如何给老外介绍清明节 这些英语足够了

用幽默解读英语，用心得品读人生。打油诗开题：清明节日已来到，踏青问祖思今朝。春燕回归带福运，风筝游荡寄口信。今天是我们的清明节，大家应该沉浸在放假的欢乐中吧，不过我们要记得以继承和弘扬中华传统文化为己任，有机会的话给老外介绍介绍清明节：

1、The Qingming or Ching Ming festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day in English is a traditional Chinese festival observed by the Han Chinese.

清明节也称扫墓节，是从汉代就开始被人们庆祝的中国传统节日。

2、It falls on the first day of the fifth solar term of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. This makes it the 15th day after the Spring Equinox, either 4 or 5 April in a given year.

它指中国传统阴阳历第五节气的第一天，也就是春分之后的第十五天，一般是该年的四月四号或者五号。

3、During Qingming, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors, and make ritual offerings. Offerings would typically include traditional food dishes, and the burning of joss sticks and joss paper.

清明节期间，我们会和家人一块祭拜祖先以及扫墓，为祖先祈福以及供奉一些东西。传统上总会包含一些食物、香表以及纸钱。

4、The holiday is associated with the consumption of qingtuan, green dumplings made of glutinous rice and Chinese mugwort or barley grass.

在此期间人们会吃一些糯米青团，也会弄一些艾草和大麦草做成面团来吃。

5、最后以一首节日诗结束今天的文章：

清明时节雨纷纷

During the Festival of Qing Ming drizzling is the rain

路上行人欲断魂

Breaking are the hearts and souls of mourners on the roads, pedestrians in sorrow and pain

借问酒家何处有

Courteously inquiring where the nearest wine houses are located

牧童遥指杏花村

Only a herdsboy waving a finger pointing to a village - the Apricot Flowers Hamlet
