The Spring Festival,also known as the Lunar New Year, is the greatest
traditional festival. It is usually a time between late January or early
February, which means rest and relaxation between winter and spring after
a year';s toil,and means celebration as well. Before the Spring Festival,
people clean their houses, put red couplets on their gates,and set off
firecrackers, according to fairy tale, for driving a demon ,named Nian
,away. On the eve of the Spring Festival, a get-together banquet is a must, and the most popular food is Jiaozi, which is supposed to bring good fortune.On the first day of the new year, everybody wears new clothes and greets relativesand friends with bows and congratulations wishing each other the best during the new year.
春节,又称农历新年,它是中国最重大的传统节日。时间通常在一月底,二月 初,象征着一年辛劳后,冬春之交的休息和放松,也象征了喜庆。 春节前,人们打扫屋子、在大门上贴大红对联、放鞭炮。

of lanterns are exhibited, fireworks set off ,and acrobatics and dances
displayed. Traditionally, Yuanxiao is eaten on the night of the Lantern
Festival, because it symbolizes family unity and happiness. Yuanxiao is
a dough stuffed with sweet stuffings such as sugar and bean paste. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is also called the Yuanxiao Festival.
中国的另一个重要的传统节日是元宵节,它是在一月十五日。这一天各种各样的灯笼挂出来、放焰火、有杂技表演和舞蹈表演等。 按照习俗,灯节晚上要吃元宵,因为元宵意味着团圆和美满。元宵是一种带馅的甜食,馅料有糖、豆馅等。所以,灯节也叫做元宵节。

OK~
The Story of Father';s Day
Father';s Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a "father';s day" was first proposed there were no Father';s Day cards!
与广为流行的错误理解相反,将父亲节设立为一个节日的目的并不是为了帮助贺卡生产商们卖出更多贺卡。实际上,设立"父亲节"的提议被最初提出时,世界上并没有父亲节贺卡!
Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father';s day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd';s mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
华盛顿的约翰·B ·多德夫人最早于1909年提出了设立"父亲节"的建议。多德夫人希望能用一个特殊的日子向她父亲-威廉·斯玛特先生表示敬意。威廉·斯玛特是美国内战中的老兵,他妻子(即多德夫人的母亲)在生育第六个孩子时因难产而死,斯玛特先生从此成为鳏夫。他独自一人在华盛顿州东部的一个乡村农场上抚养新生的孩子及其他五个子女。直到长大成人,多德夫人才意识到她父亲在独自一人养育子女的过程中表现出来的坚强和无私。
The first Father';s Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across America other people were beginning to celebrate a "father';s day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father';s Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father';s Day.
1910年6月19日,人们在华盛顿州的斯波坎庆祝了第一个父亲节。当时,在约莫相同的时间里,美国各地其它城镇的人们也开始庆祝"父亲节"。1924年,卡尔文·柯立兹总统表示支持设立全国性的父亲节的建议。林登·约翰逊总统最终于1966年签署了总统公告,宣布每年六月的第3个星期天为父亲节。
Father';s Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all be honored on Father';s Day.
现在,父亲节已成为人们向父亲和其他任何扮演父亲角色的男人表达敬意的节日。继父、叔父、伯父、祖父、外祖父以及所有的成年男性朋友们都是父亲节的主角。

Dragon Boat Festival
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 during the Dragon Boat Festival.
端午节的由来
端午节,又称为五五节,因为端午节是在农历的五月五日,是三个重要的中国节庆之一,其它两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。
这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原,他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏,但是由于一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害,从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由于无法获得皇帝的重视,屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。
由于对屈原的爱戴,汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原,并且将米丢入汨罗江中,以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原,但是他们的行为,直到今天在端午节的时候,仍然被人们传颂纪念着。

Traditions of Dragon Boat Festiva
风俗习惯
Dragon Boat race
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.
端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛,比赛的队伍在热烈的鼓声中划着他们多彩的龙舟前进。这项活动的灵感是来自于当时汨罗江畔的居民,在江中划船救屈原,而这个传统也一直保持了数个世纪。
Tzung Tzu
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings 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.
在端午节时受欢迎的食物就是粽子 、花生、蛋黄及其它材料,再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统则来由于汨罗江边的渔夫,将米丢入江中平息,粽子是以米包着肉江中的蛟龙,希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。
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.
农历的五月,也就是端午节的这个时节,对中国人而言,除了屈原的故事还有许多其它重要的意义。许多中国人相信五月是一年中容易引发疾病的危险时节,因此必须有许多防备家人生病的措施。许多家庭会将一种特别的植物-艾草挂在门口,作为保护之用,而人们也会挂带香包,它是以含有多种香味的药用植物所做成,也可以保护人们远离疾病。
