instrument of Celtic 凯尔特人origins which consists of an inflated 膨

胀的bag, usually leather; one or two chanters 吟唱者, melody pipes with

finger holes; and one or more drones, harmony pipes which each produce one tone. Wind is supplied in bagpipe to one or more reed-sounded pipes from a bag inflated by the performer, either through a blowpipe or by a bellows. Because the wind supply is continuous, the sounding pipes normally cannot be silent, and repeated melody notes must be articulated 连接by inserting grace notes (notes of extremely short duration) between them. Bagpipe The simplest bagpipes have a cane pipe with a single reed 簧片cut in the side; often two parallel 平行pipes are present, one a

chanter (melody pipe) and the other a drone (harmony pipe). Bagpipes were

probably introduced by the Romans, who acquired them in the Middle East. Bagpipes were generally known in Europe and western Asia by the time of the Roman Empire, often as shepherds' instruments. The earliest surviving Scottish Highland pipe dates from 1409. Bagpipe Although bagpipes are found throughout the world, Scotland is probably the country most identified with the instrument. Around 1670, bagpipers began to play for the Highland troops serving the English Army. Since that time, bagpipers have accompanied Scottish troops through many wars.

highland games in Scotland. The practice of hammer throwing was supposedly started by a group of hardy blacksmiths 铁匠. Bored with their work, they

decided to see who could throw a hammer the farthest. The object used in modern hammer-throwing contests is a metal ball weighing approximately 大约9 kg and attached to a wooden handle by a chain. Highland Games The tedium 沉闷of work also led to the creation of another highland sport, caber tossing. Before cutting a downed tree into lengths suitable 适当

的for building houses, loggers 樵夫often challenged one another to lift

the enormous log and throw it. Cabers range from 5 to 6 m in length and weigh 40 to 50 kg. The longer the caber, the more difficult it is to throw. Often the logs are soaked 浸湿in water to make them heavier. Highland

Games Once the caber is balanced, the athlete runs in the direction of the toss. With momentum 活力established, the athlete stops, bends

slightly, and lets the caber fall forward. At the proper moment, the athlete then heaves the caber in the direction of the fall. In a good throw, the tapered end of the pole flips up and away from the athlete. Ideally, the pole should flip over itself causing the wide end to hit the ground first before falling to rest horizontally 水平地. Highland Games With the

athlete remaining in place, a judge “reads”the throw according to a

端午节特色英文介绍

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice(糯米)wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed

leaves) and racing dragon boats.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. Thisregatta(赛舟会)commemorates the death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. Qu was a minister of the State of Chu situated in present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, during theWarring States Period(475-221BC)(战

国时期). He was upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity to the state. However, when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by

the State of Qin.

The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a hugereptile(爬行动物)in the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river.

During the Duanwu Festival, a glutinous rice pudding called zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to Qu. Ingredients such as beans,lotus seeds(莲子),chestnuts(栗子), pork fat and the golden

yolk of a salted duck egg are often added to the glutinous rice. The pudding is then wrapped with bamboo leaves, bound with a kind of raffia and boiled in salt water for hours.

The dragon-boat races symbolize the many attempts to rescue and recover Qu's body. A typical dragon boat ranges from 50-100 feet in length, with a beam of about 5.5 feet, accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.

A wooden dragon head is attached at the bow, and a dragon tail at thestern(船尾). A banner hoisted on a pole is also fastened at the stern and the hull is decorated with red, green and blue scales edged in gold. In the center of the boat is a canopied shrine behind which the drummers,gong(铜锣)beaters andcymbal(铙钹)players are seated

to set the pace for the paddlers. There are also men positioned at the bow to set off firecrackers, toss rice into the water and pretend to be looking for Qu. All of the noise and pageantry creates an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement for the participants and spectators alike. The races are held among different clans, villages and organizations, and the winners are awarded medals, banners, jugs of wine and festive meals.

范文五：英格兰足球超级联赛介绍

英格兰足球超级联赛共由20支球队组成，采取双循环赛制(每支球队分别以主、客场身份和其他球队交锋两次)。单场比赛积分计算方法是胜者得3分、负者得0分、平局则双方各得1分，赛季末按累计积分高低排名。积分相同的球队由淨胜球和总进球数等来决定排名，如果争冠球队通过以上条件仍不分上下就需要进行附加赛。在中国足彩网有相关专题介绍。

联赛前三名直接参加下赛季冠军联赛小组赛，第四名取得参加下赛季冠军联赛外围赛的资格，第五名参加下赛季欧霸杯(英格兰足总盃冠军和联赛盃冠军也参加欧霸杯，如果足总盃冠军已经取得欧战资格，则其名额给足总盃亚军，而如果联赛盃冠军已经取得欧战资格，则其名额给联赛中排名靠前的球队)。另外，本赛季英超联赛规定升3降3，联赛排名榜尾的3支球队下赛季将降到英冠。
