『伍』 介紹中國節日的英語作文！！

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year』 Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

端午節與春節和中秋節並列為中國三大節日。這三個節日中，它可能是最古老的一個，可以追溯到公元前227年的戰國時代。這個節日是為了紀念楚國的大夫屈原，他因為對朝廷的貪污腐敗感到絕望而投河自盡。鎮上的人紛紛沖上船去救他，卻沒有成功。後來大家把米撒到水裡，希望把飢餓的魚群從他的軀體邊引開。

多年以後，屈原逝世的故事逐漸演變成賽龍舟和吃粽子（一種包在竹葉中的米食）的傳統。這些競賽顯然激起了世界各地人們的想像，每年春天有將近60場龍舟賽在中國境外的城市舉辦，從溫哥華到悉尼，從波蘭的格但斯克到南非的開普敦。單單字加拿大就有將近50支龍舟隊伍，德國則有近30個。

那麼，為什麼端午節賽龍舟會吸引外國人呢？「這是一項不尋常的運動。」一位來自德國的參賽者說，「這並不是所有的人都在從事的運動。這正是龍舟隊的團隊精神如此高昂的原因之一，每個人都覺得自己在做一件很特別的事。」那麼粽子呢？「喔，我覺得它不難吃。」他說，「那是一種需要後天培養的品味。我只是還沒培養出來罷了。」

『柒』 用英語介紹三個有特色的西方節日

1、聖誕節Christmas

聖誕節又稱耶誕節，譯名為「基督彌撒」，它源自古羅馬人迎接新年的農神節，與基督教本無關系。

Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christ Mass", which originated from the Lunar New Year celebration in ancient Rome and has nothing to do with Christianity.

在基督教盛行羅馬帝國後，教廷隨波逐流地將這種民俗節日納入基督教體系，同時以慶祝耶穌的降生。

After the popularity of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the Holy See drifted this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

但在聖誕節這天不是耶穌的生辰，因為《聖經》未有記載耶穌具體生於哪天，同樣沒提到過有此種節日，是基督教吸收了古羅馬神話的結果。

But it is not Jesus'birthday on Christmas Day, because the Bible does not record when Jesus was born, nor does it mention such a festival, which is the result of Christianity's absorption of ancient Roman mythology.

2、萬聖節All Saints' Day

萬聖節又叫諸聖節，在每年的11月1日，是西方的傳統節日；而萬聖節前夜的10月31日是這個節日最熱鬧的時刻。在中文裡，常常把萬聖節前夜訛譯為萬聖節。

Halloween, also known as All Saints'Day, is a traditional Western Festival on November 1, and October 31, the eve of Halloween, is the most lively time of the festival. Halloween Eve is often translated into Halloween in Chinese.

3、復活節Easter Day

復活節是一個西方的重要節日，在每年春分月圓之後第一個星期日。

Easter is an important festival in the West. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon in the spring equinox every year.

基督徒認為，復活節象徵著重生與希望，為紀念耶穌基督於公元30到33年之間被釘死在十字架之後第三天復活的日子。

Christians believe that Easter symbolizes rebirth and hope in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after he was crucified between 30 and 33 A.D.

4、情人節Valentine『s Day

情人節，又稱聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節，日期在每年公歷的2月14日，是西方國家的傳統節日之一，起源於基督教。

Valentine's Day, also known as St. Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day, dates on February 14 of the Gregorian calendar, is one of the traditional festivals in Western countries, which originated from Christianity.

如今已經成為全世界著名的浪漫節日，但是不同國家的人們表達愛意的方式卻各不相同。

Now it has become a famous romantic festival all over the world, but people in different countries express their love in different ways.

5、愚人節April Fool's Day

愚人節也稱萬愚節、幽默節，愚人節。節期為公歷4月1日，是從19世紀開始在西方興起流行的民間節日，並未被任何國家認定為法定節日。

April Fool's Day is also called All Fools'Day, Humor's Day and April Fool's Day. The Festival is on April 1 of the Gregorian calendar. It is a popular folk festival in the West since the 19th century. It has not been recognized as a statutory Festival by any country.

在這一天人們以各種方式互相欺騙和捉弄，往往在玩笑的最後才揭穿並宣告捉弄對象為「愚人」。

On this day, people cheat and play tricks on each other in various ways, often at the end of the joke to expose and declare the target of the joke as "fool".

聖誕節的由來英文版

the name christmas is short for "christ\'s mass". a mass is a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to bedelivered. and she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

情人節的由來英文版-The Origin of St Valentine's Day
添加日期：2006-2-17 10:28:26｜閱讀：373
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（愛神丘比特）, 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（斬首）, 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 letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.

February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!

In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.

Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentines," a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in jail. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt（真心真意的）. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.

Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines. Handmade valentines created by cutting hearts out of colored paper, show that a lot of thought was put into making them personal. Valentines can be heart-shaped, or have hearts, the symbol of love, on them. In elementary schools children make valentines for their classmates and put them in a large decorated box, similar to a mailbox. On February 14, the teacher opens the box and distributes the valentines to each student. After the students read their valentines they have a small party with refreshments.

For teenagers and alts, major newspapers throughout the country have a Valentine's Day offer. Anyone can send in a message, for a small fee of course, destined for a would-be sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spouse of fifty years. The message is printed in a special section of the newspaper on February 14.

萬聖節（中，英文版）

關於萬聖節有這樣一個故事。是說有一個叫傑克的愛爾半蘭人，因為他對錢特別的吝嗇，就不允許他進入天堂，而被打入地獄。但是在那裡他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地獄，罰他提著燈籠永遠在人世里行走。 在十月三十一日愛爾蘭的孩子們用土豆和羅卜製作「傑克的燈籠」，他們把中間挖掉、表面上打洞並在里邊點上蠟燭。為村裡慶祝督伊德神的萬聖節，孩子們提著這種燈籠挨家挨戶乞計食物。?這種燈籠的愛爾蘭名字是「拿燈籠的傑克」或者「傑克的燈籠」，縮寫為Jack-o'-lantern ?在拼寫為jack-o-lantern。 現在你在大多數書里讀到的萬聖節只是孩子們開心的夜晚。在小學校里，萬聖節是每年十月份開始慶祝的。 孩子們會製作萬聖節的裝飾品：各種各樣桔紅色的南瓜燈。你可以用黑色的紙做一個可怕的造形??一個騎在掃帚把上戴著尖尖帽子的女巫飛過天空，或者是黑蝙蝠飛過月亮。這些都代表惡運。當然黑貓代表運氣更差。有時候會出現黑貓騎在女巫掃帚後面飛向天空的造形。 在萬聖節的晚上，我們都穿著爸爸媽媽的舊衣服和舊鞋子，戴上面具，打算外出。比我們小的孩子必須和他們的母親一塊出去，我們大一點的就一起鬨到領居家，按他們的門鈴並大聲喊道：「惡作劇還是招待！」意思是給我們吃的，要不我們就捉弄你。里邊的人們應該出?評價我們的化裝。 「噢！這是鬼，那是女巫，這是個老太婆。」 有時候他們會跟我們一起玩，假裝被鬼或者女巫嚇著了。但是他們通常會帶一些糖果或者蘋果放進我們的「惡作劇還是招待」的口袋裡。可是要是沒人回答門鈴或者是有人把我們趕開該怎麼辦呢？我們就捉弄他們，通常是拿一塊肥皂把他們的玻璃塗得亂七八糟。然後我們回家，數數誰的糖果最多。 還有一個典型的萬聖節花招是把一卷手紙拉開，不停地往樹上扔，直到樹全被白紙裹起?。除非下大雪或大雨把紙沖掉，紙會一直呆在樹上。這並不造成真正的傷害，只是把樹和院子搞亂，一種萬聖節的惡作劇。 HALLOWEEN One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern. Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern." The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom. And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes. Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.

復活節中英文介紹

A Sunday between March 22 and April 25
The meaning of many different customs observed ring Easter Sunday have been buried with time. Their origins lie in pre-Christian religions and Christianity. All in some way or another are a "salute to spring," marking re-birth. The white Easter lily has come to capture the glory of the holiday. The word "Easter" is named after Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A festival was held in her honor every year at the vernal equinox （春分）.

People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （復活）. Protestant settlers brought the custom of a sunrise service, a religious gathering at dawn, to the United States.

This year Easter will be celebrated on Sunday April 11, 2004. On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house. Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.

The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the" Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Why we dye, or color, and decorate eggs is not certain. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals. In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.

Egg Rolling

In England, Germany and some other countries, children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning, a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ's tomb when he was resurrected. British settlers brought this custom to the New World.

In the United States in the early nineteenth century, Dolly Madison, the wife of the fourth American President, organized an egg roll in Washington, D.C. She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building! The custom continued, except for the years ring the Civil War. In 1880, the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn. It has been held there ever since then, only canceled ring times of war. The event has grown, and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn. The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country. The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under. Alts are allowed only when accompanied by children!

Traditionally, many celebrants （司儀神父） bought new clothes for Easter which they wore to church. After church services, everyone went for a walk around the town. This led to the American custom of Easter parades all over the country. Perhaps the most famous is along Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Good Friday is a federal holiday in 16 states and many schools and businesses throughout the U.S. are closed on this Friday.

感恩節的由來Thanksgiving Day

Now I would like to give you some details about Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.

In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest.Finally the fields proced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed[2]. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.

The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.

『玖』 用英語介紹外國的節日

Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. It is traditionally celebrated on December 25 by most Western Christian churches. Although dating to probably as early as a.d. 200, the feast of Christmas did not become widespread until the Middle Ages. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. The word Christmas is derived from Middle English Christemasse. It is a contraction meaning "Christ's mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter X, an abbreviation for Christ.

Halloween in the October 31, in fact, praise and autumn festivals like Beltane is the festival of spring like the praise. Of ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland priest - druid to have a grand festival praise of autumn, from October 31 beginning at midnight the following day, November 1 continued all day.

萬聖節前夜就是"聖夜"的意思。然而，由於種種原因，萬聖節前夜已變成一年中最流行和最受歡迎的節日之一，許多玩家都以極大的熱情來慶祝這一節日。

萬聖節在10月31日，其實是贊美秋天的節日，就好像五朔節是贊美春天的節日一樣。古代高盧、不列顛和愛爾蘭的祭司--德魯伊德有一個贊美秋天的盛大節日，從10月31日午夜開始，次日11月1日持續整整一天。他們認為，在那天晚上他們偉大的死神--薩曼把那年死去人的鬼魂統統召來，這些惡鬼要受到托生為畜類的懲罰。當然，只要想到這種鬼魅的聚會，就足以令當時那些頭腦簡單的愚民膽戰心諒的了。於是他們點起沖天的篝火，並嚴密監視這些惡鬼。

萬聖節前夜到處有女巫和鬼魂的說法就是這么開始的。至今在歐洲某些與世隔絕的地區還有人相信這是真的。古羅馬人在11月1日也有一個節日，那是用來向他們的波莫娜女神表示敬意的。他們在熊筋的篝火前烤堅果和蘋果。我們自己的萬聖節前夜似乎就是由古羅馬人的節日與德魯伊德的節日揉合而成的。萬聖節前夜的活動原來是非常簡單的，而且大部分是在教堂里進行的。但在整個歐洲，人們都把萬聖節前夜看作盡情玩鬧、講鬼故事和互相嚇唬的好機會。於是人們不再把這節日用來贊美秋光，卻讓它變成神怪、巫婆和鬼魂的節日。
Today is thanks giving day. Frist of all, i would thank my parents who give me life and ecate me..Secondly,I would express the deepest gratitude to my grandparents who are the most important person who build up the whole family.Next,I am thankful to my brother and sister who accompany me all the way to grow up,,...Last but not least, my best friend worth who worth my whole hearted wish,who share the happiness and sorrow with me .

『拾』 向外國人介紹中秋節，英語作文

農歷八月十五日是中國的傳統節日——中秋節。在這天，每個家庭都團聚在一起，一家人共同觀賞象徵豐裕、和諧和幸運的圓月。此時，大人們吃著美味的月餅，品著熱騰騰的香茗，而孩子們則在一旁拉著兔子燈盡情玩耍。
