3、宵”)。汤圆外形圆圆的，外皮由糯米制成，内陷或甜或辣。人们都说汤圆有两个象征之意，一为农历的第一个月圆，二为家庭团聚圆满。元宵节传统习俗中还有一部分是关于猜灯谜的游戏。在过去，这些谜语大多出自于模糊的文学典故和中国古典文学之中，所以猜灯谜以前多为知识份子的“领地”。踩高跷，敲大鼓和舞龙狮也是元宵节主要的娱乐活动。【词汇突破】元宵节：theLanternFestival特色小吃：specialfood糯米：glutinousrice内陷：fillings家庭团聚圆满：familyunityandcompleteness猜灯谜：guessriddlesattachedtothelanterns文学

6、ternFestival.请将下面的内容翻译成英文：端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinousdumplings)和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。参考译文：TheDuanwuFestival,alsocalledtheDragonBoatFestival,istocommemoratethepatrioticpoetQuYuan.QuYu

12、到古代夏商时期(theXiaandShangDynasties)。按照中国的农历，八月为秋季的第二个月，古时称为中秋。农历八月十五这天，月亮满圆，于是中国人将这天定为中秋节。圆形对中国人来说意味着家庭团聚，因此中秋节也是个家庭团聚的节日。这天，儿女们会带着自己的家人到父母家团聚。已经定居海外的人有时会回来探望父母。TheMid-AutumnFestivalisaconventionalfestivalforboththeHanandminoritynationalitiesinChina.Thecustomofworshippingthemooncanbetracedbacktotheanci

15、s)认为数字“九”是阳数，故重九也叫重阳。登高是最受欢迎的重阳节传统之一。九月天空高远，空气新鲜，在这样的日子登高有助于保持身体健康。吃重阳糕(double-ninthcake)跟登高有关。重阳糕作为节日食品最初用来庆祝秋收，后来发展成登高、吃重阳糕的习俗，寓意是我们的生活将越来越好。由于“九九”谐音“久久”，重阳节如今已被赋予新涵义老人节。OntheninthdayoftheninthmonthintheChineselunarcalendar,peoplecelebratetheDoubleNinthFestival.Nineisayangnumber(atraditionalChines
