A: Yup, Duan Wu Festival, but it’s also just simply called the Dragon Boat Festival. It’s among the three major traditional holidays celebrated by Chinese.

A:是的，是端午节，不过（英文中）通常叫做龙舟节。它是中国三大传统节日之一。

B: Other than the Dragon Boat Races, what’s special about this day?

A: Traditionally, it was thought to be a time for warding off evil spirits, but now it’s just thought of a time to remind family members to take care of their health.

A:在传统上，这一天一直被视为是驱凶避邪的日子，不过现在它的意义已经只是提醒家人注意身体健康了。

A: After you’ve worked up an appetite, you can eat Zongzi. Everyone eats them during the Dragon Boat Festival.

B: Eating is a really important part of Chinese culture, huh?

B:吃真是中国文化中很重要的一部分，对吧？

A: Yes, perhaps one of the most important aspects. Don’t worry though; there are no surprises in Zongzi. They are just rice with either meat or sweet red bean paste wrapped inside. They are quite yummy!

A:没错，或许是最重要的之一。不过别担心，粽子里面没什么特别的东西，只是米饭包着肉或豆沙而已。好吃极了！
