三、實考題分析

中國的傳統節慶膳食除了在數量和質量上與平時有所不同之外，一些歷史悠久、具有象征意義的食物也是節日必不可缺的伴侶。

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，我國的端午節是紀念古代詩人屈原的日子。那一天，人們通常要賽龍舟、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.

中秋節是觀賞滿月的日子。圓圓的月亮象征著圓滿，象征著家庭團聚。因此，中秋節的特制食品是一種圓形的月餅。

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.

春節是中國的農歷新年，除了常見的海鮮、家禽和肉類之外，人們還要按各自的地方習俗烹制傳統菜肴，如餃子和年糕。

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.
