有关介绍中元节的英语作文

  Just as Halloween is for Americans, the “Hungry Ghost Festival” is for Chinese. Ghost Festival is one of Chinese traditional occasions, which is taken very seriously by the Chinese. This festival usually falls on the15th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. The Ghost Festival, some places say the Hungry Ghost Festival, is also called Half July (Lunar), Ullambana, which is closely related to Buddhism, and zhongyuan jie which is the Taoism saying and Folk Belief.

  就像万圣节对于美国人一样,中国也有鬼节。鬼节是中国传统节日之一,并且被中国人认真看待。这个节日通常是阴历七月十五。鬼节(有些地方翻译为饿鬼节),又叫七月半,佛教称之为盂兰盆节,中元节是道教的称法,同时也是一种民间说法。

  It is believed by the Chinese that the dead become ghosts roaming between Heaven and Earth unless they have descendants to care for them during the Ghost Festival. During this month, the gates of hell are opened to free the hungry ghosts who then wander to seek food on Earth. Some even think that the ghosts would seek revenge on those who had wronged them in their lives. However, more people remember their ancestors on this day. The Ghost Festival becomes a time for remembering the importance of filial piety. The reason why the Chinese celebrate this festival is to remember their dead family members and pay tribute to them. They also feel that offering food to the deceased appeases them and wards off bad luck. People now release river lights as an important activity during this time, since it is said that river light can comfort and warm the homeless ghosts. In some areas, visitors may also see small roadside fires, where believes burn paper money and other offerings to appease the restless spirits who have temporarily been released from Hades.

  中国人认为除非一个人有子孙后代能够在他死后在鬼节这天悼念他们,否则人死后会变成鬼魂在天地之间游荡。在七月,地狱的大门会打开放出饿鬼,这些饿鬼会在凡间寻找食物。一些人更认为他们会向那些害死他们的人复仇。但是,更多的人在这一天祭奠他们的先人。鬼节成为一个子女对先人尽孝的节日。中国人庆祝这个节日的原因是纪念他们家中死去的成员并且悼念死者。他们相信祭品能安抚死者,消除厄运。放河灯是人们纪念鬼节的重要活动,因为据说河灯能给无家可归的孤魂野鬼以慰藉和温暖。在一些地区,外来者会看见路边一小堆一小堆的火,因为人们相信烧纸钱或其它东西能安抚刚从地狱出来的痛苦幽魂。
