2、。 2 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节 (the Dragon Boat Festival)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(zongzi)。中秋节 (The Midautumn Day)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。春节是中国的农历新年 (the Chinese lunar New Year)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如饺子和年糕。 3 北京有无数的胡同 (hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不
3、仅仅是平民百姓的生活环境，而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常，胡同内有一些大杂院，房司够 4到 10个家庭的差不多 20口人住。所以，胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今，随着社会和经济的飞速发展，很多胡同被新的高楼大厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来。 4 清明节 (the Tomb-Sweeping Day)， 是中国人祭祀祖先最重要的节日。清明节源于周朝，有 2 000多年的历史。清明是中国 24节气 (24 solar terms)之一，它预示着春天的到来。寒食节是人们为祖先扫墓、吃冷食的节日。清明与寒食节相连，因此二者后来逐渐成为一个节日，扫墓和吃冷食成了清明的习俗。清明成了富有文化含义、意义重
4、大的纪念节日。从古代起，就有很多有关清明的艺术作品和诗作。其中，唐代诗人杜牧写的清明家喻户晓。 5 每年的农历九月初九是中国的传统节日重阳节 (the Double Ninth Festival)。重阳节有 2 000多年的历史，早在唐朝时期就正式被定为民间节日。皇帝和百姓，都根据礼仪和风俗庆祝重阳节。随着时间的流逝，重阳节逐渐形成一些庆祝习俗，如出游、登高、插茱萸 (cornel)。重阳节那天，全家人通常在一起庆祝节日，而离家的人则会倍加思乡。汉族的传统观念认为，数字 9代表健康长寿，因此中国政府于1 989年将农历九月初九定为 “老人节 ”。 大学英语四级改革适用（段落翻译）模拟试卷 32
