WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range of origins,such as the seasons of the year,religions, famous figures, and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world,the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
我们为什么庆祝节日
全世界都在庆祝各种节日。它们的由来多种多样,例如时节、宗教、著名人物及重大事件。每个节日都有其不同的习俗和独特的吸引力。然而,在全世界所有的节日中,无论它们看起来多么不同,共享喜悦、感恩、爱或者和平的精神都是一致的。
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in(1).People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food(2).In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music,dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries,people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China,families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
在所有的传统节日中,庆祝收获的节日几乎在每种文化中都能找到。这一重要的农耕节日(一般)会在所有农作物收割完毕后举行。人们举行庆祝活动是为了表明他们对(土地)供应一年食物的感激。在古埃及,收获的节日通常在春季举行,春季是埃及人的收获季节。它的庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席,载歌载舞,并伴有体育活动。如今,在一些欧洲国家,人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政大厅,然后聚在一起,一边吃饭一边庆祝。在中国,中秋节期间家庭成员团聚在一起,共赏明月,品尝美味的月饼。
(1)after引导时间状语从句。
(2)that引导宾语从句。
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays,many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween,which slowly became an exciting festival for children(3), in spite of its religious origins.
习俗在节日中起着重要的作用,但是有时它们也会随着时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播,有些传统可能会逐渐消失,而另外一些传统则可能得以建立。为了驱逐恶灵和庆祝新年,中国人在春节燃放鞭炮的习俗就是一个典型的例子。如今,为了避免空气污染,很多大城市已经放弃了这个习俗。另一个例子是万圣节,尽管它起源于宗教,但它慢慢地变成了一个让孩子们很兴奋的节日。
(3)which引导非限制性定语从句。
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones(4).Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised(5), others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life.They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate(6). And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all(7).
由于商家利用这些庆祝活动(获利),节日正变得越来越商业化。网上购物的网站和社交媒体的应用软件让公众更容易花更多的钱为所爱的人买礼物。虽然有些人认为节日不应该被商业化,但另一些人认为消费的增加对经济的发展和公众的幸福都是有好处的。
节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。它们反映了人们的愿望、信念、信仰和对生活的态度。它们是让我们放松下来、享受生活和暂时忘记工作的时刻。它们帮助我们了解我们从哪里来、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。如果你仔细研究各种节日,你也许会惊讶地发现:不同的文化之间实际上有许多共同之处。
(4)it作形式宾语,后面的动词不定式to spend...为真正的宾语。
(5)although引导让步状语从句。
(6)where和who都引导宾语从句,它们和and后的“疑问词+动词不定式”结构一起作understand的宾语。
(7)if引导条件状语从句;to find...为动词不定式作原因状语,其中含有一个由that引导的宾语从句。
