端午节的由来的英语作文（精彩20篇）

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the

traditional Chinese festivals. Itfalls on the 15th day of august lunar month

every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too

many people can reject he temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I

have two reasons.

First of all, mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunite. In china, people

regard mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will

come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this

festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by

all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional

festival. There are laws to make sure people have holidays in that special day.

In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get

together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal in that day. All the food is

delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interest in

delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration for mid-autumn day. It

tastes good, too. It is the traditional for a long time. How pleased to enjoy

the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love mid-autumn festival so much. It is funny and happy

time.

There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best

policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be

honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are

in trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a

dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public

enemy.

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I can#39;t help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying："Well began is the half of the success."So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，I#39;m quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

In the winter vacation life I have seen such a story to share with you:

Boone smile day, boone to visit a client, but unfortunately, they didnt

reach an agreement. Boone very upset, come back later told the story to the

manager. Tell the manager listened patiently boone, silent for a moment and

said, "you might as well go again, but should adjust their own state, always

remember to smile, use your smile to impress each other, so that he can see your

sincerity."

Boone to try to do it, he behaved himself very optimistic, very sincere,

has been permeated with a smile on his face. Results each other have also been

infected by boone, they happily signed agreement.

Boone have been married for 18 years, every morning to go to work. Busy

life let he forgot his beloved wife, he seldom smile to his wife. Boone decided

to give it a try and see what difference smile will bring their marriage.

The next morning, boone comb my hair looked in the mirror is smiling at

frail, the scowl on his face. When he sat down to eat breakfast, he greeted Mrs.

With a smile. She amazed, very excited. In this two weeks, boone felt more

happiness than in the past two years.

Boone often sincerely compliment, now stop talking about their needs and

annoyance. He tried to see things from other peoples opinions. All this really

changed his life, he gained more joy and friendship.

This story gave me the message, do anything to adjust their own state of

mind, always remember to use the smile, set each other, play with your smile so

that he can see your sincerity. A smile can bring warmth, friendship, can bring

happiness. So in the work, life will smile to face, in a good state of mind to

treat people and things around.

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

农历五月初五为端午节，也称端阳节。是日清晨，家家户户门头插柳枝，有为屈原招魂和避瘟疫之意。小孩手腕系五色棉线或丝线绳，身佩香囊荷包，并在口、鼻、耳边涂抹雄黄酒，相传这样可以避五毒（即蛇、蝎、壁虎、蟾蜍、蜈蚣）。武威有五月端午穿出来”的说法，男女青少年身着时兴的夏装，尽情游玩。青年妇女讲究绣香草荷包，缀上流苏，赠送亲友。旧时，未出嫁的姑娘将荷包带在衣襟或系在发辫上，诱人摘取，如不被人摘去，便会自惭貌丑。是日，家家吃粽子或油饼子卷糕，亲友间相互馈送。下午，城乡居民成群结伴，游览寺庙，旧时游海子，现在海水干涸，庙宇也毁于地震，改游文庙、古钟楼、雷台、海藏公园、西郊公园等。小孩到野外攀树折枝，编制柳帽，以预防暑气。

传说中秋节是这么来的，元代一个叫朱元璋的人和百姓们一起抗击元朝统治。军师刘伯温曾经想出一个计谋，既然元朝官兵守卫十分严密，传递消息十分困难，那就把要八月十五起的消息纸条藏在饼里发送给予各地的起义军。果然计谋奏效了，大家团结一气，最后打胜仗了。起义军与民共乐，把发信息的“月饼”分发给大家吃，从此以后月饼就诞生了。

月饼是中秋节不可或缺的东西，中国人会在中秋节日都吃上一块月饼。那月饼是什么样的呢?就让我来介绍介绍吧!月饼表达的意思是团团圆圆，月饼的外表是金黄金黄的饼皮，上面还印了一个个各种各样的花纹，十分漂亮，光看外表就让人直流口水，再加上馅就更加美味了。月饼的馅有很多种口味，数也数不完，吃也吃不尽似的，有绿豆的、有五仁的、有莲蓉蛋黄的、还有纯莲蓉的……我最喜欢的是莲蓉蛋黄月饼和五仁月饼。莲蓉蛋黄月饼是最经典的口味之一，轻轻咬下，我们会先尝到莲蓉馅的香甜和绵软，入口即化，再往里咬一口满嘴都是香浓的咸蛋黄味，这时甜与咸交融在一起，竟然不会冲突，而是相辅相成，让整个月饼不甜不腻，恰到好处，它的美味真让人抵挡不住。如果是吃货一定会一次吃个饱。五仁月饼的馅是杏仁、桃仁、花生仁、麻仁和瓜子仁，正因为五种果仁它才被称为“五仁月饼”。吃下一口会感到又干又涩，但当我们慢慢把馅嚼烂后，这时就会有满嘴的果仁香，一会儿是黑芝麻浓郁的香气，一会儿是瓜子仁清淡的香味，一会儿又杏仁的果香……

中秋佳节，我们开始吃团圆饭，好丰盛啊，有螃蟹、有鱼、有牛肉，我们一家人围坐在饭桌前吃着美味佳肴，欣赏中秋晚会。

今年内天大家都那么开心，因为家人们都团聚在一起是一件很幸福的事。

"五月五，是端阳。门插艾，香满堂。吃粽子，洒白酒。龙船下水喜洋洋。"大家一听到这首童谣，一定会想到端午节。今天，我就来讲一下端午节吧！

端午，又称为端阳节、重午节、天中节、夏节、五月节、菖节等。但是，要说大家最熟悉的，还是端午节这个名字呢！有的人甚至听都没听说过这些别称。

要说能代表端午节的，当然无过于吃粽子了。端午节这天，大家有的自己做，有的上街买，在端午节，几乎没人不吃粽子。当然了，作为吃货，我怎能不吃呢？每到端午节，我们家还举行吃粽子比赛！买上两袋粽子，下令开吃，我们就一起狼吞虎咽，但是最后获胜的往往不是我。

我还听过一个关于粽子来历的故事：在古代，有一个人叫屈原，他向皇帝提了利国利民的建议，但是那昏庸的皇帝并没有采纳，他很愤，就投河自尽了。人们为了纪念他，做了一个透明棺材，放进了水池里。为了能给屈原贡一些贡品，就把用糯米做的竹筒粽子一一扔进水池里。过了几天，人们才发现水池里有鱼，那些粽子都被鱼吃掉了。人们很生气。这时，有一个人叫道：“大家伙，鱼最怕菱角，可以用干净的草叶去包糯米，做成菱角的！”以后，人们将包好的粽子扔进水池，鱼一看到糯米粽子，以为是菱角，就不敢吃了。久而久之，人们就把它叫成“粽子”了。

再来讲一讲赛龙舟的来历吧！当时，人们因为舍不得屈原死去，就都乘着小船，来打捞屈原。他们争先恐后，但是当追到洞庭湖时，却不见了踪影。此后，每年的农历五月初五，人们都会举行划龙舟庆祝。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的尸体。这个风俗，吴国、越国等等都最先采纳。清乾隆二十九年台湾开始有龙舟竞渡，当时，台湾知府蒋元君也曾经主持过友谊赛呢！一直到现在，台湾也仍旧在保持着每年五月初五赛龙舟的端午节习俗。

此外，端午节还有挂艾叶的习惯：在端午节，家家门前都会有许多艾叶放在门口，有些心灵手巧的人，还会做荷包哩！将一块布剪出各种各样的形状，在里面塞满艾叶，小朋友们最喜欢佩戴了！据说，佩戴荷包还可以僻邪驱瘴呢！。用菖蒲作剑，插在门楣里，还有驱魔祛鬼的神奇效果呢！

端午节的习俗可真多呀！

In the summer vacation is very meaningful for me, because I met a special

"friend" -- the tortoise.

The appearance of the tortoise is very silly, bravery, small, easily

indented his head into the shell, but because of this, I like talking to it,

what secret all tell it, the tortoise seems to understand. A few days to get

along with down, our relationship has been very deep.

Someone says: love is not necessarily have, also can be let go. Everyone

has his own family, tortoise, too, so I decided to let the turtle go home. I

took the decision to tell dad, dad said I was a sensible child, also promised to

take the turtle home with me.

Along the way, I firmly hold the tortoise and the turtle seemed to

understand that we are about to separate, very good to lay in my arms. Dad and I

found a very clean in the reservoir, where we are and the tortoise took a group

photo, then put the turtle in the water. Looking at the turtle swam slowly to

the water, my tears constantly supposed although there are countless heart

loathe to give up, but love it should not let it go? I waved and said,

"good-bye, tortoise, I wish you a speedy reunion with my family." Turtle swam

for a while, and turned to head looked at us, and then swam to the bottom. My

father and I you look at me, I see you, everyone laughed happily.

Look, what a meaningful summer vacation!

Almost every kid will be asked the question of whom do you like better,

your mother or your father. There is no doubt that mother is very great as she

gives you the life, while father is also of importance. Father’s Day is invented

to show gratitude to fathers. Its coming has a story.

The first person to propose the idea of Father’s Day was Mrs. Dodd in 1906.

She wanted a special day to honor her father, whose wife passed away many years

ago. At first, Mrs. Dodd wanted Father’s Day to be celebrated on her father’s

birthday, but later President Johnson signed a paper to declare the third Sunday

of June was Father’s Day. Since then, it became an international day. It is not

only to honor one’s father, but also the fathers of all the people.

Father’s Day reminds people to show gratitude to their fathers, who loves

you all the time and no matter what difficulty you meet, he will stand by your

side. So however busy we are, we should call them now and then.

What a colorful world of the fall,this is a credit to the leaves,they have

red and green,the autumn dress up like a large garden.

Red maple leaves,like palms,just five piece children.Leaves a small number

of prominent teeth,the base of the heart-shaped,dark green to dark green above

to below the axillary vein has hair sense,the edge is also trimmed with lace

irregular.Bark grayish brown,with the old growth,the surface grooves and

scales.Maple leaves,autumn brings a festive and warm.

Holly tree is the symbol of vitality,crown thriving,flourish.Leaves

oval,pointed at both ends,like the two tilt of the boat.Stem and leaf surface

veins is very clear,long from bottom to top,from coarse to fine.The front of

dark green leaves,very smooth,negative light green,because there are many

prominent veins and coarse stems.Holly leaves have wavy lines on the edge of the

same jagged,but not scratchy.

The campus,red maple,holly green,a passionate,full of vitality,this is

really the mental outlook of our young pioneers it!I love autumn,I love the fall

on campus.

今天我一大早就起床了，因为今天是端午节，我又要吃到香甜可口的粽子了。

我忽然听到门外有动静，仔细一听：轩轩，我买了糯米和红枣，你找好朋友美池一起包粽子吧。只听咚咚！咚咚！的敲门声，我打开门真是洋溢轩，我们两个互相拥抱后，便准备包粽子了。

我小时候就盼望着能吃上自己包的粽子，今天如愿以偿。我将一碗糯米倒扣在案板上，轻轻把碗拿起，一个碗型的饭团端端正正的呈现在眼前。我用手捧着饭团在案板上不停的旋转，我把饭团切成三角形的，又在每个三角形上面摁下一个个闪闪发光的大红枣。还在上面撒上了白糖。然后我们就一丝不苟的往上裹鲜海苔，最后缠上线绳。一个个身穿海苔的粽子宝宝诞生了！再看看洋溢轩，她竟然做了一个个菱形的粽子，真有创意啊！

十几分钟后，我打开锅盖一股香味沁入心脾，各种形状的粽子让人垂涎三尺，我迫不及待的拿一个，不顾一切的咬了一口，里面露出了一一颗颗糯米，还有大红枣。啊，好香！我情不自禁的赞叹道。我一连吃了好几个，那香甜的粽子让我回味无穷。

今天我过了一个快乐的端午节。

导语：端午节那天人们都会举行划龙舟活动，你对这项活动有什么了解的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination.

Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuans body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as Chinas Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."

【参考译文】

划龙舟是端午节不可缺少的一部分，在全国各地举行。当枪被发射时，人们会看到在龙形独木舟中的运动员们在快速的鼓声中快速和谐地拉着桨，向着目的地飞驰而去。

民间故事说游戏来源于寻找屈原的尸体，但专家的活动，经过艰苦细致的研究，得出这样的结论：赛龙舟是一种半宗教半娱乐性的节目从战国时期(公元前475-221)。在以后的几千年里，游戏传播到日本、越南、英国以及中国的台湾和香港。龙舟运动已发展成为具有中国传统和现代体育精神的水上运动项目。1980，它被列入国家体育竞赛项目，此后每年举行。该奖项被称为“屈原杯。”

From the earliest time to the present days, viewpoints concerning human

nature were vehemently contended among prominent philosophers. Mencius believed

human nature is good, and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. While,

Xunzi deemed human are basically evil who need to be changed by man-made.

As it is widely known, human nature is that indestructible matrix upon

which the character is built. Accordingly, to a large extent, the basic nature

of human beings cannot be changed. On the other hand, each of us is naturally

endowed with diverse both qualities and personalities, which makes us unfold an

apparently distinct character. Then, it is hard for one to change his nature

fundamentally. Regardless of whether nature is innate or habitus acquired, they

were both a consistently developing courses that cannot be easily changed in a

short time. Last but not the least, external influencing factors, like

religious, education and even social institutions can merely direct our nature

on account of the most limited control. Thus, it is only the surface that is

capable of alteration, improvement and refinement.

In a word, the basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change and

also no one can fundamentally change his nature in the short time. But people

can make it perfect.

今天是农历五月初五端午节，我们一家人在饭厅快快乐乐的吃着粽子，我突然问爸爸：“端午节是怎么来的呢？”爸爸说他也不知道，其他人也纷纷表示不知道。于是，我只好自己去翻书查找。

相传在古代，楚国谋士―屈原深受楚怀王的重用。那些卑鄙小人就经常在楚怀王面前说屈原的坏话，楚怀王渐渐不用他了，屈原见自己的政治抱负不能实现，悲愤不已。有一回强大的秦国派人找楚怀王议和，屈原看出这是秦王的阴谋，便去劝阻楚怀王，没想到楚怀王不但不听他的，还将他驱逐出都城。结果楚怀王一到秦国就被关机牢房里，三年后因忧郁成疾死在了秦国。楚怀王死后，楚襄王即位后，整天吃了玩，不理朝政，楚国一天一天衰弱下去。屈原多次劝说楚襄王，反而被流放到了遥远的汨罗江边。后来亲王占领了楚国的都城，屈原知道了这个消息后悲痛万分，因不愿做亡国奴而于农历五月初五这天跳进了滚滚的汨罗江里，后来百姓们为了保全屈原的尸体而往江里面投放粽子和鸡蛋，希望江里的鱼不要吃屈原，还把船装扮成龙的样子在江面上划来划去以便驱赶水怪。从此为了纪念屈原的爱国精神，就把每年的农历五月初五定为端午节。

喔，原来端午节是这样来的。

从世界各地来看，读书节已成为当代社会的文化景观，而且是最近20年的新风潮。不过，现代意义上的第一个“读书节”，最早可追溯到1926年西班牙国王首次设立的“西班牙自由节”，并把伟大作家塞万提斯的生日10月7日作为这个节日的庆祝日。

From all over the world, Reading Festival has become the cultural landscape of contemporary society, and it is a new trend in recent 20 years. However, the first "Reading Festival" in the modern sense, the earliest can be traced back to 1926, the king of Spain for the first time to set up a "Spanish freedom festival", and the great writer Cervantess birthday in October 7th as a celebration of the holiday.

1930年庆祝活动移到4月23日――塞万提斯的忌日，碰巧这一天也是加泰罗尼亚地区大众节日“圣乔治节”。传说中勇士乔治屠龙救公主，并获得了公主回赠的礼物――一本书，象征着知识与力量。每到这一天，加泰罗尼亚的妇女们就给丈夫或男朋友赠送一本书，男人们则会回赠一枝玫瑰花。由此相沿成习，如今每到这一天，书籍减价10%，玫瑰花的价格则陡然上涨。

Celebration on 1930 to April 23rd -- the anniversary of the death of Cervantes, to this day is also the Catalonia area public holiday "St. Georges day". The legend goes that the knight George slew a dragon and saved a princess, and was granted a gift in return: a book, representing knowledge and power. Every year on this day, Catalonia women will give a book to their husband or boyfriend, the men will give a rose. Thus become a custom through long time usage, and now every day, the book price by 10%, prices rose sharply rise.

世界读书日就来源于此。巧合的是，这天是著名作家塞万提斯、莎士比亚、维加3位著名文学大师的辞世纪念日，又是美国作家纳博科夫、法国作家莫里斯・德鲁昂、冰岛诺贝尔文学奖得主拉克斯内斯等多位文学家的生日。巧合之外，则是人们对书籍的热爱和对阅读重要性的深层认识。主旋律都是一样的：无论是年老还是年轻，无论是贫穷还是富有，无论是患病还是健康，都能享受阅读的乐趣，都能尊重和感谢为人类文明作出巨大贡献的文学、文化、科学思想大师们，都能保护知识产权。

World Book Day comes from this. Coincidentally, this is the famous writer Cervantes died, Shakespeare Vega, 3 famous literary masters of the day, and Nabokov, French writer USA writer Maurice de Rouen, Iceland Nobel prize winner Laks Ness and many other writers day. Coincidentally, is that people love of books and a deep understanding of the importance of reading. The main theme is the same: whether old or young, whether rich or poor, whether it is sick or healthy, can enjoy the pleasure of reading, respect and gratitude can make great contributions to human civilization, literature, culture, scientific thinking gurus, can protect the intellectual property rights.
