大约在公元前五万年左右,古埃及人已由游牧改为农耕,定居在尼罗河两岸,他们的农业收成与尼罗河是否发生洪水有很大关系。古埃及人从长期的观察中发现,尼罗河泛滥的时间是有规律的,他们就把这个时间每次都记录在竹竿上,从中得知两次泛滥时间之间大约相隔365天;同时还发现,当尼罗河初涨的潮头来到今天开罗城附近的时候,也正好是太阳与天狼星同时从地平线上升起的时候。于是,古埃及人便把这一天定为一年的开始。这是"元旦"最早的由来。
元旦在我国汉语中是一个合成词,"元"是开始或第一的意思。"旦"是一个象形字,表示太阳从地平线上升起。我国殷商时代的\'青铜器上就有"旦"的象形字了。
At the first day of New Year, I was so excited that I got up very early in the morning. But Mother was earlier than me, and she had gotten the breakfast ready. Dumplings, that\'s my favourite. After the wonderful breakfast, I left home with my parents to visit our relatives. On the way, I said \"Happy New Year\" to everyone that I met and they all said that back to me. Everyone is happy and friendly. In my relatives\' house, they prepared many sweets and snacks for visitors. They are all very delicious. The more exciting thing was that I got some money from my relatives. I had a fine day in my relatives\' family.
My first day of New Year was very happy. It was a good start, and I would try my best to make this happiness last for the whole year.
Today,early in the morning,when I woke up,I found it was later for half an hour than I usually did.Then I remembered that I didn’t set up the morning call last night.So I just grabbed some bread and rushed to the bus station.The bus seemed always not appearing when I needed it.Finally,I took on a bus,then I felt so relieved,because I wouldn’t be late for school.Suddenly,the bus stopped and the driver told us to change another bus,because there was something wrong with the wheels.I was so worried.When I arrived school,I was late.It was such a bad day for me.
这天早上我醒来的时候我发现我比平时晚了半个小时起床,我才想起我昨晚没有调闹钟。因此我拿了点面包就冲到公共汽车站。公共汽车似乎总是在我需要的时候却不出现。最后,我坐上了公共汽车。我最后放松了,因为不会迟到了。但是车突然就停了,司机叫我们换车,因为车轮出故障了。我很焦急,等我到学校时,我已经迟到了。这对我来说真是糟糕的一天啊。
