有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。

Only in the baby from crying wah-wah, that we invoke the first words whispered parents learn to walk the first time to walk small foot staggering along. The first time carrying a bag to school, the first test scores back, the first from their parents ... ... maybe youve never noted this many times in the first, in the growth of this long road to the parents how much to pay into the How much love. Every time you smile, every success, and even failed every time, every mistake in the minds of parents will never forget, to accompany you around, give you the support of silence ... ...

Although this is a heavy burden, but the babys "Wah-Wah" bring to the nursery, we grow up, parents spend much of the effort and sweat, how many days and nights weaving, parents have no complaints.

Small, I always love their parents as a matter of course, because I do not understand the hard work their parents do not know. Now, I grew up, and I know with a heart of Thanksgiving to appreciate their parents, should take care, the responsibility of your parents.

But how many people is to give top priority to the parents then? Some people always complain about their parents to do Oh, no, that does not, the behavior of parents and practices of selectivity, to accuse, or even directly contradict with their parents! Some people do not know their own physical health status of parents, parents do not remember their birthday, and some even their own parents in the work units which do not know, to think of it, parents pay so much for our energy and efforts ah!

When we are confronted with difficulties, to devote all of the people to help us parents.

When we make mistakes, we can not hesitate to forgive us, and parents.

When we succeed, would like for us to celebrate, to share with us the joy of the parents.

只有在婴儿哭哇音,我们调用第一句话小声说父母第一次学走路走小脚惊人。背着一个大包第一次上学,第一次考试成绩,第一次从父母……也许你从没注意到在第一,在这漫长的成长父母支付多少到多少爱。你每一次微笑,每一次成功,甚至是每一次失败,每一个错误在父母的心中永远不会忘记,来陪你,给你的支持沉默……

我们从哪里来?听到这个问题,我相信你会说,父母带给我们的世界。是的啊,13年前的那一天,我们的父母用泪水,微笑和快乐迎接我们的到来。我们来到这个世界上的时间,很多家长有一个繁重的工作——照顾我们。尽管这是一个沉重的负担,但婴儿的“哇音”的托儿所,我们长大了,父母花了很多的努力和汗水,多少个日夜编织,父母没有投诉。

小,我永远爱他们的父母是理所当然的事,因为我不了解努力工作他们的父母不知道。现在,我长大了,我知道用感恩的心去欣赏他们的父母,应该照顾父母的责任。

但有多少人是为首要任务的父母呢?一些人总是抱怨他们的父母去做哦,不,不,父母的行为和做法的选择性、指责,甚至与父母直接反驳!有些人不了解自己的身体健康状况的父母,父母不记得他们的生日,甚至一些自己父母的工作单位不知道,想想看,父母为我们支付这么多精力和努力啊!

当我们委屈的时候,要有耐心听我们哭的人,是父母。

当我们犯错误时,能毫不犹豫地原谅我们,父母。

当我们取得成功,希望为我们庆祝,与我们分享父母的快乐。

今天是八月十五，人们兴高采烈，以各种形式来欢度这个传统节日——中秋节。

每年农历八月十五日，是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。在中国的农历里，一年分为四季，每季又分为孟、仲、季三个部分，因而中秋也称仲秋。中秋节的传说是非常丰富的，嫦娥奔月、吴刚伐桂、玉兔捣药之类的神话故事广为流传。

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈来到了爷爷家，爷爷奶奶很热情地欢迎了我们。叔叔和姑姑两家人也一起来了，大家在一起共度佳节。为迎接大家，爷爷奶奶做了很丰盛的饭菜。大家一边说说笑笑，一边品尝着丰盛的团圆饭，大人们少不了喝酒，我们小孩便已饮料代替酒，互相祝福，浓浓的亲情在饭桌上互相传递，一家人在一起其乐融融。

吃月饼也是中秋节的一大习俗。相传元朝末年，朱元璋发动农民起义时，用月饼作为秘密传递通知的手段，约定八月十五日中秋节起义，并取得了很好的效果。后来人们以中秋节吃月饼来纪念起义军的胜利。现在，月饼已演变成合家团聚的象征。于是，吃过晚饭后，我们每人手里拿一块月饼，到楼下一边吃月饼，一边赏月。“月到中秋分外明”是的，今晚的月亮特别明亮。一轮金黄的圆月像一个银色的玉盘高高地挂在天空中，皎洁的月光，像水似地泻向大地，照亮了整个院子。天空中云很淡，风很轻，月光很美，这构成了一幅美丽的图画。

这中秋节真是令人难忘!中秋之夜也是这么的美丽!

In the 21st century, humans science economic development has reached a very high level. But I want to ask: do you have any aware of human activities on the environment will be what kind of impact?

The deforestation of the forest is not a serious problem? According to the survey the world forest area is in at an annual rate of millions of hectares of disappear. Caused a lot of water and soil loss, make many areas become desert. Scope of human activities in the declining, its not scary?

What human besides destroying forests, dont damage the environment problems? It is not. Now, we should see the seriousness of water pollution. At present, 60% of the country in the world face the shortage of water, 20% of the population is difficult to get clean water, 51% of the people do not have access to sanitary water. This is caused by what? Is, that we are causing ourselves now factories and sewage in our life, not by processing is out. This is not proof of that? According to research, each 1 cubic meter of sewage discharge, 14 cubic meters of natural water pollution. Think of it, this is what a terrible number?

In the discharge of smoke in the factory, we dont know the smoke is atmospheric pollution? Scientists have found that there are at least 100 species of air pollutants produced great harm to the environment, directly affect peoples health.

Do we want to live in such an environment? Certainly dont want to; Then let us use action to prove it! We can start from me, start from now, start from the side. Love nature, the consciousness of environment protection! To do propaganda environmental protection angel! Lets take action to protect the environment

在21世纪的今天，人类的科学经济发展已经达到了很高的水平。然而我想问：你们有没有意识到人类的活动对环境会造成怎样的影响呢?

森林的乱砍滥伐不就是一个严峻的问题吗?据调查全世界森林面积正以每年上千万公顷的速度在消失。造成大量的水土流失，使许多地区成为沙漠。人类的活动范围在不断减少，这不可怕吗?

人类除了破坏森林之外，难道就没有什么破坏环境的问题了吗?不是这样的。现在我们应该看到水污染的严重性，目前世界上60%的地区面临供水不足，已有20%的人口难以得到清洁水，51%的人无法得到卫生用水。这是什么造成的呢?是我们人类自己造成的，现在的工厂及我们生活中的污水，没有通过处理就排出去。这不是最好的证明吗?据研究，每排放1立方米污水，就污染14立方米天然水。想一想，这是多么可怕的数字?

在工厂排出的浓烟里，我们不知道浓烟是污染大气的吗?科学家发现，至少有100种大气污染物对环境产生极大危害，直接影响人们的健康。

难道我们想在这种环境中生活吗?当然不想;那让我们用行动来证明吧!我们可以从我做起，从现在做起，从身边做起。树立爱自然、爱护环境的意识吧!来做宣传环保的使者!让我们一起为保护环境行动起来吧

As the saying goes: snow is a symbol of winter. This is good, you see, yesterday the weather is cloudy, maybe it will snow today.

Sure enough snow to fall today, first off and on, stars, soon the vast floating, like goose feather, such as catkin. In the afternoon, on the earth, branches, roof, remained on the earth all things to be clothed with a layer of white coat, whiteness and all things in this world, there are the guardian of the snow elves. Guardian is snow in the winter, snow is pure, nothing can defile it.

Under the snow in slowly and quietly, so happy children, busy snowball fights, a snowman, only heard a joyous laughter is full of between heaven and earth.

Winter is beautiful, is full of spiritual, I like winter, more like snow in winter.

俗话说：雪花是冬天的象征。这话说得不错，你看，昨天天气阴沉沉的，说不定今天会下雪。

今天果然下起雪了，先断断续续的，星星点点，不久便大片大片的飘，如鹅毛、如柳絮。到了下午，大地上、树枝上、屋顶上，尘世间的万物都给披上了一层白色的外衣，而万物在这洁白无暇的世界里，都有了雪精灵的守护。守护冬天的是雪，雪是纯洁的，没有任何东西能玷污它。

雪在慢慢地、静静地下着，孩子们高兴极了，忙着打雪仗、堆雪人，只听见一片欢乐的笑声充满了天地之间。

冬天是美丽的，是充满灵性的，我喜爱冬天，更喜爱冬天的雪。

One evening, my mother and I came back from the relatives, I saw my father was not at home just ask a mother: "dad how not to go home?" Mother said: "dad was at work late back." In order to to have dinner with father, mother and I went to a bath. My mother then ready to wash, I will go to the sitting in the living room watching TV. Look for a little while dad came back, carrying a big box in her hands. I asked, "daddy what is this?" Dad said. "Guess what!" "How do I know!" Is "TV" "television set bought not have at home?" "This is a play in the company award" from "really?" "Of course is true." Im happy to shout loudly "mama! Today is lucky father play award made a television set back", the mother is out of the shower at the end of the toilet? We are really very happy.

When my dad put down the TV, we can have a meal, he eat while said: "although the second prize, but is the luckiest person in the company, the company a year-end summary meeting in the afternoon, and sweepstakes, award has a special award and the first prize, but no one to draw, so is the most fortunate."

Im eleven years old, mom and dad never get any award, this day is the luckiest day in my family, I hope every day since the day we lucky, let lucky I get good grades next year.

一天傍晚，我和妈妈从亲戚家里回来，我看见爸爸不在家就问妈妈：“爸爸怎么未回家?”妈妈说：“爸爸还在上班很迟回来的。”为了和爸爸一起吃饭，我和妈妈就去洗澡了。我洗好了妈妈接着洗，我就去坐在客厅看电视。看了一会儿爸爸回来了，手里还拿着一个大箱子。我问”爸爸这是什么东西啊?”爸爸说;“你猜猜看!”“我怎么知道啊!”“是电视机”“电视机买来家里不是有了吗?”“这是在公司里打奖打来的”“真的?”“当然是真的。”我高兴的大叫“妈妈!今天真幸运爸爸打奖打了一个电视机回来”，当时妈妈还在卫生间末洗完澡呢。我们真是快活极了。

爸爸放下电视机后，我们就吃饭了，他边吃饭边说：“虽然得的是二等奖，但算是公司里最幸运的人，下午公司召开年终总结大会，并进行抽奖活动，奖项设有特等奖和一等奖，但都没有人抽到，所以是最幸运的啦。”

我十一岁了，爸爸妈妈从来没有得过什么奖，这一天是我家里最幸运的一天了，我希望从这天开始我们家天天幸运，让幸运的我来年取得好成绩。

正月初一那天，天气晴朗，万里无云，我和爸爸，妈妈，小表叔一起去公园划船。到了公园，人真多呀!连划船都要排成长长的队伍，爸爸去买了船票，我们在那里排队等了一个多小时，好不容易才等到了一个空船，我们赶快上了船。

我和小表叔坐在船的最前面，爸爸妈妈坐在后面。我和小表叔轮着掌握方向盘，爸爸妈妈在后面蹬着划船。我们在水里转来转去，玩的高兴极了。正在高兴时，忽然看见我们的船正直直往正前方的一条手划船上撞去，把划船的叔叔阿姨吓的赶紧转弯，把我们俩笑的肚子疼。妈妈说我没掌握好方向便让小表叔掌握方向，我想抵赖，于是就说：“还没到时间呢!”小表叔好象知道我在骗他，就说：“哥，时间是不是到了。”我爸爸说：“时间到了，浩悦让你小表叔来掌握方向。”我极不情愿的让给了他。也不知道今天是怎么了，总有船和我们相撞，刚才我们撞人家的船，现在又有人家的船来撞我们，我们的船劲大，把它撞的转了个弯，又把我和小表叔乐得哈哈大笑。又有一条汽船朝我们驶过来了，爸爸叫我们赶快转弯，我们立刻就转弯躲了过去。

我们看到岸上有人在跳舞便把船划了过去看，看的正美时，岸上有人说我们的船时间到了，叫我们停船靠岸，我们很快把船划了过去，上了岸便回家了。

那天我和小表叔玩的太开心啦!既划了船又知道怎样掌握船的方向，这事就是我寒假里最有趣的一件事。

Rising above the sinful lotus, obscurity of sunflower, and sofe orchids, but I most like the national flower of Japan (cherry blossom).

It is a call not famous cherry blossoms. From a distance, cherry tree with red flowers, like a fire, give a person a kind of warm feeling; Have a lavender flowers, such as round and charming girl lovely face; Patients and white flowers, as if the metal gray metal gray face. Look from up close, cherry blossoms, such as chardonnay, fluttering; The cherry blossom as snow, light; The cherry blossom rumei, resists the snow; The cherry blossom as gold, shiny; Cherry blossoms, such as fog, fantasy ethereal.

Cherry blossoms like lily, holy simplicity such as lotus, romance, such as sunflower, gorgeous roses. Cherry blossom, beautiful beautiful, transcendental and free from vulgarity, beautiful beauty, too pampered agglomeration with beautiful more than anything else.

I gently walked over, touched it as great a tender petals, ice BingLiangLiang, wen run into picking, wet drink, relaxed and happy.

The cherry blossom is said to be color and XiangDou is very weak, but once it is fully blooming cherry blossoms, but more brilliant than the peony, more alcohol than sweet osmanthus.

All of a sudden, everything is quiet. "Sound", I seem to hear the voice of dew on petals are rolling, slowly, slowly. "Sasha vujacic", I have heard of the spring breeze stroke, cherry blossoms, and branches collision with each other, friction; "Pop", I seem to hear the petals fall to the ground, petals rotate dance in midair, falling on the ground, but still beautiful petals, not polluted.

Cherry blossom on behalf of a country, to become the national flower of Japan, also because it has special temperament. People dedicated "drop-dead gorgeous, an" to four ancient beauty, I prefer to the much-anticipated cherry blossoms.

有出污泥而不染的荷花，有默默无闻的太阳花，还有刚柔相济的兰花，但我却最喜欢日本的国花(樱花)。

那是一种叫不出名的樱花。从远处看，樱花树上有红色的花，像火一般，给人一种温暖的感觉;有淡紫色的花，如娇媚的小姑娘那可爱而圆润的脸蛋;还有白色的花，好似病人那铁青铁青的面孔。从近处看，樱花如霞，飘飘荡荡;樱花如雪，光明圣洁;樱花如梅，傲霜斗雪;樱花如金，闪闪发光;樱花如雾，奇幻飘渺。

樱花圣洁如百合，纯朴如荷花，烂漫如向日葵，艳丽如玫瑰。樱花美得无奈，美的张扬，美得超凡脱俗，美得万千宠爱集聚一身，美得胜过一切。

我轻轻走过去，摸了摸它嫩得不得了的花瓣，冰冰凉凉，温润成剔，湿湿润润，心旷神怡。

据说樱花是色和香都是十分淡的花，可樱花一旦完全盛开，却比牡丹更艳，比桂花更醇。

突然，一切静得离谱。“哗哗”，我似乎听到了花瓣上有露珠滚动的声音，缓缓地，慢慢地;“沙沙”，我又听到了春风拂面、樱花晃动的声音，枝头互相碰撞着，摩擦着;“砰砰”，我仿佛听到了花瓣落地，花瓣在半空中转动舞蹈，坠在地上，可花瓣依然美丽，没有被污染。

樱花代表一个国家，能成为日本的国花，也因为它有非凡的气质。人们把“沉鱼落雁、闭月羞花”献给古代四大美女，我更愿意献给这万众瞩目的樱花。

我出生在一个贫困的小农村里，因此不能拥有漂亮的衣服和玩具。在我六岁上学之前，我都是和邻居的同龄小朋友玩，那是一段我无法忘怀的快乐的岁月。我们通常都是自己做玩具，不花一分钱，有的时候我们的父母也会给我们做一些玩具。那个时候，我们可以从早晨玩到天黑，直到爸爸妈妈叫我们回家吃饭。但是，作为一个农村的孩子，在农忙的时候我也必须要帮忙家里干些农活，像是种植和收割这些。另外，我的妈妈是一名老师，因此在我三岁的时候她就开始教我识字、算术了，所以我还要花些时间在学习上。现在，回想起这些，我更多的是快乐，而不是烦恼。

lwcool]the name christmas is short for "christ‘s mass". a mass is a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world.

the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the virgin‘s name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit. joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. while he thought about these things, gabriel, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife. and mary will bring forth a son, and he shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to bedelivered. and she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

and that, christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus, is on 25th, december every year. but nobody know the actual birthday of jesus. and the christmaas has become popular when christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century.

“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督彌撒”的缩写。彌撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作耶苏的诞辰來庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特別的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

圣诞节是基督教世界最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念那稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”epiphany，亦称“显现节”即上帝通过那稣向世人显示自己。当时只有那路拉冷的教会例外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念那稣的受洗。后来历史学家们在罗马基督徒习用的日历中发现公元 354年12月25日页内记录着：“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究，一般认为12月25日伴为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会)约在公元375年传到小亚细亚的安提阿，公元 430年传到埃及的亚历山大里亚，那路撒冷的教会接受得最晚，而亚美尼亚的教会则仍然坚持1月6日主显节是那稣的诞辰。12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(mithra)的诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因，罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力

图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督教化的措施之一。后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又固各地教会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(christmas tide)，各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。自从12月25日被大多数教会公认为圣诞节后，原来1月6日的主显节就只纪念耶稣受洗了，但天主教会又把1月6日定为“三王来朝节”，以纪念耶稣生时东方三王(即三位博士)来朝拜的故事。随着基督教的广泛传播，圣诞节已成为各教派基督徒，甚至广大非基督徒群众的一个重要节日。在欧美许多国家里，人们非常重视这个节日，把它和新年连在一起，而庆祝活动之热闹与隆重大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。12月25日的主要纪念活动都与那稣降生的传说有关。

耶苏的出生是有一段故事的，耶苏是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲，把那孩子起名为“耶苏”，意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出來。

当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报戶籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暫住。就在這时，耶苏要出生了!於是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶苏。后人为纪念耶苏的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望彌撒，纪念耶苏的出世。

圣诞节便是於十二月二十五日纪念耶苏的诞生，但真实的诞生日就沒有人知道了。十九世紀，圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现，圣诞节也开始流行起來了。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

Today， I did housework for grandmother。 She is not very healthy and I decide to do housework for her more frequently。 And she will feel happy and bee better。 Suddenly， an idea hit me that it’s terrible to grow old becuase you have to worry about both your health and others’ opinions。 Once again， I make a decision to be a good girl。翻译：这天，我帮忙了奶奶做家务。奶奶的身体不好。我以后要常帮她做事。这样她就会高兴身体也会好一些。突然觉得，人老了真不好。不但身体不会好，而且一不留意就会惹得大家厌恶。我又做了一个决定，以后必须要做个乖孩子。

It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are many business in my mothers company. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mothers company.

the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in

trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two

computer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make

electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the

government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be

crazy!
