代表考題：

1、中秋節(jié)（2013.12六級）?

中國人自古以來就在中秋時節(jié)慶祝豐收，這與北美地區(qū)慶祝感恩節(jié)的習(xí)俗十分相似，過中秋節(jié)的習(xí)俗與唐代早期在中國各地開始流行，中秋節(jié)在農(nóng)歷八月十五，是人們拜月的節(jié)曰，這天夜晚皓月當空，人們合家團聚，共賞明月。2006年，中秋節(jié)被列為中國的文化遺產(chǎn)，2008年又被定為公共假日，月餅被視為中秋節(jié)不可或缺的美食，人們將月餅作為禮物饋贈親友或在家庭聚會上享用。傳統(tǒng)的月餅上帶有 "壽"(longevity)、“?！被颉昂汀钡茸謽?。?

Since ancient times, the Chinese people usually celebrate harvest in the Mid-Autumn, which is similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving in the North America. The tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang dynasty. The lunar August 15 is a day for people worshiping the moon. On this day, under the dazzling bright moon, families reunite and enjoy the moon' s beauty. In 2006, Mid-Autumn festival was listed as one of China's cultural heritage, and in 2008, it was classified as a public holiday.

2、元宵節(jié)?

每年農(nóng)歷的正月十五是元宵節(jié)。早在兩千多年前的西漢時期(the Western Han Dynasty), 元宵節(jié)就已經(jīng)成為一 個具有重要意義的節(jié)日。在這天，人們制作各種漂亮的燈籠、設(shè)計有趣的燈謎;同時多種表演，如 舞龍燈、舞獅子、踩高蹺（walking on stilts)等也會上演。和其他中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)曰 —樣，元宵節(jié)也有特定的食品，叫“湯圓 (glue pudding) ”。漢語中，湯圓和“團圓”發(fā)音相似，代表著家庭團圓、和諧和快樂。?

參考譯文：?

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, in the Western Han Dynasty, it had become a festival with great significance. On the Lantern Festival, Chinese people craft many types of beautiful lanterns and create many interesting lantern riddles. At the same time, performances such as dragon lantern dance, lion dance and walking on stilts will be staged. Just like China’s other traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival also has its own special dish— “Tangyuan, a glue pudding”.Tangyuan has a similar pronunciation with 'tuanyuan (reunion)" in Chinese, representing reunion, harmony and happiness for the family.

3. 冬至

在中國北方的一些地區(qū)，冬至要喝餃子湯;其他一些地區(qū)的居民則會吃餃子，他們認為吃餃子可以免受來年的霜凍。然而，在南方，最常見的慶祝方法是一家人聚到一起，吃上一頓用紅豆和糯米做成的飯，他們相信這樣可以驅(qū)鬼辟邪。還有一些地區(qū)會吃湯圓。冬至的湯圓也可能會被用于祭祀，或者饋贈親友。臺灣人甚至還保留著向祖先進貢九層糕的習(xí)俗。他們用糯米粉捏成雞、鴨、龜、豬、牛、羊等象征福祿壽的動物，然后用蒸籠分層蒸熟。

參考譯文：?

In some parts of north China, people have jiaozi soup on this day; while residents of some other places eat jiaozi, saying doing so will keep them from frost in the upcoming winter. But in south China, it is commonplace for the whole family to get together to have a meal made of red beans and glutinous rice. They believe, by doing this, they can drive away ghosts and other evil things. In other places, people also eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour. The Winter Solstice rice dumplings may be used as sacrifices to ancestors, or gifts for friends and relatives. The Taiwanese even keep the custom of offering nine-layer cakes to their ancestors. They made cakes in the shape of chicken, duck, tortoise, pig, cow or sheep with glutinous rice flour and steam them on different layers of a pot. These animals all signify auspiciousness in Chinese tradition.

4. 端午節(jié)

端午節(jié)(Dragon Boat Festival)是中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日之一，為每年農(nóng)歷五月初五。它與春節(jié)、清明節(jié)和中秋節(jié)并稱為中國漢族的四大傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。端午節(jié)的來源有多種說法，但最被人們接受的是為了紀念著名愛國詩人屈原。這一天的習(xí)俗有吃粽子、賽龍舟、喝雄黃酒(realgar wine)等。從2008年起，端午節(jié)正式列入國家法定節(jié)日，這既有助于弘揚傳統(tǒng)文化，又能適應(yīng)人們的需要。

參考翻譯:?Dragon Boat Festival is one of Chinese traditionalfestivals. It's on the fifth day of the fifth lunarmonth. It is known as one of the four majortraditional festivals of Han Chinese together withthe Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

5. 七夕節(jié)

自上世紀90年代后期起，七夕節(jié)(the Double Seventh Festival )開始被稱為“中國的情人節(jié)”。這個節(jié)日可以追溯到漢朝，當時對戀人、女孩都是個特殊的日子。 這天，女孩會舉行儀式，向織女(Zhinv)乞求智慧、技藝和美滿婚姻，所以七夕節(jié)還被稱為“乞巧節(jié)(the Begging for SkillsFestival)”。如今，一些傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗已經(jīng)弱化。人們現(xiàn)在把七夕節(jié)當作浪漫的情人節(jié)來慶祝，尤其是在年輕人中間。

參考譯文： Double Seventh Festival

The Double Seventh Festival has been called Chinese Valentine’s Day since the late 1990s. The festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It was then a special day not only for lovers, but also for girls.Girls would hold a ceremony to beg Zhinv for wisdom, skills and a satisfying marriage. So it is also called “the Begging for Skills Festival”.Today some traditional customs have been weakened. Now the festival is celebrated as a romantic valentine’s day, particularly among young people.

6. 重陽節(jié)

由于它是在中國農(nóng)歷九月初九這一天，所以又被稱為重九節(jié)，至今有約兩千年的歷史。在中國古代，重陽節(jié)是一個重要的節(jié)日，這一天要舉行各種慶祝活動，如:登高、賞菊(chrysanthemum )、插茱萸(cornel)、吃重陽糕等。登髙是重陽節(jié)的主要習(xí)俗。古人認為，在這一天登高可以避禍免災(zāi)。近年來，這個古老的節(jié)日被賦予新的含義，逐漸成為開展各種敬老活動、一年一度的“老年節(jié)”。

參考翻譯: Chongyang Festival，falls on the ninth day of theninth lunar month, because of which，it is alsonamed as the Double-ninth Festival, which has ahistory of some 2,000 years.

7. 餃子

餃子，是一種以面為皮(wrapper)的充餡食物，它是中國北方比較傳統(tǒng)的食物，餃子深受中國漢族人民的喜愛。中國人過春節(jié)和其他節(jié)日，餃子是必不可少的。相傳是我國古代名醫(yī)張仲景發(fā)明的。

“餃子”得名的原因非常簡單，“餃子”音同“交子”，是新舊交替之意，因為春節(jié)標志著新的一年的開始，人們選擇吃餃子來表達他們對新年的美好祝愿。盡管時代變了，但是這一傳統(tǒng)卻保留了下來。

參考譯文：Jiaozi, or dumpling is a kind of food stuffed with filling inside a wheat wrapper. As a quite traditional food in Northern China, it is very popular among Han Chinese.?

Jiaozi is absolutely necessary when the Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival and other festivals. It is said that jiaozi was invented by China's famous ancient doctor Zhang Zhongjing.?

The reason for naming the food as “jiaozi” is very simple: because “jiaozi” is homophonous to the Chinese phrase “change of year”，which means the transition from the old to the new.?

As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi to express their best wishes for the New Year. This tradition has remained unbroken despite the change of times.

8. 面條

早在公元前200年中國人就開始食用面條，它在中國飲食中占據(jù)重要的地位，種類繁多，如雞蛋面、米粉(rice noodles)，綠豆(mung bean )面和小麥面。

在中國北方地區(qū)，小麥面條作為主食(staple food)比人米吃得多。米粉則在南方地區(qū)更普遍。中國面條有不同的寬度和厚度，似通常都較長，因為中國人認為這象征著長壽，因此面條經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在生日慶?；顒又校环Q為長壽面(longevity noodles)。

參考譯文:

Noodles were eaten by Chinese as early as 200 BC and occupy an important position in Chinese food. It has many kinds, such as egg noodles, rice noodles, mung bean noodles and wheat noodles. In the northern regions of China, wheat noodles are the staple food and eaten more than rice. Rice noodles are more commonly consumed in southern China.
