Here is an interesting legend. In 340 BC, patriotic poets, Qu Yuan, a doctor of the state of Chu, faced with the pain of national subjugation, threw himself into the Miluo River with a big stone in his arms on May 5.
译文:
这里有一段有趣的传说.公元前340年,爱国诗人、楚国大夫屈原,面临亡国之痛,于五月五日,悲愤地怀抱大石投汩罗江,为了不使鱼虾损伤他的躯体,人们纷纷用竹筒装米投入江中.以后,为了表示对屈原的崇敬和怀念,每到这一天,人们便用竹筒装米,投江祭奠,这就是我国最早的粽子——“筒粽”的由来.
(1)爱情风俗
“只要一部电影是在巴黎拍的,那么,一定有相应的爱情故事。”的确,如果要选出一个全球最浪漫的城市,一定非巴黎莫属。在这种情况下,对法国人来说,2月14日的情人节就显得没那么重要了,因为在他们眼里,每天都是情人节。
尽管如此,商家们还是会挖空心思,想用这个特殊的日子大赚一笔。内衣厂商、香水厂商都提前推出了情人节系列产品。“我们的女士内衣卖得好极了,销售额比上星期涨了40%。”巴黎一家内衣店的老板告诉记者。情人节前夕,法国红玫瑰则涨到了10欧元一支;近年来,每到情人节,兰花的生意也出奇得好,销量能增加50倍,其中尤以荷兰、比利时和丹麦培育的一种新品种最受欢迎。
情人节邮票更是风靡整个法国。法国邮政从1990年开始,就推出了情人节心形邮票,开始了一系列的邮票营销计划。而今,法国时尚品牌成为了情人节邮票的主角,香奈尔、卡夏尔等品牌相继上了邮票。
根据一项民意调查显示,98%的法国人知道情人节,但真正过这个节的大多是25—34岁的年轻人,他们会在这一天交换礼物。“当然,如果我的丈夫忘记这个日子,我也不会介意。因为我们可以在一年中任何一天来庆祝我们的爱情。”32岁的奥德马丽说。
大部分法国人认为,如果一个人在一年的365天里都不知道如何照顾关心自己的恋人,那所有的巧克力和鲜花表达的更多是内疚,而非爱。当然,法国人的这一理念给商家们带来了很大危机。
(2)服饰礼仪
法国人对于衣饰的讲究,在世界上是最为有名的。所谓“巴黎式样”,在世人耳中即与时尚、流行含意相同。
在正式场合:法国人通常要穿西装、套裙或连衣裙,颜色多为蓝色、灰色或黑色,质地则多为纯毛。
出席庆典仪式时:一般要穿礼服。男士所穿的多为配以蝴蝶结的的燕尾服,或是黑色西装套装;女士所穿的则多为连衣裙式的单色大礼服或小礼服。
对于穿着打扮,法国人认为重在搭配是否得法。在选择发型、手袋、帽子、鞋子、手表、眼镜时,都十分强调要使之与自己着装相协调相一致。
(3)餐饮习惯
作为举世皆知的世界三大烹饪王国之一,法国人十分讲究饮食。在西餐之中,法国菜可以说是最讲究的。
法国人爱吃面食,面包的种类很多;他们大都爱吃奶酪;在肉食方面,他们爱吃牛肉、猪肉、鸡肉、鱼子酱、鹅肝,不吃肥肉、宠物、肝脏之外的动物内脏、无鳞鱼和带刺骨的鱼。
法国人特别善饮,他们几乎餐餐必喝,而且讲究在餐桌上要以不同品种的酒水搭配不同的菜肴;除酒水之外,法国人平时还爱喝生水和咖啡。
法国人用餐时,两手允许放在餐桌上,但却不许将两肘支在桌子上,在放下刀叉时,他们习惯于将其一半放在碟子上,一半放在餐桌上。
(4)习俗禁忌
法国的国花是鸢尾花。对于菊花、牡丹、玫瑰、杜鹃、水仙、金盏花和纸花,一般不宜随意送给法国人。
法国的国鸟是公鸡,他们认为它是勇敢、顽强的直接化身。
法国的国石是珍珠。
法国人大多喜爱蓝色、白色与红色,他们所忌讳的色彩主要是黄色与墨绿色。
法国人所忌讳的数字是“13”与“星期五”。
在人际交往之中,法国人对礼物十分看重,但又有其特别的讲究。宜选具有艺术品味和纪念意义的物品,不宜以刀、剑、剪、餐具或是带有明显的广告标志的物品。男士向一般关系的女士赠送香水,也是不合适的。在接受礼品时若不当着送礼者的面打开其包装,则是一种无礼的表现。
主要是春节、清明节、端午节、元宵节、中秋节等等。过“春节”又称为过年,是汉族人千百年来的传统节日,也是一年中最隆重的节日。汉族人口众多,习俗各异。如今男女婚嫁大都已移风易俗,采用简单而又热闹的婚礼。但在有些汉族地区的农村,传统的民俗至今仍然保存着。
Wait for windfalls 守株待兔
In the Spring and Autumn Period, one day a farmer in the State of Song was working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩)accidentally and break its neck. The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.
That night he thought, 'I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is waiting for a rabbit each day by the stump.'
So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run intoit.
春秋时期,一日宋国有个农夫正在田里翻土,突然他看见有一只野兔从旁边的草丛里慌慌张张地窜出来,一头撞在田边的树墩子上,便倒在那儿一动也不动了。农民走过去一看:兔子死了。因为它奔跑的速度太快,把脖子都撞折(shé)了。
农民高兴极了,他一点力气没花,就白捡了一只又肥又大的野兔。他心想;要是天天都能捡到野兔,日子就好过了。
从此,他再也不肯出力气种地了。每天,他把锄头放在身边,就躺在树墩子跟前,等待着第二只、第三只野兔自己撞到这树墩子上来。世上哪有那么多便宜事啊。
农民当然没有再捡到撞死的野兔,而他的田地却荒芜了。这个成语用来讽刺那些坐等机遇的人,而不是通过努力而获取他们的所需。
