三、实考题分析
中国的传统节庆膳食除了在数量和质量上与平时有所不同之外，一些历史悠久、具有象征意义的食物也是节日必不可缺的伴侣。
Traditional holiday meals are different from everyday meals in terms of quantity and quality. In addition, some foods with a long history and symbolic significance are indispensable on these occasions.
例如，我国的端午节是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子。
For example, on the Dragon Boat Festival, a day set aside in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan, people will hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves.
中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness, and family reunion. The special food of the day is the yuebing, a round moon cake.
春节是中国的农历新年，除了常见的海鲜、家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统菜肴，如饺子和年糕。
The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year ’s holiday. In addition to the popular seafood, poultry and meat, people will prepare traditional food, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the year cake according to their regional custom.
温总理答记者问精彩语录
一个领导者应该把眼睛盯住前方，把握现在，思考未来。
As a leader, his eyes should be on the way ahead, his energy should be focused on the present at the same time he should be thinking of the future.
天变不足畏，祖宗不足法，人言不足恤。
One should not fear changes under the heaven and one should not blindly follow old conventions and one should not be deterred by complaints of others. 苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之。 （温总理五年前立下的誓言）
One should uphold his country’s interest with his life, he should not do things just to pursue his personal gains and he should not be evade responsibilities for fear of personal loss.
如果我们的国家有比黄金还要贵重的诚信、有比大海还要宽广的包容、有比爱自己还要宽广的博爱、有比高山还要崇高的道德，那么我们这个国家就是一个具有精神文明和道德力量的国家。
If China can have a level of credibility and integrity that is more precious than gold, if China can be more receptive and inclusive than the ocean, if China can have fraternity rather than love for oneself, and if China can have an ethical standard higher than the mountains, I believe this country will have the moral strength and also will become a country with advanced cultural development.
民之所忧，我之所思；民之所思，我之所行。
What people are concerned about preoccupies my mind, and what preoccupies people ’s mind is what I need to address.
为了国家的富强，为了社会的公平正义，为了让人们幸福快乐地过得更好，为了让孩子们上好学，为了使我们的民族在世界赢得应有的尊严，我愿献出我的全部心血和精力。
To ensure this country to become stronger and more prosperous, to build a society of equity and justice, to ensure the people live a happy life, our children can go to school and our nation is duly respected in the international community, I'm willing to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to this cause.
所谓“中国政府灭绝西藏文化”是一派谎言。
Claim of China’s "cultural genocide" in Tibet nothing but lie.
用人民的钱为人民谋利益。（有关财政体制改革）
use people's money to serve people's needs
我相信13亿人民微笑着面对世界，全世界人民也会微笑着对待中国。（有关北京奥运会）
I have confidence that the smiles of 1.3 billion people in front of the world will be reciprocated by the smiles of the people from all over the world.
周虽旧邦，其命维新（《诗经》）；如将不尽，与古为新（《诗品》）。（有关解放思想）
Although Zhou was an ancient state, it had a reform mission; only innovation could ensure the growth and vitality of a nation.
