端午节（英汉双语介绍）

DragonBoatFestival端午节（DragonBoatFestival）为每年农历五月初五，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节等。“端午节”为中国国家法定节假日之一，并已被列入世界非物质文化遗产名录。端午节起源于中国，最初是中国人民祛病防疫的节日，吴越之地春秋之前有在农历五月初五以龙舟竞渡形式举行部落图腾祭祀的习俗；后因诗人屈原在这一天死去，便成了中国人民纪念屈原的传统节日；部分地区也有纪念伍子胥、曹娥等说法。TheDragonBoatFestival,alsoknownasDuanwuFestival,occursonthe5thdayofthe5thmonthofthetraditionallunarcalendar.TheexactdatevariesfromyeartoyearontheGregoriancalendar.In2014,itoccurredonJune2;in2015,itoccurredonJune20,andin2016,itfallsonJune9.ThefestivalwaslongmarkedasaculturalfestivalinChina,thegovernment,however,didnotofficiallyrecognizeDuanwuasapublicholidayuntil2008.HappyDragonBoatFestival!lunarcalendar中国传统的农历Gregoriancalendar格里高里历,所谓的公历Vary变化v.publicholiday国定假期,法定假期，也可以称statutoryholidayThefocusofmostcelebrationsinvolveseatingzongzi(stickyrice/glutinousricewrappedinbambooleaves),drinkingrealgarwine,andracingdragonboats.Thesunisconsideredtobeatitsstrongestaroundthetimeofsummersolstice.bambooleaves竹叶realgarwine雄黄酒summersolstice夏至Zongzi,isatraditionalChinesefood,madeofglutinous/stickyricestuffedwithdifferentfillingsandwrappedinbamboo,reed,orotherlargeflatleaves.Theyarecookedbysteamingorboiling.IntheWesternworld,theyarealsoknownasricedumplings,orstickyricedumplings.糯米的英文：glutinousriceorstickyricesteam蒸，boil煮fillings馅bambooleaves竹叶Zongzi,粽子的拼音，牛津词典收录单词。但是如果你担心外国朋友听不懂，你也可以说ricedumpling或者stickyricedumpling,或者stickyrice/glutinousricewrappedinbambooleaves.TheStory渊源故事ThestorybestknowninmodernChinaholdsthatthefestivalcommemoratesthedeathofthepoetQuYuan(BC340–278BC)oftheancientstateofChuduringtheWarringStatesperiodoftheZhouDynasty.AcabinetmemberoftheChuroyalhouse,QuYuanservedinhighoffices.However,whenthekingdecidedtoallywiththeincreasinglypowerfulstateofQin,Quwasbanishedforopposingtheallianceandevenaccusedoftreason.Duringhisexile,QuYuanwroteagreatdealofpoetry.Twenty-eightyearslater,QincapturedYing,theChucapital.Indespair,QuYuancommittedsuicidebydrowninghimselfintheMiluoRiver.commemorate：庆祝，纪念Dynasty朝代,周朝就可以说ZhouDynasty,唐朝可以说TangDynastyWarringStatesperiod战国时期,春秋时期可以说SpringandAutumnperiodbanish驱逐treason叛国exile流放更多资源关注蔡雷英语（cailei_sz）suicide自杀,描述自杀这个动作可以说commitsuicide.Itissaidthatthelocalpeople,whoadmiredhim,racedoutintheirboatstosavehimoratleastretrievehisbody.Thisissaidtohavebeentheoriginofdragonboatraces.Whenhisbodycouldnotbefound,theydroppedballsofstickyriceintotheriver
