早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

My brother and I nodded. It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has such a

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.
