西方节日-英语

西方节日,中国和英语国家的文化差异显著地表现在节日方面。除中国和英语国家共同的节日（如,NewYearsDay）处，双方还各有自己独特的节日。中国有theSpringFestival,theDragonBoatFestival,MidAutumnDay.等，英语国家有”ValentinesDay（情人节），Easter（复活节），AprilfoolsDay（愚人节），ThanksGivingDay（感恩节），ChristmasDay（圣诞节）等。中西方节日的风俗习惯也很不相同。在节日里，对于别人送来的礼物，中国人往往要推辞一番，表现得无可奈何地接受，接受后一般也不当面打开。如果当面打开并喜形于色，可能招致“贪财”的嫌疑。而在英语文化中，人们对别人送的礼品，一般都要当面打开称赞一番，并且欣然道谢。因此，对西方节日的了解显得尤为重要,母亲节Mothersday,ThesecondSundayinMayisMothersday.Mothersdayisaspecialdayforeveryone!Onthatday,childrenusuallygivetheirmotherwithcards,presentsandflowers.Butmostofthepeople,likegivingtheirmotherscarnation（康乃磬）。SomebodysaidGodcouldnotbeeverywhereandhemademother.,情人节ValentinesDay,ValentinesDayisonFebruay14theveryyear.Onthatday,peoplealwaysgivetheirloverssomerosesandchocolate(巧克力）.Today,boysandgirlslooklikesweet.Theygotorestaurantsandhaveabigsupper.Valentinescardsbecomemoreandmorebeautiful,圣诞节ChristmasDay,December25thisChristmasDay.OnChristmasDay,manypeoplewillhavebigparties.Theylikeeatingturkey（火鸡）,fruitsanddrinkingsomejuiceforsupper.Aftersupper,manypeoplewillgooutforshoppingandwalking(walk)withtheirchildren.Therearealotofspecialthings:Christmastrees,socks,Christmascardandsomepresents.SoinChristmasDay,allthefamiliesareveryhappy.,父亲节FathersDay,FathersDayisonthethirdSundayinJune.SomeAmericansthoghtthatifwehadMothersDay,butweshouldalsohaveaFathersDay.OnFathersDay,thereisnotanyparty.Butchildrenwillgivetheirfathersomepresentsandthebestwishes.fatherisgreat,weshouldgivethebestwishesforthem,Halloween,HalloweenisonOctober31st.In(On)thisday,infornt(front)ofhousehas(thereare)alotofpumpkinlights（南瓜灯）.Theyareverybeautiful.everyfamilyhasalotofsweetbecausechildrengotoknock（敲门）theirdoorspeoplewillgivethemsweets（糖）.Andpeoplewillwearfunnyclothes.,愚人节Aprilfoolsday,AprilfoolsdayisonAprilthe1stofeveryear,inmanycountry,peoplealwayshavealittleandverybeautifulparty,theydontmakeupatthatday.peoplealwayssaysomefoolishthings,buttheydontcare,childrenandoldmanalsocanplaythegameintheparty.,复活节Easter,EastercelebratestheresurrectionofJesusChrist.Easterisfrom22ndMarchto25thApril.EasterisanimportantholidayinWestern（西方）countries.Chickensareusuallybornthen.Manychildrenbuychocolate（巧克力）Eastereggs.TheyalsomakeEastereggs.Easteristhetimeofthespringtimefestival(spring).Somepeoplearelikethisholidaybecauseitisinteresting.,感恩节ThanksgivingDay,OneverylastThursdayofNovemberisaspecialday.ItisOn1621.PeoplearecallitThankgivingDay.SomeAmericanthinkThanksgivingDayismoreimportantthan,ChristmasDay,ChristmasDay.Onthatday,allpeoplehavesupperwiththeirfamilytogetherThanksgivingDayinAmericaisatimetooffer提议thanks,offamilygatherings聚集
