　　关于春节的英语作文2

　　It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

　　Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

　　“They're starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

　　Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the children's excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

　　I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

　　And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

　　This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

　　那是春节前夕。

　　当我吃完最后一点米饭，放下筷子的时候，天已经很晚了。

　　“没有,他们开始!”;我的朋友兴奋地叫道。“没有,快!快!”;

　　外面，到处都是孩子。他们的快乐的声音和面容让我在内心感到温暖，尽管冷风迎面吹来。我的朋友把一捆稻草塞在我手里。“没有,来了!”;他哭了。当我跑着追赶他时，我咯咯地笑了。孩子们的兴奋之情甚至蔓延到了像我们这样的大孩子身上。

　　我很快就加入了一群孩子和十几岁的少年，他们正在一条穿过麦田的小路中间燃起篝火。我的朋友说，递给我一根长竹竿。把你的一些稻草放在火里。然后把剩下的绑在你的杆上，像这样。他用自己的材料证明了这一点，我也以他为榜样。然后他把我们的火把刺进火里，把我的火把交给我。“没有,现在跑!”;

　　我跑了——我们都跑了。在我所能看到的方圆数英里的地方，到处都是小小的橙色斑点，我能听到远处传来的尖叫声和其他孩子在稻田小路上奔跑的笑声。在深夜的几个小时里，我帮忙生火，照看年幼的孩子。偶尔，我也会点燃一支火炬，像个疯子一样跑来跑去，尖叫着挥舞着燃烧着的竹竿。

　　这个节日发生在春节前的6天，是春节期间我的朋友们的一次经历。正如我所解释的，这个节日的目的是为了让孩子们在收获后尽情地燃烧所有的稻草。后来，火山灰被用作肥料。
