11、奖励后羿王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告他被名利冲昏了头脑变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说,朱元璋与月饼,The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance
12、.The moon cake was created to carry a secret message.When the cake was opened and the message read an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians.It happened at the time of the full moon which some say explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time.Mooncakes are usually stamped wi

17、ungry fish from his body,the people scattered rice on the water。端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。,In recent years,the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international hol
18、iday celebrated by people who may know little about the holidays origins。Over the years,the story of Qus demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves.The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over t
19、he world.Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney,from Gdask,Poland to Cape Town,South Africa.最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格
20、但斯克到南非的开普敦。,The Dragon Boat Festival,also called the Duanwu Festival,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.For thousands of years,the festival has been marked by eating zong zi(glutinous rice（糯米）wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves)and r
21、acing dragon boats.The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month.But one year,the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a hugereptile（爬行动物）in the river had stolen the rice.The spirit then advised th
22、em to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river.每年五月五日那些哀悼屈原的楚国百姓，把大米扔到河里来祭奠屈原。但是一年,这种精神出现了,告诉屈原的哀悼者,一个hugereptile(爬行动物)在河里偷了大米。圣灵建议他们用丝绸来装大米，并且用五种不同颜色的线来捆绑住，再丢入河里。,The dragon-boat races symbolize the many attempts to rescue and recover Qu
23、s body.A typical dragon boat ranges from 50-100 feet in length,with a beam of about 5.5 feet,accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.A wooden dragon head is attached at the bow,and a dragon tail at thestern（船尾）.A banner hoisted on a pole is also fastened at the stern and the hull is decorated
24、 with red,green and blue scales edged in gold.In the center of the boat is a canopied shrine behind which the drummers,gong（铜锣）beaters andcymbal（铙钹）players are seated to set the pace for the paddlers.There are also men positioned at the bow to set off firecrackers,toss rice into the water and pretend to be looking for Qu.All of the noise and pageantry creates an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement for the participants and spectators alike.The races are held among different clans,villages and organizations,and the winners are awarded medals,banners,jugs of wine and festive meals.,Thank you！,
