端午节

我今天非常高兴，你知道么？今天是农历五月初五端午节。

I'm very happy today, you know? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of may in the lunar calendar.

端午节是我们中国的一个传统节日，据说是为了纪念古代楚国大忠臣屈原的。他是投江而死的，当地居民赶来营救，捞了半天也没捞到，大家就把粽子投下去喂鱼。渐渐就成了风俗，端午节也就有了吃粽子、赛龙舟的习俗。听爸爸说，我们这里的习俗是端午节吃粽子、喝雄黄酒、挂艾草和菖蒲剑。我还和爸爸一起在门口挂了艾草和菖蒲剑，听说是驱邪的。

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which is said to commemorate Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of the ancient Chu state. He was killed by throwing rice dumplings into the river. Local residents rushed to rescue him. After a long time of fishing, they didn't get them, so they threw them to feed the fish. Gradually became a custom, Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of eating zongzi, dragon boat race. Listen to my father, our custom here is to eat zongzi, drink realgar wine, hang wormwood and calamus sword on Dragon Boat Festival. I also hung mugwort and calamus sword at the door with my father. It's said that they are exorcists.

奶奶要做粽子了，我连忙跑去观看。奶奶做的是蜜枣棕，她先准备好箬叶，然后再把糯米放进裹成锥形的箬叶里，再在糯米中间放颗蜜枣，最后把叶子包起来，紧紧地扎上线就可以了。把裹好的粽子放进锅里煮，我就开始耐心等待了。

Grandma is going to make zongzi. I rushed to watch it. Grandma made the jujube palm. She first prepared the Ruo leaves, then put the glutinous rice into the Ruo leaves wrapped in a cone, then put a jujube in the middle of the glutinous rice, finally wrap the leaves and tie them tightly on the line. Put the wrapped dumplings into the pot and cook, and I began to wait patiently.

粽子煮好了。我接过粽子就是一口，啊！又甜又软，真好吃！我吃了好几个，肚子都快撑破了！

Zongzi is cooked. I take over zongzi is a mouthful, ah! It's sweet and soft. It's delicious! I ate several, and my stomach was bursting!
