『貳』 關於端午節的英語文章
屈原，是春秋時期楚懷王的大臣。他倡導舉賢授能，富國強兵，力主聯齊抗秦，遭到貴族子蘭等人的強烈反對，屈原遭饞去職，被趕出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中，寫下了憂國憂民的《離騷》、《天問》、《九歌》等不朽詩篇，獨具風貌，影響深遠（因而，端午節也稱詩人節）。公元前278年，秦軍攻破楚國京都。屈原眼看自己的祖國被侵略，心如刀割，但是始終不忍舍棄自己的祖國，於五月五日，在寫下了絕筆作《懷沙》之後，抱石投汨羅江身死，以自己的生命譜寫了一曲壯麗的愛國主義樂章。
賽龍舟，是端午節的主要習俗。相傳起源於古時楚國人因捨不得賢臣屈原投江死去，許多人劃船追趕拯救。他們爭先恐後，追至洞庭湖時不見蹤跡。之後每年五月五日劃龍舟以紀念之。借劃龍舟驅散江中之魚，以免魚吃掉屈原的身體。
傳說屈原死後，楚國百姓哀痛異常，紛紛涌到汨羅江邊去憑吊屈原。漁夫們劃起船隻，在江上來回打撈他的真身。有位漁夫拿出為屈原准備的飯團、雞蛋等食物，「撲通、撲通」地丟進江里，說是讓魚龍蝦蟹吃飽了，就不會去咬屈大夫的身體了。人們見後紛紛仿效。一位老醫師則拿來一壇雄黃酒倒進江里，說是要葯暈蛟龍水獸，以免傷害屈大夫。後來為怕飯團為蛟龍所食，人們想出用楝樹葉包飯，外纏彩絲，發展成棕子。
以後，在每年的五月初五，就有了龍舟競渡、吃粽子、喝雄黃酒的風俗；以此來紀念愛國詩人屈原
Duanwu Festival (端午節, Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.
The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow.
In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," e to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown.
Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous rice mplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.

■ 端午節的由來
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.
Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today ring the Dragon Boat Festival.
端午節的由來
端午節，又稱為五五節，因為端午節是在農歷的五月五日，是三個重要的中國節慶之一，其他兩個分別是中秋節和農歷新年。
這個節日的由來是古代中國有一位博學多聞的官吏屈原，他是一位愛民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充滿嫉妒的官吏陷害，從此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於無法獲得皇帝的重視，屈原在憂郁的情況下投汨羅江自盡。
由於對屈原的愛戴，汨羅江畔的居民匆忙的劃船在江內尋找屈原，並且將米丟入汨羅江中，以平息汨羅江中的蛟龍。即使他們當時並沒有找到屈原，但是他們的行為，直到今天在端午節的時候，仍然被人們傳頌紀念著。

Traditions At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager's valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Lo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.
Tzung Tzu
A very popular dish ring the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice mplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.
Ay Taso
The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Chu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.
風俗習慣
端午節最重要的活動是龍舟競賽，比賽的隊伍在熱烈的鼓聲中劃著他們多彩的龍舟前進。這項活動的靈感是來自於當時汨羅江畔的居民，在江中劃船救屈原，而這個傳統也一直保持了數個世紀。
在端午節時受歡迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋黃及其它材料，再以竹葉包裹。而粽子的傳統則來由於汨羅江邊的漁夫，將米丟入江中平息江中的蛟龍，希望他們不要將屈原吃掉。
農歷的五月，也就是端午節的這個時節，對中國人而言，除了屈原的故事還有許多其它重要的意義。許多中國人相信五月是一年中容易引發疾病的危險時節，因此必須有許多防備家人生病的措施。許多家庭會將一種特別的植物-艾草掛在門口，作為保護之用，而人們也會掛帶香包，它是以含有多種香味的葯用植物所做成，也可以保護人們遠離疾病。

■ 白蛇傳的故事
There is a very famous traditional Chinese story that has a close connection to the Dragon Boat Festival. Once upon a time on E-Mei mountain there lived two snake spirits, White Snake and Green Snake. These snakes, being magical, turned themselves into beautiful maidens and set off on a journey to the West Lake of Hang Zhou.
When they arrived at West Lake they met a man named Xu Xian. White Snake quickly fell in love with Xu Xian and they were soon married. A Buddhist monk, named Fa Hai, warned Xu Xian of his wife's deceptive appearance and suggested to him a plan.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival White Snake wished to stay home so as to avoid the Ay Tsao, used for protection from spirits, hanging on the doors of people's houses. Her husband prepared, according to Fa Hai's instruction, some realgar wine, as this was a tradition ring the Dragon boat festival. White Snake, thinking her magic would protect her from the effects of the realgar wine accepted a cup. After she drank the wine she became very ill and was barely able to get to her bed.
When her husband came to her side, he found not his wife but a huge white snake. So great was Xu Xian's shock that he fell to the floor dead.
After recovering from the realgar wine and regaining her human form, White Snake was grief-stricken to find her husband dead. She set off on a journey to obtain a potent medicinal herb, which could revive her husband. After returning and reviving her husband with the medicine, she explained to Xu Xian that the white snake he saw was actually a dragon and that this vision was indeed a very good omen. Xu Xain's fears were put to rest for the moment by his wife's fanciful story…
白蛇傳
另一個與端午節息息相關的中國傳統故事是「白蛇傳」。 從前，在伊眉山上有兩只蛇精，白蛇與青蛇。這兩只蛇精運用法力將自己變成美麗的女子，並到杭州溪湖遊玩。
當他們在西湖遊玩時，遇到一位名叫許仙的男子，白蛇與許仙很快的相戀並且隨即結婚。當時一位名叫法海的和尚，曾經警告許仙注意他妻子惑人的外表，並建議他一個知道真相的計畫。 端午節當天，白蛇待加家裡以避開人們掛在門上驅邪的艾草，而許仙則依照法海的建議准備了大家在端午節時都會喝的雄黃酒。白蛇自認魔力可以抵擋雄黃酒對他的影響，因此喝了一杯。但是在他喝下那杯酒之後，他卻變得精疲力竭，幾乎走不到床上。當許仙回到白蛇身邊，看到的不是自己美麗的妻子，而是一隻巨大的白蛇，許仙震驚不已且跳樓自殺。
當白蛇恢復精力及人形時，他才發現自己丈夫已經身亡，因此白蛇外出尋找能使許仙起死回生的強效葯草。許仙在服用葯草，並起死回生之後，白蛇告訴許仙他看到的那條白蛇，其實是一隻代表吉相的龍。而在那時，許仙也在白蛇引人入勝的故事中將恐懼拋諸腦後…。

『玖』 求一篇關於端午節的英語文章
端午節是古老的傳統節日，始於中國的春秋戰國時期，至今已有2000多年歷史。端午節的由來與傳說很多，這里僅介紹以下四種：
源於紀念屈原
據《史記》「屈原賈生列傳」記載，屈原，是春秋時期楚懷王的大臣。他倡導舉賢授能，富國強兵，力主聯齊抗秦，遭到貴族子蘭等人的強烈反對，屈原遭饞去職，被趕出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中，寫下了憂國憂民的《離騷》、《天問》、《九歌》等不朽詩篇，獨具風貌，影響深遠（因而，端午節也稱詩人節）。公元前278年，秦軍攻破楚國京都。屈原眼看自己的祖國被侵略，心如刀割，但是始終不忍舍棄自己的祖國，於五月五日，在寫下了絕筆作《懷沙》之後，抱石投汨羅江身死，以自己的生命譜寫了一曲壯麗的愛國主義樂章。
傳說屈原死後，楚國百姓哀痛異常，紛紛涌到汨羅江邊去憑吊屈原。漁夫們劃起船隻，在江上來回打撈他的真身。有位漁夫拿出為屈原准備的飯團、雞蛋等食物，「撲通、撲通」地丟進江里，說是讓魚龍蝦蟹吃飽了，就不會去咬屈大夫的身體了。人們見後紛紛仿效。一位老醫師則拿來一壇雄黃酒倒進江里，說是要葯暈蛟龍水獸，以免傷害屈大夫。後來為怕飯團為蛟龍所食，人們想出用楝樹葉包飯，外纏彩絲，發展成棕子。
以後，在每年的五月初五，就有了龍舟競渡、吃粽子、喝雄黃酒的風俗；以此來紀念愛國詩人屈原。
源於紀念伍子胥
端午節的第二個傳說，在江浙一帶流傳很廣，是紀念春秋時期（公元前770--前476年）的伍子胥。伍子胥名員，楚國人，父兄均為楚王所殺，後來子胥棄暗投明，奔向吳國，助吳伐楚，五戰而入楚都郢城。當時楚平王已死，子胥掘墓鞭屍三百，以報殺父兄之仇。吳王闔廬死後，其子夫差繼位，吳軍士氣高昂，百戰百勝，越國大敗，越王勾踐請和，夫差許之。子胥建議，應徹底消滅越國，夫差不聽，吳國大宰，受越國賄賂，讒言陷害子胥，夫差信之，賜子胥寶劍，子胥以此死。子胥本為忠良，視死如歸，在死前對鄰舍人說：「我死後，將我眼睛挖出懸掛在吳京之東門上，以看越國軍隊入城滅吳」，便自刎而死，夫差聞言大怒，令取子胥之屍體裝在皮革里於五月五日投入大江，因此相傳端午節亦為紀念伍子胥之日。
源於紀念孝女曹娥
端午節的第三個傳說，是為紀念東漢（公元23--220年）孝女曹娥救父投江。曹娥是東漢上虞人，父親溺於江中，數日不見屍體，當時孝女曹娥年僅十四歲，晝夜沿江號哭。過了十七天，在五月五日也投江，五日後抱出父屍。就此傳為神話，繼而相傳至縣府知事，令度尚為之立碑，讓他的弟子邯鄲淳作誄辭頌揚。
孝女曹娥之墓，在今浙江紹興，後傳曹娥碑為晉王義所書。後人為紀念曹娥的孝節，在曹娥投江之處興建曹娥廟，她所居住的村鎮改名為曹娥鎮，曹娥殉父之處定名為曹娥江。
源於古越民族圖騰祭
近代大量出土文物和考古研究證實：長江中下游廣大地區，在新石器時代，有一種幾何印紋陶為特徵的文化遺存。該遺存的族屬，據專家推斷是一個崇拜龍的圖騰的部族----史稱百越族。出土陶器上的紋飾和歷史傳說示明，他們有斷發紋身的習俗，生活於水鄉，自比是龍的子孫。其生產工具，大量的還是石器，也有鏟、鑿等小件的青銅器。作為生活用品的壇壇罐罐中，燒煮食物的印紋陶鼎是他們所特有的，是他們族群的標志之一。直到秦漢時代尚有百越人，端午節就是他們創立用於祭祖的節日。在數千年的歷史發展中，大部分百越人已經融合到漢族中去了，其餘部分則演變為南方許多少數民族，因此，端午節成了全中華民族的節日。
