端午节用英语介绍
端午节的英语：the Dragon Boat Festival
端午节（Duanwu Festival/Tuen Ng Festival）是中国传统节日（traditional holiday），也是法定节日（statutory holiday）。中国大陆在2008年将端午节列为法定节日。目前在大陆、香港、澳门与台湾它都是公共假日（public holiday）。在英文中，它的常见名称是龙舟节（Dragon Boat Festival），这是根据（after）节日的一项主要活动来命名的。按照历法精确译法应该是Solar Maximus Festival。指夏至（summer solstice）或北半球（northern hemisphere）一年中最长的一天。
端午节在中国农历的五月初五（the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar），所以也叫重五节（Double Fifth Festival）。主要庆祝活动（celebration）包括吃粽子（zongzi/sticky rice wrap/sticky rice dumpling with red bean filling/sticky rice ball）、喝雄黄酒（realgar wine）与赛（racing）龙舟。粽子用苇叶（reed leaf）或竹叶（bamboo leaf）包裹糯米（sticky rice）制成带棱角（angular）的形状。其它活动还有悬挂（hang）钟馗像（icon of Zhong Kui）、神话中的保护神（mythical guardian figure）、佩戴（wear）香囊（perfumed medicine bag）、悬挂艾蒿（mugwort）与菖蒲（calamus）、画符（writing spell）等。主要目的是驱邪（ward off evil）或祛病（ward off disease）。
世界上普遍认为端午节起源于（originate）于古代中国。中国有很多民间传统（folk tradition）、信仰（belief）或解释说法（explanatory myth）与庆祝这个节日（observance）有关。最常见的是把该节日与周朝（Zhou Dynasty）战国时期（Warring States period）楚王（King of Chu）的学者（scholar）兼大臣（minister）——屈原（Qu Yuan）之死联系在一起。他也是诗人（poet）与政治家（statesman）。因此在民国时期（Republic of China），它也叫诗人节（Poet's Day）。大陆目前叫他‘爱国诗人（patriotic poet）’。
端午节在日本叫Tango no Sekku (端午の節句)。在日本改用公历（Georgoriian calendar）后日期改为五月五日（May 5）。日本也叫Kodomo no Hi，即儿童节（Children's Day）。历史上也叫男孩节（Boy's Day）或旗节（Feast of Banners）。
在朝鲜端午节是法定节日。它也是韩国主要传统节日之一，叫Dano/Surit-nal。
联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）确定韩国端午节活动之一的江陵端午祭（Gangneung Dano Festival ）为人类口头与非物质文化遗产杰作（Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity）。
端午节在越南叫Tet Doan Ngo。

端午节的由来英语
端午节的由来是中国古代一位满腹才华的诗人屈原。
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Qu Yuan.
他爱国爱民受人尊敬，却由于被嫉妒而受到陷害，逐渐被皇帝冷落。
He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.
屈原由于无法得到重用，眼看着自己的国家沦陷，于是投江自尽。
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river.
汨罗江畔的百姓划船在江中寻找他们尊敬爱戴的屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，使屈原避免蛟龙的伤害。
The local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.
尽管他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为直到今天仍然被人们传颂着。
Although they were unable to find Qu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today.
