求一篇关于端午节的英语文章(向老外介绍端午节)
要求写出端午节的来历和赛龙舟吃米粽的习俗,最好口语化一点,参考文献如下,只会用金山快译的别来丢人.
屈原,是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣.他倡导举贤授能,富国强兵,力主联齐抗秦,遭到贵族子兰等人的强烈反对,屈原遭馋去职,被赶出都城,流放到沅、湘流域.他在流放中,写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等不朽诗篇,独具风貌,影响深远(因而,端午节也称诗人节).公元前278年,秦军攻破楚国京都.屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略,心如刀割,但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国,于五月五日,在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后,抱石投汨罗江身死,以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章.
赛龙舟,是端午节的主要习俗.相传起源于古时楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去,许多人划船追赶拯救.他们争先恐后,追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹.之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之.借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼,以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体.
传说屈原死后,楚国百姓哀痛异常,纷纷涌到汨罗江边去凭吊屈原.渔夫们划起船只,在江上来回打捞他的真身.有位渔夫拿出为屈原准备的饭团、鸡蛋等食物,“扑通、扑通”地丢进江里,说是让鱼龙虾蟹吃饱了,就不会去咬屈大夫的身体了.人们见后纷纷仿效.一位老医师则拿来一坛雄黄酒倒进江里,说是要药晕蛟龙水兽,以免伤害屈大夫.后来为怕饭团为蛟龙所食,人们想出用楝树叶包饭,外缠彩丝,发展成棕子.
以后,在每年的五月初五,就有了龙舟竞渡、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的风俗;以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原

Duanwu Festival (端午节,Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated,in various ways,in other parts of East Asia as well.In the West,it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.
The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear,but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c.340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period.He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government.The local people,knowing him to be a good man,decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body.They also sat on long,narrow paddle boats called dragon boats,and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow.
In the early years of the Chinese Republic,Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," due to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown.
Today,people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.
