1. 中秋习俗
在中国月饼是一种特殊的食品，广受海内外华人的欢迎。中秋吃月饼就好比圣诞节吃馅饼(mince pies)。为了庆祝中秋节，中国人通常做两件事：一是观赏满月。二是品尝美味的月饼。中秋节是每年农历八月十五日。据说，这一天的月亮是一年中最圆的。而月亮正是庆贺中秋的全部主题。在中国人眼中，月饼象征着全家人的大团圆。
参考译文：
moon cakes are aspecial kind of food in china. they are very popular with the chinese at
讲解：第二句中的“??就好比”可以用“……s like…”，但译文中所用句型更好地表达这个含义。如：“智力之于大脑，犹如视力之于躯体。“ intellect is to the mind what sight is tothe body.”
2. 传统艺术
皮影戏又称“影子戏”。它是中国著名民间戏剧形式之一。表演时艺人通常一边演唱一边操纵用兽皮或纸板制作的人物形象。它们的影子通过灯光出现在帘布上。这营造了有人物在活动的幻象。有时表演者需要控制三到四个偶人。皮影戏在我国历史悠久，元代时还曾传到世界上很多国家，迷倒了不少国外戏迷，被人们亲切地称为“中国影灯”。
参考译文
the shadow puppetplay, also known as ‘shadow play’, is one of china’s famous folk opera forms.during the performance, players usually sing while holing/manipulating humanfigures, which are made of animal skin and paper board. the shadows of thosehuman figures are
reflected on a curtain through the light. this creates theillusion of moving images. sometimes the performer needs to control three orfour puppets. shadow
puppet play enjoys a long history in china. it was introducedto many countries during the yuan dynasty and attracted many foreign audience.they call the art form chinese shadow play.
3. 社交饥渴
手机，是一项伟大的发明。但很显然，手机也刷新了人与人的关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条公告：请与会者关闭手机。可是，会议室里手机铃声仍然响成一片。我们都是普通人，并没有多少特别重要的事情。尽管如此，我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征着我们与这个世界的联系。显然，手机反映出我们的“社交饥渴症”。(thirst for socialization)
参考译文
the cell phone is agreat invention. but obviously, it has altered the relationship among
people.there is usually a notice on the door of the meeting room, which reads, “pleaseturn off your hand-set.” however, phones ring now and then when the meetinggoes on. we are but ordinary people and have few urgencies to tackle with.nevertheless, we will not switch off our
phones easily. phones-on symbolizesour connecting with this world. obviously, cell phone has been reflecting our“thirst for socialization”.
4. 北京介绍
北京是座有三千年历史的古城。早在公元前十一世纪，北京就是燕国的国都，因此北京有燕京之称。在以后的几千年里，北京又成为金、元、明、清各朝的国都。北京是中国的六大古都之一，其他五个是西安、南京、洛阳、开封和杭州。北京是座既古老又年轻的城市，有许多名胜古迹。从故宫、天坛到颐和园，你们可以看到北京保留了许多昔日的风采。
参考译文
beijing is anancient city with a history of 3,000 years. as early as the 11th century, b.c.,it was the capital of the kingdom of yan; thats why beijing is also known asyanjing. in the few thousand years afterwards, beijing again served as thecapital for the jin,yuan, ming, and qing dynasties. beijing is one of chinassix ancient capitals; the other five are xi’an，nanjing, luoyang, kaifeng, and hangzhou.beijing is a city both old and young, with many places of historical interestand scenic beauty. from the forbidden city, the temple of heaven, and thesummer palace, you can see that beijing has retained a lot of color of oldchinese life.
5. 生活习惯
多少年来，我养成了一个习惯：每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步，而是一下床就干活儿。因此我对黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感觉到的。我从前在什么报上读过一篇文章，讲黎明时分天安门广场上的清洁工人。那情景必然是非常动人的，可惜我从未能见到，只是心向往之而已。
参考译文
for many years, ihave been in the habit of getting up before daybreak to start work at
four.instead of going out for a jog or walk, i’ll set about my work as soon as i’mout of bed. as a result, it is from inside my study that ive got the feel ofpredawn beijing. years ago, i hit upon a newspaper article about streetcleaners in tian’anmen square at daybreak. it must have been a very movingscene, but what a pity i haven’t seen it with my own eyes. i can only pictureit in my mind longingly.
6. 保护动物
目前，人类的生存环境正在遭到破坏，美丽的大自然已经不那么美丽了。保护野生动物，也就是保护人类自己。我强烈呼吁：不要再捕杀黑猩猩，不要再捕杀野生动物了，让我们人类多一些地球上的朋友，多给我们下一代保留一些野生动物吧! 否则，地球将毁灭在人类手中，人类将毁灭在自己手中。
参考译文
atpresent, man’s living environment is being ruined, and beautiful nature is nolonger so
beautiful. protection of wild life is protection of man himself. so iappeal strongly to all to stop killing the chimpanzee or any other wild animal.let us human beings have more friends on the earth, and leave more wild lifefor future
generations. or the earth would be destroyed by man, and man by manhimself.

【篇三：中国出生习俗的英文介绍——外教课口语交际实用】
one-year-old birthday
周岁生日
when the child is one year old，there is an interesting custom called “zhua-zhou. zhuazhou is
regarded as one of the most important customs on a childs first birthday.
孩子一岁时有个非常有趣的风俗叫“抓周”。抓周被认为是孩子周岁生日最重要的组成部分之一。
the earliest written record of this custom can be traced back to the song dynasty. hosts do not even send out invitations. relatives will show up spontaneously to celebrate the childs first birthday.
gifts from relatives on this day are usually not costly，and do not include such items as gold or silver，jewellery. instead，dimsum or toys are presented to the child. seniors meeting the child
for the first time usually offer a coin to be fastened around the childs neck with thread.
关于“抓周”的最早的记载可以追溯到宋朝。抓周时亲戚们会自发地出席，来庆祝孩子的周岁生日。虽然也会给孩子礼物，但往往不会很贵，不会有金银首饰，通常都是零花钱或玩具。第一次见到孩子的长辈会把一个硬币用线系到孩子的颈上。 the zhuazhou ceremony usually takes place before lunchtime. family will install a table on the bed where stamps，dassic confucian，buddhist and taoist books，a chinese brush pen，ink, paper, coins, jewellery，flowers， food and toys are placed. if the baby is female, the following items are added: scissors，ruler， thread，etc. the practice, however, is much more simplified in acommon family.
抓周仪式通常会在午饭吃长寿面之前举行。富庶的家庭会在床或炕上摆个桌子，放上印、经典儒佛道家典籍、笔墨纸砚、硬币、珠宝、花、食物和玩具。如果是女孩，除了这些再加上勺子、剪子、尺子、线等物。平常人家的抓周仪式要简单多了。 the parents then seat the baby in front of the table or the tray. without help or guidance from anyone the baby is then free to choose anything in front of them. the selected items he or she chooses are used
to foretell the childs interests, career in the future.
父母把自己的孩子放到桌子前面,不给任何帮助和指导让孩子自由地选择。孩子选的东西会预言孩子的兴趣、事业和未来。 selecting the stamp means the child will be an officer in the future;. a girl baby who first grabs a sewing item or cooking utensil will be a good housewife. when the child picks a cake or a toy，
he or she will know how to enjoy the pleasures in life. in the great chinese literary classis, hong lou meng， jia baoyu，the hero，actually grabbed powder and other girls stuff at the ceremony when he was a child. as a result, he likes mingling with girls very much. qian zhong shu，a very famous scholar in china，took a book at the ceremony. his father gladly named him zhongshu，which literally means “book lover，and he proved his penchant for studies later in his life.
选了官印，孩子将来会做官.选了缝纫或烹饪用品的女孩将来会成为很好的家庭主妇。反之，如果孩子选了蛋糕或者玩具，将来就会享受生活的乐趣。在中国古典名著《红楼梦》里，贾宝玉在抓周时抓了脂粉和其他一些女孩的东西，他后来非常喜欢在女孩堆里厮混。据说中国著名学者钱钟书在一岁抓周的仪式上抓了本书。他的父亲因此非常开心，给他取名为“钟书”。后来，他的成就也证明了这一点。
the custom of zhuazhou influences how the parents and relatives will encourage the child，
and how they will conduct enlightenment education. therefore，even
though some parents may not be superstitious，they will still carry out the custom. this is also
why the custom has been passed on through so many generations and is still practiced to this day.
抓周的习俗会影响家长和亲友将来怎样鼓励孩子，怎样对孩子进行启蒙教育。所以，虽然有些父母并不迷信，他们也会举行抓周仪式。这就是这一习俗历经数代仍然延续不息的原因了。
