The Dragonboat Festival(龙舟节）
The Dragonboat Festival takes place on the fifth day of lunar[lju:nE] month,usually around the summar solstice.It probably started as a festival to celebrate the planting of the rice crop and to pray for a good rainfall.Long ago,people believed that dragons controlled rivers and rain.They put offerings in the rivers so that the dragons would bring rain for crops.
The highlight of the festival today is the dragonboat race.dragonboats are long,narrow boats with a carved dragon's head at one end and a tail at the other.Up to 80 rovers paddle together.A coxswain sits in the front of the boat and shouts directions and sets the pace for the rowers using a large drum.The races are very noisy and exciting.Teams try to trick each other into making a wrong move.Teams often come to blows with each other.
译文：
农历五月初五是中国传统节日龙舟节,大致在夏至前后.这个节日很可能起源于人们庆祝水稻的种植和祈求降雨.以前,人们都相信龙控制着河流和降雨.他们把祭品放进河里,以求龙为他们的庄稼降下甘霖.
现在,这个节日中最精彩的节目就是赛龙舟了.龙舟又细又长,一头有一个精雕细凿的龙头,另一头是龙尾.一条船能由80个水手来划.船长坐在船头指挥方向,并击打大鼓来控制划船的节奏.龙舟赛总是喊声震天,激动人心.比赛团队都试图诱使对方偏离航向.队伍之间还常常打斗起来.
