端午节的英⽂表达

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional lunar

calendar. The exact date varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar. The festival was long marked as a cultural

festival in China, the government, however, did not officially recognize Duanwu as a public holiday until 2008.

The official English name for the holiday, "Dragon Boat Festival," directly translates into two alternative Chine names for

the holiday, Lóngchuánjié and Lóngzhōujié. Among Malaysian, Singaporean people, the festival is also known as the "Fifth

Month Festival," the "Fifth Day Festival," and the "Dumpling Festival." In Indonesian, the festival is known as "Peh Cun",

which is derived from the Hokkien phra（扒船).

“端午节”的英⽂名称表述为：Dragon Boat Festival，因为选取端午节中的核⼼意像—— “龙⾈ (dragon boat)” 作为节⽇的名

字，⼗分形象⽣动，也很好记。再⽐如“中秋节”，很多⽼外都喜欢“Mooncake Festival”的这样的名字，即“⽉饼节”。

端午节的⽇期为中国农历五⽉初五，⽤英⽂表⽰就是：5th day of 5th month in Chine Lunar Calendar， 中国传统节⽇都是

按照“农历”来计算的，⽽“农历”就是按照⽉亮的圆缺周期来制定的，所以被称为“Lunar Calendar”，即“⽉亮的历法”；⽽跟“农

历”相对的“公⽴”是按照太阳的运⾏规律来制定，故被称为“Solar Calendar”，也叫做“the Gregorian calendar”。

端午节的起源

The story best known in modern China holds that the festival commemorates the death of the poet Qu Yuan (c. 340–278 BC)

of the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period of the Zhou Dynasty. A cabinet member of the Chu royal hou,

Qu Yuan rved in high offices.

However, when the king decided to ally with the increasingly powerful state of Qin, Qu was banished for opposing the

alliance and even accud of treason. During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry. Twenty-eight years later, Qin

captured Ying, the Chu capital. In despair, Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himlf in the Miluo River.

It is said that the local people, who admired him, raced out in their boats to save him or at least retrieve his body. This is said

to have been the origin of dragon boat races. When his body could not be found, they dropped balls of sticky rice into the

river so that the fish would eat them instead of Qu Yuan's body. This is said to be the origin of zongzi.

端午节被认为是为了纪念屈原的节⽇，除了屈原之外，部分地区也有纪念伍⼦胥、曹娥等说法。
