中国传统节日和民俗简介(附英文).pdf
中国传统节日Traditional Chinese holiday 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、 吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家 庭团聚。因此，中秋节(TheMid-autumnFestival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。 ，除了常见的家禽和春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday) 肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如饺子和年糕。 端午节The Duanwu Festival 端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人 敬仰的大臣,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终 投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈 原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 春节The Spring Festival 在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它 是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因 为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备 过节。通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一 年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。 大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁 钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一 个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。 元旦New Year's Day -day holiday, so I can go out have fun Today is the New Year’s Day.

Dear distinguished chief judge; As the defense attorney of my client, I have made many surveys in secret after I took over the case.

Therefore , I want to show my opinions to you, and I hope the chief would accept them . . 1. The stolen car was found abandoned three hours after the theft with the engine still warm; at the time the car was found, my client was at the airport to meet the flight of a friend who was flying into town. 2. Lab analysis of muddy shoe prints on the floor mat of the car indicates that the prints came from a size 27 shoe; your client wears a size 25. 3. Lab analysis shows the presence of cigarette smoke in the car, but your client does not smoke. 4. The only eyewitness to the crime, who was 20 meters from the car, said the thief "looked like" your client; yet the eyewitness admitted that at the time of the theft she was not wearing her contact lenses, which had been prescribed for improving distance vision. 5. The car was stolen at about I p.m.; your client testified that he was in a town 400 kilometers away at 11 a.m. 6. In a statement to police, the eyewitness described the thief as tall; your client is short. Because of all the doubtful points , I think it is unfair to found guilty of theft to my client. Moreover, the basic standard of criminal sanction is that taking facts as a basis and laws as the criterion, so I hope the chief judge will give a reasonable judgment to my client finally. That’s all ,thanks.

中国、西方所有传统节日英文释义
中国、西方传统节日相关英语释义 一、1月1日新年（New Year's Day） New Year's Day is the first day of the year. On the modern Gregorian calendar, it is celebrated on January 1, as it was also in ancient Rome (though other dates were also used in Rome). In all countries using the Gregorian calendar, except for Israel, it is a public holiday, often celebrated with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the Julian calendar corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian calendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. January 1 marks the end of a period of remembrance of a particular passing year, especially on radio, television, and in newspapers, which usually starts right after Christmas Day. Publications often have year-end articles that review the changes during the previous year. Common topics include politics, natural disasters, music and the arts, and the listing of significant individuals who died during the past year. Often there are also articles on planned or expected changes in the coming year, such as the description of new laws that often take effect on January 1. This day is traditionally a religious feast, but since the 1900s has become an occasion for celebration the night of December 31, called New Year's Eve. There are often fireworks at midnight. Depending on the country, individuals may be allowed to burn fireworks, even if it is forbidden the rest of the year. It is also a memorable occasion to make New Year's resolutions, which they hope to fulfill in the coming year; the most popular ones in the western world include to stop tobacco smoking or drinking alcohol, or to lose weight or get physically fit. 二、2月14日情人节（Valentine's Day） St. Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid （爱神丘比特）, the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded（斩首）, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell

The Spring Festival（春节） The first day of the first lunar month is the New Year in the Chinese lunar calendar. Among the traditional Chinese festivals, this is the most important and the most bustling. Since it occurs at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, people also call it the Spring Festival. Chinese have many traditional customs relating to the Spring Festival. Since the 23rd day of the 12th lunar montha, people start to prepare for the event. Every family will undertake thorough cleaning, do their Spring Festival shopping, create paper-cuts for window decoration, put up New Year picturesb, write Spring Festival coupletsc, make New Year cakesd, and also prepare all kinds of food to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. New Year's Eve is the time for a happy reunion of all family members, when they sit around the table to have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, talking and laughing, until daybreak, which is called "staying up to see the year out". When the bell tolls midnight on New Year's Eve, people eat dumplings. In ancient times, midnight was called zishi (a period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.). Dumplings (jiaozi) are eaten because it sounds the same as "change of the year and the day" in Chinese. From the first day of the lunar year, people pay New Year calls on relatives and friends, which is an important custom for the Spring Festival. Setting off firecrackers is the favorite activity of children in the Spring Festival. According to legend, this could drive off evil spirits. The continuous sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere, adding to the atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. Many places hold temple fairs. The wonderful dragon lantern dance and the lion dance performances, along with various handicraft articles and local snacks attract thousands of people. With the development of the times, some changes have taken place in

中英双语中国传统节日介绍
The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so it's not surprising to see a festival of lanterns. People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond. Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the "horse-racing" one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern. The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity. The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun. 翻译如下： 年底举行的中国新年庆祝活动,在正月15月的这一天. 灯笼一直是几个世纪 以来中国人的节日,所以没什么吃惊. 人们通常灯笼挂在花园外面的房子、船上. 这些指示标志灯的客人,是祖先的新年庆祝活动. 15点后两天大餐,这些灯照亮了回神后的世界. 丝绸、造纸、塑料灯笼形状和大小各不相同,通常多彩. 有蝴蝶形的、鸟、花、船. 其他都像龙、水果和动物的象征,一年. 最受欢迎的是一种花灯 " 赛马" 一、人物、动物,轮流在各地纵轴的花灯. 特别是粮食的元宵圆善或汤圆. 这些都是用与糯米粉圆、甜零食熟了汤,蔬菜、肉、虾米来填补。圆圆的形状,是象征团圆的整体性、完整性和团结. 元宵是和家人团聚的机会,使每一个人--青年人、老年人,不论贫富,都好好享受这个节日The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year.
