Alex around the world
10 January, a wedding① ceremony②， India
When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding[1], I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime[2]. I was definitely not wrong!
[1]When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding是when引导的时间状语从句。
[2]it would be the opportunity of a lifetime是省略了that的宾语从句。
The wedding ceremony took place③ in a brightly decorated④ hotel room[3]. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in⑤ formal⑥，colourful clothes. According to tradition⑦，the bride⑧ was wearing an eye-catching⑨ red silk sari⑩.
[3]过去分词decorated作hotel room的前置定语。
I did not understand all of the traditional customs ， but a few made a deep impression on me. One was the bridegroom's entrance on a beautiful white horse. I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim's father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband[4]. It reminded me of my sister's wedding. Although our cultures are so different[5], the smiling faces are the same.
[4]when引导定语从句，修饰the part.
[5]although引导让步状语从句。
The customs that followed were anything but ordinary . The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times. Then they took seven steps together by the fire, and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily[6]. It was very romantic ！
[6]how 引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。
After the ceremony, it was time for the celebrations. That is a story for another day, but let's just say there was a lot of dancing. Now I know I have two left feet ... and both of them hurt！
26 February, Rio Carnival, Brazil
The summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight . No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion . I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air !
To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myself[7], I went to a street party. Luckily, I arrived just in time—the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry crowd[8]. I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street. Some of them carried flags, which blew in the wind[9]. The crowd waited with excitement .
[7]动词不定式短语To experience...作目的状语。
[8]as引导时间状语从句。
[9]which blew in the wind是which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰flags。
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music, and the group jumped into action . The band started playing an energetic samba beat , the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing. The whole group started marching down the street. The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way[10]. Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands [11]. I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by[12]!
[10]在“The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way.”中，现在分词短语dancing all the way作伴随状语。
[11]在“Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands.”中，在and连接的第二个并列分句中，as引导时间状语从句。
[12]在“I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by！”中，so... that...引导结果状语从句。
Even as I lay in bed that evening[13], the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me. What an amazing first day in Rio[14]!
[13]Even as I lay in bed that evening中的as引导时间状语从句。
[14]“What an amazing first day in Rio！”中的what引导感叹句。
[汉语译文]
亚力克斯环球游记
一月十日，一场婚礼(wedding ceremony)，印度
当纳迪姆邀请我参加他妹妹的婚礼时，我觉得这是个千载难逢的好机会。结果我还真没猜错！
婚礼在一间装饰(decorate)华美的酒店包房内举行。到场宾客数以百计，个个身着色彩艳丽的正式(formal)服装。遵照传统(tradition)，新娘(bride)身穿一袭分外夺目的(eye-catching)红丝绸莎丽(sari)。
不是所有的传统习俗(custom)我都了解，但有一些给我留下了深刻的印象(impression)。一个是新郎(bridegroom)入场(entrance)时竟骑着一匹俊美的白马。这我在国内可从未见过！再就是纳迪姆的父亲自豪地领着女儿，穿过一排排座位走向新郎的环节。这一幕让我想起了我妹妹的婚礼。尽管文化殊异，但含笑的面孔却是一样的。
接下来的风俗也都不(anything but)同寻常(ordinary)。新婚夫妇携手围着一个小火堆走上四圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一条誓言，誓言里讲的都是二人将来会如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪漫(romantic)了！
仪式之后，就是欢庆的时刻了。这个话题改日再聊，且这么说吧，舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我有两只左脚，而且都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里约狂欢节，巴西
一下飞机(flight)，就有一股暑热袭来。难怪里约人民要为这场欢乐的庆典(occasion)放假一周。我已经感觉到了——这狂欢节的气氛(in the air 可感觉到)!
为了切身体验狂欢节的精神，我加入了一个街头派对。来得早不如来得巧——我刚在欢乐的(merry)人群中找好位置，表演就要开始了。我看到一群人，其中有大约二十名巴西舞者以及一支乐队(band)，他们身着华丽的服装(costume)站在街头，有人还拿着旗子，旗子随风飘荡着。人们激动地翘首以待。
突然，鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐喷薄而出，歌舞队应声一跃而起。乐队奏起劲爆的桑巴(samba)节拍，跳舞的人扭动(twist)腰身，人群开始欢呼、鼓掌(clap)、歌唱。歌舞队全体开始沿街前行(march)。狂欢节的人潮(current)裹挟着我们在越来越浩瀚的人海中穿行，走一路跳一路。装着饮料啤酒(beer)的冰柜沿狭长的街道一溜排开，当我们经过一波又一波的街边摊时，空气中弥漫着烤(roast)肉的香味。我深深地沉迷于(be caught up in)派对的狂热中，不知不觉五个小时已经过去了。
即使晚上我躺在床上的时候，那鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐依然在我脑海中盘旋游弋。里约首日，多么奇妙的一天！

正要做……这时(突然)……

背景导入：端午节是中国最古老、最受欢迎的传统节日之一。关于端午节你了解多少？端午节为什么有吃粽子和赛龙舟的习俗？
The Origin of the Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, is one of the oldest and most popular traditional Chinese festivals.
This festival is in honour of Qu Yuan who is one of China's best poets. Tian Wen or Heavenly Questions is a piece contained in the classical Chinese poetry collection of Chu Ci, which is an anthology of Chinese poetry from the Warring States period. Tian Wen was the most beloved poem and was written by Qu Yuan. The poem posts over 170 questions to Heaven about Chinese mythology and religious beliefs, but the poet does not include the answers.
While Qu Yuan was in exile in 278 BC, the state of Chu was conquered by the state of Qin. Seeing his beloved country ruined, he was left heartbroken and soon died.
After news of Qu Yuan's death spread, the people of Chu, who admired Qu Yuan greatly, paddled their boats out and raced to save his body. They raced from Miluo River all the way to Dongting Lake.
The people wished to stop the fish from eating Qu Yuan's body by disturbing the waters with their passage. This is said to be the origin of the yearly dragon boat race.
It is said that the people of Chu started throwing zongzi, (glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo) into the water in order to attract the fish so that they would not eat the poet's body. They also poured a big jar of strong liquor into the water in order to calm the water dragon so that it would not eat his body.
The tradition of making zongzi lasts up to today and has developed into many varieties. Along with rice and eggs, ingredients may include red bean paste, meat, and red dates. Nowadays, people in South Korea, Japan, and throughout southeastern Asia also enjoy making zongzi.
Traditional Chinese culture puts much emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the body when a person dies. This is vividly depicted in this legend that surrounds the Dragon Boat Festival.
【译文】
端午节的起源
端午节在中国农历五月初五这一天庆祝，它是中国最古老、最受欢迎的传统节日之一。
这个节日是为了纪念中国最优秀的诗人之一——屈原。《天问》是中国古典诗集《楚辞》中的一篇，《楚辞》是战国时期的中国诗歌选集。《天问》由屈原所写，广受世人推崇。这首诗向天提出了170多个关于中国神话和宗教信仰的问题，但诗人没有给出答案。
公元前278年，屈原被流放时，楚国被秦国攻占。看到他深爱的国家被毁，他伤心欲绝，没多久就去世了。
由于楚国人民非常景仰屈原，屈原之死的消息传开后，他们就划着小船从汨罗江一路到洞庭湖去搜寻屈原的遗体。
人们希望通过划船扰乱水域来防止屈原的身体被鱼吃掉。据说这就是一年一度的龙舟竞赛的起源。
据说，楚国人开始把粽子(包在竹筒里的带有不同馅料的糯米)扔进水里是为了吸引鱼，这样它们就不会吃屈原的身体了。他们还往水里倒了一大罐烈性酒，使水里的龙平静下来，这样龙也不会吃屈原的身体了。
制作粽子的传统一直延续到今天，并发展成多种多样的形式。除了米和鸡蛋，原料还包括红豆沙、肉和红枣。如今，韩国、日本和东南亚的人们也很喜欢制作粽子。
传统的中国文化非常重视在人死后保持身体的完整。在这个围绕端午节的传说中，这一点被生动地描绘了出来。

Alex around the world
10 January, a wedding① ceremony②， India
When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding[1], I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime[2]. I was definitely not wrong!
[1]When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding是when引导的时间状语从句。
[2]it would be the opportunity of a lifetime是省略了that的宾语从句。
The wedding ceremony took place③ in a brightly decorated④ hotel room[3]. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in⑤ formal⑥，colourful clothes. According to tradition⑦，the bride⑧ was wearing an eye-catching⑨ red silk sari⑩.
[3]过去分词decorated作hotel room的前置定语。
I did not understand all of the traditional customs ， but a few made a deep impression on me. One was the bridegroom's entrance on a beautiful white horse. I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim's father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband[4]. It reminded me of my sister's wedding. Although our cultures are so different[5], the smiling faces are the same.
[4]when引导定语从句，修饰the part.
[5]although引导让步状语从句。
The customs that followed were anything but ordinary . The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times. Then they took seven steps together by the fire, and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily[6]. It was very romantic ！
[6]how 引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。
After the ceremony, it was time for the celebrations. That is a story for another day, but let's just say there was a lot of dancing. Now I know I have two left feet ... and both of them hurt！
26 February, Rio Carnival, Brazil
The summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight . No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion . I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air !
To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myself[7], I went to a street party. Luckily, I arrived just in time—the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry crowd[8]. I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street. Some of them carried flags, which blew in the wind[9]. The crowd waited with excitement .
[7]动词不定式短语To experience...作目的状语。
[8]as引导时间状语从句。
[9]which blew in the wind是which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰flags。
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music, and the group jumped into action . The band started playing an energetic samba beat , the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing. The whole group started marching down the street. The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way[10]. Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands [11]. I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by[12]!
[10]在“The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way.”中，现在分词短语dancing all the way作伴随状语。
[11]在“Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands.”中，在and连接的第二个并列分句中，as引导时间状语从句。
[12]在“I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by！”中，so... that...引导结果状语从句。
Even as I lay in bed that evening[13], the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me. What an amazing first day in Rio[14]!
[13]Even as I lay in bed that evening中的as引导时间状语从句。
[14]“What an amazing first day in Rio！”中的what引导感叹句。
[汉语译文]
亚力克斯环球游记
一月十日，一场婚礼(wedding ceremony)，印度
当纳迪姆邀请我参加他妹妹的婚礼时，我觉得这是个千载难逢的好机会。结果我还真没猜错！
婚礼在一间装饰(decorate)华美的酒店包房内举行。到场宾客数以百计，个个身着色彩艳丽的正式(formal)服装。遵照传统(tradition)，新娘(bride)身穿一袭分外夺目的(eye-catching)红丝绸莎丽(sari)。
不是所有的传统习俗(custom)我都了解，但有一些给我留下了深刻的印象(impression)。一个是新郎(bridegroom)入场(entrance)时竟骑着一匹俊美的白马。这我在国内可从未见过！再就是纳迪姆的父亲自豪地领着女儿，穿过一排排座位走向新郎的环节。这一幕让我想起了我妹妹的婚礼。尽管文化殊异，但含笑的面孔却是一样的。
接下来的风俗也都不(anything but)同寻常(ordinary)。新婚夫妇携手围着一个小火堆走上四圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一条誓言，誓言里讲的都是二人将来会如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪漫(romantic)了！
仪式之后，就是欢庆的时刻了。这个话题改日再聊，且这么说吧，舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我有两只左脚，而且都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里约狂欢节，巴西
一下飞机(flight)，就有一股暑热袭来。难怪里约人民要为这场欢乐的庆典(occasion)放假一周。我已经感觉到了——这狂欢节的气氛(in the air 可感觉到)!
为了切身体验狂欢节的精神，我加入了一个街头派对。来得早不如来得巧——我刚在欢乐的(merry)人群中找好位置，表演就要开始了。我看到一群人，其中有大约二十名巴西舞者以及一支乐队(band)，他们身着华丽的服装(costume)站在街头，有人还拿着旗子，旗子随风飘荡着。人们激动地翘首以待。
突然，鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐喷薄而出，歌舞队应声一跃而起。乐队奏起劲爆的桑巴(samba)节拍，跳舞的人扭动(twist)腰身，人群开始欢呼、鼓掌(clap)、歌唱。歌舞队全体开始沿街前行(march)。狂欢节的人潮(current)裹挟着我们在越来越浩瀚的人海中穿行，走一路跳一路。装着饮料啤酒(beer)的冰柜沿狭长的街道一溜排开，当我们经过一波又一波的街边摊时，空气中弥漫着烤(roast)肉的香味。我深深地沉迷于(be caught up in)派对的狂热中，不知不觉五个小时已经过去了。
即使晚上我躺在床上的时候，那鲜艳的色彩和热烈的音乐依然在我脑海中盘旋游弋。里约首日，多么奇妙的一天！

be doing...when...“正在做……这时(突然)……”。when为并列连词，表示“这时/那时(突然)”，相当于and at this/that time。
be on the point of doing...when...
正要做……这时(突然)……
had just done...when...刚做了……这时(突然)……

(教材原句)Della had her hair cut off and sold it for twenty dollars.德拉把头发剪掉，卖了二十美元。
[句式分析] 本句中“had her hair cut off”为“have sth. done”结构
(1)该结构中，have为使役动词，sth.为宾语，过去分词作宾语补足语，表示被动含义，sth.与构成过去分词的动词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。
(2)该结构的意思是“使某事被做”，可能是主语自己做，也可能是让别人做。此时have可用get替换。
(3)有时该结构还可表示“遭遇/经历某种不幸的事(此事违背主语的意愿)”。
He wants to have his eyes examined tomorrow.
他明天想去检查眼睛。(“检查”的动作由医生来进行)
I must have the work finished before Sunday.

(教材原句)Della had her hair cut off and sold it for twenty dollars.德拉把头发剪掉，卖了二十美元。
[句式分析] 本句中“had her hair cut off”为“have sth. done”结构
(1)该结构中，have为使役动词，sth.为宾语，过去分词作宾语补足语，表示被动含义，sth.与构成过去分词的动词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。
(2)该结构的意思是“使某事被做”，可能是主语自己做，也可能是让别人做。此时have可用get替换。
(3)有时该结构还可表示“遭遇/经历某种不幸的事(此事违背主语的意愿)”。
He wants to have his eyes examined tomorrow.

[教材原文]
A precious① family dinner
It is just past five o'clock on the Chinese New Year's Eve②， and the dinner table is already covered with③ white china④ plates⑤ and bowls, full of all sorts⑥ of dishes: chicken, duck, pork⑦， fish and vegetables. Luo Yan, 29, lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in⑧ the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan's son, Bofeng, happily takes a bite⑨ of the chicken his grandfather has selected⑩ for him[1].
[1]his wife and mother have prepared和 his grandfather has selected for him都是省略了which/that的定语从句 。
Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy and excitement. Indeed, the whole family could not be happier[2] to be together. Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house. Luo Yan and his wife and son have settled ， in the big city, far away from their hometown. Every year, they travel back for the Spring Festival, for their dream of “three generations under the same roof”．
[2]could not be happier是“否定词＋比较级”表达最高级含义。
The Luo family's journey back to their hometown was a long and tiring one just a few years ago. However，the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home[3]. During the five-hour trip, they chatted excitedly with each other, their minds full of thoughts about their sweet home.
[3]句子the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home中，it是形式宾语，真正宾语是后面的不定式短语to go back home。
On their arrival ， they find Luo's parents eagerly waiting for them. Their home has been specially decorated for the joyous occasion. From the neat designs of the papercuttings on the windows, to the Spring Festival couplets on the door, and to[4] the New Year paintings on the wall, everything represents joy, luck and happiness.Even the fish on the plate expresses a hope for nian nian you yu—yu means both “fish” and “plenty” in Chinese—“May you get more than you wish for every year”．
[4]介词短语from... to...，and to...在句中作状语。
After dinner, the hours until midnight go slowly by. The whole family are going to stay up late on the Chinese New Year's Eve. They gather around the television to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while eating snacks ， chatting with each other and making dumplings that they will eat at the very start of the new year[5]. In the warmth and comfort of the room, Luo Yan talks about his plan for the future. “I hope we won't have to be separated again，” he says, looking at his ageing parents.“My parents are getting old, and we should spend more time with them. We'll come back more frequently and we're also considering taking them to the city to live with us. After all ， home is where all family members are together[6].”
[5]句中，while eating..., chatting with... and making...是“while＋doing”作状语；that引导定语从句；they will eat...修饰dumplings。
[6]句子home is where all family members are together中，where引导表语从句。
As midnight approaches, Luo Yan takes his parents, wife and son outside to set off firecrackers . The whole village is lit up with colourful fireworks . All over the country, people are celebrating their good fortune , celebrating their family's togetherness, and celebrating their nation's strength[7].
[7]句中 celebrating their good fortune, celebrating their family's togetherness, celebrating their nation's strength为三个并列的现在分词短语。
[汉语译文]
弥足珍贵(precious)的团圆饭
除夕(eve)刚过五点钟，饭桌上已经摆满了白瓷(china)碗碟(plate)——鸡鸭鱼肉(pork)和蔬菜，满满当当的各色(sort)菜肴。29岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子，嗅着母亲和妻子煲的汤所散发出的浓香。他的儿子博峰美滋滋地咬(bite)了一口爷爷给挑(select)好的鸡肉。
六岁的博峰都快一年没见爷爷奶奶了，他满心喜悦和激动。的确，一家人再没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。虽然外面天寒地冻，他们幸福的脸庞却让屋内的空气暖洋洋的，欢声笑语处处可闻。罗言一家三口已经在大城市定居(settle)，离家乡很远。不过，他们每年都回老家过春节，以实现他们“三代同堂”的梦想。
几年前，罗言一家的回乡之旅还是漫长而劳顿的。如今有了高铁，回趟家就方便(convenient)多了。五个小时的旅途，三人兴高采烈地聊着天，心中想的全是甜蜜的家。
刚到家，他们就发现父母早就翘首以待了。家中已经为这个喜庆的场合特别布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐(neat)的剪纸，到门上的春联(couplet)，再到墙上的年画，无不象征(represent)着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。就连盘中的那条鱼也表达了对年年有余的企盼——在汉语中“鱼”“余”谐音——祝愿每年的收获都能多于期望。
年夜饭后到午夜(midnight)前的这几个小时缓慢流淌着。除夕之夜，一家人都要熬夜守岁。他们围坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，一边吃着零食(snack)，聊着天，一边包着新年伊始要吃的饺子。在温暖舒适的房间中，罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望我们不用再分开了，”他看着年迈的父母，“我爸妈年纪大了，我们应该多陪陪他们。我们会回家回得更勤一点，也考虑着把二老接到城里，跟我们一起生活。不管怎么说，一家人在哪，哪就是家。”
午夜将至，罗言带着父母妻儿到屋外放(set off)鞭炮(firecracker)。五颜六色的烟花(firework)把整个村子都照亮了。举国上下，人们都在庆祝自己的好福气(fortune)，庆祝合家团聚，庆祝祖国富强。

A precious① family dinner
It is just past five o'clock on the Chinese New Year's Eve②， and the dinner table is already covered with③ white china④ plates⑤ and bowls, full of all sorts⑥ of dishes: chicken, duck, pork⑦， fish and vegetables. Luo Yan, 29, lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in⑧ the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan's son, Bofeng, happily takes a bite⑨ of the chicken his grandfather has selected⑩ for him[1].
[1]his wife and mother have prepared和 his grandfather has selected for him都是省略了which/that的定语从句 。
Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy and excitement. Indeed, the whole family could not be happier[2] to be together. Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house. Luo Yan and his wife and son have settled ， in the big city, far away from their hometown. Every year, they travel back for the Spring Festival, for their dream of “three generations under the same roof”．
[2]could not be happier是“否定词＋比较级”表达最高级含义。
The Luo family's journey back to their hometown was a long and tiring one just a few years ago. However，the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home[3]. During the five-hour trip, they chatted excitedly with each other, their minds full of thoughts about their sweet home.
[3]句子the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home中，it是形式宾语，真正宾语是后面的不定式短语to go back home。
On their arrival ， they find Luo's parents eagerly waiting for them. Their home has been specially decorated for the joyous occasion. From the neat designs of the papercuttings on the windows, to the Spring Festival couplets on the door, and to[4] the New Year paintings on the wall, everything represents joy, luck and happiness.Even the fish on the plate expresses a hope for nian nian you yu—yu means both “fish” and “plenty” in Chinese—“May you get more than you wish for every year”．
[4]介词短语from... to...，and to...在句中作状语。
After dinner, the hours until midnight go slowly by. The whole family are going to stay up late on the Chinese New Year's Eve. They gather around the television to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while eating snacks ， chatting with each other and making dumplings that they will eat at the very start of the new year[5]. In the warmth and comfort of the room, Luo Yan talks about his plan for the future. “I hope we won't have to be separated again，” he says, looking at his ageing parents.“My parents are getting old, and we should spend more time with them. We'll come back more frequently and we're also considering taking them to the city to live with us. After all ， home is where all family members are together[6].”
[5]句中，while eating..., chatting with... and making...是“while＋doing”作状语；that引导定语从句；they will eat...修饰dumplings。
[6]句子home is where all family members are together中，where引导表语从句。
As midnight approaches, Luo Yan takes his parents, wife and son outside to set off firecrackers . The whole village is lit up with colourful fireworks . All over the country, people are celebrating their good fortune , celebrating their family's togetherness, and celebrating their nation's strength[7].
[7]句中 celebrating their good fortune, celebrating their family's togetherness, celebrating their nation's strength为三个并列的现在分词短语。
[汉语译文]
弥足珍贵(precious)的团圆饭
除夕(eve)刚过五点钟，饭桌上已经摆满了白瓷(china)碗碟(plate)——鸡鸭鱼肉(pork)和蔬菜，满满当当的各色(sort)菜肴。29岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子，嗅着母亲和妻子煲的汤所散发出的浓香。他的儿子博峰美滋滋地咬(bite)了一口爷爷给挑(select)好的鸡肉。
六岁的博峰都快一年没见爷爷奶奶了，他满心喜悦和激动。的确，一家人再没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。虽然外面天寒地冻，他们幸福的脸庞却让屋内的空气暖洋洋的，欢声笑语处处可闻。罗言一家三口已经在大城市定居(settle)，离家乡很远。不过，他们每年都回老家过春节，以实现他们“三代同堂”的梦想。
几年前，罗言一家的回乡之旅还是漫长而劳顿的。如今有了高铁，回趟家就方便(convenient)多了。五个小时的旅途，三人兴高采烈地聊着天，心中想的全是甜蜜的家。
刚到家，他们就发现父母早就翘首以待了。家中已经为这个喜庆的场合特别布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐(neat)的剪纸，到门上的春联(couplet)，再到墙上的年画，无不象征(represent)着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。就连盘中的那条鱼也表达了对年年有余的企盼——在汉语中“鱼”“余”谐音——祝愿每年的收获都能多于期望。
年夜饭后到午夜(midnight)前的这几个小时缓慢流淌着。除夕之夜，一家人都要熬夜守岁。他们围坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，一边吃着零食(snack)，聊着天，一边包着新年伊始要吃的饺子。在温暖舒适的房间中，罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望我们不用再分开了，”他看着年迈的父母，“我爸妈年纪大了，我们应该多陪陪他们。我们会回家回得更勤一点，也考虑着把二老接到城里，跟我们一起生活。不管怎么说，一家人在哪，哪就是家。”
午夜将至，罗言带着父母妻儿到屋外放(set off)鞭炮(firecracker)。五颜六色的烟花(firework)把整个村子都照亮了。举国上下，人们都在庆祝自己的好福气(fortune)，庆祝合家团聚，庆祝祖国富强。

They always have a theme, and they represent the better life or successful future, and some of them include wishes and expectations. Of course, the topic of our motherland is another good choice.
Hope you find my introduction useful.
Yours，

Dear Mike，
In your last letter, you mentioned that you want to know something about the Dragon Boat Festival. I am willing to tell you something about it.
As one of the most important traditional festivals in China, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the May 5th according to Chinese lunar calendar. People celebrate this festival in memory of Qu Yuan, a well－known Chinese poet who made great contributions to our country. On this festival, people in China will hold a variety of activities to honour him, such as dragon boat races and eating zongzi.
I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival.
Yours，
Li Hua
