汉字 #

端午节快到了。星期六早上，小明和妹妹丽丽看见妈妈在厨房准备东西。桌子上有很多绿色的叶子、白白的米和红红的枣。小明问：“妈妈，您在做什么？”妈妈笑着说：“我在准备包粽子。端午节我们吃粽子，你们想一起包吗？”丽丽高兴地跳起来：“太好了！我想学！”小明也说：“我也要包！”

于是，妈妈教他们怎么包粽子。先把两片叶子放在手里，再放一些米和一颗枣，然后把叶子包起来，用线绑好。小明第一次包得不好看，丽丽说：“哥哥，你的粽子像一个小球！”小明笑着说：“没关系，我会再试一次。”他们一边包粽子，一边聊天。

这时候，爸爸走过来，坐在旁边。丽丽问：“爸爸，为什么端午节要吃粽子呢？”小明也说：“对，我们想知道。”爸爸说：“好，我给你们讲一个故事。这个故事是关于一位叫屈原的人。”

爸爸开始讲：“很久以前，在中国古代的楚国，有一位爱国诗人叫屈原。他非常爱他的国家，但是国王不听他的话，他很难过。最后，他在五月初五这一天跳进了汨罗江。人们很爱他，就划船去找他，还往江里扔米团，希望鱼不要吃他的身体。后来，这就变成了赛龙舟和吃粽子的传统。”

小明和丽丽认真地听完了故事。丽丽说：“屈原真是一个伟大的人。”小明说：“所以，我们包粽子是为了纪念他。”妈妈说：“是的，这是我们的文化，很重要。”

粽子包好了，妈妈把它们放进锅里煮。一个小时后，粽子熟了。一家人坐在一起吃粽子。小明吃了一口，笑着说：“自己包的粽子真好吃！”丽丽也说：“明年我还要包！”

一家人都很开心。

English Translation #

The Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon. On Saturday morning, Xiaoming and his little sister Lili saw their mom preparing things in the kitchen. On the table, there were many green leaves, white rice, and red dates. Xiaoming asked, “Mom, what are you doing?” Mom smiled and said, “I’m getting ready to make zongzi. We eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you want to make them together?” Lili jumped up happily, “Great! I want to learn!” Xiaoming also said, “I want to make them too!”

So, Mom taught them how to wrap zongzi. First, put two leaves in your hand, then add some rice and one date, then fold the leaves up and tie them tightly with string. Xiaoming’s first one didn’t look very nice. Lili said, “Brother, your zongzi looks like a little ball!” Xiaoming smiled, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll try again.” They chatted while they wrapped the zongzi.

Just then, Dad came over and sat nearby. Lili asked, “Dad, why do we eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival?” Xiaoming added, “Yes, we want to know.” Dad said, “Okay, I’ll tell you a story. This story is about a person named Qu Yuan.”

Dad began, “A long time ago, in the ancient Chinese state of Chu, there was a patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. He loved his country very much, but the king didn’t listen to his advice, and he was very sad. In the end, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he jumped into the Miluo River. The people loved him, so they rowed boats to search for him and threw rice balls into the river, hoping the fish wouldn’t eat his body. Later, this became the tradition of dragon boat racing and eating zongzi.”

Xiaoming and Lili listened carefully to the end of the story. Lili said, “Qu Yuan was truly a great man.” Xiaoming said, “So, we make zongzi to commemorate him.” Mom said, “That’s right, this is our culture, and it’s very important.”

The zongzi were all wrapped. Mom put them into a pot to boil. An hour later, the zongzi were cooked. The whole family sat together and ate them. Xiaoming took a bite and said with a smile, “Zongzi you’ve made yourself are really delicious!” Lili also said, “Next year I want to make them again!”

The whole family was very happy.
