端午节英语口语会话

DIALOGUE
A: Have you heard about the Dragon Boat Races to be held this afternoon?
A: 你知道今天下午有龙舟比赛吗？
B: Yes, it is part of a holiday, right?
B: 知道啊，是为了庆祝什么节日对吧？
A: Yup, Duan Wu Festival, but it’s also just simply called the Dragon
Boat Festival. It’s among the three major traditional holidays
celebrated by Chinese.
A: 是的，是端午节，不过（英文中）通常叫做龙舟节。它是中国三大传统节日
之一。
B: Other than the Dragon Boat Races, what’s special about this day?
B: 除了龙舟赛，这一天还有什么特别的活动吗？
A: Traditionally, it was thought to be a time for warding off evil spirits,
but now it’s just thought of a time to remind family members to take care
of their health.
A: 在传统上，这一天一直被视为是驱凶避邪的日子，不过现在它的意义已经只
是提醒家人注意身体健康了。
B: Sounds great! I think I’ll join in on the boat competitions.
B: 听起来不赖！我想我会去参加龙舟比赛。
A: After you’ve worked up an appetite, you can eat Zongzi. Everyone eats
them during the Dragon Boat Festival.
A: 等你划船累到肚子饿的时候，就可以吃粽子。端午节的时候大家都会吃粽子。
B: Eating is a really important part of Chinese culture, huh?
B: 吃真是中国文化中很重要的一部分，对吧？
A: Yes, perhaps one of the most important aspect. Don’t worry though;
there are no surprises in Zongzi. They are just rice with either meat or
sweet red bean paste wrapped inside. They are quite yummy!
A: 没错，或许是最重要的之一。不过别担心，粽子里面没什么特别的东 西，只
是米饭包着肉或豆沙而已。好吃极了！
