关于端午节的英语故事

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday,
occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农
历史五月第五天)

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义
的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China, and the one with the
longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat Festival is
celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons.
Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a
drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are
traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭
救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned
(溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C.
Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with
cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the
rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the
custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebration's is a time for protection (防护) from
evil (邪恶) and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It
is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy
herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营
养品), and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evil's
nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做...)
stand (直立)an egg on it's end at exactly 12：00 noon, the
following year will be a lucky one.
