「紫皮書」英語六級(jí)漢譯英小短文：清明節(jié)

清明是中國的二十四節(jié)氣之一，每年4月4-6日。節(jié)日過后，溫度將會(huì)上升，降雨量會(huì)增加。這正是春天耕作和播種的好時(shí)節(jié)。但是清明節(jié)不僅是一個(gè)指導(dǎo)農(nóng)活的節(jié)氣，還是一個(gè)紀(jì)念的節(jié)日。每到清明節(jié)，所有的墓地都擠滿了來掃墓和獻(xiàn)祭的人。這一習(xí)俗現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)大大簡化了。稍稍清掃墳?zāi)购?，人們就拿出食物、鮮花和死者最喜愛的東西，然后燒香燒紙幣，在墓碑牌位前鞠躬。

The Qingming Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration. On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.
