DIALOGUE
A: Have you heard about the Dragon Boat Races to be held this afternoon?
A:你知道今天下午有龍舟比賽嗎？
?
B: Yes, it is part of a holiday, right?
B:知道啊，是為了慶祝什么節(jié)日對(duì)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，是端午節(jié)，不過(guò)（英文中）通常叫做龍舟節(jié)。它是中國(guó)三大傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日之一。
?
B: Other than the Dragon Boat Races, what’s special about this day?
B:除了龍舟賽，這一天還有什么特別的活動(dòng)嗎？
?
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:在傳統(tǒng)上，這一天一直被視為是驅(qū)兇避邪的日子，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在它的意義已經(jīng)只是提醒家人注意身體健康了。
?
B: Sounds great! I think I’ll join in on the boat competitions.
B:聽起來(lái)不賴！我想我會(huì)去參加龍舟比賽。
?
A: After you’ve worked up an appetite, you can eat Zongzi. Everyone eats them during the Dragon Boat Festival.
A:等你劃船累到肚子餓的時(shí)候，就可以吃粽子。端午節(jié)的時(shí)候大家都會(huì)吃粽子。
?
B: Eating is a really important part of Chinese culture, huh?
B:吃真是中國(guó)文化中很重要的一部分，對(duì)吧？
?
A: Yes, perhaps one of the most important aspects. 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:沒(méi)錯(cuò)，或許是最重要的之一。不過(guò)別擔(dān)心，粽子里面沒(méi)什么特別的東西，只是米飯包著肉或豆沙而已。好吃極了！
