【翻译练习】
与大多数中国节日一样，
元宵节
同样有自己的特色小吃，
成为
“汤
圆”
(
也叫“元宵”
)
。汤圆
外形圆圆的，外皮由糯米制成，内陷或甜或辣。人们都说汤圆有
两个象
征之意，一为农历的
第一个月圆，二为家庭团聚圆满。元宵节传统习俗中还有一部分
是关于猜灯谜的游戏。在过
去，这些谜语大多出自于模糊的文学典故和中国古典文学
之中，
所以猜灯谜以前多为知识份
子的“领地”。踩高跷，敲大鼓和舞龙狮也是元宵节主要
的娱乐
活动。

请将下面的内容翻译成英文：
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
(minister),
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
(glutin
ous
dumplings)
和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密
布的南方省份。
参考译文：
The Duanwu Festival,
also called the Dragon Boat Festival,
is to memorate the patriotic poet Qu
Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal
and
highly
esteemed
minister,
who
brought
peace
and
prosperity
to
the
state
but
ended
up
drowning
himself
in
a
river
as
a
result
of being got to the
spot by boat and cast
glutinous
dumplings into the water,hoping that the fishes
ate
the
dumplings
instead
of
Qu
Yuan's
body.
For
thousands
of
years,
the
festival
has
been
marked
by
glutinous
dumplings
and
dragon
boat
races, especially in the southern provinces where
there
are many rivers and lakes.
“七夕节”，
农历七月七日，是一个
充满浪漫色彩的传统节日，
是庆祝牛郎和织女一年一度相会的日子。
他们的爱情不被允许，
因此
他们被驱逐而分隔于银河两岸。
每年的农历七月七日，
喜鹊会来搭桥
使
这对情侣来相会。如今，
一些传统的中国风俗仍在农村奉行，在城
市却已经削弱。然而，牛郎和织女的传说已经深入人心。近些年来，
尤其是城市的年轻
人把它当作中国的情人节来庆祝。因此，花店、酒
吧和商店的老板非常高兴，因为他们可
以卖出更多的商品。

中秋节
(the Mid-Autumn Festival)
__
汉族和少数民族来说都是
个传统的节日。拜月的习俗可以追
溯到古代夏商时期
(the Xia and
Shang <
/p>
Dynasties)
。按照中国的农历，八月为秋季的第二个月
，古时
称为中秋。农历八月十五这天，月亮满圆，于是中国人将这天定为中
秋节。圆形
__
人来说意味着家庭团聚，因此中秋
节也是个家庭团聚
的节日。这天，
儿女们会带着自己的家人到父
母家团聚。已经定居海
外的人有时会回来探望父母。
The
Mid-
Autumn
Festival
is
a
conventional
festival
for
both
the Han and minority nationalities in
China. The custom of
worshipping
the
moon
can
be
traced
back to
the ancient Xia and
Shang
Dynasties. Aording to Chinese lunar calendar,the
8th
month is the second month in autumn
and ancient people called
it
Mid-Autumn
(Zhongqiu
in
Chinese).
On
the
15th
day
of
the
8th
month of the lunar calendar, the moon
is extremely round and
the
Chinese
people
mark
it
Mid-
Autumn
Festival.
The
round
shape
to
Chinese means family reunion, therefore the Mid-
Autumn
Festival is also a holiday for
members of a family to get
together. On
that day, sons and daughters will bring their
family members back to their
parents'home for a reunion, and
people
who
have
already
settled
overseas
sometimes
will
e
back
to visit their parents.
每年农历九月初九，人们会庆祝重阳节（
the Double
Ninth
Festival)
。《易经》
(The Book of Changes)
认为数字“九”是阳
数，故重九也叫重阳。登高是最受欢迎的重阳节传统之一。九月天空
高远，空气新鲜
，
在这样的日子登高有助于保持身体健康。吃重阳糕
(doub
le-ninth cake)
跟登高有关。重阳糕作为节日食品最初用来庆
祝秋收，后来发展成登高、
吃重阳糕的习俗，寓意是我们的生活将越
来越好。由于“九九”谐音“久久”，重阳节如今已被赋予新涵义—
老
人节。
On
the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese
lunar
calendar, people celebrate the
Double Ninth Festival. Nine is
a
yang
number
(a
traditional
Chinese
spiritual
concept)
in
The
Book of
Changes, so Double Ninth is called ng
the
mountains
is
one
of
the
most
popular
traditions
on
that
day.
In
September
the
sky
is
high
and
the
air
is
fresh,
and
climbing
the mountains is
helpful to keep physical fitness. The
tradition of eating double-ninth cakes
is associated with
climbing the
mountains. As a kind of festival foods, the
double-ninth cake was first used to
celebrate the autumn
harvest. Later, it
developed into the custom of climbing the
mountains and eating double-ninth
cakes, which means that our
life will
bee better and better. Because double ninth sounds
like longevity (jiujiu in Chinese), the
Double Ninth Festival
nowadays has been
given a new meaning-Seniors' Day.
