保护，做一个有道德有创意的文明人。

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. This years Lantern

Festival, our school organized a unique "Happy Lantern Festival" activity!

Before the activity started, I came to the activity site of writing

couplets and waited. Look! The contestants smiled one by one. They all looked

confident. You and I exchanged the written content one by one. I calmly came to

the writing desk, took out the carefully prepared brush, drove light and

familiar to write seriously, and soon a few big words came out.

Then, I quickly joined the lively activity of wrapping dumplings. Kneading

noodles is the first and crucial step in making dumplings. Our group poured the

prepared flour into the basin, poured some water, kneaded a large dough with the

help of the students parents, and then distributed it equally to each member.

Everyone thought and thought. They added all kinds of juice to the dough. After

kneading, it became colorful and very beautiful. Just listen to "the dumpling

filling is coming..." everyone, you argue with me and start wrapping dumplings.

I first squeezed the dough in the palm of my hand and patted it into a cake

shape, then closed my palm slightly and added stuffing to it. At this time, I

accidentally threw sesame sugar all over the floor in a hurry. I regret it! It

took a lot of effort to make several dumplings. The students next to them are

not like this. They pinch the dough of appropriate size, gently flatten it and

add stuffing, then put their hands up, rub it, and gently knead it into small

and exquisite dumplings. It is a sharp contrast with my dumplings, which is

enviable.

When the glutinous rice balls are put into the pot, we wait nearby. Its

called a hurry. We cant wait to eat them directly from the pot! After a long

waiting period, the glutinous rice balls finally came out of the pot. With a

gentle bite, the soft skin immediately melted away in my mouth. The smell of

fruit juice and sesame came to my nostrils and turned into a wonderful force.

Once and again, it made me particularly satisfied and gave me endless

aftertaste.

At the end of the activity, the students gathered to take a group photo of

the class. Although I stood at the edge, I smiled brightly because I was

particularly happy today. This is this years Lantern Festival - a lively

Festival!

元宵节是我国传统节日，今年的元宵节，我们学校组织了一场别开生面的“欢乐闹元宵”活动!

活动还没开始，我便来到写对联的活动现场等待，瞧!选手们一个个面露笑容，都是一副胸有成竹的样子，你一句我一句交流着书写的内容。我不慌不忙地来到书写台前，拿出精心准备好的毛笔，驾轻熟路地认真书写起来，不一会儿端端正正的几个大字就出来了。

紧接着，我又快速加入到热闹非凡的包汤圆活动中。揉面是包汤圆的第一步，也非常关键的一步，我们小组把事先准备好的面粉倒入面盆里，倒入些水，在学生家长的帮助下，揉出了个大面团，而后等分的分配给每个成员。大家各思奇想，往面团里加了各色果汁，揉搓后成了五颜六色，十分好看。只听“汤圆馅来了……”，大家你争我抢地开始包汤圆。我先把面团捏在手掌心里，拍成饼状，再手掌微微合拢，往里面加馅，就在这时不小心手忙脚乱地把芝麻糖撒了一地，后悔极了!好不容易费了九牛二虎之力搓成了几个汤圆。旁边的同学可不这样，他们捏起大小合适的面团，轻轻压平后往里加馅，然后双手往上一顶，搓一搓，轻轻一揉就成一个个小巧玲珑的汤圆，和我的汤圆放在一起，简直就是鲜明的对比，令人好生羡慕。

当汤圆下锅时，我们在旁边等着，那叫一个急啊，恨不得直接从锅里捞上来就吃!在漫长的等待期后，汤圆终于出锅了，我轻轻一咬，柔嫩的外皮在嘴里立马化掉，果汁的味儿和芝麻的味儿扑鼻而来，化为一股奇妙的力量，一次一次让我格外满足，让我回味无穷。

活动结束时，同学们聚在一起拍班级合影，我虽然站在最边上的位置，但我笑得却很灿烂，因为我今天格外开心。这就是今年的元宵节——一个热闹的节日!

The Lantern Festival, of course, in the morning should eat a bowl of steaming hot dumplings. Dumplings made with sticky dough rub, powder white, thin, on the pot steamed for a while. Cooked dumplings, like a lovely baby. A bite, very hot hot black sesame roll like water flowing into the lungs and mouth is filled with thick sesame flavor, emotions and thoughts on the tip of the tongue with that kind of sweet honey and taste, represents a HeHeMuMu life.

In the evening, I go play outside, streets are decorated, the most beautiful is the moat. City moat lights, thronged. I wander in the light of the world, watch carefully, lifelike gold fish lamp, image lifelike lotus lamp, of primitive simplicity and elegant palace lantern, all kinds of lights elegant, exquisite decoration, fine workmanship, really make a person dazzling, breathtaking. In a calm river, which reflects the light shadow, as if under the river also lit a lamp. There was a slight breeze, surface ripples, light shadow followed the wobbly.

"Good!" Attracted by a burst of cheers me, turned out to be nearby someone guess riddles. I also want to guess in the past, but we had too many people, formed a "person" wall, enclosed as the stage of guess riddles. I stand outside the people wall, listening to the sounds of laughter from inside. The host began to say lantern riddle: "a man a mouth (guess a word)." I thought to myself: what is that? Im thinking of, an old man raised his hand, replied: "is a or word." The host and smiling said: "congratulations to you, right." The words sound just fell and around there was a thunderous applause.

The Lantern Festival, the boisterous festival, in the laughter of people in the end.

元宵节，早晨起床当然应该吃一碗热气腾腾的汤圆。汤圆用黏黏的面团搓成，有大有小，有粉有白，放在锅里蒸上一会儿。煮好的汤圆，像一个个可爱的胖娃娃。咬一口，烫烫的黑芝麻像流水般滚入心脾，嘴巴里充满了浓浓的芝麻味，舌尖上留着那种甜蜜蜜的情思和味道，代表着一家和和睦睦的生活。

晚上，我到外边去玩，大街小巷都张灯结彩，最美的还要数护城河边了。护城河边灯光辉煌，人声鼎沸。我漫游在这灯的世界，细细观赏，栩栩如生的金鱼灯，形象逼真的莲花灯，古朴典雅的宫灯——各式各样的彩灯造型优美，装饰考究，做工精细，真让人眼花缭乱，美不胜收。在平静的河面上，映照出了灯的影子，好像河的底下也点着一盏似的。一阵微风拂过，河面上微波荡漾，灯的影子也跟着摇摇晃晃了。

“好!”一阵喝彩声吸引住了我，原来是不远处有人在猜灯谜。我也想过去猜猜，可无奈人太多，形成了一堵‘人’墙，把猜灯谜的舞台围得水泄不通。我站在‘人’墙外，听着里面传来的阵阵欢笑声。主持人开始说灯谜了：“一人一张嘴(猜一字)。”我心想：那是什么呢?我正想着，一位老爷爷举起了手，回答道：“是个‘合’字。”主持人笑眯眯地说：“恭喜您，答对了。”话音刚落，周围就响起了一阵雷鸣般的掌声。

元宵节，这个热闹非凡的节日，在人们的欢笑声中结束。

I was so excited that night. When you do your homework, you have to go to the light meeting. Mom had no choice but to take me. There are lanterns, rabbit lights, monkey lights, chicken lights, and lotus lanterns... They shine in the moonlight, and my eyes are dazzled. The streets were decorated with lights and decorated. By the way, there are not only all kinds of colorful lights, but also colorful neon lights.

People came to the street in high spirits to watch the night scenes.

I seemed to enter the world of man and lamp.

The annual Lantern Festival started. Although we have to go to school, but also seems to be warm in the class. Make an exception in the afternoon, our class held a guess riddles activity, but I am interested in these activities, because Im waiting for the evening...

Finally back in the evening, the day has been completely HeiXia, from outside firecrackers and fireworks, the sky "flower" contend for open, look, a big fireworks lit again, the first round of "sou" fireworks into the dark night sky, with a florid chrysanthemum 1 of "dong" opening up in the air, followed by a again a fireworks blooming in the darkness of night, there are red, like a peony; Also a white, pear flower; There are red and white fireworks, is beautiful and beautiful. Their shapes are different: some like football. Some like eggs; Even some businessmen in order to business, but also their own trademark make fireworks, I just saw a mitsubishi marks of fireworks, I thought, now really advanced science and technology, even the fireworks can do it!

After a while, fireworks stopped. The sound but did not stop, because we heard a rustling sound, like a meteor shower, is we just wait and see, some petty pleasures, colorful confetti fall on our heads, we cried, laughing, hide...

The Lantern Festival is both interesting and fulfilling, let my mood again into the climax, really beautiful! In the blast a firecrackers and fireworks, my sweet sleep.

一年一度的元宵节开始了。虽然我们必须上学，但班上似乎也暖洋洋的。下午，我们班破例召开了猜灯谜活动，但我对这些活动兴趣一般，因为我等着晚上……

终于熬到了晚上，天已经完全黑下，外面不时传来鞭炮和礼花声，天上一朵朵“花”争着开放，看，又一个大的礼花点燃了，“嗖”的一声第一发礼花冲向黑黑的夜空，随着“咚”的一声一朵绚丽的菊花开放在空中，紧接着一朵又一朵的礼花在黑夜中绽放，有红的，像牡丹;也有白的，是梨花;还有红白相间的礼花，更是美上加美。他们的形状也各不相同：有的像足球;有的像鸡蛋;甚至有的商家为了生意，还把自己的商标做成礼花，我就看到了一个三菱标志的礼花，我心想：现在的科技真高级，连礼花都能做成这样!

过了一会儿，礼花停了。可是声音却没停，因为我们听到了一种沙沙的声音，好像流星雨一样，正在我们仰头观望的时候，一些碎碎的、五颜六色的纸屑落在了我们的头上身上，我们叫着、笑着、躲着……

这个元宵节既有趣又充实，让我自己的心情又一次进入了高潮，真美呀!在阵阵鞭炮和礼花声中，我甜甜的睡了。

The chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced.

Several explanations are hanging around.

All agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, wasoriginally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared.

One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian.

To nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it didswallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

The fifteenth day of the lunar month every year, Chinas peoples traditional Lantern Festival. On this day each year, every family will hang lantern, fireworks, in the doorway of his coax wood-pile, let the men of his own house in the New Year, thriving, happy!

每年的农历正月十五，是中国人民传统的元宵节。每年的这一天，家家户户都要挂彩灯，放烟火，在自家的门口哄旺火，让自己家里的人在新的一年里，红红火火，快快乐乐!

说起汤圆，我最喜欢吃了，我甚至觉得，这是人间第一极品。

今天，晚上妈妈从店里回来，给我们带了“三全凌汤圆”，雪白的汤圆就跳到我的眼帘。它是用糯米粉做的，一个个被搓得滚圆滚圆，特别惹人喜爱，我真想一口把它吃掉。

妈妈说：“我去煮汤圆”。不一会儿，汤圆开锅了，我就闻到一股扑鼻的香味，馋得我直流口水。快快先給我盛一碗，细看熟透的汤圆，晶莹透明，捎带褐色。裹在里面的猪油、芝麻、白糖隐约可见。我想象着;用小勺舀起一个汤圆放进嘴里，轻轻一咬，香喷喷、甜滋滋的馅就流出来了······

妈妈把盛好的汤圆端上桌，我欢呼着，迫不及待的拿着小勺在碗里挑了一个最大的，张嘴就咬。“哎呀，烫死我了!”我立刻放下手中的小勺，张大嘴巴，用手使劲的在嘴里扇着。爸爸妈妈看到了我的狼狈样，都忍不住笑了。妈妈舀起一个汤圆说：“还是我来示范一下吧!看，吃汤圆的时候应该先在上面咬一个小口，把馅儿吹凉一些，就可以大饱口福了!”“嗨，真是心急吃不了热汤圆啊!”说完，我按照妈妈传授的经验，细细的品尝起来。汤圆真甜，不仅甜在嘴里，更甜透了我的心······

我们美美的饱餐了一顿，似乎还意犹未尽。“三全凌汤圆”果然名不虚传。谁闻到味都想尝一尝。

正月十五元宵节，其乐融融闹花灯，喜气洋洋猜灯谜。这一天，我和妈妈吃过热腾腾的山粉糊，就来到塔苑参加元宵灯谜会。

虽然天气很冷，还下着淅淅沥沥的小雨，但是这里可真热闹!里面张灯结彩，十分漂亮。一盏盏六角宫灯挂在古色古香的廊檐下，每面都用毛笔字写着一条谜语。人们在灯下来来往往，川流不息，不断的抬起头，冲着灯指指点点。灯亮亮的，把人们的脸也照得红彤彤、喜洋洋的。四边墙上自上而下，整整齐齐地挂着五颜六色的纸条，上面也写着很多各式各样的谜语。

面对这么多谜语，很多人都拿着对谜卷，手里攥着笔，细细地边看边思考。有的人眉头紧锁，有的人笑容满面，一副信心满满的样子，还有的人拿着手机拼命地在网上查寻……小朋友们性子急，一猜出来就大喜过望，手舞足蹈，欢叫着、蹦跳着往对谜处狂奔。你看那边，一位带着老花镜的爷爷，正对着一条谜语若有所思，手里还捧着一本厚厚的书，看一看，想一想，翻一翻，一副很有耐心的样子……我在人群里还看到了许多班里的同学，大家齐心协力，努力思考，但个个谜语都使我们晕头转向，好不容易猜出一个喜出望外，直奔对谜处排队，但结果不是答错了，就是被人抢先了。最后还是爸爸妈妈们见多识广，猜中了好几个。但是，我们一点也不灰心，还是开开心心、说说笑笑地继续作战。

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.

According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

【翻译】

元宵节正月十五吃元宵的的习俗由来已久，元宵也叫“汤圆”、“圆子”。据说元宵象征合家团圆，吃元宵意味新的一年合家幸福、万事如意。

元宵节闹花灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。
