1.新年 New Year’s Day (1月1日)
在元旦这一天,人们辞旧迎新(to see the old year out and the new year in)。英国:新年前夜,英国人要在家里放上酒瓶,在橱柜里放上肉。如果没有剩下的酒肉,他们认为来年就会贫穷。此外,英国也流行新年“打井水”的习俗,人们争先恐后地去打水,以为打水第一人就是幸福之人,打水就是吉水。
Happy New Year .Happy New Year to you.
Wish a happy New Year. Thank you, the same to you.恭喜发财,身体健康,万事如意。
在西方国家,尽管圣诞节才是最大的节日,新年在人们心目中仍占有不可替代的重要地位。除夕之夜 (New Year's Eve)晚会是庆祝新年到来必不可少的活动。西方各国的人们都喜欢在欢快的乐曲和绚丽的光彩中喜气洋洋地度过一年的最后一个夜晚。此时,化装晚会(a costume party, a fancy dress party or ball,)特别受欢迎。来宾们把尊严和谨慎藏在面具之后,打扮得稀奇古怪。大家无拘无束、尽情玩乐,与平日的行为大相径庭。在英美两国,午夜钟声一响,参加晚会的人们还要手拉手高唱<< Auld Lang Syne友谊地久天长>>这首著名的苏格兰民歌。
When I asked her where she was going, she said to a New Year's Eve costume party.───当我问她去哪的时候,她说去参加除夕化妆晚会。

2.情人节 Valentine’s Day (2月14日)
Valentine's Day 又称为 St. Valentine's Day。公元3世纪,罗马帝国皇帝克劳迪乌斯二世在首都罗马宣布废弃所有的婚姻承诺,当时是出于战争的考虑,使更多无所牵挂的男人可以走上争战的疆场。一名叫瓦仑廷(Sanctus Valentinus)的神父没有遵照这个旨意而继续为相爱的年轻人举行教堂婚礼。事情被告发后,瓦仑廷神父先是被鞭打,然后被石头掷打,最后在公元270年2月14日这天被送上了绞架被绞死。为纪念 Valentine 的勇敢精神,人们将每年的2月14日定为 Valentine的纪念日〈St. Valentine's Day〉,因此成了后来的「情人节」。另外,据记载,教宗在公元496年废除牧神节,把2月14日定为圣瓦伦丁日,即是St.Valentine's Day,後来成为是西方的节日之一。如今已经成为全世界著名的浪漫节日,但是不同国家的人们表达爱意的方式却各不相同。情人节是一个关于爱、浪漫以及花、巧克力、贺卡的节日,男女在这一天互送礼物用以表达爱意或友好。情人节的晚餐约会通常代表了情侣关系的发展关键。情人节现已成为欧美各国青年人喜爱的节日,其他国家也已开始流行,近年来在中国年青人中已盛行。中国将传统节日七夕节视作情人节。由于能表达共同的人类情怀,各国各地纷纷发掘了自身的“情人节”。

We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each other’s minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met.”
“我们渐渐变老,也早已习惯了彼此。我们想法一致、灵魂互通。无需询问我们便知道对方想要什么。偶尔我们也会惹对方不高兴,但那或许是因为我们真正把对方视作了理所当然的伴侣。有时候比如今天,我沉思之后意识到,能够与你这样一个我所见过的最伟大的女人共度余生,我是多么的幸运。”
get used to:习惯于…;
read one’s minds:读懂某人的心思;
irritate:vt. 惹怒;
take…for granted:认为……是理所当然的;
meditate on:沉思……

“自从离开你之后,我一直感到很抑郁。我的快乐是与你相随的。只有不停地回忆你的抚摸、你的泪水,你亲切的关怀,我才得以活下去。亲爱的约瑟芬啊,你用你那无与伦比的魅力燃起我心中炙热的火苗。”
理查德·伯顿于1964年写给伊丽莎白·泰勒的情书选段:
“My blind eyes are desperately waiting for the sight of you. You don't realize of course, how fascinatingly beautiful you have always been, and how strangely you have acquired an added and special and dangerous loveliness.”
“我那被遮住的双眼只期待与你的眼神相会。你可能不知道自己有多么的美丽迷人,你的可爱如此独特与危险,这真是令人惊奇。”

“Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, Be calm-love me-today-yesterday-what tearful longings for you-you-you-my life-my all-farewell. Oh, continue to love me-never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.”

3.复活节 Easter (3月21日—4月25日之间,无固定日期,时间为每年过春分月圆后的第一个星期天) 因春分过后日长夜短,象征光明胜过黑暗;月圆之夜就意指光明在黑夜之中照耀;而星期日则为犹太人历法中一周的第一天,就是《圣经》纪载耶稣复活的那天,代表新创造的开始,故当日对基督教而言别具意义。复活节彩蛋
节日期间,人们按照传统习俗把鸡蛋煮熟后涂上红色,代表天鹅泣血,也表示生命女神降生后的快乐。大人孩子三五成群地聚在一处,用彩蛋作游戏,他们把彩蛋放在地上或土坡上滚,谁的鸡蛋能在碰撞之后完好无损,那么,谁就赢了。或者最后破裂者即为获胜,胜利者可以得到所有游戏者的彩蛋。该活动非常流行,美国白宫也会在复活节期间组织这种游戏。人们相信,彩蛋在地上来回滚动可以使恶魔不断惊颤、倍受煎熬。。按照习俗,孩子们会在复活节星期日那天提着小篮子去找大人们藏在花园里的彩蛋。长久以来,蛋一直是生命的象征,也象征着耶稣死而复活。绘制彩蛋,赠送和食用,在基督教早期就已经是普遍的习俗。复活节还有骑行、散步、点蜡烛、焰火会、取圣水或洗澡、羔羊蛋糕。

Dear Mum,
Such is sons’ nature; I really do not know how to express my thanks to you.
However, I can imagine, on the day 18 years ago, when you gave birth to me, what a complex feeling you had.
In the past few years, every day you struggle me up in the morning and prepare breakfast for me, then in the afternoon, you always welcome your only son with delicious foods after a day’s hard work.
Now your son has been 18 and will go to university soon, like a bird is leaving its parents. Nevertheless, your footprints on my heart will never ever fade and I love you mum!
your son
亲爱的妈妈:
这就是儿子的天性:不知道如何表达对你的感谢。
然而,我可以想象,在18年前的那一天,当你生下我的时候,你有多么复杂的感觉。
在过去的几年里,每天早上你都会挣扎着起床为我准备早餐,然后在下午,在一天的辛苦工作后,你总是用美味的食物迎接你唯一的儿子。
现在你的儿子已经18岁了,马上就要上大学了,就像小鸟离开父母一样。尽管如此,您的足迹留在我的心里永远不会消失,我爱你妈妈!
母亲节快乐!Happy Mother's Day!
In the U.S. Mothers' Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and by Anna Jarvis in 1907.在美国,人们在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。在这一天,孩子们把卡片,礼物和鲜花献给他们的母亲。第一次庆祝母亲节是发生在1907 年的费城,是由朱莉娅·瓦德·豪和安妮塔·贾威斯分别在 1872 年和 1907 年提议设立的。Although it wasn't celebrated in the U.S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the Mother of the gods that was given honor.虽然美国直到 1907 年才庆祝母亲节,但是尊敬母亲的节日甚至可以追溯到古希腊。尽管那时人们是庆祝上帝的母亲罗伊的。Later, in the 1600's, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday." It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.后来, 在17世纪初的英格兰,人们有一个惯例,就是在每年六月的第四个星期天庆祝“省亲节”。在省亲节那一天, 通常与雇主住在一起的仆人了, 被劝说回家和他们的母亲团聚。按照惯例,他们要带一块特殊的蛋糕回家庆祝。In the U.S., in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. The next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.在美国, 1907年有一个来自费城的叫阿纳·贾维斯的人,发起了一场建立全国的母亲节的运动。在西弗吉尼亚的格拉夫顿,贾维斯说服了她母亲的教堂,在她母亲去世2 周年的纪念日那一天庆祝母亲节,即五月的第二个星期天。下一年费城也庆祝了母亲节。Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.贾维斯和其它人开始给部长,商人,以及政治家们写信,要求建立全国性的母亲节。他们取得了成功。1914年在任的伍德罗·威尔森总统,向全国发布官方通告,宣布在每年五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节,并使之成为一种传统。Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U.S.世界上许多其它国家在全年的不同时间庆祝他们自己的母亲节。丹麦,芬兰,意大利,土耳其,澳大利亚,以及比利时同美国一样,在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。

There are various ways to celebrate the festival, most of which are related to gift giving, family dinner or activities.
在父亲节这天,人们选择特定的鲜花来表达对父亲的敬意和思念,人们采纳了多德夫人的建议,佩戴红玫瑰向健在的父亲表示爱戴,佩戴白玫瑰则表达对亡父的悼念,这种习俗一直流传至今,起初父亲节的日期各不相同,且有的地方用蒲公英作为父亲节的象征,有的地方则用衬有一片绿叶的白丁香向父亲表示敬意。On father's day, people choose specific flowers to express their respect and yearning for their father. People take Mrs. Dodd's advice to wear red roses to show their love to their father who is still alive, while wearing white roses to express their mourning for their dead father. This custom has been handed down to this day. At the beginning of father's day, the dates are different, and some places use dandelion as a symbol of father's day, In some places, white cloves lined with green leaves are used to pay homage to my father.
父亲节在中国的庆祝方式:
与国外人们庆祝父亲节的方式不同,我国人们庆祝父亲节的形式多种多样。人们用不同的方式表达着对父亲的感激之情。做拿手菜、旅游、送礼物;用照片表达父女感情;拍摄和父亲小视频等等。Different from the way people celebrate father's day in foreign countries, there are many ways to celebrate father's day in China.
