中国新年_春节介绍(中英文)
Spring Festival (Chinese New Year)
History
It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sac rifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, p eople prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship different deities as well on that day. It is t he time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fi xed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deitie s and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as befor e. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of cerem onies to welcome it.
Legends
There are many legends about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk cultu re, it is also called “guonian” (meaning “passing a year”). It is said that the “nian” (year) was a strong monster which was fierce and cruel and ate one ki nd of animal including human being a day. Human beings were scared about i
t and had to hide on the evening when the “nian” came out. Later, people fou nd that “nian” was very scared abou t the red color and fireworks. So after tha t, people use red color and fireworks or firecrac
kers to drive away “nian”. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.
Customs and Practices
Every family does a thorough house cleaning and purchases enough food, inclu ding fish, meat, roasted nuts and seeds, all kinds of candies and fruits, etc, for the festival period. Also, new clothes must be bought, especially for children. Red scrolls with complementary poetic couplets, one line on each side of the gate, are pasted at every gate. The Chinese character 'Fu' is pasted on the ce nter of the door and paper-cut pictures adorn windows.
Taboos
The Spring Festival is a start for a new year, so it is regarded as the omen o f a year. People have many taboos during this period. Many bad words related to “death”, “broken”, “killing”, “ghost” and “illness” or “sickness” are forbidd en during conversations. In some places, there are more specific details. They consider it unlucky if the barrel of rice is empty, because they think they will have nothing to eat in the next year. Taking medicine is forbidden on this da y, otherwise, people will have sick for the whole year and take medicine const antly.
历史
中国人在农历最后一个月祭祀祖先，据说春节习俗由此而来。当时，人们在准备祭祀时会进行大清扫、洗澡等。后来，人们也开始在那一天祭拜不同的神灵。此时几乎所有的农活都已收尾，人们有了空闲时间。祭祀时间随耕种时间而变，直到汉代才固定下来（公元前202年至公元220年）。祭祀神灵和祖先的习俗至今仍有，但是并没有以前那么盛大。又因为此时正值冬春交际之时，所以人们会举办各种庆祝活动迎接春天的到来。
传说
中国文化中关于春节的传说有很多。在中国民间文化中，春节又被称为“过年”（意为“过了一年”）。据说“年”是一头凶猛残忍的强大的怪兽，每天都会吃一种动物，包括人类。人们都很害怕它，晚上“年”出来活动时，大家都不得不躲起来。后来，人们发现“年”很怕红和烟花。所以人们从此都用红和烟花或鞭炮来驱赶“年”。因此，使用红和放烟花的习俗就流传了下来。
习俗惯例
每家每户都会全面地打扫房子，并采购足够的食物包括鱼、猪肉、炒货、各种糖果等，供节日所用。同时，还要办置新衣，尤其是小孩的新衣。大门两侧贴着写有对联的红横幅，每个门上都有一副对联。门正央贴着汉字“福”字，窗上装饰着剪纸。
禁忌
春节是一年的开始，被认为预示着一年的运气。节日期间有很多禁忌。很多与“死”、“破碎”、“杀”、“鬼”和“病”有关的不吉利的话都是禁止谈到的。一些地方的禁忌更为具体。在那些地方，空米桶被认为不吉利，因为他们觉得来年将无米可食。吃药也是禁止的，否则整年都会生病、都得吃药。

六一儿童节的两种来历(中英文)
每年的6月1日是国际六一儿童节，这一天是全世界小朋友们的节日。那你知道这个节日的由来吗？常见的有2种说法，我们一起来了解下吧！
第一种说法：
The International Children's Day had its origin in Turkey in 1920 (April 2 3, 1920) and later in the World Conference in Geneva, Switzerland,which 54 r
epresentatives from different countries gathered together to convene the first " World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children" in 1925.
最早过六一儿童节的国家是土耳其，他们在1920年就开始了。1925年，在日内瓦国际会议上，瑞士等52个国家共同召开了主题为“让孩子们更幸福全球会议”。
It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children' s Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (US A) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festiva l in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva。
之所以把6月1日作为国际儿童节，一种说法是1925年，中国驻美国的总领事曾在旧金山领着一些中国孤儿庆祝端午节。那一年的端午节刚好是6月1日，发生的时间与之前的日内瓦会议相符。
第二种说法：
Children, also known as "June 1 International Children's Day," the annual June 1, the world of children's festivals. November 1949, the Women's Internat ional Democratic Federation council meeting held in Moscow. China and other countries and representatives of countries and anger exposed the imperialist re actionaries kill and poison children. In order to protect the world's children to survival, health and education, to improve the lives of children. The meeting d ecided in the annual June 1 International Children's Day。
1942年6月，德国法西斯党卫军包围了现在捷克共和国的首都布拉格市附近的利迪策村，杀了16岁以上男性公民140多人，全部婴儿和妇女被押往集中营，另外有90名儿童被押往波兰的一个集中营(其中只有17人活到战争结束)。村里所有的房舍、建筑物均被烧毁或被铲土机夷为平地。就这样，一个好好的村庄被法西斯党卫军毁灭了。为了悼念利迪策村和全世界所有在战争中死难的儿童，反对帝国主义战争贩子虐杀、毒害儿童，保障儿童的权利，1949年11月在苏联首都莫斯科召开的国际民主妇女联合会理事会通过一项决议，正式决定每年的6月1日为全世界儿童的节日，即"六一"国际儿童节。
The International Children's Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year。
目前世界上不少国家将6月1日定为儿童的节日，称为"国际儿童节"。然而，在欧美国家，儿童节的日期各不相同，而且往往很少举行社会公众性的庆祝活动。
