全文共 1496 字

University culture 大学传统

Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.

The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but its important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold blind date parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.

光棍节最先在90年代的江苏南京各大高校兴起。之所以叫“光棍节”是因为这一天的日子有四个光棍一样的“1”。大学生们毕业了,把这个传统带到了社会上,光棍节就成了时尚青年们的一个特殊节日。

主流的庆祝方式就是和光棍朋友们一起搓一顿,而且一定要实行AA制。为了脱离单身,人们也会举办相亲会,介绍单身男女认识。

Creative celebration 新奇庆祝

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.

Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend blind date parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning single the four ones of the date can also mean only one as in the only one for me. Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only one in their heart.

光棍节的早上,单身青年们会吃四根油条,代表11.11的四个“1”,再吃一个包子,代表11和11之间的那个点。

很多单身朋友选择在这一天告别单身,一些人参加相亲会,一些人则在今天结婚。四个“1”不仅可以代表单身,还可以代表“唯一”,这也成了一些人的爱情告白日。

每个人都有自己崇拜的人,这个人就是我们的偶像。下面是小编为您带来的是介绍偶像英语作文相关内容,希望对您有所帮助。

Everyone has their own most admired, maybe he is a musician, perhaps a military family may be rare gifts and bold strategy, a person close to you...... The person I admire most is a strategist in the Eastern Han Dynasty - Zhu Geliang.

Zhu Geliang is clever and resourceful and always answers calmly whenever danger comes.

I remember once, Liu Bei in the fight against the Wei army, sent Zhu Geliang, Wei Yan led the 300 thousand army stationed in yangping. One day, Wei Yan led the 250 thousand army to fight against Cao Cao, leaving only a million people in the second. Just 250 thousand people led by Jima Ya against the Malay Hinata, Wei Yan and Sima Yi staggered road. When Zhu Geliang knew that Sima Yi was coming, he sent the frightened soldiers back to the gate and opened the gate. Only a few old men were cleaning in the street. Sima Yi knew that Zhu Geliang is very calm, he suspected an ambush, he goes away.

It can be seen from Zhu Geliangs, I must learn him properly!

人人都有自己最钦佩的人,他也许是一位音乐家,也许是一位雄才大略的军事家,也许是你身边的一个人……而我最钦佩的人是东汉时期一个军事家——诸葛亮。

诸葛亮机智聪明,每当危险来临时,总会沉着的应对。

记得有一次,刘备在对抗魏国大军时,派诸葛亮、魏延带领30万大军驻守阳平。一天,魏延率领25万大军去攻打曹操,只留万人在阳平。正好司马懿也率领25万人马来攻打阳平,魏延与司马懿错开道路。诸葛亮知道司马懿要来了,就让惊慌的士兵回到城楼上,打开城门,只让几个老头在街上打扫。司马懿知道诸葛亮十分沉着冷静,便怀疑有伏兵,就带兵走了。

从这件事就可以看出诸葛亮的神机妙算,我以后一定要好好地学习他啊!

篇20:介绍扬州的英语

全文共 2439 字

Yangzhou (simplified Chinese:扬州) is a prefecture-level city in central Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China. Sitting on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, it borders the provincial capital of Nanjing to the southwest, Huaian to the north, Yancheng to the northeast, Taizhou to the east, and Zhenjiang across the river to the south. Historically it is one of the wealthiest of Chinas cities, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, painters, and scholars.

Geography and climate

Rivers: the Yangtze River, Jinghang Canal, Baoshe River, Datong River, Beichengzi River, Tongyang Canal, Xintongyang Canal, Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Shaobo Lake.

Local landscape: Slender west lake, Ge garden, He garden, Da ming temple, Phoenix island, etc. Subtropical monsoon climate with humid changeable wind; longer winters for about 4 months, summers 3 months and shorter springs and autumns, 2 months respectively; frost-free period of 222 days and annual average sunshine of 2177 hours. Average temperature: 15 °C annually; the hottest in July of 27.6 °C and the coldest in January of 1.7 °C; maximum temperature of 39.8 °C and minimum 19 °C

The annual average precipitation is 1,030 mm, and about 45 percent of rainfall is concentrated in the summer. The rainy season known as "plum rain season" usually lasts from mid-June to late July. During this season, the plums are ripening, hence the name plum rain.

Cuisine

Yangzhou dishes may be one of the reasons why the people of Yangzhou are so infatuated with their city. They have an appealing color, aroma, taste and appearance. The original color of each ingredient is preserved after cooking, and no oily sauce is added, so as to retain the fresh savor of the food.

In Yangzhou all dishes, whether cheap or expensive, are elaborate. Cooks will not scrimp on their work, even with Zhugansi (stewed sliced dry bean curd), a popular dish that costs only a few yuan. Dry bean curd is made by each restaurant that serves it, so the flavor is guaranteed. The cook slices the 1-cm-thick curd into 30 shreds, each one paper-thin but none broken, and then stews them for hours with chopped bamboo shoots and shelled shrimps in chicken soup. In this way the dry bean curd shreds can soak up the flavor of the other ingredients, and the soup is clear but savory. It is not only Yangzhou cooks but also the ordinary people who are conscientious about cooking.
