中国的传统节庆膳食除了在数量和质量上与平时有所不同之外,一些历史悠久、具有象征意义的食物也是节日必不可缺的伴侣。
Traditional holiday meals are different from everyday meals in terms of quantity and quality. In addition, some foods with a long history and symbolic significance are indispensable on these occasions.
例如,我国的端午节是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子。
For example, on the Dragon Boat Festival, a day set aside in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan, people will hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves.
中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness, and family reunion. The special food of the day is the yuebing, a round moon cake.
春节是中国的农历新年,除了常见的海鲜、家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统菜肴,如饺子和年糕。
The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. In addition to the popular seafood, poultry and meat, people will prepare traditional food, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the year cake according to their regional custom.

Chinese to English:1. 玉器是光辉灿烂的中华民族历史文化宝库中一枝异彩独放的奇葩。中国玉器在新石器时代的河姆渡文化时期就开始出现。7000年来一直延续不断,发展至今。玉器在北欧、西欧、贝加尔湖等地的原始社会时期,以及南北美洲的印第安人和新西兰的毛里人都有制作,但都延续时间不长,无法与中国的玉器相提并论。悠久的制作历史,精湛的制作工艺,典雅的造型,绚丽的色彩,形成了中国玉器突出的民族特色。Jade article is an exotic flower in Chinese brilliant historical culture. Chinese jade article have emerged since Neolithic Hemudu period 7000 years ago. Jade articles started to be manufactured in primitive Northern Europe, Western Europe and Baikal Lake, by Indian in Northern American and Maori in New Zealand.

Chinese jade article distinguished its ethnic features in long manufacture history, exquisite craftsmanship, elegant modeling and gorgeous colors.

中国一些传统文化的英文介绍
一、过年由来- - 中国古时侯有一种叫”年”的怪兽,头长尖角,凶猛异常,”年”兽长年深居海底,每到除夕,爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命,因此每到除夕,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼,逃往深山,以躲避”年”的伤害.今年的除夕,乡亲们都忙着收拾东西逃往深山,这时候村东头来了一个白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚,他定能将”年”兽驱走.众人不信,老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好,老人坚持留下,众人见劝他不住,便纷纷上山躲避去了.当”年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候,突然传来白发老人燃响的爆竹声,”年”兽混身颤栗,再也不敢向前凑了,原来”年”兽最怕红色,火光和炸响.这时大门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑,”年”兽大惊失色,仓惶而逃。第二天,当人们从深山回到村里时,发现村里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟,原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐”年”兽的神仙,人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐”年”兽的三件法宝.从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户灯火通明,守更待岁.这风俗越传越广,成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日”过年”. 土家族民间体育活动之一--舞龙灯 二、舞龙灯的意义 舞龙灯,是中华民族的传统文化活动,各民族都有舞龙灯的习俗,传说,土家族在很早以前没有舞龙习惯。有一年,久旱不雨,禾苗枯黄,溪河断流,来了一位能算天气晴雨阴旱、人间祸福的鬼谷先生,对土家人说:“大家不要愁,今天午后未时排云,戌时下雨,城内下三分,城外下七分”。他这话,被治水的金勾老龙听到后心想,凡间有如此能人还要我管什么水?!顿生嫉妒,便赌气将玉皇大帝命他在城内城外的下雨量倒改过来分。结果,倾盆大雨,水淹城内,房屋倒塌,淹死了许多人这事被当坊土地向玉皇大帝启奏后,玉皇大帝把金勾老龙打入天牢,七天后斩首示众。观音菩萨知道此事向玉皇大帝求情保救老龙。没待观音开口,玉皇大帝就放阴剑把金勾老龙斩成九节。此后,鬼谷先生又来对土家人说:“老龙被斩,是和我赌气而丧命,但他对民间做了不少好事,他死了,你们要为他烧点香纸。”于是,土家人就制作九节金龙,到各村寨起舞,叫人们敬奉,求老龙保佑风调雨顺,五谷丰登。久之,舞龙亦成为土家族的传统习俗。但是,土家舞龙,在城镇是舞全国各地大同小异的布扎龙,在土家山寨舞龙与各地有别,其自成特色。 三、清明节的由来 我国传统的清明节大约始于周代,已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气,清明一到,气温升高,正是春耕春种的大好时节,故有“清明前后,种瓜种豆”。“植树造林,莫过清明”的农谚。后来,由于清明与寒食的日子接近,而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子,渐渐的,寒食与清明就合二为一了,而寒食既成为清明的别称,也变成为清明时节的一个习俗,清明之日不动烟火,只吃凉的食品。 关于寒食,有这样一个传说: 相传春秋战国时代,晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位,就设毒

中国传统文化英语翻译.
1.香囊(scented sachet),古代也称“香袋”,通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子,里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。香囊不仅有用,而且可作装饰品。它们的形状和大小各异,有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。它们通常配有精致的图案,每个图案都象征着特别的含义。例如,双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多孩子。漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品,而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。 翻译:Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others.
