　　西方传统节日简介

　　Easter（复活节）

　　Easter is a time of springtime festivals In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and have nothing to do with Christianity

　　Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored Easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts

　　复活节是春季的节日。在信基督教的国家里，复活节是为纪念基督耶稣的复活而举行的宗教节日。但是复活节有许多习俗和传说的由来都是非宗教的，它们与基督教没有任何关系。与节日密切联系的一些传统有象复活节的野兔，它是作为繁殖生长的象征；还有复活节的彩蛋。最先是被绘以鲜亮的颜色来代表春天的阳光。这些彩蛋还可以用来玩滚彩蛋游戏比赛，或作为小礼物送人。

　　Thanksgiving（感恩节）

　　The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians

　　Days of thanksgiving were celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests All thirteen colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777 George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789

　　第一个美国人庆贺的感恩节在1621年，为了纪念普利茅斯殖民地的人民在经过一个歉收荒芜的冬季后迎来丰收。在那一年，州长William Bradford宣布那天作为感恩节。殖民者把它当成传统的英国丰收节日来庆贺，在当天，他们还邀请当地的印地安的万泊诺亚格人。感恩的节日延续了整个秋季的收获季节，但其他的十三个殖民地没有庆贺这个节日，直到1777年10月。乔治-华盛顿在1789年宣布把它定为节日，他也是第一位宣布感恩节的总统。

　　Valentine's Day（情 人 节）

　　The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery But we do know that February has long been a month of romance St Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition

　　So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured

　　According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France

　　情人节的历史充满了神秘，但是我们知道，很久以来，2月就是一个浪漫的月份了。情人节既留有基督教的痕迹，又有古罗马的传统。情人节又称圣瓦伦丁节。关于情人节有好多传说。其中之一是，3世纪的时候，古罗马的皇帝Claudius二世认为独身的男子比有妻子、家庭的男子更善于打仗，于是他宣布婚姻是非法的，这也断绝了士兵的来源。牧师Valentine意识到这条法令的谬误，就公开反对，并且秘密为青年人主持婚礼。Claudius二世知道后就把Valentine处死了。

　　Fathers' Day（父 亲 节）

　　In the 1900s, Fathers’ Day was created when Sonora Louise Smart Dodd wanted to express her deep appreciation to her own father, William Smart, who was widowed when his wife died at giving birth Mr Smart raised his six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington State When Ms Dodd was grown she wanted to show her appreciation to her father So, in 1909, she proposed a day to honor her father in June (the month of her father's birth)

　　The very first Fathers' Day followed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge showed support of this becoming a national holiday However, it wasn't until 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson officially proclaimed Fathers' Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June

　　二十世纪初，苏娜·路易丝·史墨·多德想要向他的父亲威廉·史墨表达敬意，于是产生了父亲节。她父亲在他妻子难产而死以后，就一直鳏居。史墨先生在东华盛顿州的农庄中独力抚养大六个孩子。当多德女士长大成人后，她觉得要向父亲致敬。于是，在1909年她提议在六月里一天向父亲表达敬意。（她父亲在六月生日）。第一个父亲节在1910年6月19日在华盛顿，史布肯庆祝了。1924年，卡文·柯立芝总统表示支持，并将此确立为国家的节日。然而，直到1966年，林顿·约翰逊总统才正式宣布六月的第三个星期天为父亲节，在全国正式地庆祝。

　　Mothers’ Day（母亲节）

　　The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday" Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent In the United States Mother’s Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace By 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state

　　While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May

　　最早的母亲节庆祝可以追溯到古希腊的春天庆典，纪念众神之母尤希。在17世纪，英国在四旬斋的第四个星期天庆祝一个称为“母亲周日”的节日。在美国，母亲节最早在1872年，由朱丽娅·沃得·郝提出，作为一个关注和平的节日。到1911年，几乎所有的州都庆祝母亲节。

　　虽然世界各国的母亲节在不同的时间，很多国家，如丹麦，芬兰，意大利，土耳其，澳大利亚和比利时都在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。

　　（注：《圣经·新约》中一个魔鬼试探耶稣的故事。说的是魔鬼把耶稣困在旷野里，40天没有给耶稣吃东西，耶稣虽然饥饿，却没有接受魔鬼的诱惑。后来，为了纪念耶稣在这40天中的荒野禁食，信徒们就把每年复活节前的40天时间作为自己斋戒及忏悔的日子，叫做大斋节或者四旬斋（Lent）。据说，古希腊和古罗马的木神节、酒神节都是它的前身。这40天中，人们不能食肉，娱乐，生活肃穆沉闷，所以在斋期开始前的一周或半周内，人们会专门举行宴会、舞会、纵情欢乐。后来，这样的一个日子逐渐演变成为一个宗教习俗节日，拉丁语中叫做“Carnevale”，意思就是：“告别肉食”。Carnevale在英文中被译作Carnival（嘉年华或狂欢节）。如今已没有多少人坚守大斋期之类的清规戒律，但传统的狂欢活动却保留了下来，成为人们一个重要节日。）

　　Boxing Day（礼盒节）

　　In England a long time ago…

　　Servants were required to work on Christmas They were responsible for making the holiday run smoothly for wealthy landowners They were allowed to take leave on December 26th and visit their families The employers gave each servant a box containing gifts and bonuses In addition, around the 800s' churches opened their alms boxes (boxes where people place monetary donations) and distributed the contents to poor

　　In England today…

　　Few people have servants but the custom of giving gifts or money to those who provide service continues It is also popular to visit grandparents and shop (the after Christmas discounts begin) Many people get the day off from work Boxing Day is also celebrated in places where the English have settled like Australia, New Zealand and Canada Our friends in Scotland tell us it is also celebrate there! Some places observe Boxing Day on December 26th and some celebrate it on the first weekday following Christmas, so, if Christmas falls on Friday or Saturday Boxing Day would be on the following Monday

　　Now, the actual origin of this holiday is debatable and has been debated, one idea being more popular than the other at a given time

　　以前，由于佣人们必须在圣诞节工作，所以他们被允许在节后的第一天休假。雇主们日久成习，往往准备一些礼盒，在佣人们回家之前送给他们。到了今天，拥有仆人的家庭已经稀罕得很。不过给服务行业的人赠送礼物的习惯还在继续。

　　Halloween（万圣节前夜）

　　Halloween is an annual celebration The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living

　　Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess

　　So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids

　　Halloween这个词本身来源于天主教 11月1日, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"),称为万圣节, 是用于举行仪式尊敬圣人的天主教日其中有一种说法是, 在那一天, 那些先前死去的还在飘浮的灵魂会回来为来年的复生找一些活人来附体 他们认为这是转世的唯一希望 教徒们深信这段时间内所有的时间及空间都是被悬浮的, 以便于让灵魂世界与我们的生活空间相混合 活着的人自然不想被附身，所以10月30日的晚上, 村民会熄灭家中的火焰, 把家里弄得很冷,没人想来 他们还会穿上各类象鬼一样的服装上街大声的, 尽可能的搞些破坏来吓走那些想找人附体的鬼魂。因此, 尽管部分信徒可能已接受万圣节前夕为他们最喜爱的节日, 但这一天本身并不是来源于邪恶的惯例,而是由于凯尔特人庆祝新年和中世纪欧洲人的祈祷仪式 今天, 甚至在很多教堂都会举行万圣节前夕晚会或让孩子们雕刻南瓜灯笼，到各家敲门玩TRICK OR TREAT的游戏。

　　April Fool's Day（愚人节）

　　Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring

　　The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France Prior to that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25 The celebration culminated on April 1 With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1

　　However, in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1 These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes

　　1582年之前的法国，人们从3月25日开始庆祝新年，4月1日达到高潮。后来历法改革，新年移到1月1日。然而在那个资讯很落后的年代，消息传播是蜗牛速度。而且有些顽固人拒绝新的历法，仍然在4月1日庆贺新年。其他的老百姓就把那些顽固的人称为“傻瓜”，并且让他们做些愚蠢的事情来取笑他们。

　　（以下补充的是美国的节日）

　　HOLIDAYS IN THE UNITED STATES

　　There are three types of holidays in the United States: political holidays, traditional holidays, and religious holidays There are more political holidays than any other type The most important political holiday is Independence Day, the fourth of July On this day we celebrate our independence from Great Britain Most people spend the day with their family and friends Picnics and barbecues are very popular In addition, almost every city and town has a fireworks display at night Another very important political holiday is Memorial Day, which falls on the last weekend in May On this holiday we commemorate all the soldiers who died for our country Many towns and cities have parades, and some people go to cemeteries and put flowers or flags on the soldiers’ graves A third important political holiday is Labor Day, which we celebrate on the first Monday in September This is the day when we honor the workers of the United States People watch parades, go on picnics, or go to the beach For students, Labor Day is a bittersweet holiday, because when it is over they must begin school again Besides these three political holidays, we also must begin school again Besides these three political holidays, we also celebrate Presidents’ Day on the third Monday in February On this day we commemorate the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln

写作思路：可以写“端午节”，将端午节吃粽子、划龙舟的缘由详细地描述一下，避免语法使用错误等等。

正文：

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is an

old custom in China for more than 2000 years On this day, every family

hangs a statue of Zhong Kui, hangs Acorus calamus, races dragon boats,

eats zongzi, drinks realgar wine, travels through diseases and wears

sachets

农历五月初五端午节，是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户都悬钟馗像，挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

The Dragon Boat Festival originated in the Warring States period At

that time, there was a Chu man named Qu Yuan who was a loyal official

beside the king of Chu The king of Chu believed the treacherous

officials and sent Qu Yuan into exile In exile, Qu Yuan heard that the

capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy, and the people suffered He

was very sad and indignant

端午节最早源于战国时期，当时有个叫屈原的楚国人，他在楚王身边做官，是一位忠臣。昏君楚王听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。

On the fifth day of May, he came to the Miluo River and jumped into the

Miluo River with a stone in his arms When people abroad heard the news

that Qu Yuan had thrown himself into the river, they were very sad With

tears in their eyes, they rowed a boat to salvage Qu Yuan and threw

zongzi into the river to feed the fish, hoping that the fish would not

hurt Qu Yuan's body This is the origin of making zongzi in May

五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

The dragon boat race is because Chu people are reluctant to die, so

there are many people rowing to catch up with the rescue They scrambled

to catch up with each other and disappeared when they reached Dongting

Lake, which is the origin of dragon boat race Later, they rowed dragon

boats on May 5 every year to commemorate it

而赛龙舟是楚人因为舍不得贤臣屈原死去，于是有许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹，是为龙舟竞渡之起源，后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。

There are so many activities in the Dragon Boat Festival It's a

traditional festival of our Chinese nation We should inherit it well!

端午节的活动可真多呀，这是我们中华民族的传统节日，我们要好好地继承下来！

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar 

Unlike St Valentine's Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses

Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden

Praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands 

In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars 

Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about

农历七月初七是中国唯一的一个关于爱情的节日。

与西方国家的情人节不同的是，人们并没有那么重视巧克力、鲜花和亲吻。

相反，中国女孩准备水果、瓜香作为祭品送给织女，祈祷获得高超的针线工艺，并希望找到令人满意的丈夫。

晚上，人们坐在户外看星星。中国的奶奶们会说，如果你站在葡萄树下，你可能会无意中听到织女和牛郎在说什么。

扩展资料：

七夕（中国传统节日）一般指七夕节，又称七巧节、七姐节、女儿节、乞巧节、七娘会、巧夕、牛公牛婆日、双七等，是中国民间的传统节日，为传统意义上的七姐诞，因拜祭活动在七月七日晩上举行，故名“七夕”。

拜七姐，祈福许愿、乞求巧艺、坐看牵牛织女星、祈祷姻缘、储七夕水等，是七夕的传统习俗。经历史发展，七夕被赋予了“牛郎织女”的美丽爱情传说，因被赋予了与爱情有关的内涵，使其成为了象征爱情的节日，从而被认为是中国最具浪漫色彩的传统节日，在当代更是产生了“中国情人节”的文化含义。 

七夕节既是拜七姐节日也是爱情节日，是一个以“牛郎织女”民间传说为载体，以祈福、乞巧、爱情为主题，以女性为主体的综合性节日。七夕的“牛郎织女”来源于人们对自然天象的崇拜，上古时代人们将天文星区与地理区域相互对应，这个对应关系就天文来说，称作“分星”，就地理来说，称作“分野”；牛郎织女星象对应地理分野的记载见于《汉书·地理志》：“粤地，牵牛、婺女之分野也”。 

七夕节发源于中国，是世界上最早的爱情节日，在七夕节的众多民俗当中，有些逐渐消失，但还有相当一部分被人们延续了下来。在部分受中华文化影响的亚洲国家如日本、朝鲜半岛、越南等也有庆祝七夕的传统。2006年5月20日，七夕节被中华人民共和国国务院列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

-七夕

今天是中国传统节日“七夕”。现在不少人称之为“中国情人节”，精明的商家更是趁机打着“中国情人节”的口号搞起了促销。民俗专家表示，将“七夕”称为“情人节”是对这个节日的误读，远不如叫“中国爱情节”来得更贴切些。 七夕在中国已有2000多年历史，又称“乞巧节”“女儿节”，还有叫“双七”“香日”“星期”“巧夕”“双七”“兰夜”“穿针节“等等，是中国传统节日中最具浪漫色彩的一个节日，也是姑娘、妇女们重视和喜爱的日子。七夕乞巧的习俗，起源于中国汉代，后来才和牛郎、织女的故事相合。 现在的七夕节是一个以牛郎织女的民间传说为载体，以爱情为主题，以女人为主角的节日。记得前些日子在整理淮盐节日习俗时，其中提到端午节时孩子们系上的五彩绒线要等到农历六月初六这一天解下来并抛到自家房顶上。据说，喜鹊看见房顶上的绒线，就会叨走，飞到天上去，待到七月初七这一天，用这些绒线在银河上建一座彩虹桥，供牛郎、织女鹊桥相会。老百姓的想像力真是丰富，穿越了时空的隧道，先是一段天上人间的织女与牛郎的绝世情缘，然后是天大的阻力将他们生生的分开。可是老百姓的心却总是充满着无限的憧憬的，哪怕是面对最暗无天日的处境，于是就有了“七夕”牛郎织女的喜相逢。 七夕节还含有歌颂家庭中永久稳固的感情和歌颂心灵手巧等劳动品质的意义。儿时看过黄梅剧《牛郎织女》，其中的画面直到现在还萦绕在脑海中。那段喜庆丰收的场景仍历历在目。丰收的瓜果蔬菜、和美祥和的乡邻，甚至连曾经欺负牛郎的兄嫂也羞嗒嗒的近前与织女一家握手言和，那场景真是温馨动人。织女与牛郎用勤劳的双手把日子织补得那么的甜蜜，当听到织女用绵软甜美的声音唱出心中的满足之情时，少不更事的我虽然不能全听懂，但心中却从此烙上了那幅祥和的画面，并成为心中最美丽的梦想。更有那些大姐姐逗我说，七夕之夜要带我躲在瓜架之下偷听牛郎织女说悄悄话，害得小小的我总是巴巴的跟在她们的身后。只是可惜，我总是在牛郎与织女说悄悄话之前便会进入甜甜的梦乡，醒来之时，那些小气的姐姐总会把听来的话放在心头，没有一个人告诉我，于是直到现在，我都不知她们偷听到了些什么。于是，那个美丽的乡村、那个神秘的夜晚便凝结成了童年时代的一个带着雾气的动人剪影。 今又七夕，当我在网络，在报刊上随处看到有关七夕的文章时，心头的感觉是喜悦的。因为曾几何时，许多传统的节日习俗正随着时代的变迁而逐渐退出人们的视野，而许多外来的洋节却纷拥而至。2006年，“七夕”被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录，于是更多的人，尤其是青年人知道和了解了这个节日的文化内涵。 “七夕”，她不是情人节，而应该是爱情节。在这个爱情快餐化的时代，让这个折透着中国传统美德的爱情节唤起人们心中那至纯至美的情感吧！

Today is the traditional festival "July 7th Chinese" Now many people called "China Valentine's Day", shrewd businessmen more opportunity is the name of "China Valentine's Day" slogan made promotion Folklore expert said, "July 7th" will be known as the "Valentine's Day" is a misreading of the festival, far less is called "Chinese festival of love" more appropriate some July 7th in Chinese has 2000 years of history, also known as the "Festival" "daughter Festival", also called "double seven" "sweet day" "week" "Qiao Xi" "double seven" "blue night" "needle" and so on, festival is a festival Chinese traditional festivals in the most romantic, is the girl, women's attention and love day July 7th Qiqiao customs, originated in the Han Dynasty Chinese, later and the cowboy, Weaver Girl stories consistency Now July 7th Festival is a folk legend of the Cowherd and the girl weaver as the carrier, to love as the theme, take the woman as the protagonist of the festival Remember the other day in the finishing of Huai salt festival custom, which referred to the Dragon Boat Festival children Department of multicolored wool until June of the lunar calendar the sixth of this a day down and thrown into the home on the roof Reportedly, the Magpies seen on the roof of the wool, will runs away, fly to the sky, until the seventh in July this day, to build a rainbow bridge in the Milky Way with these wool, for cowboy, Weaver magpie bridge People's imagination is really rich, through the tunnel of time and space, first with the cowherd fairies a peerless immeasurably vast difference of love, then is the huge resistance to separate their students But the common people heart is always full of infinite hope, even in the face of the most complete darkness situation, so there will be a "July 7th" the Cowherd and the girl weaver reunion The Double Seventh Festival also contains sing feelings stable family and significance of labor quality praise ingenuity Childhood saw Huangmei play "the Cowherd and the girl weaver", in which the picture until now still linger in the mind During the festival the harvest scene is still vivid in my mind The harvest of fruits and vegetables, and the peaceful village near and the weaver even once bullied cowboy's sister-in-law shame the rattle of a handshake, the scene is really touching Vega and cowherd use industrious hands the day darn so sweet, when heard Vega with soft sweet voice sing contentment, young I although not all understand, but the hearts are from the branded with the peaceful picture, and become the hearts of the most beautiful dream More of those big sisters teased me, Tanabata night to take me to hide in the frame under eavesdropping the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver said quietly, have little I always Baba and behind them But unfortunately, I always whisper before they will enter the sweet dreams in the Cowherd and the Weaver said, when you wake up, petty sister always told you put in the heart, no one told me, so until now, I don't know what that they overheard Thus, the beautiful country, the mysterious night then condenses into a misty moving silhouettes of childhood This was the Tanabata, when I was in the network, in the newspapers see everywhere of double seventh article, the feeling of my heart is joy Because once upon a time, many traditional festival custom is changes with the times and gradually out of people's vision, and many foreign foreign festival has come to In 2006, "Tanabata" was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, so more and more people, especially young people know and understand the cultural connotation of the festival "Tanabata", she is not Valentine's day, but should be the festival of love In this love fast-food era, let this break through traditional Chinese virtues of love festival awaken that the pure and beautiful feeling!

第二篇英语作文

写作思路：介绍端午节的起源和传统习俗，以及自己对这个节日的喜爱之处。

英语原文：

标题：我最喜爱的节日 - 端午节

端午节是中国传统节日之一，也被称为端阳节。它每年都在农历五月初五这一天举行。这个节日的起源来自于中国古代爱国诗人屈原的传说，他在汨罗江投水自尽。人们向河中扔粽子喂鱼，以防止它们吞食屈原的身体。

这一天，人们吃着用竹叶或芦苇叶包裹的棕子，并划龙舟比赛。龙舟比赛是一项流行的运动，涉及团队划长条形的装饰成龙样式的船只。相信划龙舟可以驱散邪恶的灵气并带来好运。

我喜欢端午节，因为它是家庭团聚和文化遗产的时刻。我喜欢和我的祖母一起包棕子，与朋友们一起观看龙舟比赛。它让我感到自己属于中国文化，为此感到自豪。
