「紫皮書」英語六級漢譯英小短文：端午節(jié)

端午節(jié)，農(nóng)歷五月初五日，已經(jīng)有2000多年的歷史了。賽龍舟在全國各地都舉行，是這個節(jié)日不可缺少的一部分。當(dāng)發(fā)號槍一響，人們就會看到在龍形的獨木舟上，選手們和諧而急速地劃槳，伴隨著急促的鼓聲，快速朝著目的地劃去。據(jù)民間故事傳說，這一比賽起源于尋找屈原的遺體的活動?，F(xiàn)在賽龍舟已經(jīng)發(fā)展成為一個水上運動項目，這是中國的傳統(tǒng)與現(xiàn)代體育精神相結(jié)合的特征。1980年，賽龍舟被列入國家體育競賽項目，每年都舉辦，該獎項被稱為"屈原杯"。

The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has had a history of more than 2,000 years. Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination. Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan's body. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup".
