二月二龙抬头的英语作文 篇1
Longtaitou Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month of the Chinese calendar.
每年农历的二月初二是中国的传统节日——龙抬头。
The name literally translates to "Dragon Raises Head Day". In the tradition of Chinese culture, the dragon is believed to be the king of all creatures and the ancestor for human being. It is also regarded as the deity in charge of rain, an important factor in ancient agriculture.
龙抬头如果按照字面意思直译成英语就是"Dragon Raises Head Day"。在中国的传统文化中，龙被信奉为万物之王、人类的始祖。另外龙也被认作是古代农业文化的重要元素之一——掌管降雨之神。
Today, its a little less agriculturally-inclined, and ways to celebrate in style include eating pancakes and noodles, and, believe it or not, getting a haircut or an entirely new hairstyle.
如今，龙抬头不再像过去那样和农业息息相关。现在流行的庆祝方式包括吃春饼、吃面条;另外，信不信由你，还可以去理个发或是换个新发型。
In ancient times, people burned incense to chase odors from the home, ensuring spring arrived fragrant and fresh and full of good fortune. Sewing was forbidden, as the needles might bring bad luck by piercing the dragons eye. Spreading plant ashes around jugs was also common, as that would urge the dragon to fill them with rainwater.
古时候，人们会在龙抬头熏香以驱赶家里的味道，以确保春天到来后，家里有着新鲜芳香的空气以及满满的好运。缝纫是被禁止的，因为缝针可能会刺到龙的眼睛从而带来坏运。另一种常见的.习俗是把草木灰洒在水缸旁边，因为人们认为这样可以引龙来布施雨水将其灌满(撒灰引龙)。
So start making pancakes, and book that hair appointment today - youll want to make sure youre ready for Long Tai Tou!
所以说，大家开始制作春饼吧，再预约理个发，证明你已经准备好迎接“龙抬头”的到来!
二月二龙抬头的英语作文 篇2
二月二，龙抬头，剪头发是二月二的一大传统。今天，我就去剪头发了。
On February 2, it is a tradition for dragons to look up and cut their hair. Today, I went to have my hair cut.
我非常讨厌剪头发，因为剪完了我很难看，但妈妈说：“儿子，你今天必须剪头发！”我说：“我就不剪！”
I hate to have my hair cut because I cant see it after it, but my mother said, "son, you have to have your hair cut today!" I said, "I wont cut it!"
妈妈见对我施硬的不行，就施软的，说：“儿子，你一年级时头发更短，也不难看呀！”
When my mother saw that I couldnt do it, she said, "son, when you were in the first grade, your hair was shorter and not ugly!"
妈妈对我软硬兼施，我实在招架不住，只好去剪头。
My mother is hard and soft to me. I cant stand it, so I have to cut my head.
到了理发店，我先洗了头。水从头上落下来，我感觉头发都在流泪。
When I got to the barber shop, I washed my head first. The water fell from my head, and I felt my hair in tears.
过了一会儿，开始剪头了，理发师拿了一把梳子和一把剪刀，先用梳子把头发捋起来，然后用剪刀剪掉，我仿佛听见头发在喊：“救命呀！救命呀！”理发师不停地重复着这个动作，过了一会，理发师放下了手中的两个“恶棍”，我刚想庆幸：终于剪完了！理发师又拿了个电动剃头刀，我暗暗叫苦：怎么还来呀！
After a while, he began to cut his hair. The barber took a comb and a pair of scissors. First, he stroked his hair with the comb, and then cut it off with the scissors. I heard his hair shouting: "help! Help The barber kept repeating this action. After a while, the barber put down the two "villains" in his hand. I just wanted to be glad that I had finished cutting at last! The barber took another electric razor, and I cried in secret: how can I come back!
理发师把电动剃头刀打开，剃头刀嗡嗡地叫着，似乎随时准备来“吃”我的头发。这“破东西”的速度是刚才的好几倍，我的头发就像一群绵羊，而那“破东西”的速度是刚才的好几倍，我的头发任它吃。我想：你这“剃头刀”，无名鼠辈，有啥资格剃我头发？
The barber turned on the electric razor, and the razor hummed, as if ready to "eat" my hair. This "broken thing" is several times faster than before. My hair is like a flock of sheep, and that "broken thing" is several times faster than before. My hair can be eaten by it. I think: you "razor", nameless mouse, what qualification to shave my hair?
过了一会儿，剪完头发了，我一看地上，满是头发，那些头发就像一群残兵败将，让我不忍心看。再一照镜子，啊！这简直太难看了！从今天起，我发了个誓：以后不到万不得已，我再也不剪头发了！
After a while, I cut my hair. When I saw the ground, it was full of hair. Those hair were like a group of defeated soldiers, which I couldnt bear to see. Look in the mirror again, ah! Its just too ugly! From today on, I made an oath: I will never cut my hair again before I have to!
