2、端午节的起源

端午节 The Dragon Boat Festival

这个夏天节日的起源主要是一位名叫屈原的学术政府官员，他也是一位伟大的诗人。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Qu Yuan，and he is also a great poet.

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 patriotic and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor"s court.

屈原由于无法得到皇帝重用，眼看着自己的国家沦陷，于是投如汨罗江自尽。

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, watching his country falling into enemies, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river and killed himself.

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 celebrated today.
