清明节介绍英语【篇一：清明节的英语介绍】清明节的传统thetraditionofchingmingfestival每年的清明定在二十四节气的春分后的第十五天，清明节是子孙们去扫墓祭祖的节日，人们会带祭品前往祭祖，同时打扫和清理墓啤。今年(2008)的清明节是公历4月4日。清明上河图清明节的传统ancestorworshipisachinesetraditiondatingbackthousandsofyears.中国祭祀祖先的传统已有数千年之久。alsoknownasthegrave-sweepingorspringremembrance,chingming(clearandbright),iswhenchinesefamiliesshowtheirrespectbyvisitingthegravesoftheirancestorstoclearawayweeds,touchupgravestoneinscriptionsandmakeofferingsofwineandfruit.清明时，中国阖家前往祭拜祖先，同时把祖坟修饰一下，把杂草清除。然后准备一些、酒和水果作为对祖先的祭品。清明节的翻译“清明”依音译为“chingming,但“节”则依意译为festival，合起来便是chingmingfestival,是音译和意译的混合物。此外，我们再学习几个中国传统节日的英译：“春节”在英文上叫做chinesenewyearsday,是意译，字面的意思就是“中国人的新年”；或springfestival，即“春天的节日”；或chineselunarnewyear，即“中国农历新年”“端午节”的译法和“清明节”一样，“端午”译为duanwu,节是festival。不过，许多人也喜欢称之为dragonboatfestival，意为“龙舟节”。“中秋节”逐字意译为mid-autumnfestival,有时则在前边加上chinese。亦有人称之为moonfestival的。“重阳节”也和“清明节”、“端午节”一般译法，称为chungyeungfestival。由于我们有时也把“重阳”称为“重九”，所以有些英国人也把我们的这一个节日叫做“double-ninthday,”不过还是前者较多用。扩充阅读一：chinesechingmingfestivalachineseholiday,celebratedonapril4th,isthechingmingfestival(qingmingfestival).ching,inchinese,meanspureorcleanandmingmeansbrightness.mostpeoplecallthisholidaygrave-sweepingdaybecausepeopleheadtothecemeterytocleangraves.therearemanychingmingrituals[仪式]whichincludepullingoutweedsaroundtheheadstone,cleaningthestoneandreplacingwiltedordeadflowerswithfreshones.peoplealsoburnincense[薰香]andpapermoney.thepapermoneyisforthedeceasedtouseintheafterlife.youllevenseefoodarrangedonheadstones,butitsnotapicnic.thefoodisanofferingtothespirits.threesetsofchopsticks[筷子]andthreechinesewinecupsarealsoplacedabovethefood,closetotheheadstone.otherritualsincludefamily【篇二：清明节英文介绍】清明节英文介绍awell-knownpoembytangdynastywriterdumutellsofasadsceneinearlyapril:rainsfallheavilyasqingmingcomes,andpassers-bywithloweredspiritsgo.qingmingday,thetraditionaltomb-sweepingday,fallsonapril4-6eachyear.itisatimeforrememberinglovedoneswhohavedeparted.peoplevisittheirancestorsgravestosweepawaythedirt.唐朝著名诗人杜牧有一首著名的诗，描述了四月初令人伤感的一幕场景：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”每年4月4-6日左右的清明节是传统的扫墓的日子。在这一天，人们祭吊去世的亲人，到先人的坟头上扫墓。itsorigindatesbacktothespringandautumnperiod.jinprincechongerranawayfromthecountrywithhissupportersduetopersecution.theywerehomelessfor19yearsandthingsgotsobadthatchongerbegantostarvetodeath.oneoftheprincesfaithfulfollowers,jiezitui,cutapieceofmusclefromhisownlegandservedittohismaster.chongerwassavedand,in636bc,hetookbackthethrone.清明节可以追溯到春秋时代。晋国公子重耳因受到迫害，率其支持者出逃。19年间，他们居无定所，漂泊四方。一次，他们的处境相当窘迫，重耳饿得快不行了。这时，忠心耿耿的介子推从自己的腿上割下一块肉献给了重耳，公子重耳得救了。公元前636年，他夺回了王位。herewardedtheofficialswhohadstayedloyaltohimbutheforgotaboutjiezitui.bythetimechongerrememberedhim,aheartbrokenjiezituihadtraveleddeepintothemountains.chongerwantedtopersuadejietocomehome,sohehadthehillssetonfire.butjiewaslaterfoundbesidealargetree,withhisoldmotheronhisback.bothweredead.即位之后，重耳对支持者大加封赏，却忘记了介子退。等到想起这位忠臣时，伤心的介子推早已遁入山林深处。重耳想逼他回来，所以就大火焚山。后来，在一棵大树旁边发现了背着老母的介子推。两人都被烧死了。saddenedbythetragedy,chongerorderedthatfirescouldnotbelitonthedayofjiezituisdeath.fromthiscomeshanshiday,orcoldfoodday.peoplevisitedjiezituistombthenextdaytopaytheirrespects.overtime,hanshidaywasreplacedwithtomb-sweepingday.重耳悲痛欲绝。他下令，在介子推的忌日不准生火。寒食节即来源于此。寒食节的次日，人们到介子推的坟头上致敬。随着时间的推移，寒食thecustomoftheqingmingfestivalisrichinteresting,inadditiontopayattentiontothefire,thegrave,andouting,swing,agamecalledcuju,playpolo,insertedliuandsoonaseriesofcustomssportsactivities.thisisbecausetomb-sweepingdaytopeoplefromthefire,inordertopreventacoldbuffetinjurybody,soeveryonetotakepartinsomeofthesportsactivities,andtoexercise.清明节的习俗是丰富有趣的，除了讲究禁火、扫墓，还有踏青、荡秋千、蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。相传这是因为清明节要寒食禁火，为了防止寒食冷餐伤身，所以大家来参加一些体育活动，以锻炼身体。【篇三：清明节的由来(中英文双语介绍)】主题：清明节的由来(中英文双语介绍)收藏本贴|好友分享|推广拿分点击:2429|回复:23|标签:文化阅读清明节（tomb-sweepingday）1、qingmingjie（allsoulsday）qingmingisatimetorememberthedeadandthedearlydeparted.moreimnt,itisaperiodtohonourandtopayrespecttoonesdeceasedancestorsanilymembers.becauseitreinforcestheethicoffilialpiety,qingmingisamajornesefestival.literallymeaningclear(qing)andbright(ming),thischinesefestivalfallsrlyspring,onthe106thdayafterthewintersolstice.itisaspringfestival,ansanoccasionforthewholefamilytoleavethehomeandtosweepthegravesheirforebears.chinesebeingpracticalpeoplethissweepingofthegravesisginextendedperiod,thatis,10daysbeforeandafterqingmingday.amongsoalectgroupsawholemonthisallocated.清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦行孝的具体表现；基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。清明节是在仲春和之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域士的扫墓活动长达一个月。origin（起源）qingmingispopularlyassociatedwithjiezizhui,wholivedinshanxiprovin600b.c.legendhasitthatjiesavedhisstarvinglordslifebyservingapifhisownleg.whenthelordsucceededinbecomingtherulerofasmallprinciy,heinvitedhisfaithfulfollowertojoinhim.however,jiedeclinedhisinvitationerringtoleadahermitslifewithhismotherinthemountains.believingthathecouldforcejieoutbyburningthemountain,thelordordersmentosettheforestonfire.tohisconsternation,jiechosetoremainwherwasandwasburnttodeath.tocommemoratejie,thelordorderedallfiresinyhometobeputoutontheanniversaryofjiesdeath.thusbeganthecoldfeast,adaywh
