篇1:端午节的英语小学作文带翻译

全文共 1732 字

+ 加入清单

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.

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your letter which finally caught up with me in London. I suppose youre keen to hear how the trip has been so far. So heres a short description of whats happened.

Well, you remember we left Sydney on Monday and arrived in London 24 hours later. After such a long and exhausting flight the first thing we did was to have a good, long sleep. And after that?a good meal to make up for all that horrible airline stuff!

The first real day of our holiday was spent just walking around London to get a feel of the place. After that, however, we were more particular and planned each day carefully.

First, we looked at all the historical sights, such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, the British Museum and the National Gallery. Then we visited some other famous places, such as Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath. Finally, we took a one-day trip to Oxford, which is really the most marvelous town. You should make sure to go there when you visit England.

After we had seen a lot of London, we flew to Paris. A t first, we didnt like the place-I suppose because it was so different from London. Later, though, we began to really love it and started to appreciate its differentness.

The final stage of our trip is a visit to Rome, after which we will be staying in Singapore for two days before returning to Australia.

Hope everyone is well. See you soon.

篇20:中秋节小学生英语作文

全文共 2303 字

Moonquakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating moonquakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat.

It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hour Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hour Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely.

Hour Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Err,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.

The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zing was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message.

When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why moonquakes are eaten at this time.

Moonquakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the ry and the type of filling used. Some ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalized ones to friends and family.

They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional moonquakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health.

Moonquakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
