An unforgettable festival
I would like to talk about an unforgettable festival——National Day.
National Day is a public holiday in China. It's on 1st October. People have celebrated the festival since 1949. During National Day, there are flowers and national flags everywhere. And we have a seven-day holiday. I am so happy because I can go with my parents to visit my friends as soon as the holiday begins. What's more, my family usually have a picnic in the park. We have great fun together.
I love National Day and I'm so proud of my country.
我想谈谈一个令人难忘的节日——国庆节。
国庆节是中国的一个公共假日。它是在十月一日。人们自从1949年就开始庆祝国庆节了。在国庆节期间,到处都有鲜花和国旗。而且我们还有七天假期。我很开心因为假期一开始,我就可以和我的父母去看望朋友们。此外,家人们通常也会在公园里野餐。我们在一起玩得很开心。
我爱国庆节。同时也为我的国家感到骄傲。
1. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends.
这是一个和家人、朋友共进特别晚餐的时刻。
【辨析】 among与between
between 在...之间 表示在两者之间或每两者之间 between... and...
among 在...之中 表示在三者或三者以上的人或物之中
The teacher is standing among the students.
老师站在学生们中间。
The park lies between the station and the supermarket.
公园坐落于车站和超市中间。
2. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
人们作简短的致辞,为食物而感恩。
(1) make a speech / make speeches意为“作演讲;演说” 。
Daming is afraid to make speeches in front of the class.
大明不敢在同学们面前演讲。
(2) give thanks (to sb.) for (doing) sth. 对(某人)(做了)某事表示感谢
此处thank作名词。
He gave thanks to us for helping him.
他对我们的帮助表示感谢。
3. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow
corn. 当地人,也就是美洲印第安人,教这些拓荒者如何种植玉米。
how to grow corn是“疑问词+动词不定式”结构,在句中作宾语。
动词 know, teach, tell, show, decide等动词之后常接该结构作宾语。
Can you show me how to use the camera
你能教教我如何使用这部相机吗?
They haven’t decided what to do next.
他们还没有决定下一步做什么。
4. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and
enjoy ourselves very much.
像许多美国人一样,我们通常在电视上观看这些比赛,尽享乐趣。
enjoy oneself 意为“玩得开心”,相当于have a good time或have fun。反身代词在人称数上要与enjoy的逻辑主语保持一致。
He enjoyed himself while he was staying in Guilin with his family.
在与家人一起待在桂林时,他玩得很高兴。
