清明节介绍英语【篇一：清明节的英语介绍】清明节的传统the tradition of ching ming festival 每年的清明定在二十四节气的春分后的第十五天，清明节是子孙们去扫墓祭祖的节日，人们会带祭品前往祭祖，同时打扫和清理墓啤。
今年(2008)的清明节是公历4月4日。
清明上河图清明节的传统ancestor worship is a chinese tradition dating back thousands of years. 中国祭祀祖先的传统已有数千年之久。
also known as the grave-sweeping or spring remembrance, ching ming (clear and bright), is when chinese families show their respect by visiting the graves of their ancestors to clear away weeds, touch up gravestone inscriptions and make offerings of wine and fruit.清明时，中国阖家前往祭拜祖先，同时把祖坟修饰一下，把杂草清除。
然后准备一些、酒和水果作为对祖先的祭品。
清明节的翻译“清明”依音译为“ching ming, 但“节”则依意译为festival，合起来便是ching ming festival, 是音译和意译的混合物。
此外，我们再学习几个中国传统节日的英译：“春节”在英文上叫做chinese new years day, 是意译，字面的意思就是“中国人的新年”；或spring festival，即“春天的节日”；或chinese lunar new year，即“中国农历新年”“端午节”的译法和“清明节”一样，“端午”译为duan wu, 节是festival。
不过，许多人也喜欢称之为dragon boat festival，意为“龙舟节”。
“中秋节”逐字意译为mid-autumn festival,有时则在前边加上chinese。
亦有人称之为moon festival的。
“重阳节”也和“清明节”、“端午节”一般译法，称为chung yeung festival。
由于我们有时也把“重阳”称为“重九”，所以有些英国人也把我们的这一个节日叫做“double-ninth day,”不过还是前者较多用。

公元前636年，他夺回了王位。

等到想起这位忠臣时，伤心的介子推早已遁入山林深处。
重耳想逼他回来，所以就大火焚山。
后来，在一棵大树旁边发现了背着老母的介子推。
两人都被烧死了。
