在28天的寒假中,我看到了也听到了许多事情,有的令人无奈,有的令人高兴,有的令人惊讶。

红火新年大堵车

腊月二十五日晚,我和爸爸妈妈开车去大润发超市置办年货。没想到原本十几分钟的车程竟用了近一个小时。我坐在车上,望着车窗外。只见车灯连在一起,汇成了一条灯河。各种车辆的喇叭声此起彼伏,冲击着我的耳朵。轿车走走停停,十分钟过去了,我们的车只挪动了几厘米。窗外,交警在认真地指挥着交通。我暗暗想:“这就是过年,平时看不到这样壮观的场面的。”

过年喜禁放烟花

春节前夕,本地的电视报纸就开始大力宣传今年春节城区内禁放烟花爆竹。听到这个消息,我高兴极了。以往的大年三十,天刚黑下来,震耳欲聋的鞭炮声就“如约”响起,鞭炮声吵得我没法看央视春晚,连家人交谈都需要大声喊。今年终于禁放鞭炮了,我们再也不用忍受着震耳欲聋的鞭炮声了,我们再也不用大声地说话了,我们终于可以过一个文明、祥和、安静的中国年了。

全球都过中国年

央视春晚的前半个小时,央视一台在播新闻,我惊讶的看到世界上许多地方都在热闹闹地过中国年,就连日本的东京、美国纽约的唐人街也出现了舞狮者的身影。中国年正在影响着全世界。全世界都在过中国年。想到这儿,我不禁自豪万分。

寒假丰富多彩,开阔了我的视野,丰富了我的知识,加深了我对中国春节的认识和理解。

“五岳归来不看山,黄山归来不看岳”。前年,我终于有幸领略到了天下第一奇山——黄山的奇绝。

黄山以奇松、怪石、云海、温泉、冬雪五绝闻名于世。内有72峰、1500种植物、500种动物、为5A级旅游风景区。

前年暑假,我们全家人去了黄山。首先,我们看到的是五绝中的奇松当中的一种——迎客松,它扎根在山崖中,一棵棵枝如铁、干如铜,可它扎根在山崖中,一棵棵如铁、如铜,可它的枝丫又像一只只手在热情欢迎每一位客人的到来。据说,黄山还有陪客松、送客松等十大名松。过去还曾有人编写了《名松谱》,上面记载着成千上万的名松,真是“无树不松,无石不松,无松不奇,无奇不有。”

沿着一个个台阶往上爬,我们看到了许多怪石,看,这个“金鸡叫天门”,一只金鸡正立在那儿像要展翅高飞呢!但往上走一会儿,朝下一看,那只金鸡摇身一变,变成了五位白发苍苍的长胡须老人,所以又名“五老上天都”。旁边的“飞来石”、“苏武牧羊”等怪石也是形态各异、栩栩如生。

现在满头大汗的我们经过几番辛苦总算到了黄山的中心:玉屏楼。走上去往下看,变化多端的云海尽收眼底。休息了一会儿,我们继续向上走,来到了瀑布下。雄伟的瀑布的水像白绸带往下落,可是声音却震耳欲聋,似火山爆发,如惊涛拍岸,真是壮观。古人赞曰:飞泉不让匡庐瀑,峭壁撑天挂九龙。

又爬了许多台阶,气喘吁吁的我们用汗水撒满了一路的惊叹与快乐。终于爬上了黄山的顶峰——光明顶,踩着白云往下看,那如诗如画如梦似幻的黄山图,我们醉了……

我的家乡在杭州,这里有如诗如画的西湖,有古朴自然的西溪湿地,还有与万里长城相媲美的人工奇迹——京杭大运河。

京杭大运河是世界上里程最长、工程最大、最古老的运河之一,是中国古代劳动人民创造的一项伟大工程。可谁曾想到,运河曾经有一段痛苦的回忆。我收集了许多珍贵的历史图片,它们似乎在控诉这一段历史。瞧,旧照片里房屋低矮破旧,岸边杂草丛生,芦苇挡道。河面上,垃圾肆意漂流,一到夏天就臭气熏天,难以忍受,让生活在岸边的居民苦不堪言。来往的货船更是少之又少。运河的水乌黑发臭,废物随意排放,导致鱼虾死亡无数。值得庆幸的是这污浊不堪的运河已成为过去。

如今的运河可美了!瞧,两岸的公园经常有居民在散步、遛狗、跳舞。运河的四季都是绿色的,常年青翠。白天,河边的柳树随风舞动,摇摆着绿色的长发;桃花绽开了美丽的笑脸,水上巴士来来往往,喜迎各方来客。而当夜幕降临时,晚霞照着京杭大运河与西湖文化广场、胜利河美食街等建筑物仿佛被涂上了暖暖的红色。运河两岸的霓虹灯都亮了起来,许多彩灯闪闪点点,红的、黄的、绿的、紫的……让人看得眼花缭乱。

我爱京杭大运河,爱她的悠久历史,爱她的文化底蕴,更爱她重获新生的美好未来。我要保护美丽的京杭大运河。

小朋友们最喜欢的节日一定是过年了!因为过年即能收到压岁钱又能得到衣服,真是令人开心!

关于压岁钱的由来,据说有一个传说。很久很久以前,有一个叫“崇”的小妖怪每到大年三十的晚上就来到人间摘破坏。它来到熟睡的孩子头上摸一下,孩子就吓得哇哇大哭,醒来后便开始说呓语。然后这些聪明的孩子都变成了傻子,每天只知道疯疯癫癫地玩。“崇”怕亮光,因此,人们每到大年三十的晚上,都点着灯,守在孩子的身边,不敢睡觉,这叫“守崇”。有一对老夫妻,年纪很大了才得到了个孩子。大年三十的晚上,夫妻俩点着蜡烛,守在孩子旁边,忽然吹来了一阵风,蜡烛灭了。“崇”飘到了孩子的头上,准备摸的时侯,枕头下的红包里闪出一道耀眼的红色光芒。“崇”一看大哭一顿,便逃走了。第二天,夫妻俩把自己发红包给孩子,把“崇”吓走的事情告诉大家。原来,那八枚铜钱是一位神仙变成的,他在暗中帮助孩子。

讲了这么个故事大家知道压岁钱的由来了吧!大年三十的晚上,小朋友是不是都会收到长辈的红包,这代表着长辈对我们的祝福!

april fools day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. no one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in france.

传统上来讲,愚人节这一天,人们可以相互搞恶作剧,骗人跑腿,欺骗不知情的人。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的,但人们普遍认为它源自法国。

the closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in france. new years was celebrated on march 25 and celebrations lasted until april 1st. when new years day as changed from march 25 to january 1st in the mid-1560s by king charles ix, there were some people who still celebrated it on april 1st and those people were called april fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年,在法国。那时,当时法国新年是在3月25日,一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期,国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日,而还有一些人在4月1日过新年,这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。

pranks performed on april fools day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoes untied!), to the elaborate. setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fools day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单(比如,说句“你鞋带开了!”),有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如,在愚人节那天,曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”,以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧,搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句:"四月傻瓜!"

april fools day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物,也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日,但是在这一天,每个人都要保持警醒,不然就要被人耍啦。

each country celebrates april fools differently. in france, the april fools is called "april fish" (poisson davril). the french fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "poisson davril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国,愚人节被称作“april fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的:把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上,当有人发现的时候,他们就会喊:“poisson davril!”.

in england, tricks can be played only in the morning. if a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". in scotland, april fools day is 48 hours long and you are called an "april gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. the second day in scotlands april fools is called taily day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. taily days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "kick me" sign.

在英国,只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了,那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰,愚人节要持续2天,被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做taily day,恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。

篇19:关于中美文化的不同英语作文

文化差异何其大 美国为何难以理解中国

Do the events that led to the outbreak of the first world war carry lessons for the Sino-American relationship? A century ago it was the ascent of Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm I thatunsettled the world; today a rising China is roiling east Asia. Then, as now, domestic politicson both sides played a role; one that is too easily neglected.

导致一战爆发的事件对中美关系有什么启发意义吗?一个世纪以前,德国在威廉一世(Kaiser Wilhelm I)领导下的崛起让世界感到不安;如今,中国的崛起让东亚感到不安。当时和现在一样,对立双方的国内政治都发挥了作用——这是一个太容易被人们忽视的因素。

Why did Britain and Germany – linked by trade, dynastic ties, culture and religion – findthemselves at war in August 1914? In part, as historian Paul Kennedy has argued, it wasbecause London’s liberal ideology contributed to its perception of a growing German threat.

1914年8月,存在贸易、王朝纽带、文化和宗教联系的英国和德国为何开战?从某种程度上来说,正如历史学家保罗肯尼迪(Paul Kennedy)所指出的,那是因为伦敦的自由主义意识形态强化了其关于德国威胁日益加剧的认识。

Filtered through liberalism’s lens, Germany looked militarist, autocratic, mercantilist and statist– and contempt for the country’s political culture added to London’s disquiet. When the warbegan, it quickly came to be seen as a liberal crusade against “Prussianism”.

透过自由主义“棱镜”,德国给人看到的是军国主义、独裁、重商主义和计划经济——而对该国政治文化的鄙视也增加了伦敦的不安。当战争爆发时,人们立刻将之视为一场讨伐“普鲁士主义”的自由主义战争。

In this respect, today’s Sino-American rivalry resembles the pre-1914 Anglo-Germanantagonism. The speed of China’s growth worries US policy makers, as do the geopoliticalimplications of its economic transformation.

从这个方面来说,当今的中美对抗类似于1914年以前的英德对抗。中国的发展速度让美国政策制定者感到担忧,其经济改革对地缘政治的影响同样让美国不安。

Across the American political spectrum, China’s success is attributed to its failure to play bythe rules of free trade – for instance, its habit of manipulating the value of its currency andengaging in industrial espionage. Market-oriented liberalism is the dominant ideology in theUS and, as in pre-1914 Britain, it shapes policy makers’ image of their supposed adversary.

在美国政界上下看来,中国的成功得益于其没有遵守自由贸易规则,例如惯于操纵汇率,以及从事工业间谍活动。以市场为导向的自由主义是美国的主要意识形态,而正如1914年前的英国一样,它决定了政策制定者对他们所以为的对手的印象。

American leaders view China as a nation whose undemocratic political system raises doubtsabout both the scope of its foreign policy ambitions and its trustworthiness as a diplomaticpartner. Moreover, China’s combination of political authoritarianism and state-directedcapitalism causes unease because it challenges the supposed universality of the Americanmodel of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism.

在美国领导人的眼里,中国不民主的政治体制令人怀疑其外交政策雄心的范围,以及其作为外交合作伙伴的可信赖性。此外,中国政治威权主义与国家资本主义的结合令人不安,原因是它挑战了美国模式的自由主义民主和自由市场资本主义的所谓普适性。

Aaron Friedberg, a Princeton University professor, says that for Americans, “the success of amainland [Chinese] regime that blends authoritarian rule with market-driven economics is anaffront.” For members of the US foreign-policy elite, the Chinese threat is not so muchgeopolitical as ideological.

普林斯顿大学(Princeton University)的阿龙弗里德伯格(Aaron Friedberg)教授表示,在美国人看来,“中国大陆政权将威权统治和市场导向的经济学结合在一起所取得的成功是一种侮辱”。对美国上层外交政策制定者来说,中国威胁更多是意识形态层面的,而不是地缘政治上的。

Powerful external and domestic forces are putting the US and China on the road toconfrontation. China aspires to be the regional hegemon in east (and southeast) Asia. The US– the incumbent hegemon, having dominated the region since 1945 – is blocking its path.

各种强有力的内外因素正把美中推上对抗之路。中国渴望成为东亚(以及东南亚)地区的霸主,而自1945年以来主导该地区的现任霸主美国则拦在路上。

Yet America’s predominance in east Asia contributes little to the security of a nation whosegeography and unsurpassed military capabilities would anyway make it close to invulnerable.The US is the most secure great power in history – even more so if you factor in thedeterrent effect of nuclear weapons. The true cause of American insecurity is not animminent encroachment on its territory but the risk that US alliances – especially with Japan –will draw it into a regional conflict.

然而,在东亚地区的主导地位并不会让美国更安全——不管怎样,美国所处的地理位置和拥有的无可匹敌的军事能力让其处于一种近乎无懈可击的状态。美国是历史上最安全的大国——如果你考虑到核武器的威慑作用,就会更肯定这一点。美国真正的不安全因素不是其疆域会遭到入侵,而是同盟关系——尤其是美日同盟——将其拖入地区冲突的风险。

The US wants to maintain its east Asian dominance to keep the region’s markets open toAmerican goods and its people open to liberal ideas. China threatens this openness, on whichAmerica’s security is wrongly believed to depend.

美国希望保持在东亚地区的主导地位,以让该地区的市场继续向美国商品开放,其民众继续接受自由主义思想的熏陶。中国威胁到了这种开放,而美国的安全被错误地以为依赖于这种开放。

The liberal assumptions embedded in American foreign policy put the US at odds with China,and also heighten Beijing’s mistrust of Washington’s intentions and ambitions. The spiral ofanimosity that threatens to culminate in a confrontation between the two countries is inlarge part a creation of American policy.

美国外交政策中蕴含的自由主义思想导致美国与中国立场不一致,也加深了北京方面对华盛顿意图和抱负的不信任感。这种不断增长的、有可能在两国对抗中达到顶峰的敌意,在很大程度上是美国政策导致的。

As China’s rises, Washington has a last clear chance to avoid the looming Sino-Americanconflict.

在中国的崛起过程中,美国有最后的避让机会,可以避免不断迫近眼前的中美冲突真正爆发。

This would entail making real concessions on Taiwan and on China’s territorial claims in the Eastand South China Seas. It would also involve a commitment that Washington would notinterfere in China’s internal affairs.

这需要美国在台湾xx以及中国涉及东中国海和南中国海的领土主张上做出真正的妥协。此外美国也需承诺不干预中国内部事务。

America’s political culture – based on exceptionalism, liberal ideology, and openness – is a bigobstacle to coming to terms with a resurgent China. So is the fact that the foreign-policy eliteremains wedded to American primacy, and refuses to accept that this will inevitably slip awaybecause of the relative decline of US power.

美国建立在例外主义、自由主义思想和开放观念等基础之上的政治文化,是影响美国接受复兴的中国的一大障碍。另一个障碍是,美国外交政策圈子中的精英们依然痴迷于“美国主导地位”,并拒绝接受这种地位随着美国实力相对衰落必将丧失的观点。

History is also a problem.

历史也是一个问题

US policy makers are quick to invoke what they take to be the lessons of the 1930s whileoverlooking the causes of the first world war. David Calleo, a professor at Johns Hopkins, hasobserved that what we should learn from the earlier conflict “is not so much the need forvigilance against aggressors, but the ruinous consequences of refusing reasonableaccommodation to upstarts”.

美国政策制定者迅速摆出他们从上世纪30年代事件中归纳的教训,却无视一战的起因。约翰斯-霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)的戴维卡莱奥(David Calleo)教授指出,我们应该从更早那场冲突中学到的主要教训,“不是必须警惕侵略者,而是拒绝合理包容新崛起者将带来破坏性后果”。

If the US wants to avoid a future conflict with China, it cannot allow liberal ideology toobstruct a reconciliation with an ever more powerful China. That is the real lesson of 1914.

如果美国想要避免未来与中国发生冲突,就不能让自由主义意识形态妨碍它与越来越强大的中国修好。这是1914年带给我们的真正教训。

A new year ,a new start,when I stand on the edge of  a new year,I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.
