一、端午節的英語怎麼說？

就是The Dragon Boat Festival 啦！

記起來還是挺容易，就是賽龍舟（Dragon Boat）的節日咯~

二、端午節的由來

眾所周知，端午節的由來是中國古代一位滿腹才華的詩人屈原。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Qu Yuan.

他愛國愛民受人尊敬，卻由於被嫉妒而受到陷害，逐漸被皇帝冷落。

He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.

屈原由於無法得到重用，眼看著自己的國家淪陷，於是投江自盡。

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river.

汨羅江畔的百姓划船在江中尋找他們尊敬愛戴的屈原，並且將米丟入汨羅江中，使屈原避免蛟龍的傷害。

The local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

儘管他們當時並沒有找到屈原，但是他們的行為直到今天仍然被人們傳頌著。

Although they were unable to find Qu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today.
